Language and Culture
P atna Museum
India is as diverse linguistically and culturally as religiously. The country is divided into 28 states and 7 Union Territories (managed by the Federal government). Each state boasts of a separate language (or at least a different flavour in Hindi speaking states) and its own culture.
The Punjabis in the state of Punjab are famous for their vivacious attitude and their love of dance, chicken and booze; the Gujaratis are, on the other hand, strictly vegetarian and entrepreneurial. The Bengalis have given Asia its first Nobel Laureate. They boast of a long literary tradition. The culture in the four southern states is markedly different from the north. Also, the culture of people in the north east of the country shows tribal influence.
