'Respect one another' is another lesson that is taught from the books of Indian culture. All people are alike and respecting one another is one's duty. In foreign countries the relation __(7)__ the boss and the employee is like a __(8)__ and slave and is purely monetary whereas in Indian culture the relation between the boss and the employee is more like homely relations unlike foreign countries. Helpful nature is another __(9)__ feature in our Indian culture. Right from our early days of childhood we are taught to help one another __(10)__ help and distress, if not in monetary then at least in kind or non-monetary ways. Indian culture tells us to multiply and distribute joy and happiness and share sadness and pain.

Even though India is a country of various religions and castes our culture tells us just one thing 'Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani'.
