Ethnicity of India
With a population of more than 1,027 million as accounted by the March 1, 2001 population census, India is a colourful canvas portraying a unique assimilation of ethnic groups displaying varied cultures and religions. In fact, this uniqueness in the ethnicity of the country is the factor that makes it different from other nations. Moreover, the vastness of India's nationalism, accounting to a plethora of cultural extravaganza, religions, etc. is the reason that the country is seen more as a seat for a major world civilization than a mere nation-state.
Since ancient times, the spiritual land of India has displayed varied hues of culture, religion, race, language, and so on. This variety in race, culture, religion, etc. accounts for the existence of different ethnic groups who, although, live within the sanctums of one single nation, profess different social habits and characteristics. Regional territories in India play an important role in differentiating these ethnic groups, with their own social and cultural identities. The religions that are prevalent in the country are Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism, with the freedom for citizens to practice any religion they want to. With the governance of 35 different states and union territories in the country, there has originated a sense of regionalism amongst the various parts, with different states displaying different cultures, which although eventually fuse through a common bond to showcase a national cultural identity. The Constitution of India has recognised 22 different languages that are prevalent in the country, out of which, Hindi is the official language and is spoken in most of the urban cities of India. Other than these 22 languages, there are hundreds of dialects that add to the multilingual nature of the country.

‘Unique’ India is ‘shining’
Do you know any country where a Hindu is prime minister, a Muslim is president and a Christian is defence minister?
“Yes, India is the only country in the world where a Hindu prime minister (A.B. Vajpayee), a Muslim president (Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam) and a Christian Defence Minister (George Fernandes) are running the affairs of the nation with a unity of purpose,” said Dr Gopalakrishnan, adding: “India gave the message of unity in diversity to the world... The Vedic message given by India is still spreading the message of love, help, cooperation, rational thinking, scientific vision, patriotic mission, rational spirituality ...”

One is family system, second love for each other, third marriage system, fourth concern for others, most important thing is we can meet any body at anytime and others can meet us at any time without any appointment, one more thing is parent hood. Here in India children are children for mother no matter how old they are. Last thing I know is India is spiritual country.

people - they're friendly in direction of foreigners, and has a craze for something distant places - extra effective than everywhere interior the international. they desire "distant places products" extra effective than their very own, and it rather is a "status" to be a "distant places return". i come across it low-fee, yet you will possibly be able to locate it relaxing, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it is actual one among the main "unique" features in indians. And there are particular products issues approximately them, too , they have a reliable bonding in direction of kinfolk, and that they do no longer stress out their babies whilst they attain majority - that's a prepare between westerners and maximum animals. They stand in help of their kinfolk, and it is an obligation of the son to help their parents in previous age- which i'm extremely happy with.
