INDIAN

CULTURE ESSAY 6 (400 WORDS)

The culture in India 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. Culture is the way we behave to others,
how softly we react to things, our understanding towards values, ethics, principles, and beliefs.

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. India is a big melting pot having various
beliefs and behaviors which gave birth to different cultures here.

Various religions here have their origin from very old age almost five thousand years. It is
considered as Hinduism was originated here from Vedas. All the holy Hindu scriptures have been
scripted in the sacred Sanskrit language. It is also believed that Jainism has ancient origin and their
existence was in the Indus Valley. Buddhism is another religion which was originated in the
country after the teachings of Lord Gautama Buddha. Christianity was brought here later by the
French and Britishers who ruled here for almost two centuries long time. In this way various
religions were originated in ancient time or brought to this country by any means. However,
People of each religion live here peacefully by getting together without affecting their rituals and
beliefs.

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.
