भारतीय संस्कृति
From विकिपीडिया
भारत की सांस्कृतिक धरोहर बहुत सम्पन्न है । यहां की संस्कृति अनोखी है, और वर्षों से इसके कई अवयव अबतक अक्षुण्ण हैं । आक्रमणकारियों तथा प्रवासियों से विभिन्न चीजों को समेटकर यह एक मिश्रित संस्कृति बन गई है । आधुनिक भारत का समाज, भाषाएं, रीति-रिवाज इत्यादि इसका प्रमाण हैं ।India has a rich and unique cultural heritage, and has managed to preserve its established traditions throughout history. It has always absorbed customs, traditions and ideas from both invaders and immigrants. Many cultural practices, languages, customs and even monuments are examples of this co-mingling over centuries. Famous monuments such as the Taj Mahal and other examples of Islamic-inspired architecture have been inherited from the Mughal dynasty, perhaps India's most significant. These are the result of a syncretic tradition that combined elements from all parts of the country.
भारतीय समाज बहुधर्मिक, बहुभाषी तथा मिश्र-सांस्कृतिक है ।Indian society is largely pluralist, multilingual and multicultural. Religious practices of various faiths are an integral part of everyday life in society. Education is highly regarded by members of every socio-economic stratum. Traditional Indian family values are highly respected and considered sacred, although urban families have grown into a nuclear family system, owing to the socio-economic constraints imposed by the traditional joint family system.
