Future Vacations Jaynagar: Explore India

India is called a country of unity in diversity. We use this phrase since childhood days. How many of us actually wanted to see the diversity of our own? The Culture, languages, architecture, food habbits, literature, even the skin colours varies a lot with the region we are referring to.
South India, for that matter, consists of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala Andhra Pradesh and Telengana has a huge variation in the cultural aspects within itself.If we consider the architecture itself, there are two distinct types, the pure Dravida style of Tamilnaru and Vesara or Karnata-Dravida style of Karnataka. There are differences in these two states in every aspect, ranging from language, dance, pujas, and even in styles of Mandirs. South India is home to 5 world heritage sites out of 26, listed in India.
South Indian traditions have found to be originated from Shaivite and Vaishnavite branches of Hinduism but you can also find some influences of Jains and Buddhists. We can also find strong presence of Christanity in coastal part of south India established by St Thomas and called as Syrian Christan traditions. Presence of Muslim community is evident in Malabar coast which has its roots in Arabian countries. And from the times of King Soloman, there is a Jewish community residing in Kerala which is considered as one of the oldest.
According to Amartya Sen, the India born Nobel Laureate in Economics, the culture of modern India is a complex blend of its historical traditions, influences from the effects of colonialism over centuries and current Western culture - both collaterally and dialectically. And that external images of India in the West often tend to emphasise the difference - real or imagined - between India and the West. There is a considerable inclination in the Western countries to distance and highlight the differences in Indian culture from the mainstream of Western traditions, rather than discover and show similarities. The deep-seated heterogeneity of Indian traditions, in different parts of India, is neglected in these homogenised description of India. The perceptions of Indian culture, by those who weren't born and raised in India.
