Characteristics of Indian culture

Literature, art, music, dance and sculpture in India are all centered on religion, and their forms and contents are also related to religion. Even the formulation of political laws, the formation of people's moral concepts, and the customs and habits of various ethnic groups are all produced and developed under the influence of religion.
