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.
