subbu .

India is a great flow of cultures, faiths and colors.
This free flow of thought, life style from times immemorial has been taking its own course and the end result has been shaping the humanity and its evolution. India is the biggest and most ancient experiment where almost all racial and ethnic groups of the world have met and mixed.

We do have pure Mongolian races in North East, Australoids and Munda aborigines in Center and East, Mediterranean and Arabian in the North and West, Central Asian Turk-Mongols in North, Aryans in North.
These last form same stock with Aryans of Iran [Ayran], Aryavan [Azairbaijan] and other areas of Amu Dariya.
We also have Burmese, Cambodian, Viet, Thai, Malay and Javanese racial groups in India.
We also have Greek, Armenian, Turk, Slavic Russian, Georgian and even Mediterraneans, Semitic, Phoenicians, Berbers and Misri elements in India.

In past thousands of years, almost all racial and ethnic groups have passed through India - for it was the prime market of the world. Almost center of commerce and trade.
All trade routes including the fabled silk route ended in India.

India was the LAST stop in the global travelers itinerary.
India received almost all races like USA has done in past a few hundred years.
The US experiment is based upon imposing essentially a European society in the Americas whereas India has had flow of visitors from all corners of the world uninterrupted.

India is truly a universal nation.
It is a country of many nations and many ethnic groups.

It is a reality and it is working.
It may be anarchic on surface, it may be a bit dustier on the first impression, it may be overstocked with people apparently yet if we remove these first thin layers on Indian body, covered like a dusty, rustic piece of cloth, we find a coherent, consistent force of life, vibrant, organized, incredibly beautiful, extra ordinary spiritual, most colorful, covering all hues, shades, tones and styles, projecting deep within, a solid, stable, peaceful, soul of India......which collectively make India - a truly amazing and great place.

India's greatness can NEVER be blemished by zillion racial divisions, artificial man made caste systems, man made flimsy belief systems, blind faiths and all sorts of manipulations and fact twisting.

India has survived and will survive.
Life will go on in India... We all will die, burn, bury or cremate and some of us may or may not come back to Human life, but India will go on, always shaping itself, always making its own styles, its own spicy and zesty living, always improvising.

You can name natives of this amazingly changing and evolving society - Hindu Muslim Sikh Catholic Protestant Jew Buddhist Jain X Y Z or any combinations of words available in human memory system...........they all have something in common.

They all are born in the same land, share same sources of life, water, air, food and other ethereal stuff.

All these divisions are man made.

if you know hindi language then see the film HUM AAPKE HAI KAUN . Then you really found about Indian culture and its people

â€Mother Of 2â€

The culture of India has been shaped by the long history of India, its unique geography and the absorption of customs, traditions and ideas from both immigrants and invaders, while preserving its ancient heritage from the Indus Valley Civilization. India's great diversity of cultural practices, languages, customs, and traditions are examples of this unique co-mingling over the past five millinnea. India is also the birth place of several religious systems such as Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, which have had a great influence not only over India but also over the rest of the world. From the twelfth century onwards, following the Islamic conquests and the subsequent European occupation, the culture of India was influenced by Persian, Arabic, Turkish and English cultures. The various religions and the multi-hued traditions of India that was created with those amalgamations have influenced South East Asia and other different parts of the world.

The great number of languages in India have historically created diverse cultures and traditions at both regional and national levels. 216 languages are spoken by a group of more than 10,000 people; however there are many others which are spoken by fewer than 10,000 people. If these languages were to be included, there are 415 living languages in India.[1] The Constitution of India has stipulated the usage of Hindi and English to be the two official languages of communication for the Union Government. Individual states' own internal communications are usually in the state's language or English. The two major linguistic families in India are those of the Indo-Aryan languages and those of the Dravidian languages, the former being largely confined to North India and the latter to South India. The next largest language family in India is the Austro-Asiatic language group, which contains the Munda languages of central and eastern India as well as the Khasian languages of northeastern India. The fourth largest language family in India is the Tibeto-Burman languages, which are themselves a subgroup of the larger Sino-Tibetan language family.

Beauty and Subbu have given you exquisite mini-essays. Hope you enjoy and get something out of it as I did. Subbu, lovely and eloquent as your piece was --you missed the races with Dravidian origins --seems a little North-centric without it. Beauty's linguistic-race categorisation was excellent. Love you both...

You must be proud of Indian origin. People here reflect the rich glories of the past, the culture, traditions and values relative to geographic locations and the numerous distinctive manners, habits and food that will always remain truly Indian. According to five thousand years of recorded history.

It's only summing up on the whole. Check out this site. Hope this helps.
