Culture of India and Western Culture

Mounting westmostward destination degrading India on the whole. Have you ever seen the pictures of Jatindranath Mukerjee or Chandrasekhar Azad or Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose? Apart from cosmos leading revolutionaries of the Indian immunity struggle, these three great personalities had something more in common. Almost in each picture you will find each of them cloaked in perfect Indian attire or dhoti-kurta. Do you find the same dress among Indians still? Unfortunately, it is becoming almost extinct more and more and the day is not far when its best position will be in the museum of any Indian metropolis.What inference can you draw from this lamentable example? Western influence is rising in the Indian society by leaps and bounds and its intensity is rising with the passing of each year almost. There is all any doubt that the entire course is moving contrary to the dreams of the founding fathers of independent India in August 15, 1947. They had thought that the country, win ning independence after the freedom struggle of almost two centuries at a stretch, would regain its vigor and set up its basis, rooted in its own intrinsic culture, with conviction.What we are witnessing at the moment is not sad or unfortunate only but just the opposite also. Within the seven decades of national independence influences of Indian culture have started to drain almost. Even if there is any, it is under the greater protection of the western umbrella. Well, you dont have to go anywhere else a fewer glimpses of the Indian television scenario or cable televisions are going to be enough. Gone are the old age when the Indian television pains utilize to speak in favor of national harmony, secular traditions and unity in diversity.These days, the messages of national unification have ceased to come to the fore and the programs have been replaced by reality shows dominated by women clad in skimpy dresses. These sorts of shows go against the age-old Indian traditions and in a word, affront Indian values only. merely Indians are so wild that they have little time for the national stature. Is India developing then or on the wane? You have to make the decision. farming and Tradition are more significant in a country like India which has always een cherishing its rich culture and heritage and its quite substantially known for it worldwide. But these things are just on paper and are slowly losing their twinkling. Why? India is known by her people. We, the younger generation are the representatives of India in a true sense of the word. Even in history, we come across various incidents where the juvenility took the lead to bring astir(predicate) a change and crush India independence from the British rule. We, the Indian youth have always been the power and pride of India.We are the sole cherishers of Indias pride and its heritage which actually lies in its culture, its diversity, its uniqueness. In such a scenario, where the point of a rich cultured co untry like India is facing the business of losing its culture, are we, the youth the Indian youth not ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? Are we not putting our own self image, our self respect, our mother Indias pride at stake by doing so? Just think about it my dear friends. There is no problem as such when we follow the western culture to some extent.The problem is we are forgetting our culture to a greater extent. Why should we do so? 21st century youth doesnt mean forgetting the mother rural area and following or in short adopting western lifestyle in totality. Every culture has its own pros and cons. We individuals should be strong enough to take the good and throw false the bad. But what are we doing now? Its a shame to see that Indias pride We Indian Youth doesnt have even a bit of importance for Indias pride and heritage, its culture and we are easily influenced by western culture.Right from our clothing, till the music, the films, our attitude, our lifestyle, in short every eyeshot of our life has totally changed. Change doesnt happen on its own its we who bring about the change. But by this change, our mother India has lost its sheen and beauty its place its uniqueness in the world. AND WE, THE INDIAN YOUTH, PRIDE OF INDIA ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. Friends, its high time now and we got to think about this now or never.
