A tradition is a practice that has been passed down through generations and is observed by the majority of people in a society or culture, whereas a custom can be short-lived and observed only at the family or individual level. Furthermore, while all traditions may qualify as customs, not all customs are traditions.
Hello, What are the differences between customs and traditions?
Are there any good books explaining the science behind Indian customs and traditions?
The practice of tradition is very popular and key to our sense of belonging. Tradition helps us to feel like we belong in this world when we’ve come from somewhere else. It also helps us to fit in when we’ve always been in the same place. And it provides a sense of belonging for those who may feel like an outsider.
