Indonesian Cultures
Posted On Monday, July 28th, 2008 By Ravi
Recently I find myself a bit too occupied studying Asian cultures. All these cultures are pretty ancient, and I am looking for blogs that can give me authentic information, rather than trusting Discovery Travel and Living and National Geographic. I had been searching for Indonesian Cultures in martial arts, food, festivals and other customs of Indonesia, which if I am right has a touch of the Indian cultures too. And thats perhaps why Indonesia has the first part of its name rhyming with India. Sanskrit is one of Indonesia’s tribal name, and most words that are used in Sanskrit in India, is their tribal language today, while Sanskrit was a popular language in India in which several books and poems were composed in. Well, Sanskrit is almost extinct in India now, except amoung certain scholars who still learnsanskrit to get to read the traditional Hindu books in their original form. But the tribe that learned Sanskrit from the Indians, still use it as their language in their tribe, though naturally it would be modified a lot over the years with influences of several languages, but still, like I said, several words remain the same.
