People with a curiosity to know the real India, just turned their head towards the rural area, called ‘countryside’,
‘villages’ or in the local dialect, ‘gaon’, or ‘Dehat’ where people divide regions but unite ‘Hindustani’. In these areas, animal husbandry or agriculture is the main source of occupation including other sources of livelihood like fishing, cottage industries, pottery, horticulture, etc. Distinct and unique cultures of all religions and communities are present Which perfectly shows ‘Unity in Diversity’.
According to some sources, the rural population is at 65.79% which signifies that
more than half of the population was in the primary sector (on which most of the Indian GDP
focusses).
There is no central authority in these areas so Panchayat makes all the decision-making done by a group of people. There is a low ratio of inhabitants to open land which produces foodstuffs, fibers, raw materials, etc. Fertility rates and pregnancy is higher among women in rural areas than the urban areas which result in a younger population in villages than cities or towns.
