Timor Leste culture is actually an amalgamation of people from different society and religion. The tourists are often amazed to see this blend of separate culture that forms a unique and unified
Timor Leste culture. The origin of this
Timor Leste culture is rooted in the history of the nation. Timor Leste was a colony of the Portuguese and the Dutch. Later in different times, the Australians and the Japanese also invaded in this small piece of land. All these countries had their own
culture and society and though they left
East Timor, the influence of this different religion left a mark on the local
culture and society.
When we deal with the
culture of Timor Leste, we need to consider the
Timor Leste society, the social
problems in Timor Leste which includes the problem of
poverty in the country. The majority of population here are Roman catholics. There are also Muslims and Hindu-Buddhists here in the country. But they are almost negligible when compared to the total population. However, child education has been a major concern here for the government. The women rights are also taken care of by the government these days. Another major
problem in
East Timor is poverty. Government is working hard to overcome this
problem. For more information on
