India (Multipower Earth)

India is a nation located in Asia, with a population of 1,324,171,354, and an area of 3,287,263 km2 (1,269,219 sq mi).

European Colonization
Many nations established trading posts in India, among them England (later the United Kingdom), the Netherlands, France, Denmark, and Portugal. These nations sent thousands of governors, businessmen, and families to the Indian subcontinent to help rule their colonies, forts, and trading stations, and to this day, those European-Indians contribute to the culture, economy, and government of India.

French Indian Settlements
There are five French-Indian Settlements: These settlements currently have a combined population of about 1,117,664 people, of which 367,894 are ethnic French, and another 263,455 are of mixed French/Indian heritage. The overwhelming religious affiliation of these five cities in India is Roman Catholic (43%), Huguenot (29%), and Hindu (22%). In these five cities, the language of government, commerce, religion, and education is French. Everyone in these cities are fluent in English, French, Hindi, and the local language, whether that be Tamil, Bengali, Telegu, or Malayalam). Even after the end of French India in 1954, French remains the language of prestige and culture in these cities.  A number of movies have been filmed about French India and French Indians, giving it a glamorous mystique in the Indian nation and making the cities a large draw of tourism.
