“To me, it seems a dreadful indignity to have a soul controlled by geography.” ~George Santayana
India and the United States of America are two of the world’s largest and prominent democracies. In the past few decades, they have conquered a significant progress in development and globalization. The geographical setting of the two countries is no more a barrier and the credit goes to the perpetually evolving technology which has abridged the factor of distance greatly, turning the world into a global village and drawing all the cultures into a homogeneous viewpoint. India and United states share few similarities and also equally notable dissimilarities in terms of Religion, Politics, Social behaviour and Economic conditions. These similarities and dissimilarities are outcomes of the different life styles embraced by the inhabitants, from the medieval times. They are discussed extensively in the paragraphs below.
Religion is the one of the most crucial and predominant factor which holds the country’s population together. The main similarity in religion that both the countries share is most of the residents follow their religion with utmost reverence. The majority of the Americans follow Christianity and they visit churches. Similarly, majority of the Indians are Hindus and they perform religious rituals and visit Temples. There are several other ethnic groups apart from Christianity and Hinduism, prevailing in both the countries and they follow different religions correspondingly. Both these countries religions consist of various cults and each cult may also comprise of a cult leader supported by their followers. In both these countries, the lower sect or lower sub castes were treated very harshly
