Secondary culture

Correct Answer:

Composite culture

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1: Composite culture

Composite culture is a type of culture that celebrates plurality. It refers to the blending and coexistence of various cultural elements, practices, and traditions within a society. Composite cultures recognize and value diversity, allowing for the expression and preservation of different cultural identities. India is often cited as an example of a country with a composite culture due to its rich history of diverse cultural influences.

NCERT: "Although it is common to make these categorisations, it should be appreciated that these categories are not real and are created by us. In some cultures, plurality is celebrated as has been the case in India. We have a unique composite culture which is reflected not only in the lives we live, but also in our art, architecture, and music."
