Cultural Uniqueness of India: A Glimpse
Abstract: Culture is the way of life. It refers to the rational improvement evolved out of the material and intellectual guidance acquired in the course of the ages in a nation. The Indian way of life is defined by the thoughts, feelings and philosophies prevalent in the country and its inhabitants. The Indian culture is one of the oldest and matchless. In spite of the numerous diversities, a basic unity is found in it. This culture has maintained uninterrupted stability from Vedic times to the present day in spite of innumerable obstacles. This eternal harmony and constant stability of Indian culture are derived from its profound spiritual bases. Key Words: Culture, Namaste, uttarayan, God bharna

On the 14th of August, 1947, Pakistan broke free from the erstwhile united India and that very night, India declared freedom. Amidst the euphoria and waves of support were doubts, doomsayers and opponents. This new India was not one entity but consisted of 14 British provinces and 565 princely states, with a mind boggling multiplicity of cultural identities, languages and ethnicities. Many were reminded of John Strachey's jibe that "there is not and never was an India…no India nation, no people of India." In the same vein, Seeley (1885) had commented: "India is…only a geographical expression, like Europe or Africa. It does not make the territory of a nation and a language, but the territory of many nations and languages." True, even after 75 years, India does not have a national language, food or dress. Instead, it has 24 major languages, 1600 dialects, 6 active religions and some 6400 so-called caste-groups. The Times of India on 15th August 1947.

This book deals with, the modern period of Indian history. Effort has been made in this book to lay emphasis on forces, movements and institutions rather than on military and diplomatic events and on individual administrators and political leaders. The 18th century society, economy and political system have been discussed at length in order to indicate the social situation which enabled a company of foreign merchants to conquer this vast land. The nature and character of British imperialism, its impact on the social, economic and administrative life of India, and the Indian response have also been dealt with in detail. FinalJy,the strengthening of the idea of nationhood in the country and the development of a countrywide struggle against foreign rule, culminating in the attainment of independence, is studied. An attempt has also been made to place events in their world setting.
