India can be said to be a country of countries; its diversity of
languages, religions, cultures, and traditions have no parallel example
anywhere in the world.
Few countries in the world have such an ancient and diverse culture as India's.
Stretching back in an unbroken sweep over 5000 years, India's culture has been
enriched by successive waves of migration which were absorbed into the Indian
way of life.It is this variety which is a special hallmark of India. Its
physical, religious and racial variety is as immense as its linguistic
diversity. Underneath this diversity lies the continuity of Indian civilization
and social structure from the very earliest times until the present day. Modern
India presents a picture of unity in diversity to which history provides no
parallel. Here is a catalogue of everything Indian. Indian religions,
festivals, rituals, artifacts, monuments, costumes, music and dance, language
and literature. Come and discover a little more of India's culture by selecting
