culture remains an intrinsic part of human existence,.according to James Taylor we are culturally defined and without culture we feels rootless ,liable to be uprooted .
indian cuture is unique for it has sustained its basic elements by assimilating them with existing time and space.
Uniqueness comes from-
1.Way of life=major cultural elements were not rigid and were flexible enough to stay relevant as per its requirement
2.Asian values=Lee kwan yew describes asian values as value of obedience culture and community life.This sort of life is also evident in our culture as well.it makes us easier to follow and relate with our ancient culture and tradition
3.Another unique aspect of indian culture is that it appeals easily to common sense and is not perceived as a threat to non-followers.eg yogic tradition is currently followed by major religion around the globe
4.Indian constitution itself is a harbinger of the indic way of life.various part of DPSP ,FR's promotes what our tradition teaches us,which further has sustained our cultural beliefs.
5.Assimilation=various aspect of Indian system have been incorporated from other culture .indian architecture, languages and modern dressing approach is not overwhelmed by other cultures rather is incorporated in a unique way.
Finally, Indian culture has followed the Gandhian approach of letting the wind of a thousand culture blow above our home but not letting them uproot our own ideas.
Please suggest some high yielding material for world history, that area is quite messed up for me.
