1. Communal harmony

Despite the fact that India has been inflicted with terror attacks andcommunal violence, the unity which generally exists among the varioussects, religions and communities in India is an aspect to be proud of.

Still, on everyfestival, an Indian invariably feasts on sumptuous Indian food and changesinto traditional costumes.
