Welcome to India-live.org
This website is founded upon one simple principle - it is Your site, a place where you can express yourself in photographs and words with complete editorial freedom within our terms of acceptable content. Please read it before uploading anything.
Introduction:
India is a diverse society, steeped in centuries-old tradition; an amalgam of religions, creeds, Races, tribes and cultures, brought about by millenia of conflicts, cooperation and absorption.
Tradition is the foundation of civilisation and in India it is firmly rooted in the Vedas, where rules of conduct are laid out for every aspect of daily life and worship. Rules that have found their way into day-to-day dealings and are followed to some degree by virtually everyone in India.
For the bulk of the population, the intense struggle to survive on a daily basis is often hidden by the colourful and sometimes spectacular panorama of village festivities and religious practice. Practices which not only address the inner urge to worship, but often act to assuage the pain that daily life brings.
Today, as the cities and towns are in the throes of modernisation, the vast proportion of villages still continue with their ancient practices and their traditional way of life. A way of life that has served to carry their ancestors through countless centuries of change and a way of life that is unlikely to alter significantly even in today's climate of modernisation.
Despite any apparent differences between the different groups within Indian society, Indian culture as a whole has something to offer to the world at large, and on this site we hope to capture all aspects of the culture and to present them to the world in 'your' way, informative and accurate.
You can cover anything from wildlife and nature to remarkable landscapes, from the environment to simple daily life, from beauty to controversial subjects, the banal to the extreme. Nothing is exempt except those subjects excluded in our acceptable content policy.
They say 'a picture speaks a thousand words' and it is true! Nothing conveys a message as poignantly as a well-taken photograph. Here you can upload your photographs and show them to the world. You can add captions to the photographs as well as complete editorial descriptions for each one.
This is your site, your portal to the world - use it well.
To get started read the Help page fully, you can then upload your Topics.
