Pondicherry is the capital of Francophone culture in India. In the Treaty of Cession, the French and Indian governments agreed on preserving the unique French culture of Pondicherry by retaining some traditions. Franco-Pondicherrians refer themselves as Creoles, a population mostly born to French and Tamil parents or their descendants.

Kalbeliyas are pioneers in music and playing music to ‘charm’ snakes has always been part of their culture. Kalbeliyas believe in kinship with snakes and have immense knowledge about the reptile. They find their hideouts easily and catch them with their bare hands.

Sistan and Balochistan once formed the border of Achaemenid Persia and Mauryan India and now mark the border between Iran and Pakistan. In a landscape of mud volcanoes and vast deserts, the Baloch people live a tough life in a deeply conservative society and harsh environment, with little connection to the outside world.
