We are celebrating 73rd Independence Day this year. After completing so many years of independence, still, many of us don’t know more about our Indian culture. The reason being is that we are more inclined towards western culture. Well, development is important but forgetting our roots is bad.
Let’s remind again if many of you have forgotten that India has the second most powerful army forces in the world. The numeral Zero is also the contribution of our ancestors and we all know the importance of zero very well. There are 22 official languages which are written in 13 different scripts and over 720 dialects are spoken nationwide. All these are just the major one and below we have mentioned all the top diversities for which we are known worldwide.
- Geographical Diversity- The geographical factors has a vital role in defining our culture and its diversity. The chain of lofty mountains, dozen of rivers and fertile plains gives Indian map the unique appearance in the world map. We have both the cold, warm and moderate climatic states like Kashmir for Himalaya Mountains, Rajasthan for deserts and not but the least India’s capital Delhi where we experience cold winters and hot summers. We Indians are surrounded in all the four directions where some are in the midst of snowy mountains and some in the plain regions.
- Religion Diversity- One thing on which we always feel proud i.e. religion diversity. In the same country, we burn crackers on Diwali, hug each and say Eid Mubarak on Eid and do the bhangra on Lohri. There is a strong unity in this diversity. One of our top scientist and former president of the country Abdul Kalam Azad had shown the nation new path and achieved great heights. The important religions like Hinduism, Jainism, Islam, Sikh and Christianity have blossomed on the laps of Bharat Mata.
- Social Diversity- In the Indian habitat, there are diverse cultures. In every state, we found different customs and ritual practices. They have different festivals which have their ritual practices.
- Language Diversity- As it’s mentioned in the beginning too, that there are 22 different official languages spoken in the whole country. In it, we have 720 dialects which are found different in every city. If we name these languages then they are Odia, Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, Kashmiri and even much more.
