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 'phir bhi dil hai hidustani' (our
heart is still Indian).
