Is India Aping the Western Obsession with Celebrities?

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 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.

. Great. We ppl are so very good with blaming thing, we blame politicians for our poverty, we blame weather for mahangai,

Always problem begins with I. Nt with third person.

When we blame karn johar fior kank. We simply ignore. Our great kings for having extra marital afairs. Paswan cultur. Having a no of wifes.

Boss. Its nt western culture that is effecting our society. Or celibs exposing it to us. Its olways been us.

Drupadi was in sari. She got insulted. Its nthing like. Influence. Its like what one self like. He/she adopts it. Its nt the celibs ho make ny body do ny thing. Pl doing ditto kindo of things are simply apps.

And one mr thing clothing iz about cmfort. Culture n customs are encraved on hearts. N soul. N are reflected in life nt through cloths//plz///.

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.

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. :).

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.

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.

I don't think that India is aping the western countries. Western countries are all developed countries whereas India is developing country. So during the phase of development it has to pass through all the facts and technology that already have been developed in western countries. For example if I talk about LCA aircraft, though it is not as advance as western country have but its also not the copy of the US, france etc. India has its own brains, own technology though weak. So I don't think India is copying some other country. Moreover, there is nothing wrong in looking at others before taking next step. Its seem that India is copying but actually not.

Well, all I want to say is that there is wrong as well as right part of everything that exist in this world, we must not take the adoption of western culture by our youths as something wrong or something evil.

Because its quite natural to adopt something that is prevailing in the society but at the same time we must be equally connected with Indian culture. And 1 more thing I want to mention is that our development is hugely connected to them, and we just can't deny the fact.

In my point of view, western cultures can be adopted but we should not forget our own traditional culture. I mean by limitations. Mostly we have tourists from all over world, who have started to adopt our culture. But according to reality in movie they make it possible in trends, but as Indian its just a bad influence for upcoming generation.
