Back in the old days, hundreds and thousands of years ago, there lie stories to tell which are unknown to the general mass of people now. The successes, failures, sorrows, struggles, and achievements of Indian people are printed on pages but hardly do we realize their pains and pleasures. India has faced multiple invasions from foreign lands and has gone through a series of turmoil throughout its history. Whether the Mughal invaders or the British Emperors, they tried their best to shake the rich culture of the Indian people. They indeed succeeded in their attempts to some degree but the native people were not easy to conquer. Although India, then known as “the Golden Bird” was full of people with different traditional backgrounds, cultures, faiths, and beliefs, were still united by their love for the nation and this seems true at present. The roots of Indian culture are so profound that even the strongest opponents and enemies cannot take away their unity.
