Indian Culture Beginnings

 

How was Indian Culture born?

What is Indian culture? Being an Indian and not able to answer this shows that people are confused with the changing characteristic of the culture in India. Why does this happen?

Our ancestors had developed the Indian culture and it is our duty to maintain it and pass on to the next generation. Even now many foreigners are amazed with the culture followed in India. The unity among the people and their will to perform one action to achieve one goal is what helps in maintaining the Indian culture stable. When the will to work together is low among the people obviously the culture starts fading.

When people stops tackling the problems that are happening in the country can lead to destruction of the culture. This is what the India is facing today. When Hindus and Muslims have two different opinions and are inspired by different heroes how one can expect India to have one single goal.

The people of India belong to different tribes and sects from Negros who came from Africa to Aryan, and the Mongolians better known as Dravidians. People used different languages that made their identifications. Aryans were believed to enter India before 2000 B.C. and some of them migrated to other parts of the globe. However, they originally belong to India.

Later there was a war between the Aryans and the Dravidians which led to the division of the India into two major parts known as the North and the South India. Even if some were to argue that Aryans do not originally come from India, the Indian culture has much to do with the combination of Aryan Dravidian cultures.

Aryans had major role in bringing up the Indian culture. It started in the Vedic Ashrams and their central idea in developing the culture was Rita, Yajna, Kula and Tapas. Kula which means family is one important aspect of India. Father plays the role of the Head of the family who works hard and look after his family with love and affection. Mother also has an important role in taking care of her husband and their children with intense care though she is dominated by her husband like it is any part of the world.

This binding of the family is what makes Indian culture different from other Western culture. The unity and the bonding of the husband and wife in India is the proof that the rate of divorce is low in this country than other countries.

Yagna or Tapas is the sacrifice practiced by the Indians which helped them to have strong faith and relation with the gods. The sacrifice of ego, hatred, anger, and greed help the people in India to maintain spiritual relation with god and their fellow men and hence they get desired results.

The will to perform yagna was developed by Rita, the Creator and the Eternal Law. It is believed that when a person goes up to a high level of following Rita can achieve immortal life. However, one should be truthful when doing this to achieve the utmost blessings from God and this helps the person to act positively.

Rita is represented by God and those who follow the cosmic order and law will be able to have spiritual life. The divine knowledge about the god and to live based on Rita are taught by the Rishis in the ashrams. People who learn from them understand the concept of Dharma.

People should follow it and live accordingly to develop and build the Indian culture and pass it on to the next generation and thus maintain the Indian culture intact for millions of years more.
