Our Culture is Decaying

Hi, I am Vivek Upadhyay. I feel that yes our Indian culture is decaying if we asked today's generation what is Bhagwat Gita there is a big question mark on another side if we say to today's generation about best wrapper then yes people know these mean there is a lack of knowledge of India culture tradition and our ancestors.

Dear readers,

People are often misguided in many ways. I like not to speak about culture but universal moral values that should be adopted by everyone. These moral values are highlighted key aspects of any religion. From these religion stems culture that ensures that right pathway in which a person guided to maintain a happy life and ensures that it does not conflict with other's happiness. These generation's kids adopt Western influence because they it gives them freedom and grants them other happiness which is in conflict with the moral values. Drug abuse, smuggling, uncontrolled lust, greed, gluttony, swindling, murder, betrayal and there is plenty more to say here that goes on in this generation. The world has ultimately become corrupt and nasty. This is not because of westernization nor globalization. Believe me this nothing with them but with ourselves. It depends on upon us, individual. We must to an understanding that we are responsible for our actions and we are accounted for its consequences. The moral values guide us to if not ideal but at least a normal life deprived most of the sins we commit. I urge all brothers and sisters to think about the logical and ethical way of living. We can finally come to Peace if we just follow what's good. Believe me, people are idiotic, they need to guide properly or else its chaos. That's the problem. Both the government and people themselves these days don't know what Right.

Of course, our culture is not decaying as you have seen in my last comment. There are some brothers who are wearing trousers shirt the shirts but they are saying that their sisters should wear the cultural dress. But why? If they can wear the western dress so why can't girls wear western dresses? Ok, the girls will also follow Indian culture if boys also started wearing Kataria and Paijama.

Thanks a lot my brothers are not like others.

Hi,

It's our choice if we want to wear the cultural dress like salwar kameez or kurta pyjama or street or we want to wear western dress. As an Indian, we should respect our nation but as a human, we should respect every nation. Girls wearing shorts are also making Diwali and also greet elders my saying namaste. Even if they are wearing the western dress they are maintaining their culture.

At last, I would say our culture is not decaying.

It is not crime or shame in accepting western cultures in terms of external things such as technology and in abandoning some contemptible features of our old, misrepresented cultural values that was pestering real human values. In precise words, accept what is good and get rid of what is bad.

Being western is not the true mark of modernization. One can wear saree/kurta and still have the broad mind.

Now if you are invited to a meeting or a party in TAJ HOTEL in Mumbai how many of you would dress like Gandhiji and attend the official meeting or the party? here the comments I feel are mostly on the topic of today's fashion which is influencing youth.

I strongly believe that adopting western culture is not a sin, in fact, I must say that it is respecting other countries culture along with your own. A girl wearing jeans or shorts doesn't mean that she has forgotten her so called sanskar. If I m not wrong then I must say men must wear kurta pyjama where ever they go if they are so much into their culture, in fact, they should stop wearing coats and wear traditional dhoti Punjabi and roam in the streets. Our Indian culture is beautiful and is respected by all of us wearing a western cloth is all up to the people's choice. And ya we think that parents feel proud that their children are adopting the western culture and forgetting the Indian culture I will say no to it they are happy that their children are balancing both cultures. I live in QATAR near DUBAI I will say that all Indian students here are very much proud of their identity and follow their customs in fact whenever we meet our elders we make sure we greet them with NAMASTEY UNCLE NAMASTEY AUNTY and touch the feet of our gurus not only that we also pray to god regularly and celebrate all the festivals here.

Friends, culture can't decay. Our lifestyles are decaying by mixing of different cultures. Our traditional culture was designed as per our environment by experts in such a way that it protects us in many different ways. For example Indian, organic food is the best food for great health. Indian cotton clothing was the best for our Indian climate. Families used to live together. All were entrepreneurs and were together in all good and bad times. People were studying in gurukul and were taught about values on respecting elders and loving youngers. Worship the powers, protect environment etc. But now children study engineering, work in software, stay away from parents, parents suffer without children, many people suffer from lifestyle diseases, excess pesticide in food. All these are the side effects of the wrong culture in wrong place. Who has to correct this? We have to correct this, we have to protect our environment, we should do organic farming, we have to teach our children about values in life. If we fail to do so we will have to face the consequences. Friends wake up soon before everything is spoiled.

It's our culture, I think that we should promote using more and more the outfits related to our culture. Yeah using modern outfits is good but we should often choose our culture.
