Indian cultural characteristics

Indian culture is very unique, with strong religiosity, diversity and inclusiveness. Indian culture is not very open, but it also resists the invasion of any foreign culture. Although many kings in India used Buddhism as their national religion in the early days, they were later ruled by Mongolian and Turkish princes who believed in Islam. For nearly 200 years, it was colonized by Christian Britain, but after each ruler left, India resumed its Hindu tradition. Islamic culture has impacted India for hundreds of years, assimilated Pakistan and Bangladesh, but failed to shake the main culture of India. There are two main reasons for India's cultural diversity: one is foreign invasion in history, and the other is peaceful cultural exchange. In addition, there are hundreds of ethnic groups and numerous tribes in India, all of which have their own languages, religious beliefs and cultural traditions. Therefore, Indian culture has been enriched and developed in the process of constantly absorbing foreign cultures, showing a rare diversity in the world. Food culture: The population of India is about 12 1 100 million, ranking second in the world. India belongs to a multi-ethnic country and is also influenced by China and western culture. According to regions and religions, there are many kinds of diets. For example, northern India was influenced by the Mughal Empire to eat meat, while southern India insisted on traditional vegetarian diet. With the passage of time, the gap has gradually narrowed, but there are many menus for vegetarians in India. Hotels are also divided into vegetarian restaurants and non-vegetarian restaurants, and some hotels have separate seats.
