Sıkh.......... 1.87%
Buddhist...... 0.77%

Hinduism: It is the world’s thirth religion that widely believed.Also ıt is the main religion in India. They believe in three in one God known as “Brahman” which is composed of Brahma (The creator) Vishnu (Preserver) Shiva (the destroyer).One of the oldest aspects of Hınduism is as much social as religious and that is the Caste System.There are four Castes or social classes. Each Cast has its own rules and obligation for living.
The elit caste is the Brahman or priest caste.
Second one is the Kshatriyas or warriors and rulers.
Third are the Vaisyas or merchants and farmers.
Fourth caste is Shudras or laborers.
They believe in Karma the law that good begets good bad begets bad.Every action is thought as a decision one make has consequences.Good or bad that will return to each person in the present life or in one yet to come.
They also believe in Reincarnation.It is known as “transmigration of souls” or “samsara”.This is a journey on the “circle of life” where each person experiences as series of physical births, deaths and rebirths.With good Karma a person can be reborn into a higher caste,or even to good.Bad karma can relegate one to a lower caste or even to life as an animal in their next life.
Nirvana is the goal of Hındu .It is the release of the soul from the seemingly endless cycle of rebirth.This is the only possible way to end our sufferings.
Moreover they belive in cow as a god.They make use of ıts milk,butter,cheese and etc.. ıt is very important for them.As there is not any god which represents the cow they believe in ıtself.Killing a cow equals with killing the God.
Ganga is important in Indians beliefs.When someone dies,they burn his/her body and sprinkle ıts cinder to the Ganga.That’s why they believe that he/she gains freedom.
While we are searching Indian’s religion we encounter with very surprising and different beliefs from ours.We believe in neither Karma nor Reincarnation.We never pray an animal or effigy such as Budha.These beliefs are forbidden in our religion.

values of india
Indian people have similar values with ours.We mentioned about some of these examples below.
Meeting Etiquette:This is a hierarchical culture,so greet the eldest or most senior person first. When a leaving group,each person must be bid farewell indivudially.Shaking hands is common .Men may shake hands with other man and women may shake hands with other women; however there are seldom hand shakes between men and women because of religious beliefs.
Naming Conventions:In the North many people have both a given name and a surname,but it is surprising that in the South of India surnames are less common and a person generally uses the initial of their father’s name in front of their own name.At marriage, Women drop their father’s name and use their first name with husband’s first name as a sort of surname.It is different from our values in that in our marriages woman use her husband’s surname.
Dining Etiquette: Indian’s take off their shoes before entering the house.They dress modestly and conservatively like in Turkey.
There are some restrictions in eating in India for example:
Hindus do not eat beef. Many are vegetarians.Muslims in India do not eat pork or drink alcohol.Muslims in Turkey do not eat pork too, but they drink alcohol.Indian people always eat with right hand.Leaving a small amount of food your plate indicates that you are satisfied. Finishing all your food means you are still hungry.However in Turkey ıf someone leaves even a little amount of food in his plate it is evaluated as rudeness.

LANGUAGE OF INDIA
India has a rich language because of its population. There are 18 national languages. 1600 dialects.Likewise in India,Turkey has a rich language because of different ethnic groups.For example Kurdish,language of Laz and Zaza and languages of immigrant groups.
The official language is Indo which is written with Devnagri. Also English is used more widely than Indo.It is surprising for us that although they got their independence ,almost all people still use English as an official language.Also, there are various local languages in the country. They are divided their stages according to these languages but in our country regions are not divided according to languages.In India except from English and Indo Assamese, Bengali,Gugarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Kankani, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Oriya , Teligu, Urdu that are widely used. In the southern part of India “ Dravidian “ languages and in the northern part of the Indo- Aryan languages are used.These are two major alphabets in Indian languages . All of the languages that are used have their own alphabet ,however in Turkey we use only one major alphabet called as Latin.
Firstly, Indian parliament declared Hindo in Devnagri script to be the official language of the union. 15 years later , the parliament continued to use English for official purposes along with Indo.After 1965, it was met with protest across. Some of these protests turned into violent. Sanskrit is the oldest language in the world. At the same time , it is an old Indian language. All the classical literature of India are written in Sanskrit. There are some words which are used in Persion and Turkish. Hafta , pençe ,nil , Nilgün, pazı… these words are taken from Sanskrit.

