Answers
Some noteworthy characteristics and elements of Indian ethos are:
*If you do good, the whole world will be good to you.
*The basic principles of the ethos are derived from the Puranas, Upanishads and Bhagwad Gita.
*One must perfectly balance secular values and spiritual values.
*Knowledge, sound health and good character are the sources of true power. Money comes only after all these.

Ethos is a Greek word which means 'character' or 'accustomed place'.
It depicts the beliefs of a community/people which come from different cultures.
As India having so many religions and communities it believes in two universal truths.
First being that there is a divine power above us and everything is interconnected.
Second being work is worship that it should be worthy and honorable and should stem from strong values.
