Birding is very popular in India. I think it was brought in by the British, which is perhaps why Hong Kong was the only Birding place in China.
A somewhat obscure trivia: the Indian National Congress party was established by the British Civil Servant A. O. Hume [1], who was an avid birder, ran a magazine called "Stray Feathers", and published "The Nests and Eggs of Indian Birds". [2] A. O. Hume was expelled from the British Civil Service for his sympathy and support for the cause of the Indians.
