What greatness is there in our Indian culture?
What greatness is there in our Indian culture?
From the very early days,it was precepts like"Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The whole world is one family),"Loka samastha sukhino bhavanthu" (May the entire world be happy)and "Sarve Jana sukhino bhavanthu" (May all people be happy) have been the guiding principles of Indian culture and Indian world vision.
In my opinion, the greatness of Indian culture lies in our universal vision and an empathy towards entire humanity.
It is another matter that the same culture has kept large swathes of population under inhuman conditions in the name of caste and gender bias, or that the neo-Nationalists of today invoke the same ancient Indian culture to divide people into good and evil or us versus them. I think this should not block or blur our own vision of this bedrock of Indian culture from ancient times.
我们的印度文化有什么伟大之处？
从很早的时候起，像“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”（天下一家）、“Loka samastha sukhino bhavanthu”（愿整个世界幸福）和“Sarve Jana sukhino Bhavantu”（愿所有人幸福）这样的戒律就一直是印度文化和印度世界观的指导原则。
在我看来，印度文化的伟大之处在于我们的普遍愿景和对全人类的同理心。
另一个问题是，同样的文化以种姓和性别偏见的名义将大量人口置于不人道的条件下，或者今天的新民族主义者援引同样的古印度文化将人们划分为善与恶或我们与他们。我认为这不应该阻碍或模糊我们对古代印度文化基石的看法。

Pallavi Chalasani
1. Family bonding. I love the fact that I can always fall back to my parents, my sister, my sister's husband, his parents, my number of aunts, uncles, grandparents. Cousins who are my best friends. It's amazing. I never feel lonely though I live alone. We are taught to respect elders and love those younger to us. In a modern society, we can have open and honest discussions and we still live together by choice. In a way this gave way to love being the bonding factor rather than respect or fear. Summer holidays meant going to grandparents house, pranks were played with and on cousins and siblings. Aunts and uncles are like mom and dad. You have this whole force behind you.
2. Festivals: Every festival no matter the religion has amazing back stories and rituals. You wake up early, wear new clothes, clean the whole house, help elders, be a part of something so simple yet so beautiful. It teaches you team work when your dad, sister and you decorate the whole house with diyas for Diwali. Then we have some amazing food, learn about why we celebrate those festivals. I personally am not so religiously inclined, but I'm love the festivals. The pandals during ganapathi puja, diyas during Diwali, going to the mosque to eat yummy Haleem, kheer, kebabs during Ramzaan, the school Christmas plays. As a kid I didn't care which religion I had to follow, I just enjoyed everything. That's what I was taught and I still follow it today.
3. Cuisine: Oh My God!! I don't even know where to start. I don't think I've eaten half the dishes that are native to my own state Andhra Pradesh. The mouth watering mango pickle, rasam, fish from vizag, pickle, I could go on and on.
4. Clothes: oh so colorful!! Sarees, salwars, sherwanis and the jewelry. Every state has its own style of wearing traditional clothes and they look so beautiful.
India is a land of diversity. If used as a strength it could be a force to reckon.
1.家庭纽带。我喜欢这样一个事实，我总是可以依靠我的父母，我的姐姐，我姐姐的丈夫，他的父母，我的阿姨，叔叔，祖父母。表兄弟是我最好的朋友，太神奇了。虽然我一个人住，但我从不感到孤独。我们被教导尊老爱幼。在现代社会，我们可以进行公开和诚实的讨论，我们仍然可以选择住在一起。在某种程度上，这条纽带是爱，而不是尊重或恐惧。暑假意味着要去爷爷奶奶家，和表兄弟和兄弟姐妹一起搞恶作剧。叔叔阿姨就像爸爸妈妈，在你身后支撑着你。
2.节日：无论信仰什么宗教，每个节日都有令人惊叹的背景故事和仪式。你得早醒，穿上新衣服，打扫整个房子，帮助长辈，干一部活，一切如此美丽和简单。当你的爸爸、姐姐和你为排灯节用油灯装饰整个房子时，它会教你团队合作。然后我们有一些令人惊叹的食物，能了解我们为什么庆祝这些节日。我个人没有宗教倾向，但我喜欢节日。ganapathi puja节日期间的临时棚舍，排灯节期间的油灯，在斋戒节期间，去清真寺吃美味的哈利姆、基尔和烤腌羊肉串，看学校的圣诞剧。作为一个孩子，我不在乎我必须信奉哪种宗教，我只是享受一切。这就是我所学到的，今天我仍然遵循它。
3.烹饪：我的天啊!我都不知道从何说起。我想我还没吃过我家乡安得拉邦一半的菜。令人垂涎欲滴的芒果泡菜、 香料汤、威扎吉的鱼、泡菜，我可以一直吃下去。
4.衣服：哦，太绚烂了！莎丽，宽松裤，高领长外套和珠宝。每个邦都有自己的传统服装风格，它们看起来很漂亮。
印度是一个多样化的国家。如果用它作为一种力量，它可能是一种值得思考的力量。

What greatness is there in our Indian culture?
