Sanskritisation

Sanskritisation is the process of taking on qualities and behaviours that are seen as something positive in Hindu culture (the religion and culture of India). For example, if a person wants to have a better job or more respect in their community, they might start speaking Hindi, eating certain types of food, and wearing clothes that are considered "high-class" according to Hindu values. This can also involve adopting Hindu habits and customs like praying in Hindu temples and taking part in Hindu festivals. Sanskritisation is important for many Indians, as it can help them become more respected in their community.
