The culture of
India is one of the oldest and unique. In India, there is amazing cultural
diversity throughout the country. The South, North, and Northeast have their
own distinct cultures and almost every state has carved out its own cultural
niche. There is hardly any culture in the world that is as varied and unique as
India. India is a vast country, having variety of geographical features and
climatic conditions. India is home to some of the most ancient civilizations,
including four major world religions Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
Indian culture is
everything such as inherited ideas, way of people’s living, beliefs, rituals,
values, habits, care, gentleness, knowledge, etc. India is an oldest
civilization of the world where people still follow their old culture of
humanity and care. People of old generations pass their cultures and beliefs to
their next generations so, every child here behaves well to others as he/she
already learned about culture from parents and grandparents. We can see culture
here in everything like dance, fashion, artistry, music, behavior, social
norms, food, architecture, dressing sense, etc. like Punjabi women wear salwar
suits and men wear kurtas but Hindu women wear sarees and men wear lungi or dhoti,
Punjabis enjoy dancing Bhangra, Gujarati’s enjoy doing Garba, Rajasthan’s enjoy
Ghumar, Assamese enjoy Bihu whereas Maharashtrian enjoy Lavoni.
Variety of eras came and gone but no one
was so powerful to change the influence of our real culture. The culture of
younger generations is still connected to older generations through umbilical
cord. Our ethnic culture always teaches us to behave well, respect elders, care
helpless people and always help the needy and poor people. It is our religious
culture that we should keep fast, do worship, offer Gange Jal, do Surya Namaskar,
touch feet of elder in family, do yoga and meditation on daily basis, give food
and water to the hungry and disabled people. There is great culture of our
nation that we should always welcome our guests like a God very happily, that’s
why India is famous for a common saying like “Atithi Devo Bhava”. The basic
roots of our great culture are humanity and spiritual practices.
Instead of a
lot of diversities Indian culture is based on togetherness and its people
believe in brotherhood which shows the richness of the culture.
