Indian Culture: Difference between revisions

'''Indian culture''' is a rich blend of various traditions of Ancient India. The foundation of ancient Indian culture was largely rooted in [[Hindu Dharma]], which evolved from Vedic traditions combined with small local customs and later incorporated some Buddhist influences. Beginning in the medieval period, the culture began to absorb elements from the Muslim world, especially from Central Asia and the Near west (Middle East), as well as European influences, particularly from the British, due to repeated Islamic invasions and the colonisation of India by European christian powers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=From the Achaemenids to the Mughals: A look at India's lost Persian history |url=https://www.middleeasteye.net/discover/india-persian-history-lost-achamenids-mughals |access-date=2023-09-11 |website=Middle East Eye |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-06-06 |title=How the British influenced Indian culture |url=https://www.dawn.com/2010/06/06/how-the-british-influenced-indian-culture/ |access-date=2023-09-11 |website=DAWN.COM |language=en}}</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20250128052255/https://jansankalp.org/influence-of-colonialism-on-indian-culture/</ref>
