India is the host to one of the most ancient civilizations in the world. Over time, this wonderful country has borne witness to immigrants and settlers of various origins and nationalities and has been ever embracing of their influences and has gone onto forge an identity that is all her own, and still in so many ways, a reflection of all the visitors of the past. That every part of India is unique is a given, but there is none that is as different as Pondicherry. This Union Territory has been a part of the French settlement for nearly two and a half centuries and proudly displays traces of its French connection.