I won't be wrong if I refer india as a Pandora box. It withholds so many mysteries and never fails to awestruck you. You can love India or hate India but one simply cannot ignore India. Indian culture is among the world's oldest culture. And it keep attracting peoples and seekers all over the world to complete there spiritual quest. What makes Indian culture unique and great? Due to our thousands of years old civilization and tradition we Indians till today;
“Namaste” with our hands folded and head tilted down because we believe God resides in every human being and one must respect that person.
2. We speak so many dialects and look so different from each other, yet we managed to live peacefully
3. India is the only secular country with massive 1.3 billion people practising there faith over hundreds of year and yet no one bothers each other. India is the only country that is home to almost all the religions of the world. You name name it,we have it.
4. We still prefer to eat with hand while most of the countries have switched over to spoons and fork. Because we believe the food taste best when eaten with hands and also give the sense of satisfaction and full. Many people will find it gross to eat with hands,but trust me it gives better sense of judgement about the food when your are feeling the temperature, texture and consistency with your bare hands.
我们的印度文化有什么伟大之处？
如果我把印度称为潘多拉盒子，我不会错。它隐藏了非常多的奥秘，总是让你敬畏。你可以爱印度，也可以恨印度，但不能忽视印度。印度文化是世界上最古老的文化之一。它不断吸引着世界各地的人们和寻求者来完成他们的精神追求。是什么使印度文化独特而伟大？因为我们至今已经拥有几千年的文明和传统；
低下头行“合十礼”，因为我们相信上帝存在于每个人身上，每个人都必须尊重上帝。
我们会说很多方言，看起来也很不一样，但我们设法和平地生活着。
印度是唯一的世俗国家，拥有13亿人口，数百年来一直信仰宗教，但没有人互相打扰。印度是唯一一个拥有世界上几乎所有宗教的国家。只要你能说出来，我们就有。
我们仍然更喜欢用手抓饭，而大多数国家已经改用勺子和叉子。因为我们相信用手吃饭味道最好，也会给人一种满足感和饱腹感。很多人会觉得用手抓饭很恶心，但相信我，当你徒手感受食物的温度、质地和稠度时，它会让你对食物有更好的判断感。

5. We respect our elders and parents by touching there feets because we believe they are our first teacher and are our God as they are the one who have brought us on this planet,gave us shelter, fed us food and made us competent in the race for survival.
6. We still have the concept of living with our parents and joint family. We believe that, once we are competent enough, it's our responsibility to take care of our parents and elder ones who supported us while we were small. Also living in a joint family keeps your family tradition alive, allows your children to inherit there culture and roots, learn family value and avoids them from getting bad influences. We can always look upon them when we are down and can celebrate our life with them.
7. We believe in “Atithi devo bhava”. Which means, we believe guests are form of God. The reason behind this is that service to humans is service to god. They could have gone to anywhere else,but chose to come to you with the expectation that you will treat them well. Also that will fetch you Punya (holy reward). I must request you all to please come once to India and experience our Indian hospitality.
8. Our diffrent take on hygiene and cleanliness is something that is interesting. Hold on your horses, before jumping on and commenting about the filthy streets and garbage, I would like to tell you that we still are a poor nation with massive population. But soon we will tackle that too. But for now, let me enlighten you with the fact that we take off our footwear while going visiting someones house or while we are at our own houses as we Indian have our temple and quran inside and it will be disrespectful. Also we can keep away dirt and filth and germs outside. Most of us walk bare feet inside the house. And also we prefer water rather than a toilet paper to clean ourselves as it is best in terms of cleanliness and hygiene point of view.
