আজকের যে ভারতীয় সংস্কৃতি — আমাদের অভ্যাস, রীতিনীতি, নায়ক, গল্প, দর্শন, খাদ্যাভ্যাস এবং বিশ্বদর্শন — এখনো বহুল পরিমানে হাজার বছরের প্রাচীন ধারণার উপর ভিত্তি করে বৈদিক সময় থেকেই চলে আসছে, এবং তা হিন্দু, বৌদ্ধ ও জৈন ধর্মের নীতি ভিত্তিক। গত দু হাজার বছর থেকে এই সংস্কৃতি অনেক প্রভাবের মিলনে আরও সমৃদ্ধ হয়েছে। এমন কি আছে যা ভারত কে বিশেষ করে তোলে? শুনুন অমীশ ত্রিপাঠীর লেখা জনপ্রিয় বই, "মৃত্যুঞ্জয়ী ভারত"!
