    Foreign ppl tend to think "blonds and polar bears", but I'd have to say it depends on your interest and your own location. We've had quite a few ppl make a great impression around the globe, for example Peter Forsberg, Annika Sörenstam, Dag Hammarsköld, Olof Palme, Björn Borg to name a few.

    Geografically I think Stockholm would be most famous. As for a "thing" I'd have to say the Wasa ship, famous for sailing a few hundred meters, sinking, laying on the seabed for 333 years and then being salvaged and put almost unharmed in a museum (almost unharmed for a ship thats spent more than 300 years at the bottom of the sea that is). -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship)

    Taj.
    Red for
    Dayal Bagh
    Lodhi Garden
    Konark temple
    Golden temple
    and there are many more..

    Not to offend you but most of the things you mention are unknown to me, but I do know of the corruption. And no, I'm not from India, from Sweden in fact (if that wasn't obvious from my previous post). More than that, and I'm even more sorry for this, the most known fact about your country (to me) is your conflict up north and, on the good side, the fact that the tibetan exile government operates from a base inside india.
