We watched a movie about India. The capital of India is New Delhi. The official languages spoken in India are Hindi, English and several others. In India the main religion is Hindu. Hindus believe in reincarnation which is when your soul gets reborn in another living thing. Karma, which is the belief that what you do today effects what happens tomorrow and what happened today was somehow based on what you did yesterday, determines what your reincarnation will be. The Indus River is sacred and people bath in it even though it is polluted.. Most Hindus do not eat beef because the cow is a sacred animal in India. Cows are allowed to roam free in the streets of India. Although food is sold on the street, it is not a wise decision to eat it because it can make you very ill.
