The following are the reasons for it:
1. Indian culture has a rich history. The roots of Indian tradition are based on Vedic philosophies and values.
2. Indian culture is based on natural human relationships unlike the culture of the US and other west. In India, you are expected to respect elders not only by your works but by also your words. Never say Mr Gupta to someone who is older than you even if by a couple of years. Indians always take for granted that time teaches and experience teaches us. Therefore, the one who is elder do know certainly better than us and he deserves respect.
3. Indian is proud of the conservative family tradition of the culture. In India, a son is treated like a son and a father or a mother is treated like a father or a mother respectively. The joint family tradition of India is the root of learning of cultural values. This is the reason why Obama once said mothers of US to learn from mothers of India.
4. Indian culture respects the value of the personal human relationship. In an Indian Society, marriage is one of the most important institutions and every person is expected to stand by his or her partner. Indians do not take divorce as something quite common.
5. The perspective of Indian culture is ancient but not narrow. The Indian philosophy is not only for human but for the living world as a whole.
6. Indian culture is primitive and roots back to the first civilized human. The Paleolithic civilization like Mehrgarh took place in Indian
oil. Perhaps you will be surprised to know about the town planning, arts and technology of Indus Vally civilization.
If you are curious to know about the Indian culture and philosophy of India, perhaps the writings of the German philosopher Max Muller will be useful.
If you are just sceptic about it, google out the contributions of ancient India and also the cultural heritage of India.
If you want to know about Indian philosophical teachings, just browse Bhagabat Gita and Srimad Bhagabat. You will realize that they start where the teaching of the Bible
or the Koran ends.
