The village with the MOST UNUSUAL NAMES...



Coffee, English, High Court, For, British, Mantri, Glucose, Bus, Train, Gramophone, Japan, Military, Hotel, Jailor and Dollar. Believe it or not, these aren’t just regular words, but actual names of people from Bhadrapura, a village, on the outskirts of Bangalore. The Hakki-Pikki tribe who live here are nomadic peddlers and get their name inspirations from their daily life – from objects around them, the places they visit, film actors, food and more – often with hilarious results.

The village that builds ECO-BRIDGES...



Mawlynnong, a village in the East Khasi Hills in Meghalaya, has the acclaim of being the cleanest village in Asia in 2003. It’s also famous for its most popular Eco-attraction – living root bridges.  The Khasi villages are connected by a network of pathways known as the King’s way. Throughout this network, hundreds of living root bridges are formed by intertwining roots of Ficus elastica. These root bridges, some of which are over a hundred feet long, take ten to fifteen years to become fully functional. They are also extraordinarily strong — some of them can support the weight of 50 or more people at a time.

The Indian village WITH AFRICAN NATIVES...



African by origin, Indian by nationality and Gujarati by language, the Siddi tribe from Jambur in Gujarat, are originally Bantu people of sub-Saharan Africa. Predominantly brought to the Indian subcontinent  as mercenaries or slaves by Arab and Portuguese merchants, they exist today as an ethnic group in various states all over India. While being more or less Indian-ized, they rigorously follow a rule of marrying within the Siddi community.

The village that plants 111 TREES FOR EVERY GIRL BORN...



In a country that still favors the birth of a son, Piplantri village in Rajasthan not only embraces daughters but has created a tradition that benefits the planet. This endearing village plants 111 trees every time a girl is born. The village also collectively contributes Rs. 31,000 and puts it into a 20-year fixed deposit for the girl. Parents also sign an affidavit stating that their daughter will receive proper education and that the girl will be married only after she reaches legal age.
