Introduction
Humans are proud of their motherland. India is our motherland. Naturally, we pride ourselves on being Indians and nurturing respect for it in our hearts and soul. The feeling of being its citizens is great as its cultural tradition is unique in the world. The depth of our emotion betrays our great patriotism.
Indians are honoured and given dignity by the world because of its hoary cultural traditions which are matchless. The amplitude of our emotion betrays the immenseness of our patriotism in times of safety India. The whole Indians always forget all their existing misunderstandings, problems and shortcomings, and tie themselves by the bond of a family and it becomes visible to the Indians and their supreme strength.
The Pride of Unity and Power
Our distinct way of living differentiates us from the rest of the world. The largest democracy of the world gives us lots of comforts. It has tremendously great secrets behind all these—its power as well as its unity.
Unity
The special characteristic of our land is its unity in diversity. The diversities are geographical as well as cultural, religious, on castes, traditional etc. even of the fundamental utilities of life such as food, clothing and dialects. Irrespective of all these diversities, people enjoy the equal status in respect of their own social and economic background. These diversities astoundingly get united and make the world wonder and always make them think discover the secret behind our unity. During national crisis our patriotism too impress the world.
Democratic Background
India is a large democracy. To a democratic government, it is a challenge in itself to execute successfully by keeping a healthy balance in the demands of so many varieties of people. The Indian democratic govt. overcome these difficulties and come forward to satisfy the population united under all the sects and sub-sects as well as provide them equal status and importance.
Secularism
This feature too is visible in the lives and culture of Indians. Hardly do few nations pay equal importance to all the religious and ethnic groups in their lands. Every religion is freely performing their religious rituals simultaneously conveying respect to all other religions. They are surprising secularity is incredible, they seem as they are children of the same mother, though in reality they belong to diverse religious and ethnic groups and follow their own rules and principles
Joint Family
The joint family culture is the unique social and cultural emblem of India. We keep strong family relationships so we are happy and feel the bond of it greatly. It also helps us forget our religious narrowness. Love, affection and care are prime importance. The whole family lives together at a place where the kids are brought up and taken care of by the elders. Here the flavour of love, respect, unity and integrity is predominantly practised. So, our family becomes the first school for our children where they learn developing their moral values. The unity incorporates the feeling of oneness.
Environment
The beauty of environment in India is the by-product of the freedom and liberty in every sphere of life. We breathe the fresh aroma of the air without any restrictions. Every citizen enjoys freedom in all considerable aspects to the extent that it does not hurt others in any way. Indians live after their choice and build their own lifestyle after their free choice.
Emotions
India, the land of emotions, is tied together by means of this very invisible power. It pulls us to one place though we live in different parts of the world. Our family, relatives and friends play significant roles in our lives. Our younger generation is struggling in many parts of the world for providing themselves good living for their family.
Lifestyle
Indians also have freedom to live the life according to their own choice. But the Indian lifestyle is ‘simple living and high thinking’. This too is quite awesome and appreciating. Our respect for the women as well as for the physical relationship makes our land unique and precious. The special framework and dignified outlook of the Indian women is rare in the world. Our clothing betrays our traditions diverse cultural background. Every style of cloths that we wear has its specific significance. Be it a saree or suit for the females, the kurta-pyjama or dhoti for the males, the way of wearing the dress imparts the dignity and respect among the people around us.
Media: Newspapers and News Channels
India has maximum number of newspapers in different dialects. In recent times, the news channels too have succeeded in reaching this goal, these serve in many regional languages in addition to the major languages. The maximum number of agencies are rushing and pushing us ahead with their provisions to the necessary details to the other parts of the world.
The Decline of Our Culture
We have some other sources to feel proud of, but the advancement of science and technology is gradually transforming the reality into a different sphere. As a consequence, our culture is on decline. Globalisation has paved ways to the intermixing of the cultures and westernisation especially, the younger generation is greatly influenced. Westernisation is marring our culture. Fooding and clothing are on the way to rapid change. All these are the consequences of globalisation.
Conclusion
Precisely, India can be called a heaven in respect to its diverse natural as well as cultural beauties with its rare fragrance of nature. The different colours of the Indian culture give unique pleasure making one forgetting anything and everything. But the recent situation tells the tale of degradation of all these. It is high time Indians needed to discover the evils and set straight to reform and redress the culture as well as its economy in order to get united and pledge to save our motherland from the impending danger
