In
1972, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organisation (UNESCO) launched a programme for the identification,
protection and preservation of cultural and natural
Heritage Sites across the world.
The cultural sites include
monuments with historial, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific,
ethnological or anthropological value.
A site was deemed of national heritage by virtue of its outstanding
universal value.
Heritage
of India
The roots of Ind
ian
civilization stretch back in time to pre-recorded history. The
earliest human activity in the Indian sub-continent can be traced
back to the Early, Middle and Late Stone Ages through 400,000-200,000
BC. Throughout its history armies, traders, and immigrants from
all over the world have invaded India. India's heritage is like
a rainbow of multiple facets like performing arts, crafts, religion,
customs, traditions, beliefs, philosophy, history, health, medicine,
travel, cuisine, monuments, literature, painting and languages.
Each one of these heritages of India reflects the influence of
prevailing cultures. These were the cultures primarily taken birth
from the amalgamation of migrating cultures with the Indian ones.
Nevertheless today its medical, scientific and philosophical heritage
has made a mark of its own in the world.
