In a country as diverse
and complex as India, it is not surprising to find that people here
reflect the rich glories of the past, the culture, traditions and
values relative to geographic locations and the numerous distinctive
manners, habits and food that will always remain truly Indian.
According to five thousand years of recorded history.
From the eternal snows of the Himalayas to the cultivated peninsula
of far South, from the deserts of the West to the humid deltas of
the East, from the dry heat and cold of the Central Plateau to the
cool forest foothills, Indian lifestyles clearly glorify the
geography. The food, clothing and habits of an Indian differ in
accordance to the place of origin.
Indians believe in sharing happiness and sorrow. A festival or a
celebration is never constrained to a family or a home. The whole
community or neighbourhood is involved in bringing liveliness to an
occasion. A lot of festivals like Diwali, Holi, Id, Christmas,
Mahaveer Jayanthi are all celebrated by sharing sweets and
pleasantries with family, neighbours and friends. An Indian wedding
is an occasion that calls for participation of the family and
friends. Similarly, neighbours and friends always help out a family
in times of need.
Ethnically Indians speak different languages, follow different
religions, eat the most diverse varieties of food all of which add
to the rich Indian culture.The beauty of the Indian people lies in
the spirit of tolerance, give-and-take and a composition of cultures
that can be compared to a garden of flowers of various colours and
shades of which, while maintaining their own entity, lend harmony
and beauty to the garden - India! |
