CULTURE & LITURATURE : | XCloseX |
The culture of India refers to the way of life of the people of India. India's languages, reli- gions,
dance, music, archi- tecture, food and customs differ from place to place within the country. The Indian culture,
often labelled as an amalgamation of several cultures, spans across the Indian subcontinent and has been
influenced by a history that is several millennia old. Many elements of India's diverse cultures, such as
Indian religions, yoga, and Indian cuisine, have had a profound impact across
|
the world. India is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, collectively known as Indian religions. Indian religions, also
known as Dharmic religions are a major form of world religions along with Abrahamic one. Today, Hinduism and Buddhism are the
world's third and fourth-largest religions respectively, with over 2 billion followers altogether, and possibly as
many as 2.5 or 2.6 billion followers. India is one of the most religiously diverse nations in the world, with some
of the most deeply religious societies and cultures.
Religion still plays a central and definitive role in the
life of many of its people. According to a 2001 census of India, the religion of 80% of the people is Hinduism.
Islam is practised by around 13% of all Indians. The country had over 23 million Christians, over 19 million Sikhs,
about 8 million Buddhists and about 4 million Jains. Sikhism, Jainism and especially Buddhism are influential not
only in India but across the world. Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, and the Baha'i Faith are also influential
but their numbers are smaller. Atheism and agnostics also have visible influence in India, along with a self-ascribed
tolerance to other people.
