Республика Узбекистан — молодое государство, но его история уходит корнями в глубокую древность. На протяжении веков этот край был местом пересечения культур и невероятных событий. Здесь проходил Великий шелковый путь, развивались зороастризм, буддизм и ислам.

On 26th January 1950 India became a republic, shedding its last links with its colonial past. With fundamental rights and civil liberties guaranteed by the state, the new constitution was universally acclaimed as the ‘world’s greatest experiment in liberal government’.

A jornalista Florência Costa—que tem laços de família com a Índia, onde viveu por muitos anos—nos leva à cozinha indiana, com seus múltiplos temperos; às festas monumentais de casamentos arranjados; à espiritualidade e às religiões e até aos banheiros (raros).
