Art, Culture and Gender: The Indian Psyche

Art, Culture, and Gender issues reflect the human psyche down through the history. The identity of a person comes from family, community, country, land, culture and spirituality. One can't understand an individual removed from that. India is a multicultural, tolerant society with its complex traditions, beliefs, and thinking, which is distressed by various socio-political and religious elements today. However, the glorious India is admired for its tolerance and multiculturalism. Due to pressure groups and fanatic outfits emerging in the society, India is slowly losing its original social outlook and tend to move towards a bigoted society. Multiculturalism is a beauty, as we see different flowers in a garden. The fascist ideology that is often propagated by fundamentalist groups spoils this beauty in the Indian society. In this regard, India needs some dynamic personalities who can propagate, educate and inculcate the glorious values of humanism and work for tolerance and harmony.
