Well...there are more than 1,55,618 Post Offices in India, and the number is increasing by the day!

Regarding martial arts......India is also the birthplace of Buddhism, and the monks in the early stages were supposed to defend themselves when the situation demanded. by and by, when Buddhism traveled across the South-East Asian countries, the martial art form began to be practiced in different ways, giving birth to a number of now popular martial arts.

Even, the roots of wrestling can traced to India. One of the most recent and popular faces in wrestling is The Great Khali a.k.a Dalip Singh.

Your information is quite informative but I wonder how many people use post office now as they have good competition with courier companies.

Thanks,
