The influence of Vedic traditions persists in modern India from "summary" of The Ancient History of India, Vedic Period by K. C. Singhal,Roshan Gupta

The impact of Vedic traditions on modern India is undeniable. Despite the passage of thousands of years, the essence of these ancient teachings continues to shape various aspects of Indian society. From rituals and ceremonies to social norms and cultural practices, the influence of the Vedas can be seen in many facets of Indian life. One of the most prominent ways in which Vedic traditions persist in modern India is through religious practices. Hinduism, the predominant religion in India, is deeply rooted in Vedic principles and beliefs. Many Hindu rituals and ceremonies are based on Vedic texts, and certain hymns and mantras from the Vedas are still recited during religious ceremonies. Furthermore, the caste system, which has been a defining feature of Indian society for centuries, can be traced back to the Vedic period. The Vedic texts categorize society into four varnas or social classes, each with its own duties and responsibilities. While the caste system has evolved over time, its basic structure can still be seen in modern Indian society. In addition to religious and social practices, the influence of Vedic traditions can also be observed in the fields of literature, art, and architecture. Many ancient Indian texts, such as the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, draw heavily from Vedic themes and ideas. Similarly, traditional Indian art and architecture often incorporate motifs and symbols from Vedic mythology.
  1. The persistence of Vedic traditions in modern India is a testament to the enduring power of these ancient teachings. Despite the passage of time and the influence of external forces, the essence of the Vedas continues to shape the cultural, religious, and social landscape of India today.
