Exploring Indian Lifestyles: An Evolving Tradition

  • Thread starter amritha_sish
  • Start date
In summary, a student is seeking help with their project on Indian Lifestyles, particularly focusing on changing trends in standards of living and culture in both rural and urban areas. They are advised to research and make clear divisions for their analysis, such as rural vs. urban life and the impact of technology and immigration. They are also encouraged to look beyond websites and pictures and instead talk to people for a more comprehensive understanding.

I suggest you either go to a library and do some research, the librarian will be a great help in finding material for you, or at the very least do a search of reliable sources on the internet.

You should try to make some clear-headed divisions, for example:

1. Rural life
Here, see how for example agricultural technology has had impact on people's life, and how, for example, modern media like television has "expanded" the horizons of the individual, causing change.
Another important distinction would be impoverization/emigration to cities etc.
How are old class divisions, say between landholder and tenant changed?

2. Urban life:
Effect of immigration from rural areas/slum development
New classes of rich people
Materialism vs. "spiritual" culture


Of course, this was meant more as an "inspirational", rather than a firm guideline.
Other divisions and analyses might be equally interesting, say how differing religious groups have changed or tenaciously held on to their religion.
