India is the most populous country in the world: 1.4 billion inhabitants, 22 official languages, an area equal to six times the size of France. A trip to India requires preparation, at least a minimum: documents to obtain, rules to understand, scams to avoid.

India requires several documents from French travelers, the rules for obtaining which change regularly. The Indians move their heads like a pendulum to mean all of these at once: “yes”, ‘no’, “ perhaps yes” and “perhaps no”. In Ladakh for example, you can walk without a license in Leh, the capital, but not in the Nubra valley. In the city, it's chaos: locals are moving in the wrong direction, overtaking all unnecessary car rentals in India. It seems like India is shaking up, shaking up. It's true. We usually say that India is shake up, shake up. But... But... The Indians drive on the left. The higher the eyebrows and the faster the head moves, the stronger the acquiescence.
