As the country's economy opens up, more and more American companies are seeking out business opportunities there - and as with any foreign country, it is important to first understand the culture. Here are a few things to keep in mind when doing business in India. First and foremost, the business environment does not operate as quickly as it does at home. Punctuality, especially in government offices, is not a very high priority. You may find yourself waiting for hours to meet someone with whom you had fixed an appointment. To avoid this, it is best to call just before leaving your hotel - you can reconfirm your appointment and find out whether the person has arrived or not.

India India's History Adventure in India Asia Homepage The World "So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked." Mark Twain, from Following the Equator I t is impossible not to be astonished by India. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues. Every aspect of the country presents itself on a massive, exaggerated scale, worthy in comparison only to the superlative mountains that overshadow it. Perhaps the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India completely. Set apart from the rest of Asia by the supreme continental wall of the Himalayas, the Indian subcontinent touches three large bodies of water and is immediately recognizable on any world map. It is the huge, terrestrial beak between Africa and Indonesia. This thick, roughly triangular peninsula defines the Bay of Bengal to the east, the Arabian sea to the west, and the India Ocean to the south. India's puzzleboard of 26 states holds virtually every kind of landscape imaginable. An abundance of mountain ranges and

108. Jain Art From India Text only introduction to Jain culture and art by John Guy of the Victoria and Albert Museum. http://iias.leidenuniv.nl/iiasn/iiasn6/ascul/jain.html

23 November, 1995 - 18 February, 1996 Jain Art from India The Peaceful Liberators By John Guy The exhibition presents before Western audiences the remarkable artistic achievement of Jainism and its contribution to world religion. The principal themes which found expression in the art of Jainism are presented, notably the role of the Jina image, the significance of the deities, the ritual and narrative role of the illustrated text, and the Jain cosmology as seen through cosmological paintings. The place of pilgrimage in the Jain tradition is illustrated through monumental pilgrimage paintings. There is much in the historical development of Jain art which has parallels in the religious art of both Hinduism and Buddhism, but there are other aspects, particularly in relation to the role of the image in worship, which diverge fundamentally from the other traditional Indian religions. In the exhibition, stress is placed on the unique contribution of Jainism to the Indian religious and artistic tradition. Jainism Jainism grew out of the teachings of a series of historical teachers who became "enlightened" and hence liberated beings, the most recent being Mahavira (c. 599-527 BC), the 24th

HISTORY OF INDIA An introduction to the History of India Ancient India The Indus Valley Civilisation, Harrapa, Aryans and the Vedic Age Rise of Religions and Emergence of the State , The Gupta Age, ... Indian History - Important events History of India An overview : The people of India have had a continuous civilization since 2500 B.C., when the inhabitants of the Indus River valley developed an urban culture based on commerce and sustained by agricultural trade. This civilization declined around 1500 B.C., probably due to ecological changes. During the second millennium B.C., pastoral, Aryan-speaking tribes migrated from the northwest into the subcontinent. As they settled in the middle Ganges River valley, they adapted to antecedent cultures. The political map of ancient and medieval India was made up of myriad kingdoms with fluctuating boundaries. In the 4th and 5th centuries A.D., northern India was unified under the Gupta Dynasty. During this period, known as India's Golden Age, Hindu culture and political administration reached new heights. Islam spread across the Indian subcontinent over a period of 500 years. In the 10th and 11th centuries, Turks and Afghans invaded India and established sultanates in Delhi. In the early 16th century, descendants of Genghis Khan swept across the Khyber Pass and established the Mughal (Mogul) Dynasty, which lasted for 200 years. From the 11th to the 15th centuries, southern India was dominated by Hindu Chola and Vijayanagar Dynasties. During this time, the two systemsthe prevailing Hindu and Muslimmingled, leaving lasting cultural influences on each other.

