The Indian worlds are different from most other worlds I’ve been to.  India is one of the oldest civilizations out there, with cities thousands of years old on Earth.  I’ve been there, and the sense of age is amazing.  The crazy thing is, they’ve somehow managed to keep that feel in their new colonies.  Going there, it’s hard to realize that they’re only decades or centuries old.  They feel…real old.  Established.  Like India has always been there.
