Uniqueness of Indian Culture

The Indian culture is exclusive and diverse. The culture is one of the oldest. In India, there is an astonishing cultural mixture throughout the country. The South, North, and Northeast have their own distinct cultures and almost every state has shaped out its own cultural niche. There is hardly any culture in the world that is as diverse 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 civilisation, including four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

A combination of these factors has caused into an exclusive Indian culture. Indian culture is a composite mixture of varying styles and influences. In matter of language, the different states of India have different official languages; some of them not recognised by the government by they are vastly spoken. Some states have more then one official language. For instance, Bihar in east India has three official languages – Hindi, Urdu and Bengali - which are all recognised by the central government. But Sikkim, also in east India, has four official languages of which only Nepali is recognised by the central government.

In the matter of cuisine, for instance, the North and the South are totally different. Colours, gaiety, enthusiasm, prayers and rituals characterise festivals in India. In the realm of music, there are varieties of folk, popular, pop, and classical music. The classical tradition of music in India includes the Carnatic and the Hindustani music. 

Though different cultural practices are carried across the country one of the unique feature of people in India is, they don’t like to say ‘no’ be it verbally or non-verbally. They might rather make excuses if they not comfortable doing the job. It is so because they don’t like to give negative answers. This show we indian are soft in nature and like to handle thing smoothly and avoid breaking any relation in any circumstances.
