The culture of India has been shaped by the long history of India, its unique geography and the absorption of customs, traditions and ideas from some of its neighbors as well as by preserving its ancient heritages, from the Indus Valley Civilization onward. India's great diversity of cultural practices, languages, customs, and traditions are examples of this unique co-mingling over the past five millennea. India is also the birth place of several religious systems such as Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, some of which have had a great influence also in other parts of the world. From the thirteenth century onwards, following the Islamic conquests and the subsequent European colonialization, the culture of India was influenced by Turkish, Persian, Arabic and English cultures. The various religions and traditions of India that were created by these amalgamations have influenced South East Asia and some other parts of the world.

to define the word culture is itself a very difficult proposition with no common accepted defination existing. culture to most of us would mean the uniqueness that defines a country. In a vast country such as India, culture has been influenced by outsiders to such an extant that if ine were to search for the 'original' or true Indain culture, one would be at a loss. despite that our culture is unique and there exists no other country such as India which can boast of the plethora of foreign cultures that we have integrated.
