Knowing India is one thing, knowing people and culture of India is another! On International basis, Language of India: Hindi, Religion of India: Hinduism (which in turn divides into 4 sects and groups), Dress of India: Saree... but nationally they're tremendous! Language: Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Punjabi etc etc etc, Religion: Islam, Hinduism, Budhism, Christianity and many more, Dress: Saree, Shalwar Kameez.

Not only India, but many other countries have been found, from India itself! Bangladesh, and most importantly Pakistan. All of their culture and languages have been shared! India as it was, or as it is, is a very vast topic. I don't believe reading or understanding just one encyclopedia would be enough to gain knowledge and understanding of India. You're right, just living a few years is not enough. When I visited India last year, it was just a distance of 980km from my locale, but yet there was a huge difference in dressing, religion, culture (although culture changes after every 100km) as well as treating other people. Women in India are really now treated well. There has been a great change since that (hideous) event of gang-rape of a young student doctor in Delhi. I must accept that women are being treated well, and those images are still on my mind. I can still feel women cooking on road in their "Dhaaba" (Hotel; for any one who doesn't understand that word) to help their men in work. I can still see that girls were free to move and take a part in which ever activity they would like to.

That was India, no wonder they're right when they say, "Incredible India!". If you start learning India, you're going to meet you death with a lot of tally marks of failures.
