As far as culture goes they don't have a significant representation of most cultures on earth.
You seem to have watered down your views somewhat, Hermoine. Shall we take a look at "the facts"?
Quote:Indian people. Indian people or Indians are citizens of India, a populous country in South Asia containing 17.31% of the world's population, and people of Indian heritage. The Indian nationality consists of many regional ethno-linguistic groups, reflecting the rich and complex history of India.
...
India has more than two thousand ethnic groups[citation needed] and every major religion is represented, as are four major families of languages (Indo-Aryan – a branch of the larger Indo-European language group –, Dravidian, Austroasiatic, and Tibeto-Burman) as well as a language isolate (the Nihali language[34] spoken in parts of Maharashtra). India's castism history is extremely complex; nevertheless, distinct racial divisions between peoples still exist as established by modern anthropologists, despite the fact that the national Census of India does not recognize racial or ethnic groups within India,[35] but recognizes many of the tribal groups as Scheduled Castes and Tribes (see list of Scheduled Tribes in India).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_peopleSo - 17% of the world's population (more than Europe); over 1500 different languages; racial groups as distinct as Andaman Islanders in the Indian Ocean, Tibetans/Mongolians and white Central Asians in the north, a host of Aboriginal tribal groups, along with the Aryans and Dravidians in the mainstream Indian population; and a significant proportion of every religion in the world, from Animism to Christianity to Zoroastrianism.
But they "
don't have a significant representation of most cultures on earth?"
You might want to revise this one as well, dear.
