Culture Post #5
In this post, I would like to describe my vision for the cultural presentation. Over the course of the semester, my language partner and I have had great discussions about the Indian culture and what exactly it means to be an Indian.
We touched on some great topics in our “culture talks”: a woman’s role on a macro-level (the Indian society) and on a micro-level (at home), the difference between the urban Indian and the countryside, and religion.
For my project, I would like to focus my attention on religion and how that plays a role in the larger Indian culture. My presentation will begin with a brief history of Hinduism. Then, I will focus on the role religion plays in today’s modern society. Here, I would like to highlight the conflict between the followers of Hinduism and the followers of Islam.
My plans may change depending on what my research reveals but, for the time being, the purpose of my presentation will be to shed light on the history of Hinduism, the role of religion toady and the religious conflict and whether they are truly religious or simply conflicts between people.
