Few
countries in the world have such an ancient and diverse culture as India's.
Stretching back in an unbroken sweep over 5000 years, India's culture has
been enriched by successive waves of migration which were absorbed into
the Indian way of life.
It is this variety
which is a special hallmark of India. Its physical, religious and racial
variety is as immense as its linguistic diversity. Underneath this diversity
lies the continuity of Indian civilization and social structure from the
very earliest times until the present day.
Modern
India presents a picture of unity in diversity to which history provides
no parallel. Here is a catalogue of everything Indian. Indian religions,
festivals, rituals, artifacts, monuments, costumes, music and dance, language
and literature. Come and discover a little more of India's culture by selecting
any of these topics.
