The term
culture refers to a state of intellectual development or manners.
The social and political forces that influence the growth of a human being is
defined as culture.Indian culture is rich and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way.
Our manners, way of communicating with one another, etc are one of the important
components of our culture. Even though we have accepted modern means of living,
improved our lifestyle, our values and beliefs still remain unchanged. A person
can change his way of clothing, way of eating and
living but the rich values in
a person always remains unchanged because they are deeply rooted within our hearts
, mind, body and soul which we receive from our culture.
Indian culture treats guests as god and serves them and takes care of them as if
they are a part and parcel of the
family itself. Even though we don’t have anything
to eat, the guests are never left hungry and are always looked after by the members
of the family. Elders and the
respect for elders is a major component in Indian culture.
Elders are the driving force for any family and hence the love and respect for elders
comes from within and is not artificial. An individual takes blessings from his elders
by touching their feet. Elders drill and pass on the Indian culture within us as we grow.“Respect one another” is another lesson that is taught from the books of Indian culture.
All people are alike and respecting one another is ones duty. In foreign countries the
relation between the boss and the employee is like a master and slave and is purely
monetary whereas in Indian culture the relation between the boss and the employee is
more like homely relations unlike foreign countries.Helpful nature is another striking feature in our Indian culture. Right from our
early days of childhood we are taught to help one another in need of help and
distress. If not monetary then at least in kind or non-monetary ways.Indian culture
tells us to multiply and distribute joy and happiness and share
sadness and pain. It tells us that by all this we can develop co-operation and
better living amongst ourselves and subsequently make this world a better place to
live in.Even though India is a country of various religions and caste our culture tells
us just one thing 'After all we are humans '.
