It is the seventh largest city in India. As a leader in the development of computer software, Bangalore has become one of the most important economic centers in Asia. Also, because of its agreeable climate and multicultural environment, many Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) are headquartered here. Faculty invited from Mysore University participate in the teaching of seminars and lead discussions on development priorities, ideologies, and the underlying conceptual frameworks within which these debates arise. The links and gaps between the issues of culture and development are identified and put into context, especially through the lens of national culture. In a society as heterogeneous and complex as India's, where a thousand languages and dialects and regional and caste affiliations exist, the exploration of these topics become even more challenging and fascinating.

Country Info India Introduction India General Data India Maps India Culture ... India Time and Date India Culture Back to Top For almost all Indians the family is the most important social unit. There is a strong preference for extended families, consisting of two or more married couples (often of more than a single generation), who share finances and a common kitchen. Marriage is virtually universal, and divorce rare. Almost all marriages are arranged by family elders on the basis of caste, degree of consanguinity, economic status, education (if any), and astrology. Brides traditionally move to their husband's village. Among the elite, however, nonarranged love marriages are increasingly common. there is a clear order of social precedence and influence based on gender, age, and, in the case of a woman, the number of her male children. The senior male typically is the recognized family head, and his wife is the person who regulates the tasks assigned to female family members. Males enjoy higher status than females; boys are often pampered while girls are relatively neglected. This is reflected in significantly different rates of mortality and morbidity between the sexes, allegedly (though reliable statistics are lacking) in occasional female infanticide, and increasingly in the abortion of females following prenatal gender testing. This pattern of preference is largely connected to the institution of dowry, since the family's obligation to provide a suitable dowry to the bride's new family represents a major financial liability. Traditionally, women were expected to treat their husbands as if they were gods, and obedience of wives to husbands remains a strong social norm.

The first museum to be established was the Indian Museum in Kolkata, which beside the wonderful medieval Hindu sculptures, also has a great collection of early Buddhist art. Today there are well over 500 different kinds of museums in India and though all of them have a special charm to them, the ones in places like

This is not the India of the Indians in the diaspora, whose idea of their homeland remains bound to ossified conceptions of Indian religion, tradition, and cultural practices. It is also in the diaspora that new art and cultural forms are emerging, and the relation between India and its diasporic offsprings may yet alter our understanding of Indian civilization.

Great Personalities RAJAJI A Child of India's Culture and a World Citizen Rajaji was a child of Indian culture. At the same time he saw all mankind as one family. It seemed to him that selfishness and foolish notions of prestige blinded the powerful nations of the world. They were madly making most modernized weapons of mass destruction. They would plunge themselves and the whole of humanity in misery. Even in extreme old age, Rajaji tried to prevent this. Rajaji was grieved that freedom did not bring happiness and joy to the people of India; he was unhappy that the greed for money and power was ruining national life. He was the center of a hundred controversies. Different people may find this or that view of Rajaji unacceptable. But there can be no difference of opinion that Rajaji was the most brilliant leader of India in the twentieth century, and one who spoke fearlessly for the weal of India and the World.

THE HIMALAYAN CRUCIBLE Of India’s Culture BENOY K BEHL Kashmir Shaivism Massive Shiva head in the Archeological Museum in Srinagar. This 8 th century sculpture from Gupkar in Kashmir is one of the finest examples of Hindu sculptural art A continuous thread of philosophy runs through the past few millenniums of Kashmir’s history. This is the appreciation of the beauty of the Lord, as manifested in the majesty and beauty of the natural world. Shiva and Shakti have been worshipped here in Kashmir and this Kashmiri Shaivism has been one of the fundamental and significant branches of Hindu religion and philosophy. Shakti is the manifestation of Shiva as the world around us. It is obvious that the natural beauty of Kashmir’s landscape has influenced the development of this significant philosophy. Abhinav Gupta and other Hindu philosophers have written noteworthy and important works on the philosophy of Aesthetics, which is integral to Kashmir Shaivism.