我们通过触摸长辈和父母的脚来尊重他们，因为我们相信他们是我们的启蒙老师，是我们的上帝，因为他们把我们带到这个星球上，给我们住所，给我们食物，让我们在生存中具备竞争的能力。
我们仍然有和父母住在一起和数代同堂生活的观念。我们相信，一旦我们有足够的能力，我们就有责任照顾我们的父母和在我们小时候支持我们的长辈。此外，生活在一个联合家庭中可以保持你的家庭传统，让你的孩子继承那里的文化和根源，学习家庭价值观，避免他们受到不良影响。当我们情绪低落时，我们总是可以看着他们，可以和他们一起庆祝我们的生活。
我们信奉“客人至上”。也就是说，我们认为客人是上帝的化身。这背后的原因是，服务客人就是服务上帝。他们本可以去其他地方，但他们选择来找你，希望你能对他们好。这也会给你带来Punya（神圣的奖励）。我必须请求大家来印度一次，在印度体验我们的“热情好客”。
我们对卫生和清洁的不同看法很有趣。别急，在评论肮脏的街道和垃圾之前，我想告诉你，我们仍然是一个人口众多的贫穷国家。但我们也会很快解决这个问题的。现在，让我告诉你一个事实，我们去拜访别人家或者在自己家里的时候脱鞋，因为我们印度人家里有做礼拜和存放《可兰经》的场所，不脱鞋是不尊重的做法。我们脱鞋还可以把脏东西和细菌挡在外面。我们大多数人光着脚在屋里走。此外，我们更喜欢用水而不是卫生纸来清洁自己，因为从清洁和卫生的角度来看，这是最好的方式。

What makes Indian culture amazing?
Unity in Diversity
The single most important thing that distinguishes India from almost any other country is her richness of diversity. If you try to see the Indian culture as just one monolithic culture, then you fail to appreciate the complex diversity of cultures and people that reside here.
People belonging to a zillion religions, sub-religions, castes and sub-castes stay here harmoniously with each other. Historically, almost every other major empire and its ruler had tried to invade and conquer India, but instead got lost in this rich unified cultural heritage and became a part of this magical soil. From Alexander to Mongols (Mughals) and from British to Portuguese, the same story had been repeated throughout history.
Geographically, India cannot be compared to any single country, but a large continent such as Europe or America. Each state such as Maharashtra, Gujarat,etc. corresponded to one or more separate kingdoms during the medi times such as Vidarbha, Kalinga, Magadha, etc. Each of these states today has a separate culture and language. The Gujaratis celebrate Vikram Samvat as the New Year during the time of Diwali, whereas the Marathis celebrate Gudi Padwa. The North Indians like to play with colors during Holi, whereas the South Indian Keralites enjoy the boat race during the time of Onam. It was the British invasion that made us see this unity in diversity once again, and the resulting freedom movement that ultimately led to the creation of the Indian Republic.
Coming back to your question, its amazing how in a massive country of 29 states and 7 unx territories, everyone coexists peacefully and harmoniously with a sense of national unity and belonging! Nowhere in the world are you going to get such an example. The 50 states of US aren’t so diverse if you look at their cultures and languages. Nor is China that boasts of being the largest country population wise is as diverse when you look at its culture.
是什么让印度文化令人惊叹？
多样性中的统一
印度与几乎任何其他国家的区别在于其丰富的多样性。如果你试图将印度文化视为一种单一的文化，那么你就无法欣赏这里文化和人民的复杂多样性。
无数宗教、亚宗教、种姓和亚种姓的人们在这里和谐相处。历史上，几乎所有其他主要帝国及其统治者都曾试图入侵和征服印度，但却迷失在这片丰富的统一文化遗产中，成为这片神奇土壤的一部分。从亚历山大到蒙古人（莫卧儿人），从英国人到葡萄牙人，在整个历史上都在重复同样的故事。
从地理位置上讲，任何一个国家不能与印度相比，印度是一个像欧洲或美国这样的大的大陆。每个邦，如马哈拉施特拉邦、古吉拉特邦等，在中世纪都对应着一个或多个独立的王国，如维达尔巴、陵伽国、摩揭陀国等。如今，每一个邦都有各自的文化和语言。古吉拉特邦人在排灯节期间庆祝Vikram Samvat历为新年，而马拉人则庆祝古迪帕德瓦节(Gudi Padwa)；北方的印度人喜欢在胡里节期间玩色彩游戏，而南印度喀拉拉邦人喜欢在欧南节期间玩划船比赛。正是英国的入侵让我们再次看到了多样性中的统一，以及由此产生的自由运动最终导致了印度共和国的成立。
回到你的问题，令人惊讶的是，在一个由29个邦和7个联邦领土组成的庞大国家里，每个人都带着民族团结和归属感和平和谐地共处!世界上任何地方都不会有这样的例子。如果你看看美国50个州的文化和语言，它们就不那么多样化了。中国号称是世界上人口最多的国家，但当你审视它的文化时，你会发现它并不多样化。

What greatness is there in our Indian culture?
Indian culture is very diverse. The culture of India refers collectively to the thousands of distinct and unique cultures of all religions and communities present in India. India's languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food, and customs differs from place to place within the country.
There are many unique things about Indian culture. I will list few of them here..
