India, in the past, witnessed successive waves of
migration from various foreign forces like the Persians, Arabs, British
and Turks. Though, with time, all of them retreated, they left behind
their indelible mark which is still reflected in the culture and
traditions of India. From one state to another, there is so much
variation in the language, attire, beliefs and other demographic aspects
of the denizens that it is simply mind-boggling.
However, there are some very prominent features that bind all Indians
to the brand 'Hindustani'. These traditions range from the aarti done to
welcome the guests to touching the feet of the elders. The cultural
traditions of India have been passed on from generation to generation
and have become deeply rooted in the Indian way of living. In this
section, we have covered the important culture and traditions of India.