önemli
İngilizceyi öğrenmek için pratik yapmak önemli
Gündemin feci şekilde saptırıldığı ülkemizde, yaşamsal önemine rağmen konuşulmayan, tartışılmayan konulardan birisi de İngilizce.
Yirminci yüzyılın sonunda en çok konuşulan lisan unvanını kazanmış bulunan İngilizce, AB'nin resmi dili olunca küresel plandaki hakimiyetini iyice pekiştirdi. Fransızlar lisan konusunda dünyanın en şoven ulusu olarak tanınır. Buna rağmen, Fransa Cumhurbaşkanı'nın protestosuna aldırmaksızın Fransız bakanın bir AB toplantısında İngilizce konuşması ve gerekçe olarak da "dünya bu dili konuşuyor" demesi gösteriyor ki; insanlığın ezelden beri süren ortak lisan hülyası İngilizce sayesinde gerçeğe dönüşme aşamasına gelmiş. Beğenseniz de beğenmeseniz de; ekonomide, sosyal alanda, eğitim-öğretimde, bilim ve teknolojide global dil İngilizcedir.
Dünyayı gittikçe küçülten küreselleşme İngilizceyi hem ekonomik hem sosyal bakımdan bir gereklilik haline getirdi. Küçüklü, büyüklü her türlü şirketin varlığını sürdürebilmesi için dış ticaret yapması şart. Uluslararası ticaret de, daha ilk adımında artık müşterek dünya dili haline gelmiş olan İngilizceyi gerektiriyor. Globalizmin başka bir ürünü de kültürel yakınlaşma. Bugünün dünyasında insanlar başka ülkeleri merak ediyor, başka ülkelerin vatandaşlarını tanımayı ve onlarla yakınlaşmayı arzuluyor. İngilizce müşterek anlaşma lisanı olarak kültürel yakınlaşmaya hizmet ediyor.
Ne yazık ki, Türkiye İngilizce eğitiminde çok geri kalmış durumda. Latin alfabesi kullanıyor olmamıza ve dilimizin İngilizceye yatkınlığına rağmen, bu dili iyi bilenlerimizin oranı yüksek tahsilliler arasında bile çok düşük. Yazımızın amacı, İngilizce eğitimiyle ilgili makro analiz yapmak değil. Bunun yerine, İngilizce öğrenmek ve öğretmek isteyenlere pratik yarar sağlayabilecek bazı önerilerimiz var. Şöyle ki: İngilizceyi gerçekten öğrenmek isteyen birinin evvela, bazı temel gerçekleri zihnine yerleştirmesi gerekir. Hatta diyebilirim ki, İngilizce öğrenebilmek için, bir zihniyet devrimi şarttır. ' ama ne yapmalıyım?' diyorsanız şunları dikkatle okuyun:
1- İngilizce Türkçeden tamamen farklı bir dildir. İngilizce, Cermen dil ailesine aittir. Cermen dilleri, Indo-Avrupa dil ailesinin bir koludur. Türkçe, Altay dil ailesine ait bir dildir. Türkçede gramer kuralları mutlaktır, istisnalar yoktur. İngilizcede ise her kuralın istisnası vardır. Türkçede genel cümle kalıbı = Özne-Nesne-Fiil (Subject-Object-Verb) sırasını izler. İngilizcede cümle = Özne-Fiil-Nesne (Subject-Verb-Object) biçimindedir. İngilizce telaffuzda vurgu ilk hece veya hecelerdedir. Türkçede ise, vurgu son hecelerdedir.
2- Lisanda mantık olmaz. Zira, dil doğal bir oluşumdur. Bu nedenle dilde mantık aramak beyhudedir. Daha da kötüsü böyle bir arayış öğrenmeyi geciktirir. İngilizcenin mantıksızlığından yakınanlara, Türkçemizin daha az mantık içerdiğini söylemeliyim. Nedeni, dilimizin İngilizceye göre daha doğal bir dil olmasıdır.
3- İngilizceye egemen olmak için Anglo-Sakson kültürünü tanımamız gerekir. Bunu tersinden okursak: Lisanlarını öğrenirken, mecburen bu ulusların kültürünü de öğreniriz; kültürün en önemli unsuru ise lisandır. Örneğin, İngilizceyi anadili olarak konuşan milletlerde, "teşekkür" ve "lütfen" sözcükleri çok sık kullanılır. O kadar ki, bu kelimeler ağızlardan refleks olarak çıkar.
4- İngilizceyi öğrenmenin ve özellikle öğrendikten sonra muhafaza etmenin yolu, İngilizceyi sevmek ve onu hayatın bir parçası haline getirmektir. Bu bağlamda: BBC ve CNN gibi kanalları düzenli şekilde izlemek, hafta sonları orijinal film seyretmek, vesaire mutlaka yararlıdır.
5- Lisan bir bütündür ve bütünlüğü içinde bir dilde; okumak, yazmak, anlamak ve konuşmak gerekir. Bunların hepsi önemlidir. Biri olmadan, diğeri olmaz. Ancak, konuşmanın özel bir ehemmiyeti vardır. Nitekim, 'dil, konuşmak için öğrenilir' söylemi oldukça yaygındır.

GOD
A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.
While on the operating table she had a near death experience.
Seeing God She asked "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live." Upon recovery,
the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a Facelift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color.
Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home,
she was killed by an ambulance. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the
path of the ambulance?"
(You'll love this!!!)
God replied,
I didn't recognize you."

fun
At Duke University, there were four sophomores taking Organic Chemistry.
They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms and labs, etc., that
each had an "A" so far for the semester. These four friends were so
confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the
University of Virginia and party with some friends there.
They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day
Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor
after the final and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that
they had gone to UVA for the weekend with the plan to come back in time to
study, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn't have
a spare, and couldn't get help for a long time. As a result, they missed
the final.
The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final
the following day. The guys were elated and relieved. They studied that
night and went in the next day at the time the professor had told them. He
placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet, and
told them to begin.
They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was something
simple about free radical formation. "Cool," they thought at the same time,
each one in his separate room, "this is going to be easy."
Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was
written: (For 95 points): Which tire?Moral: Don't mess around with your teacher. Don't think we're smarter than
the teachers and professors.
