Culture of a country is the set of customs, ideas, beliefs, etc. Indian culture is a product of thousands of years of evolution and influences giving it a distinct identity. Indian society is a salad bowl of cultures wherein multiple unit cultures exist in addition to a national culture.
Reasons behind the sustainability of Indian culture:
1. Tolerance: Rooted in Sarva Dharma Sambhava, which has enabled India to host all major global religions.
2. Adaptability: Helping us survive the changing times without compromising the learning of our past
3. Civilizational Ethos: Harmony, Universal brotherhood, Continuity.
4. Integration: Since time immemorial, foreigners have come to India and got Indianized and integrated.
5. Unity in Diversity: Despite huge societal and ethnic diversities, we are united to a common idea of being Indians.
Of late, there has been division in the grand idea of Indian culture due to rising communalism, regionalism, casteism, inequality etc. However, it must be noted that being the only surviving ancient civilization, it is normal for us to overcome any adversity that time may throw upon us.
