„Front Page | Cricket | England on Tour Introduction Madras Kanpur Ahmedabad Calcutta Bombay Mohali Bangalore Delhi Introduction If every nation was half as crazy about cricket as India, surely football would no longer be the world's biggest sport. Huge, noisy crowds greet virtually every game of cricket - let alone the international fixtures. Spectators cram into grounds - and if they can't get in they balance precariously on roofs, tree branches or any other vantage point available.“

BBC - London - Where I Live - Features - Tea and Coffee
„1600-1800s For 200 years East India sailing ships returning from China brought regular supplies. Although the steam ships bringing teas from India, Ceylon and Africa frequently berthed further down river, their cargoes would be brought up as far as London Bridge in the Clipper ships during the 1880's by barges. This area became the centre of the UK tea trade. The London tea trade has conducted the business of unloading ships, marketing and blending on both sides of the Thames at London Bridge and although the tea auctions were held north of the river, the South Bank boasted the most prestigious warehousing facilities.“

„Fortune's overseas adventures included investigations into the commercial opportunities in growing tea. Commissioned by the British East India Company, he disguised himself as a Chinese peasant as he smuggled out cuttings of the tea plant Camellia sinensis from China into India. These cuttings enabled India and Ceylon to become established as major growers and exporters of tea.“

BBC - h2g2 - Microbes - the Harm They Do
„Half of Athens was razed by plague in 430 BC2 . The bubonic plague that ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages - and had previously swept across India and China - was brought to Egypt by merchants fleeing the warring Crimea, where the Tartar army had been hurling the corpses of plague victims over the walls of Kaffa. New diseases such as ebola and AIDS have claimed just as many lives since their discovery. Old diseases such as tuberculosis, once thought to be controlled, are again on the rise, not only in 'third world' countries, but also in developed nations.Humans are not the only creatures susceptible to disease.“

BBC - Science & Nature - Articles - India's Panna Tiger Reserve
„When we began work in late 1995, we estimated the tiger density in Panna to be not more then two to three per 100km2. Summers there are long and hot, and temperatures of more than 45ºC are not unusual. At that time forest fires that raged out of control were common, and these had a devastating effect on the habitat.“
