  1. The Five Key Components of Humanity. While the elements of culture and the evolution of society have been thoroughly studied, I have never given much thought to the subject. That is, before I have been charged with identifying at least five features that are characteristics of a culture that make it distinct from non-civilized cultures. Each of these features of society functions synergistically, making civilized cultures stand out in sharp contrast to the non-civilized societies that followed them. A quick description of each of these Ancient Indian Culture should reveal their significance. First, large urban population centres are one of the components of civilization. The term culture itself can most accurately be described as life in cities. Naturally, in growing numbers, people gathered in this prototype city. Second, writing is another aspect of Ancient Period Of India. Currently, others may say that writing was invented in Uruch. The apparent advantage of this was the ability to communicate and pass on essential political, moral realities and stories to the posterity. While the oral history of the people of this period is well known, the story of these people has now been preserved and disseminated via the written word. The ceremonial buildings and ritual centers that peppered the Ur landscape were equally significant. Shrines, altars, and temples played a key role in ancient history, as they do today. Ritual worship and rituals is connected to the faith and cultural structure of society. These ceremonial centers were called sacred sites, and acted as a people's magnet, like the fertile land itself. Continuity is another feature of civilization. Like Chandragupta Maurya, civil societies were sedentary societies by nature. Of course, people and thoughts poured in and out of the early cultures, but there was an aspect of permanent inhabitants. Undoubtedly, land and private property rights were the inevitable consequences of this stability as citizens chose to live in the cities. Finally, the arts are another central aspect of culture. When the quality of life of the population increased in the first cities, there was more time (relatively speaking) for the pleasures of the arts. There are also other non-negotiable aspects of civilization; laws, governance, social institutions, etc. As is apparent, such features include large population centres in communities, literature, ceremonial centres, continuity, and the arts. Non-civilized cultures, on the other hand, are lacking in all these ways. India has appeared as one of the most prominent institutions on the world tourism board. It has always been one of the best places tourists from everywhere in the world would want to visit. It may be due to the fact that it is one of the oldest countries and has many majestic temples symbolic of their glorious past.

  2. Any of the sights that every visitor in the world would love to see if he or she ever had the opportunity to visit India are Taj Mahal, Chariot Temple of Sun Gold, Agra Fort and a host of attractions. India has become one of the world's leading destinations, particularly for tourists from Europe, the United States, Africa and Australia. They say that if you want peace of mind with an adventure, visiting India is always a perfect idea. + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
