India is not uninterrupted. No culture is.
After the Moghul and British invasions, India dis not simple return to “normal”.
There is no “India” culture. Cultures are not bounded entities and can freely exchange ideas between themselves in the most promiscuous ways.
As for the caste system. It is pretty obvious that it represents a serious impediment for progress and change. Perhaps the reason you think India is uninterrrupted is because of that static nature, which has made India vulnerable to invasions.

India was too busy infighting with their families and their own, and weakened themselves and their numbers after many lengthy battles, which made them ripe pickings for invasions. They were very feudal, and some say they still are, but I think less so.
I think not.
Warring disparate states to empire to mongol vassal to empire to communism to state capitalism; hardly unbroken.
“Culture” is what you perceive it to be, but changeless or unbroken it cannot be.
China was never colonized by any imperialists. Instead, they break China into several spheres of influence. Each western country had its own sphere of influence. … Finally, these nomads became gradually “Chinese.” This included the Mongols or Yuan dynasty, and the Manchus of Qing dynasty.
On another note: Which country has invaded the most countries?
…in a survey of 200 of the world’s countries through that, in one shape or form, Great Britain has invaded all but 22 of them. That amounts to about 90 percent of the world’s countries. It’s easy to scratch your head at this figure.

Back to India… India was easily conquerable from the West but not the East, which was impossible because of the Ganges Delta and the Himalayas.
Ghengis Khan?? Mongolians are not Chinese.
And whatever “CHina” might be, the fact that there are several languages and dialects challenge this statement.
The British colonised Hong Kong.
And early CHina was always being conquered before the “idea” of A pan chinese state was even thinkable.
All cultures had been uninterrupted until the time when they were interrupted. There is only one culture that has not been interrupted: the Western Christian culture. That may soon change.
When cultures are interrupted, they have fallen into nihilism, decadence, that is, they cease to be cultures and begin to be civilizations, that is, something like “world cultures,” and thus they become open, soft and conquered.
China was never colonized by any imperialists. Instead, they break China into several spheres of influence. Each western country had its own sphere of influence. … Finally, these nomads became gradually “Chinese.” This included the Mongols or Yuan dynasty, and the Manchus of Qing dynasty.
In 1206 Genghis Khan united the tribes of the Mongol steppe and set their warlike sights far beyond their homeland. When Genghis died in 1227, they had all but conquered the Jin dynasty of northern China.
…and not all are conquerable, whether they be apples or oranges.

The only culture that has not been interrupted to my knowledge is India. They have the same gods and the same social structure as they did for thousands of years. Yes, they were under British rule for a while, but this didn’t influence their social structure or their religion. It just taught them English and cricket.
Surely, India adapts to circumstance and modernizes. But it hasn’t become cultural-relative. In fact the past years it has become increasingly aware again of the importance of remaining religiously pure.
Bottom line - India has never abandoned its true gods. They are our “big uncle” from whom we may learn.
India has several different religions represented.
Hinduism itself is nothing but a dustbin od disparate tradictions; then there is a range of Buddhisms; Christianities, Janeist. Islams and Seikism (possibly the only whole one).
SO there is no such thing as Indian religious culture.
Only communists and Bideners can be of the hasty opinion that the West has been interrupted. They want to disrupt the West, but so far they have not succeeded. Not yet.
Besides, by now the whole world is a Western culture when it comes to the application of Western technology. Everywhere on this planet machines are used, electricity is used, trains are used, telephones are used, cars are used, airplanes are used, rockets are used, nuclear energy is used, atomic bombs, chemical and biological weapons are used, computers are used, genetic engineering is used, the internet is used. Who wants to destroy the western culture, must first of all abolish the Western technology, the whole modern age.
If Biden and Co. are in the process of destroying Western culture, one should always keep in mind that this destruction itself is still a part of Western culture. Western culture is not finished. Not yet. You left-wing nutcases can think and say that as much as you want. You will perish with and in your own desires.
It’s all about success, about the intelligence that is to be eliminated. But this story is not over yet. Not yet.
To be able to achieve all this, they have to lie and cheat even more than they do now (and that’s bad enough).
You can see from the reactions in the West, including here at ILP, that the majority of the Westerners themselves (!) wants to destroy the Western culture. The only problem for them is that they have not yet been able to do it successfully. Not yet. And they try to do it by using Western technology.This is as contradictory as it is ironic and cynical, because it is nihilistic.
If the world is going to become more and more like, for example, Biden wants it to be, then it will find itself relatively soon in a huge chaos. A huge chaos!
“When cultures are interrupted, they have fallen into nihilism, decadence, that is, they cease to be cultures and begin to be civilizations, that is, something like “world cultures,” and thus they become open, soft and conquered.”
Just vainglory led me to this currently, but discontinuity can generally be held from either intrinsic and extrinsic sources. True they are not clear cut, but one side generally dominates.
Here I regret the dual aspect seeking the third missing Russia/USSR/&Russia again, because prior to the Russian Revolution, Peter the Great sought to simulate Erurope, while China had the great War with England over opium.
The fact is, just like in the US narcotization levels the Capitalistic field, China back around the Boxer Rebellion. So the comparison is devoid of ideology, to the disadvantage of material dialectics.
However such lean is understandable by the lack of equilibrium between transcendent and derivitive opinion.
For Western culture, for reasons of Western technology alone, which is unrivaled (something that has never existed before, not even remotely), is uninterrupted and will remain so for a long time, no matter how many left-wing nutcases try to deny even this fact. There are simply too many who want to see the West down.But just think what values would be lost if the West is down: no freedom of speech, no typical Western individuality, no Western identity.
