Question 1.What is one of the commonest ways of describing people?
Answer:
One of the commonest ways of describing people is the language they speak. For example, when we refer to a person as a Tamil or an Oriya, this means that he or she speaks Tamil or Oriya and lives in Tamil Nadu or Orissa respectively.
Question 2.What do we tend to associate one region with?
Answer:
We tend to associate each region with distinctive kinds of food, clothes, poetry, dance, music and painting. Sometimes these identities are taken for granted and are assumed that they have existed from time immemorial.
Question 3.How have regional cultures evolved?
Answer:
- Regional cultures today are often the products of complex processes of intermixing of local traditions with ideas from other parts of the subcontinent.
