India and Saudi Arabia's Culture
People often generalize that India and Saudi Arabia's typical culture are very similar from one another. Nevertheless, they are more different than they know. When it comes down to men and women's roll in society, they are very alike. Women's roll is to marry a man, which marriage is arranged, take care of the household and raise their children. They must do as their husband says and never assume an intolerant position towards him. Men are most of the time paternal giving them the roll of working and providing their families the necessary. They are the jauntily leader of the family; therefor they make almost all the decisions. Otherwise, these countries differ in many more aspects, like their traditions. In India, they believe in a joint family system, where extended members of the family live together. Logically, men are only aloud to marry one woman, which would accompany them until death. In Saudi Arabia, men and not married women must be separate at all times. That is why; there must be separate sections for both genders in places for reunion or celebration. Men are aloud to have several wives, very feat of them, living all together under the same roof. India and Saudi Arabia are different too, in their religion. India is a polytheistic country, where Hinduism and Buddhism are the main religions; different from Saudi Arabia, that is monotheistic having as their official religion, the Islam. Examine these countries' proverbial mottos:
India: "Truth alone triumphs",
Saudi Arabia: "There is no god other than Allah".
