Culture and civilisation are said to be interdependent. Many people misinterpret culture and civilization as same but Civilisation is the foundation of culture and in the same way, culture is the reflection of a civilisation.  It can be said in another words as the culture of a society or nation is the reflection or outcome of its civilisation. Both are essential determinants for each other.

Culture can be defined as development of persona by education and training. Culture affects person’s mind, behavior and expression. Civilised society is one which is organised under conditions ministering to the welfare of the community and the cultured society is one which emphasises the ideals, conduct, relationships, aesthetics and other values.

Civilization doesn’t come with individual but it is a group effort of society or era trending. It reflects development in various aspects as material, mental, artistic, moral, economical and spiritual of human life or society or nation. Therefore it includes all the tradition and affairs of education, knowledge, science, art, legal and religious organizations etc.

India is such a civilized nation which has invented and developed different ways and plans for the overall development of human life in executing the thought, intelligence, imagination of people into action. India has it’s own set of values which is just reflected image of ideal civilization. A country may undergo changes physically, mentally, politically, socially or religiously, because change is the regular process of the universe. India has established itself for its great heritage and culture throughout the entire world.
