Ya I agree with the above statement that most of our people are generally opting only for western culture styles such as in dressings and even in food items.
Its a just a sentences but we must not take into a big issues and sorry to use this statement kindly forgive.
Now a days because of wearing tight shirts and pants such as leg ins which causes diseases in future so we must knew well that what is good kind and we should just opt for it.
Thank you. |

Yes I do agree with the fact that we follow our icons and they are following western cultures but at the same time I want to say that this is also a mentality of take and give. It is not only we people that are following western style even western people are also interested in our culture, in our rituals. So to my mind it is human tendency to do new, different things.
At last one thing I want to quote that right now the world is dominated by developed countries specially the western ones in same respect there culture is also dominated in our mind.
Thank you. |

| It isn't the movies that are enforcing us to ape the western culture but we ourselves. But, at some point of view it is agreeable that since movies are promoting the western culture indirectly and people are getting affected by what is shown on the screen. They are turning to the western culture plus they are forgetting their own culture which is so sad. So its up to our brains too thin k wisely and act wisely. :). |

| I don't think that our obsession with celebrities is inherited from the western culture. We Indians have been obsessed with film stars and celebrities ever since the history of Indian film industry. We have been immortalising our stars cause we the poor peaple believed that the heroes are fighting for them. We wants the thing in films only to be true. We always want to do what our favourite heroes had done in films. This all was there even before we were much aware about western and foriegn films. Our mausis or aunties would tell how dying they were to see Rajesh Khanna or some other actors at that age. |

well I don't believe India is aping the Western Obsession.It is 21st Century the era of globalization and we people still stick ourselves with our cultures and values. if a person follow an western trend we say he does not have culture. it is not right as every nation has his own culture and everyone has his or her own rights. Instead of thinking of critisising others we should thinking of how to boost up our economy and think of development.
It is the thinking of us that helps the politicians to make use of controversial topics of religion and other things for their own benefits. So we must use our diverse population in order to understand one another and live in peace and harmony.And stop thinking about criticising others. |

First of all, Bollywood making films for business and to entertain us, and why we take the wrong part from the movie ? as we all know good and bad is always in the opposite direction, take it from Ramayana & Mahabharata is it our Indian culture ? If somebody think that movies and Information Technology are spoiling our culture, there will be always good and bad factor, thing is we need to learn the right one.
India is a developing country and India exports a huge amount of business from them so called western, if we are talking about to stop following western then we should stop everything. India will stop developing. |

| Well I partially agree with the topic that India is aping the western obsession. But on the other hand its we who have to choose what's right or wrong. And the present picture clearly shows that the people of India like what is been portrayed by the publishers be it western obsessed. So I guess yes India is aping western obsession but until and unless it doesn't harm Indian culture one should go with it as there are many things to learn from that too. |

| Ya I do agree that India aping the western obession with the celebrities, especially the childerns and the youth. Whatever their favrouit star does in his film for promiting his film like the adult sences, action they perform, the dress they wore in the film, the kind of language they use is really influence the fans. For example now the girls like to wore the jeans, shotrs tops, mini skirts instead of wearing the suits and sarees. Not only girls but also the boys of today stop wearing kurta pyjama and runs towards the jeans which has wore by shahid or akshay in so and so film. People stop spesking national language and started speaking that language, from which we want to get rid of before independence. So its a humble request to all indians not waste the hard work of thos people who have given their lives for making our natin independent. |

| Indian cinema represents the culture & tradition of the country. It is the source of knowledge from which new generations learn the truth of life. Youth follows what movie shows & accepts that. So there are some film makers who shows the bitter facts of life which is not acceptable, but at some point its our responsiblity to understand the thing it is trying to show, inspite of implementing it in wrong way & trying to follow western attitude setting bad examples for others. |

| I don't think that there is any threat to Indian culture with any movie. Our culture is not so fragile. Please how can you blame any movie for spoiling Indian culture you don't say anything when there is a movie on dowry sati pratha so how come a movie like kank is foul. Its just reality. |

| According to my point of view movie is the mirror of society and culture. The character played by a artist/celebrity is one of us. Yes I am agree with that it's not our present but it is what we are want to be that's why we are trying to follow the path of the celebrity shown on the screen. Because we like it. Not because we do not love our culture but in this way we are loosing our culture so we need to show the way of where we have to be not where we want to be to save our culture because it is precious for us. |

| Each have their own personel interest. Its ones choice to follow or not, no one restricts. As some fundamental rights have been given to people. Some really try to ape. If you take the example of new generations, they always love to make choices, whether it is in hair styles dressing styles or life styles. And for options they look forward to our celebrity life. Day by day we have updating new trends so obviously we will have a slight deviation towards them. |

| Our motherland India has its own diversity in culture. we are part of it. many of them forget it,rather they get catched by other cultures.Its horrible. Not only in movies but also in some cities western culture has great influence.its really worse. we should not let our own country go down rather give a rising to it. |

| I have same view for karan Johar. Till now what all movies he launched are not with a inspiring message. We can take example of "kabhi alvid na kehna". I felt it very worst out of his worst movies. He is really making youth obsessed towards western culture as well as ruining the Indian culture which is full of lessons and inspiration for other countries too. In globalized world, it does not mean that we have to forget our limitations and obsessed by western culture. We all should try to take good ideas from western culture not the bad. But some Bollywood people are messing up Bollywood and Hollywood in wrong direction. It is really dangerous sign for our coming generation. |

| In our country there is no dearth of the celebrity crazy people, who thinks that they are superhuman. People starts following every style of their icon. If we see today's cinema, they are mostly influenced by the western culture. Even they are depicting the thing which is not happening in India, like director like Karan Johar. This make young guys obsessed toward western culture. |
