Hi! Friends,
It’s been few months since I had last written for this great Country due to busy schedules.
Today, I want to address you with the Great Culture and Traditions of our
country.
India with different religions, dances, food, music and
architecture stand united and a secular nation. Being a majority of Hindus in
the country, there are 3, 00,000 active mosques in India more than in any
country including Muslim dominated countries. Jews and Christians have lived continuously
in India since 200 B.C and 52 A.D.
The oldest European church and synagogue in India are in the city
of Cochin, built in 1503 and 1568 respectively.
It is interesting
to know that when many cultures were only nomadic forests dwellers over 5000
years ago, Indians Established harappan culture in sindhu ('Sindhu', named
by Aryan worshipers) valley (Indus Valley Civilization).
The four religions
born in India are followed by 25% of world's population i.e.,
Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
Indian dancing
styles are based on the Tandava like the
Urdhra Tandava
, Sandhya Tandava, etc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandava. Indian classical dance also found its way outside India especially to the countries of South East Asia. The dance styles of Thailand, Indonesia, and Burma are heavily borrowed from the Indian classical dance traditions.
