Company:
According to Eugene M. Makar, traditional culture India is defined by the relatively strict social hierarchy. He also mentions that from an early age,

Children are reminded of their roles and places in society. This is reinforced by the fact that many believe gods and spirits are an integral and functional

role in determining their life. Several differences such as culture and religion divide. However, much more powerful division is the traditional Hindu

fork in clean and clean occupations. Strict social taboos have governed these groups for thousands of years.In recent years,

especially in the cities, some of these lines are cleared and sometimes even disappeared. Nuclear family is becoming the center of Indian culture.
