Abstract
Any attempt at describing society and culture in India must begin with three assertions:
-
●
Formally, India only came into being just over 60 years ago. The region in which Indian culture, society, and civilization has developed, has long been a loose and informal confederation. India is more a cultural unit than a political entity.
-
●
In its history, the physical boundaries of this cultural unit were almost always larger than what India is today.
-
●
India is a composite of multiple influences in a civilization that has continued to evolve for more than 5,000 years — and is still in the process of evolving as a living and changing culture.