INDIAN CULTURE CULTURES OF INDIA TRADITIONS OF INDIA INDIAN MONUMENTS FESTIVALS OF INDIA INDIAN HISTORY TEMPLES OF INDIA ... FREEDOM STRUGGLE India's culture The term culture refers to a state of intellectual development or manners. The social and political forces that influence the growth of a human being is defined as culture. Indian culture is rich and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way. Our manners, way of communicating with one another, etc are one of the important components of our culture. Even though we have accepted modern means of living, improved our lifestyle, our values and beliefs still remain unchanged. A person can change his way of clothing, way of eating and living but the rich values in a person always remains unchanged because they are deeply rooted within our hearts, mind, body and soul which we receive from our culture. Indian culture treats guests as god and serves them and takes care of them as if they are a part and parcel of the family itself. Even though we don’t have anything to eat, the guests are never left hungry and are always looked after by the members of the family. Elders and the respect for elders is a major component in Indian culture. Elders are the driving force for any family and hence the love and respect for elders comes from within and is not artificial. An individual takes blessings from his elders by touching their feet. Elders drill and pass on the Indian culture within us as we grow.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Check out the NEW Hotbot Tell me when this page is updated SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY Pages from the history of the Indian Subcontinent Islam and the sub-continent - appraising its impact Perhaps no aspect of India's history excites more passion and violent disagreement than the evaluation of Islam's role in the sub-continent. On the one hand, the most extreme advocates of the 2-nation theory see the arrival of Islam as overwhelmingly positive - defending every gory invader or brutal conqueror that reached Indian soil - there are others who see the arrival of Islam as an even more destructive event for the people of the sub-continent than colonial rule. (See the article on the 2-nation theory for a comparison of India's Islamic period with colonial rule) . For Indians, this problem has been compounded by the impact of colonial rule, and its attempt to foster divisions and heighten tensions between India's different religious communities. A successful fight against colonial rule required the widest possible unity of the Indian people. This often meant that historical disputes between Hindu and Muslim scholars had to be muted. The fear of inciting communal riots or tensions and religious separatism weighed heavily on many historians. Partition caused such fears to linger on into the post-independence period as well. Because Muslims were a minority in India, there was a reluctance on the part of secular historians to critique the role of Islam in any way that could be perceived as 'negative'. Unfortunately this also led to an intellectual vacuum and historical confusion that has now been exploited by less scrupulous historians and even sheer myth-makers.

Home World of Tea Production Culture A thirsty nation The country that produces the most tea, also drinks the most tea. About 75% of Indian tea (about 600m kilos) is consumed in the home market. The is surprise is that before commercial growing began in the first half of the nineteenth century, tea-drinking was virtually unknown in India. Tea leaves go further in India than they do elsewhere. Strong teas that give good, cup-after-cup extraction rates are preferred. The more cups from a single brew, the better. A meal in a cup Indian tea is brewed in a single pot with lots of milk and sugar – and sometimes spices – all added at the same time. Each pot is brewed many times over to make it go further. With all those calories piled in, tea becomes a far more sustaining drink. In a nation where hunger is never far away, tea is drunk as if it were a food. At street-corner and roadside teashops, it provides an instant pick-me-up and a chance to linger for a moment to catch up on the news of the day. R Twining and Company Limited 2001

119. Anthropologist Tracks Transnational Movements Of India's Culture Anthropologist tracks transnational movements of india s culture. The movie begins with a familiar story line Boy meets girl. They fall in love. http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/pr/00/000224mankekar.html

Kathleen O'Toole, News Service (650) 725-1939; e-mail: kathleen.otoole@stanford.edu Anthropologist tracks transnational movements of India's culture The movie begins with a familiar story line: Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Her close-knit family in England worries. Then the girl's father uproots the whole family to take them back to their roots in India, where marriages are still arranged by parents. In a darkened theater in California's Silicon Valley, a man who left India many years ago, a successful computer engineer in his mid-50s with three daughters, finds himself unexpectedly dissolved in tears. Purnima Mankekar tells this story about an acquaintance's reaction to an Indian film with a sense of wonderment. "What," she asks, "is tearing at these hearts?" Mankekar, an assistant professor of anthropology at Stanford and a member of the far-flung Indian Diaspora herself, searches for ways to explain such complex heart tugs, the global-yet-local nature of today's cultures. "A lot of overseas Indians, including people [whose families] left India centuries ago, are much more captivated by these Indian-made films than by those from Hollywood," she says assuredly, after having reviewed industry box office data. "Something resonates, a cultural meta-discourse of behavior and relationship patterns connects them to these films. Some of the people I've met from Guyana and Trinidad actually learned what little Hindi they know from watching these films, and the Indian film industry has become more sensitive to the needs of the Diaspora because they have become a major part of their audience."
