    French has been known for its invasions on various lands at
    different times. India has always been an important place for
    French people. The connection between Indian and French
    Culture dates back centuries ago where trade happened
    between the two countries. Cultural exchange happened along
    with material exchange. There has been a strong relation
    between these cultures which exchanged
    Although India had got Independence 70 years
    back, still the French has been an important part
    of culture in many parts of India especially in
    Pondicherry and few more Union Territories.

    The influence of French can be seen in almost all


    parts of these places for the past few centuries.

    Trade has been happening between the


    countries for a long time, even before Colonial
    Period. Along with trade exchanged culture,
    customs and lifestyle.
    The past 200 years saw a vast expansion of
    French influence in the Indian Soil politically ,
    economically, in terms of food, architecture and
    many more fields.
    French architecture and planning has always been
    appreciated by the world. India has witnessed new
    ways which distinguishes it from Indian Architecture.

    Pondicherry is one good example for the architecture


    influence.

    Examples include the oval shaped city center with right-angled street
    intersections, and the boulevard that encircles the main part of town,
    architecture of the 18th and 19th century Christian churches and public
    buildings, a promenade along the beach, and even a statue of Joan of Arc.
    The french had influence on the clothing too. Flat
    - topped hats are worn by the police in
    Pondicherry which is considered a hallmark.

    Also, the casual wears have a great impact on


    the clothing part.
    French Influence was found long back in 1800s too.
    The Industrial Revolution which happened in France
    had great impact on Indian society, resulting in the war
    of 1857.

    Also, the economical status of France during that time


    and the war depression during the World Wars left a
    strong impact.

    India also follows the same political system , where


    even a Non - hindu can become a leader. Secularism
    is also an important point in the list of influences.
