It is rather natural for any person to be proud and protective of their culture because they are brought up admiring it. Indian culture is wide and diverse and no answer can fully justify the explanation it requires.

What is Culture? Culture is what our ancestors believed in. It is what they created. They created it believing that people can have a better life if followed. Culture is what we chose to believe in. Culture reflects our history. It is what that defines us. Everyone is entitled to their own custom cultures. It can be said with an simple example. If a person lives in a house he/she lives according to his/her beliefs and tradition. You can't force yourself into my house and ask me to adopt your style and beliefs.
