What do you stand for?

I am interested to know how an Indian person would answer the question:
  • What do you stand for?
What does India stand for?

Democracy, I suppose. However badly, this is still a big achievement, considering how the vast majority of other developing nations are doing.

Strong religious background.

Cultural history, specially in music and dance.

Unique cultural and village life.

Ahimsa - nonviolence. India may be the only country in the world where multiple religions have preached non-violence, and where a whole political struggle was based on the principles of non-violence.
