Indian society

Subcontinental social structure

Indian society refers to the social structures, customs, and cultural practices of India and its diaspora.

The term encompasses the caste system, family structures, religious traditions, and communal relationships that shape daily life: Indian society places great emphasis on family obligations.

Discussion often focuses on tensions between traditional hierarchies and modernizing forces, or on the diversity across regions, religions, and languages within the subcontinent.
