This is a graph showing the change in the number of children out of school from 1970 to 2008. As you can see, the number of children out of school is decreasing, which is a good thing. With more children in school, India is becoming more educated and more civilized to the modern world. This shows that India is progressing, especially quicker in recent years.
This is a graph showing the change in the amount of total energy used in India. This graph shows that although the change is slow, it is still increasing. This means that India is becoming more civilized and people are using more energy. People are becoming more technologically advanced, which means a lot since parts of India are rural.
India is known to be a very spiritual place, where many religions live. Hinduism is India's largest religion, where 80% of Indians are Hindu. Hinduism began in India about 5000 years ago. Other religions, like Buddhism and Jainism began in India. These religions still live on today, although there are only a small amount of Indians who are Jain and Buddhist. In the 15th century, a new religion, Sikhism, was developed. Today, only 2% of Indians are Sikhs. Many other religions have tried to develop in India, but have failed.
With Hinduism being the most popular religion in India, Hinduism has an effect on the culture and social development of India. Although people are free to practice other religions in India, Hinduism has had one of the main impacts on the culture and social development. When I traveled to India two years ago, I got to experience first hand how religion impacted society. In the Hindu religion, cows are sacred and holy, so they treat them with respect. While driving down the road, it would be very common to see cows on the side of the road, or even in the middle of the road blocking traffic. I also saw many women wearing bindis on their forehead, which are a Hindu tradition to give energy, reflect evil, and showed a sign of wisdom.
There are many sacred religious places in India. One of them is the Ajanta Caves, which is a series of 29 Buddhist cave Temples that date back all the way from the second century B.C. The Ellora Caves are 34 Jain, Hindu, and Buddhist Temples in Central India. The Bodhi tree is a tree of the descendent of the tree that Siddhartha Guatama sat under while he reached Enlightenment after 49 days of meditation.
The Constitution of India gives the people freedom to practice any religion or faith that they choose. Although much of the population in India is Hindu, the government does not discriminate against other religions. Instead, there have been records of out breaks of riots between people of different religions that have caused violence in India, but the government does not support these acts.

Cultural diversity in india
Over time, it is inevitable for change to occur. The cultural in India is very strong, but just like anything else, it is changing throughout time. A majority of the people in India are of Hindu religion, and Indian society is considered one of the most cultured in the world. Recently, India has become more westernized. The tradition clothing that the women and men would wear is becoming less common, or more Westernized. Children and adults are wearing western trends in clothing instead of their traditional clothing that their ancestors grew up with. This shows that the culture and beliefs in the country are dying down. With the new technology being introduced to India is making it a more modernized place. With the new technology, the youth in India is changing, which will eventually have a major impact on the cultural world of India. Not only is the clothing and technology changing and becoming more Westernized in India, but also the food is changing as well. India has distinct food and traditional ways of cooking their food. which are now being replaced with newer technologies, methods, and foods. This reflect on the dying down of Indian culture. Although it may not be in my lifetime, I can see how the Indian culture would fade away over time.

Food
Food in India is very different from other food throughout the world. In India, people take their meals seriously, when it comes to meal times to the preparation of the food. Most people in India make their meals from scratch. Indian food has many different spices and flavors. Indian food has been influenced by many civilizations and cultures, and can be different in different parts of India. Food in northern India is influenced more by Central Asian foods. In southern India, the food has more use of spices, fish, and coconut. A normal Indian meal is composed of a meat or fish dish, vegetables, and is complimented with either rice or flatbread. Indian food has had many different influences. The British influenced the Indians with their tea, and today tea is a very common thing to drink there. The Persian and Arab influences gave India the use of different gravies, dry fruits, and nuts in dishes. The Hindu religion has also left its mark on India food. The Hindu's believe that the cow is a sacred animal and that it is holy, so in India, it is uncommon to see people eating beef or steak from cows, although it is still available.
