Cultural Heritage And Specialties Of India
India is Integrated with multicultural elements, India's cultural heritage is a wonderful result of new experiments due to external invasions, cultural contacts and social agitations.Culture is such a concept, which can be determined only on the basis of traits.
because there is no clear definition of it possible. In fact, culture is formed by rituals.Thus we can say that 'culture is the developed or condensed form of samskar as'. Due to the technologies of communication and mechanization, today the whole world is going through the process of globalization and integration. On the basis of observation of these attitudes we can understand that how forward, enlightened and highly analytical were thedrivers of our culture, who introduced the concept of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' thousands of years ago. The main characteristics of Indian culture are collective family system, sublime, freedom of thought, receptivity, antiquity, sense of universal welfare, tolerance and what is most remarkable, is unity in diversity, great scholar Risley writes in this context- "Physical In the difference of social, linguistic diversity, a unity is seen in the entire Indian style from the Himalayas to the Camorine. This distinctive cultural unity is the result of thousands of years of coordination and tolerance. Despite all the diversity of form, colour, region,language and religion, there are strong elements of collective unity in it.Geographical variations exist at every level in India. Here are the snowy hills of the Himalayas, the deserts of Rajasthan, in addition to this plateau, doab, coastal areas, dense forests, ravines, tribal-dominated areas of the northeast, the insular ecosystem of Andaman and Nicobar specify the geographical diversity here. Obviously, geographical variation alsogives rise to social diversity. Costumes, language, food, entertainment, customs develop according to the ecological patterns. The physical structure also changes due to geographical features. The people of Punjab look completely different from the people of southern states or Bengalis. Thousands of local cultures have developed all over India. Apart from Bengali, Tamil, Punjabi,Bihari, Rajasthani, Manipuri, Assamese, Odia, Kashmiri, Bundelkhandi, Garhwali, many small and large local social sects exist through their collectives.
The culture of India is centred on enlightenment. The tradition of narrow conduct has never existed here. Tolerance is deeply rooted in India with a culture of 'live and let live'.It is not that it has not been attacked, some times foreigners and sometimes people amongus have attacked the root of culture on the basis of bigotry, narrow-mindedness, regionalism, but they were always defeated.The diversity of Indian languages is amazing. The influence of a particular region is clearly visible on the language. Different languages have different levels of dialects. Every language has a different world, there are different literatures, whose growth is done by the special creators of that language. A little deeper analysis automatically proves that there is a kind of closeness in these languages.The influence of Sanskrit can be clearly seen on the entire South Indian language. Brahmi is the mother of scripts of almost all Indian languages. From Brahmi scripts like Bangla, Kaichi, Marathi, Gujarati,Devanagari, Mahajani etc were born. During the freedom movement, there was an unprecedented adjustment and cooperation of the Indian language creators. However, in the course of time, linguistic disputes were created due to petty regional political passions. Therefore, we can proudly say that despite the diversity, the elements of collectivity are strong in Indian languages.Now let's talk about the religious aspect. India is a confluence of faiths and beliefs.There are many classes and sub-classes employed in the Hindus. Vaishnava, Shakta, Shaiva, Pancharatrik etc.
There are classifications. Apart from Shia and Sunni, there are many classes and equations among Muslims. Jains,Buddhists, Christians of all religions have established spiritual relations here.The concept of secularism which has been set in the modern era, is not beingimplemented properly in any country today. In America, the biggest advocate of change and social values, if incidents of racial abuse can often be heard in America, then what about other countries. This secularism was implemented in the true sense by Emperor Ashoka. The ruling series of Minander, Harshavardhana, Akbar Zainul Abidin laid the foundation of religious harmony in a very effective way. The culture of India is based on enlightenment. When the light emerges fromit, the haze of narrow and separatist communalism begins to dissipate itself.Secularism is paramount in democratic values because without secularism, the totality of democracy is not possible. In fact, the idea of having 'Sarva Dharma Samabhav' in secularism is similar to both the political and religious sentiments of the people following many religions. In this, religion is considered a question of personal importance by separating it from the collective functions of the state.A major revolutionary aspect of Indian culture is that it has the capacity to hold variability. Indian culture has always adopted the progressive elements of other rich cultures of the world. Roman, European, Greek, Arabic, Mandarin, some elements of all can be traced in Indian culture. India's cultural unity is ancient and our ancestors have always maintained it through exchanges. Not that it was not attacked. From time to time there were political and cultural attacks on India by foreigners. Due to its immense natural wealth,India will always remain a victim of political ambitions. But the foundation of our culture is so strong that it is not easy to shake it. Even the drains in the Ganges together become pure. The Ganga-Jamuni culture of India will continue to be refined by neutralizing the impact of up culture.India has a tradition of dominance in all fields like philosophy, arts, crafts, architecture, science,technology, literature etc. As many contradictory streams of philosophy have been present in India as in no other country, many ideologies, along with Charvaka, Advaita, Dvaita, Shuddadvaita, Dvaitadvaita, Samkhya, Mimamsa, Logic, Vaisheshika, Buddhist, Ajivaka, Jain, take their right shape here.succeeded in doing.Under artistic disciplines, Indian sages set the highest standards in all fields like music, dance, painting etc. The Ajanta Ellora caves represent the three examples of architecture, painting and religious tolerance.Two major methods have been prevalent in classical music – Hindustani and Carnatic styles. Apart from these, many classical dances are also prevalent, which include Kathak,Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Mohiniattam, Odissi, Kathakali etc. Almost each region has its own distinctive folk dance styles. Folk dances are popular all over India, but Rajasthan and the north eastern states are a little more prosperous in this regard. The Kalbelia dance of Rajasthan has also got a place in the list of UNESCO. Apart from folk dances, many regional and tribal dances and styles of folk songs have colored our culture. All these music and dances echo our human sensibilities and give a feeling of our cultural vitality.India's literary prosperity has always been the center of global attraction. Rigveda is considered to be the oldest composition of the world. Works of Buddhist, Jain and Vedic literature have been the basis of both philosophy and history. The works of Kalidas, Ashvaghosha, Tulsidas, Kabir, Surdas, Bharavi,Bharatmuni, Bihari are the invaluable heritage of literature. Widespread in both language and dialect throughout India
