Culture is the belief of a community that is transmitted from one generation to another. While studying culture we study people’s food, clothing and shelter preferences, their belief systems, rituals and customs. Art is the expression of culture – in tangible (literature, fine arts, sculptures, fashion, architecture, coins, pots, carvings, etc.) and intangible (performing arts, music, dance and theater) form. Heritage is what is needed to be preserved and what we as humans want to take forward too. This book shows how amalgamation of these three components – Culture, Art and Heritage – have created, build and resurrected Indian society from its inception. This book has been designed to address the needs of Civil services aspirants.