The Namaste
The namaste is one of the most popular Indian customs. The Namaste, or ‘namaskar’, or ‘namaskaara’ is one of the five forms of traditional greetings mentioned in the ancient Hindu scxtures, the Vedas. It literally translates to “I bow to you”, and greeting one another with it is a way of saying “May our minds meet”, indicated by the folded palms placed before the chest. The word ‘namaha’ can also be translated as ‘na ma’ (not mine), to signify the reductions of one’s ego in the presence of the other.
我们的印度文化有什么伟大之处？
印度文化非常多元。印度文化是指印度所有宗教和社区的数千种独特文化。印度的语言、宗教、舞蹈、音乐、建筑、食物和习俗因地而异。
印度文化有许多独特之处。我将在这里列出其中的几个。
(印度)合十礼
合十礼是印度最受欢迎的风俗之一。Namaste，或称“namaskar”或“namaskaara”是古代印度教经典吠陀中提到的五种传统问候形式之一。它的字面意思是“我向你鞠躬”，用它互相问候是一种表达“愿我们的思想相遇”的方式，用放在胸前的折叠手掌来表示。“namaha”一词也可以翻译为“na ma”（无我），表示一个人在另一个人面前减少自我。

It literally translates to “I bow to you”, and greeting one another with it is a way of saying “May our minds meet”, indicated by the folded palms placed before the chest. The word ‘namaha’ can also be translated as ‘na ma’ (not mine), to signify the reductions of one’s ego in the presence of the other.
我们的印度文化有什么伟大之处？
印度文化非常多元。印度文化是指印度所有宗教和社区的数千种独特文化。印度的语言、宗教、舞蹈、音乐、建筑、食物和习俗因地而异。
印度文化有许多独特之处。我将在这里列出其中的几个。
(印度)合十礼
合十礼是印度最受欢迎的风俗之一。Namaste，或称“namaskar”或“namaskaara”是古代印度教经典吠陀中提到的五种传统问候形式之一。它的字面意思是“我向你鞠躬”，用它互相问候是一种表达“愿我们的思想相遇”的方式，用放在胸前的折叠手掌来表示。“namaha”一词也可以翻译为“na ma”（无我），表示一个人在另一个人面前减少自我。
2. Festive Season
India also sees a large number of festivals, mainly because of the prence of diverse religions and groups.
3. Joint Families
Also, in India, there exists the concept of a joint family, wherein the entire family (parents, wife, children and in some cases relatives) all live together. This is mostly because of the cohesive nature of the Indian society, and also reportedly helps in handling pressure and stress.
4. The Science Behind Temples
Most temples are located along magnetic wave lines of the earth, which help in maximizing the available positive energy. The copper plate (called Garbhagriha or Moolasthan) buried under the main idol absorbs and resonates this energy to its surroundings. Going to the temple often helps in having a positive mind and garnering positive energies, which in turn lead to healthier functioning.
It is also a practice to take off footwear before entering places of worship because they would bring in the dirt to an otherwise cleansed and sanctified environment.
5. Atithi Devo Bhavah
In India, the saying “Atithi Devo Bhavah” is also integral. It means “the guest is equivalent to god”. It is a Sanskrit verse taken from the Hindu scxtures which later became a part of the “Code of conduct” for Hindu society, since the guest has always been of supreme importance in the culture.
6. Indian Ethnic Wear
Indian women are often seen sporting ‘saris’. The sari is a single cloth and needs no stitching; it is easy to make and comfortable to wear, and also adheres to religious etiquette. It initially started out as a Hindu tradition but has very elegantly spread across all religions.
2.节日
印度也有大量的节日，主要是因为不同宗教和群体的盛行。
3.联合家庭（五代同堂）
此外，在印度，存在着联合家庭的概念，即整个家庭（父母、妻子、孩子，在某些情况下还有亲属）都住在一起。这主要是因为印度社会的凝聚力，据报道也有助于排解压力。
4.寺庙背后的科学
大多数寺庙都位于地球的磁波线上，这有助于最大限度地利用可用的正能量。埋在主要的圣像下面的铜板（称为Garbhagriha或Moolasthan）吸收了这种能量并与周围环境产生共鸣。去寺庙通常有助于拥有积极的心态和获得积极的能量，这反过来又会带来更健康的机能。
在进入礼拜场所之前脱鞋也是一种惯例，因为穿鞋会把泥土带到一个干净和神圣的环境中。
5.客人至上
在印度，“Atithi Devo Bhavah”这句话也是不可或缺的。意思是“客人至上”。这是一首取自印度教经文的梵语诗歌，后来成为印度教社会“行为准则”的一部分，因为客人在文化中一直具有至高无上的重要性。
6.印度民族服饰
印度妇女经常穿着“纱丽”。纱丽是一块布，不需要缝合；它制作简单，穿着舒适，还遵守宗教礼仪。它最初是一种印度教传统，但已经优雅地传播到所有宗教。
