India’s civilization is more than five thousand years old. It has multiple cultural origins. The Indus Valley Civilization was the oldest on this land. India is a house of many cultures, religions, traditions and cultures. We see many variations in the food habits, dress habits, manners and customs. Each and every region gives a different picture of life style. In the ancient times two different tribes called the Aryans and the Dravidians were identified here. Today people of different faiths like the Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and Parsis live here together. There are thousands of castes and sub-castes. There are 18 languages and more than 6000 dialects. In spite of these differences, the people here are one. The binding factor is the Indian sentiment. For everyone, Kashmir is the jewel of India. A Bengali poem sung by the whole nation as the National Anthem. The Ganga and the Godavari are worshipped as goddesses, the cow is regarded as a sacred creature, Banaras is a holy place. One slogan ‘Vande Maataram’ united this nation during the freedom struggle. Even today, one Kargil continues to keep the unity of the nation. This unity in diversity is the greatest strength of India.
