Our Culture is Decaying

Yes, our culture is decaying day by day. Mainly we are responsible for this decaying. If any of our Indian can adopt something from west, he or she takes pride for it. And in same case, if he had some ancient cultures due to good family background he or she tried hard to hide the fact from others and feel ashamed. In every part of our culture like music, movie, language are decaying. We thought that if one knows good English then he is very educated. Bt if inspite of huge knowledge in other fields only for weakness in English he or she is ignorant of us. This is our ignorance. Many words of English has been adapted from Sanskrit-our most ancient language. The most astonishing thing is that we are talking about how western culture decaying our culture and we are giving or compelled to give our opinion in English language.

I think our culture is decaying because the school days that my father had experienced like no competition among kids in studies, playing manual games instead of video games and goes on the great gurukul system is vanished respect has vanished instead of amma and appa dad and mom came value of Indian culture is slowly disappearing sarees and dhotis are replaced but still I hope for some values somewhere may the hope be true, yes we should change according to time and situation but should not forget the root that is still holding us without falling.

No, I don't think it's decaying.

No, I don't think so.

1. If any one is saying it in dressing sense, then he or she is totally little information. In ancient India, this country is full of nudity E.G Dancing girl statue, Khajuraho temple, Konark etc. People were wearing one piece of Cloth until Maurya empire, I.E no blouse for women, Women and men were both have same clothes.

2. After the composition of Manusmriti around 400 CE, untouchable Caste had worst position in society, also women position in society had become less than men unlike in Maurya Period.

No, I don't think so, because In dressing ancient Indian were far more ahead in nudity E.G: Statue of barely clothed dancing girl of Mohenjo-Daro, Khajuraho temple, Konark temple etc. Clothing was same for both men and women I. E a rectangular piece of cotton until Maurya Period, no underwear, no blouse like dress for women. Untouchable and women are getting equal right. Then we are indulging in idol worship, astrology which is not Vedic culture but Gupta culture. So it depends on us, which aspect of Indian culture we are talking about.

Yes, I think our culture is decaying and it's not only about the clothes we wear but also many other things. Less than 40 percent youth is aware today about Sanskrit language which is one of the purest languages in world. In food interests, youngsters are more interested in burgers, pizza and coke even after knowing how harmful it is. Children spend most of their childhood with video games. Concept of joint family is vanishing. People prefer to say "bye" and "hello" rather than namaste and touching elder's feet.

Yes, Our culture is DECAYING. I still remember the days when we were first introduced to Television. A popular serial "Hum Log" used to be aired. I was still a kid in class 4th or 5th. I remember most characters wore traditional clothes except for "Nanhe" a young boy. We idolised him started wearing jeans instead of kurta pyjama. Congratulations, Culture erosion had just begun. We took pride in learning English, started ignoring Sanskrit, as it was our optional language till 9th. We chose to educate our kids in convent schools and Kendriya Vidyalaya remained with government employees. There's nothing bad in updating oneself technically but aping the west is one should strongly despise. We should remember that our roots teach brotherhood and love not greed and lust. All that west has taught us is to compete against each other and stoop low to reach the bottomless pit of deceit and betrayals. We could revive our culture by doing small things like saying name with hands folded in prayer and touch feet of elders and gurus. We use Hindi as much as possible. Visit temples as frequently as possible. Teach our kids to bow low in respect and not reach so high is life so that when time comes we are not bound to stay at elderly homes and our last rites conducted by people we don't even know.

Indian culture is the message of humanity, importance of relation, paragon of morality, and living evidence of peace and brotherhood: It is whole discipline in itself, but western culture are lack of them and trying to eradicate the goodness of Indian culture by attracting comfort was and addicted to luxurious.

Yes, definitely it's decaying.

When I was young I used to play games lock and key chess but now kids use to play with video games.

Second thing the dressing sense of man and women have changed. Day by day its getting shorter.

Trade of joint family have been declined.

And if we opt western culture. Where the people see with by bad way. Or the intention is wrong. Because they haven't seen this culture.

I feel its a question of changing behavior of the average person in our society. These days people have become more selfish and there is a tremendous lack of empathy for other people, for the society. Back in old days people fought to protect their family, country and god. These days its just total and absolute addiction to entertainment and fun seeking activities and temporary gratification of senses. I have nothing against all of this, but for entertainment and fun to become the sole focus of living, that's what is disturbing. Another worrying trend is that these days people in general just can't seem to get along with each other. It seems that stress and tension and quarreling over insignificant issues has become a constant factor in the daily life of the average person. As a direct result of this people are now more distant and divided from each other and more self-centered. People prefer online communication more via internet/mobile than real face to face communication. The human bonding that is the adhesive of a strong and healthy society is fast evaporating. I feel people should wake up to the fact they are being distracted by endless entertainment and divided by petty quarrels. All of this may sound negative bit I feel this is what is actually happening and this is certainly not our way of living and definitely not our culture.
