“जुगाड़” - ‘Jugaad’ The Indian Way of Life

“Jugaad is a colloquial Hindi and Punjabi word, literally meaning a hack. It is generally used as word to represent an innovative fix or a simple

work-around, used for solutions that bend rules, or a resource that can be used as such, or a person who can solve a complicated issue. This

meaning is often used to signify creativity to make existing things work or to create new things with meager resources” (Wikipedia)

Jugaad - "The use of skill and imagination to find an easy solution to a problem or to fix or make something using cheap, basic items” (Oxford

Dictionary)

Jugaad – “Scarcity is the mother of innovation”

What would I include to demonstrate the legacy of my country India?

Apart from India’s rich culture, tradition & history. The undying spirit of the people of India, “The show must go on attitude” is what I would include to try to demonstrate the legacy of my country.

Being one of the most diverse societies with over 100 languages, different religions, cultures & traditions.

It is the largest democracy in the world and among the most densely populated countries in the world.

“Jugaad” eventually becomes the way of life. In all the chaos of managing varied interests, Life in India goes on despite all the hardships the people of India face everyday.
