Culture is a term that has different meanings. In 1952, Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn compiled a list of 164 definitions of "CULTURE".
However, the word "culture" is most commonly used in three basic senses:
1. Excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as high culture
2. An integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning.
3.The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group.
Culture of India has been shaped not only by its long history, unique geography and diverse demography, but also by its ancient heritages, which were formed during the Indus Valley Civilization and evolved further during the Vedic age, rise and decline of Buddhism, the Golden age, invasions from Central Asia, European colonization and the Indian independence movement.
India's languages, religions, dance, music, architecture and customs differ from place to place within the country, but nevertheless possess a commonality.
