Hi,

Indian society is known for its ability of tolerance and acceptance, and social cohesion making it unique in sustaining its culture. The importance of fraternity enshrined in the Preamble of the constitution makes it a duty of every citizen. Indian society is extensively diverse in cultural and regional aspects and it is pertinent that it is posited in each individual the realization of ideas and objectives in the Preamble concerning every other individual.

It is rather difficult to make pointers on what are the features of the Indian society as the essence of Indian society lies in harboring diverse and distinct identities, ethnicities, languages, religions, and culinary preferences. History stands witness to the fact that the societies that have struggled to hold differences were shattered in such an attempt.

But for understanding and simplifying the conundrum, the salient features of Indian society can be listed down as-

1. Multi-ethnic Society
2. Multi-Lingual Society
3. Multi-Religious Society
4. Multi- Caste
5. Unity In Diversity
6. Patriarchal Society
7. Tribes
8. Family
9. Kinship System
10. The balance between spiritualism and materialism
11. The balance between Individualism and collectivism
12. Co-existence of traditionalism and modernity.

Hope this helps.
