What do you know about "Indian Culture" ?

I have had a few Indian friends. One friend in particular we could of been best friends but I moved away. The one thing I have learnt just this past week is that there are way more born again Christians in India then I ever thought possible. I have learnt through the last few years that I enjoy eating more Indian dishes besides samosas. You will find me eating Indian Cuisine at the food court when on a shopping trip tot he mall. What about you? What other cultures have you had an experience with?

Baluyadav- What I know is from my limited friendship with a girl in highschool, and from my husband who has studied a lot of the religious aspect of India. I know that Hinduism is the main religion, and the cow is still considered sacred to all Hindus. I know about the Vedas, but am still working through reading them along with the Upanishads. I know that there is still a class system in India despite their freedom. My friend was in an arranged marriage even though she was from the USA. She was to marry a doctor from India when she was done with highschool. From what I saw on a special on the discovery channel not all marriages are arranged any more, but some are. I did like what I saw in regard to the Indian wedding. It's very festive. I know that in some of the stricter areas, just from what I saw on a program about India, the women eat after the men and off the same mat. (Personally, that's how it occurs here save the plate. I feed my children and husband first and I eat after they are done). I am not sure about voting rights as I've not studied that. So I am not sure if women have the same rights to vote there now as men or if only men can vote. I am always willing to learn more about your beautiful country. One day it is our hopes to live there for a time so my husband can study with a yogi and study the faith. In terms of dress I own one saree and two salawars myself. The saree bodice was cut wrong though and I have yet to have it tailored to fit so I have yet to wear it. The salawars I wear through the summer months here because they are cooler. Namaste-Anora

offcourse i know indian culture as i am an indian and i know what is going around and how the culture is here. india is the place where we have these kind of traditions where we live into a family and not ony just a fmily and also the joint family and yes arrange marriages takes place here and all this is very rare or almostnill to find in any other country.

have several Indian friends here in the Philippines. One thing I can say is that you people are one of the very industrious people here. Anyway we usually call Indian nationals here as "Bombay".
