INDIA
-
Holy Country of Hinduism : |
 |
India is the second most populous
nation in the world. There are
fourteen official languages in
India. However, there are
twenty-four languages spoken by more
than a million of people, and
countless other dialects spoken by
minority of people. Seven major
religions and many other minor
religions are practised in India.
There are mainly six ethnic groups
and countless holidays. Religion is
regarded as the major subject in
Indian culture and Indian people
practise it in every aspect of their
life. Hinduism is the major religion
of India as 80 percent of the
population follow this religion. The
Muslims, the Sikhs, the Jains etc.
are other remarkable religions
practised in India. Therefore, India
is such a country where one can find
many different culture, traditions
and religions in a single country.
People are encouraged to travel to
India to have first hand experience
of enjoying unique art, culture,
religions, traditions, architecture,
aesthetics, holy temples and
shrines, nature’s beauty such as
seas, ocean and wildlife.
India's history goes back to 3,200
BC when Hinduism was first founded.
Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism. Judaism.
Zoroashtrianism, Christianity and
Islam all exist within the country
today. As a consequence of India's
size, the history of the country has
seldom been the same for two
adjoining territories, and its great
natural wealth has lured a
succession of traders and foreign
influences to it, each having left
their imprint in the country,
however faint or localized. Thus,
Chinese fishing nets in Kerala are a
throwback to that country's ancient
maritime trade, while in the north,
terra-cotta figurines of the
centuries BC bear distinctly Greek
traces.

The
subcontinent of India lies in south
Asia, between Pakistan, China and
Nepal. To the north it is bordered
by the world's highest mountain
chain, where foothill valleys cover
the northernmost of the country's 26
states. Further south, plateaus,
tropical rain forests and sandy
deserts are bordered by palm fringed
beaches .
Side by side with the country's
staggering topographical variations
is its cultural diversity, the
result of the coexistence of a
number of religions as well as local
tradition. Thus, the towering
temples of south India, easily
identifiable by their ornately
sculptured surface, are associated
with a great many crafts and
performing arts of the region.
In the desert of Kutch, Gujarat, on
the other hand, a scattering of
villages pit themselves against the
awesome forces of nature, resulting
in Spartan lifestyles made vibrant
by a profusion of jewelry and
ornamental embroidery used to adorn
apparel and household linen. In the
extreme north is the high altitude
desert of Ladakh. Local culture is
visibly shaped by the faith -
Buddhism -as well as by the harsh
terrain. Yet another facet of Indian
culture is observed in the colorful
tribal lifestyles of the north
eastern states of Nagaland, Mizoram,
Tripura and Manipur with their folk
culture. |
