Indian culture

by Fernanda Rosário

India has an interesting culture.
One reason is that, in this continent you can find 22 official languages, including Hindi, Tamil and English.
Another thing is that they have several religions there, Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Catholic, etc and they also have to coexist together.
The cuisine of India is extremely different and diverse, they eat a lot of spicy and sweet food, and half of the population is vegetarian because they consider the animals sacred, especially cows.
Finally, the economy of India has increased in the last decade, although they have a lot of poverty there, it is an interesting thing if you compare with Brazil, because we have the same situation of poverty here. However, in India there isn’t a large percentage of violence, then maybe it happens because of their culture that respects the human being first.
