If any academic discourse takes place at any part of the globe on pre-historic culture and its influence till date ever, the participating scholars’ first and foremost focus would be on India. There is hardly any other option – such is the basis and extent of Indian culture. None knows where does the Indian culture stem from; it has been going (in the same manner) not through centuries but through millenniums. Thanks to all these it is dubbed as a distinctive way of life instead of any specific culture as the domino effect of any religion. Well, you may certainly term the same as a Hindu culture also, a religion and culture which is inseparable from India. However, the Indian or Hindu culture is not static. On the contrary, it has been changing with the passing of time or to meet demands of changing times, but its basis or foundation remains eternal. If you explore the history of India, it will become apparent that thousands of alien aggressions or onslaughts have occurred in India through centuries. The aggressors ranging from Alexander, Mughals to British have ruled, exploited and even ruined (to some extent) but none has been able to destruct the Indian culture once and for all. Perhaps the same remains mysterious to you too. What are most striking, different new religions have taken shapes in India. You can surely christen India as a great and colossal milieu that has the intrinsic ability to engulf all. In essence, India has been the place where different opinions, ways can meet and exchange thoughts with each other. What do we see; these days are just the same. In the Indian scenario every human being can live in accordance with his her own belief, he/she can also celebrate own religious festival at free will also. If you are desirous to find an exclusive notion of Indian culture, you ought to visit the temples and institutions, widely acclaimed for the reverence and devotion towards the saga of music, dance and architecture down the ages. Indian culture is of thousands of years old but continues to amaze us all.
Indian culture is like an ocean, where lot many rivers meet but yet the essence of ocean remain unchanged. Even after so many invasions India culture never perished, rather it diversified beautifully and yet remained intact. This is home of different origins, who have basically added to Indian culture, but they were never able to wipe out even a trace of it. Therefore, Indian culture is not only vast, but it is beautifully knitted as one.
