Indian Culture

Indian culture seems to have a combination of everything, from the elegant silk down to the curry used in their food India seems to find a way to keep their culture alive through traditional arts. I just read a article off of a website that explained the multiple different art forms that Indians have. The first thing that was expressed about India was how the country originally branched off of 15 different languages from up to five thousand years ago. The second Indian cultural trend was their clothing. The national dress for woman is the saree which is 6 feet of unstitched cloth that draped over a woman’s body to look elegant. The men are more contemporary wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Food seems to be the big picture in India. Indians have been cooking with some of the same spices for thousands of years, most commonly curry which is a spice that comes in many different variations.
