How did Indian civilization survive longest in history?

India, as a cultural package is notable for its antiquity, continuity, assimilation, diversity and refinement and is wrapped in one unmistakable package: survivability. The reason of continuity in the Indian civilization in comparison to Greek, Roman or Egyptian civilizations is because the foundation principle is to sit together calmly and think deeply on the issues humans face in their life while other civilizations were busy doing warfare and conquests on neighbors. The best emperors in India were Asoka and Akbar and both expounded the path of unity in diversity and they created golden ages in India. Even in the modern world, India has never attacked another country first.

I am waiting for the day when majority population in India realizes this fact and then we will have another golden age as Indian civilization has had in past.

Great Indian Wedding

Indian weddings are very bright events filled with ritual and celebration.
It is not a small affair, often with 400-1000 people attending (many of whom are unknown to the bride and groom).
The traditions vary across religion, caste, ethnicity, language, region, etc.
Modern marriages are moving from arranged marriages to love marriages.
Traditional Indian Weddings are generally structured into Pre-wedding ceremonies, in wedding day ceremonies (consisting of the Baraat, the Varmala and the Phere) and the Vidaai.

Great Indian God: Lord Krishna

Krishna (कृष्ण in Devanagari ) is a deity worshipped across many traditions of Hinduism. He is usually depicted as a young cowherd boy playing a flute (such as in the Bhagavata Purana) or a youthful prince giving philosophical direction (as in the Bhagavad Gita).

Most commonly within Hinduism, Krishna is worshipped as an avatar of Vishnu, who is considered the Supreme God by the Vaishnava schools. Within Gaudiya Vaishnavism Krishna is worshipped as the source of all other avatars (including Vishnu).

Krishna and the stories associated with him appear across a broad spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions. Though they sometimes differ in details reflecting the concerns of a particular tradition, some core features are shared by all. These include a divine incarnation, a pastoral childhood and youth, and life as a heroic warrior and teacher.
