“Culture – A Gift to Preserve”


Culture is the legacy that we have inherited and is a gift that we will pass on. Good Morning one and all present here. Today, I, ABC of class-XII, am here to speak on the topic “Culture – A Gift to Preserve”.


Indian culture, since ancient times, has been contributing immensely to make the world a better place to live in. the teachings of countless Indian holy books hold true even today. An Indian gave the world the ‘zero’, which drives our mathematical calculations and various scientific findings were already proven in our epics while it took the modern-day scientists so many years to do so.


We need to realize that this culture needs to be preserved at all costs. This is what makes us different from the whole world. Our youth should be made aware of our culture’s might and should be encouraged to follow Indian culture as much as possible. Government should organize awareness programs and can even add some related subjects in school curriculum also. This is a tool that no other nation has got and now it is our responsibility to utilize it to its fullest and make our nation a superpower.


Thank You!
