prevalent in the country, out of which, Hindi is the official language
and is
spoken in most of the urban cities of India. English is the language of business

the form to do business locally, specially the influence of Hinduism.
India's history and culture is dynamic, spanning back to the beginning of human
civilization. It begins with a mysterious culture along the Indus River and in
farming communities in the southern lands of India. The history of India is
punctuated by constant integration of migrating people with the diverse cultures
that surround India.
India probably has the most religious diversity in any country. It’s the
birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. It’s among the few
places to have a resident Zoroastrian population. Secularism is enshrined
in the Constitution.
With the origins of Hinduism and Buddhism in India, religion is considered to
be extremely important. of the two religions, Hinduism is infinitely more
popular, with an incredible 82 percent of the population practicing it.
Hinduism has grown to become the world's third largest religion, after
Christianity and Islam. It claims about 837 million followers - 13% of the
world's population. It is the dominant religion in India, Nepal, and among
the Tamils in Sri Lanka. Hinduism is generally regarded as the
world's oldest organized religion.
Hindu sacred texts are perhaps the most ancient religious texts still
surviving today. The primary sacred texts of Hinduism are the Vedas:
the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda.
The Bhagavad Gita, usually considered part of the sixth book of the
Mahabharata (dating from about 400 or 300 B.C.), is a central text of Hinduism, a philosophical dialog between the god Krishna and the warrior Arjuna. This is
one of the most popular and accessible of all Hindu scriptures, required reading
for anyone interested in Hinduism.
Although the caste system was abolished by law in 1949, it remains a
significant force among Hindus throughout much of India.
Mahatma Gandhi has come to be known as the Father of India and a beacon
of light in the last decades of British colonial rule, promoting
non-violence, justice and harmony between people of all faiths.
"Ahimsa, non-violence, comes from strength, and the strength is from God, not
man. Ahimsa always comes from within." Gandhi
The Ayurvedic idea is that the organism adapts to the environment and its
food, climate etc. This principle of adaptation is called satyma.
