Our Culture is Decaying

From my opinion our culture is decaying. We know very well we are adopting slowly western culture and this is one of the notification, we are moving across western culture, every person never follow Indian culture they follow Indian with western. We are using 60% western and 40% Indian.

"Western culture is invading our culture"?

The difference:

"Tradition" is what we have been following historically like arrange marriages, festival, spiritual etc.

"Culture" is what we have cultivated like disrespecting - one another, women, children.

"Modernization" is a evolution from stone age to today, its related to science and technology and from western we are gaining freedom of thoughts, asking questions else god men would force us behind blind believes.

Now what is our culture? Don't we corrupt every where? Don't you believe? Witness these following: Hijacking the Que, Quarreling in traffic, can't say no, throwing the garbage every where, Indian standard time, making fun of others, paying bribe, reservation, recommendation, the poor is suppressed and many more.

Is Suppressing young employees is our work culture?, these killer sentences at Indian work place:

1. Do what I say!

2. I will send you home.

3. This will never work.

4. What experience you have?

5. Who the hell is going to pay for this?

And many more. The tradition is our pride no one can take over but we need cultural correction to keep our tradition.

Hi friend,

I think the Indian culture is decaying. Because most of the people are accept the foreign culture. I want to say that our culture is much better than other culture. I believes that some of the field we have to flow the foreign culture like science, technology, improvement etc.

We have not follow the attitude, dress like foreign culture. As a Indian we have to respect our culture as our culture is our wealth.

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.

Hi everyone, I agree that our culture is decaying because we neglect our culture and tradition and we are not following it. Now we are adopting the western culture blindly without knowing whether it is good or bad. We have adopted the western culture like live together, open relationship and having sex before marriage which is not good for our society and our children. Adopting these culture is responsible for increasing the crime rate.

If we want to live happily, we have to bring our culture back. We should make awareness program so that people can understand the greatness of our culture and tradition. We should respect and follow our culture. And I am not saying that we should not adopt the western culture, but we should respect their culture and should accept their culture only if that is good for our society.

Hi friends,

In my point of view, we are adopting the western culture (like their way dressing, food habits, etc). But our way of thinking is not changed till now. All other countries are following our culture but we are not seeing the beauty of our culture. We should save our culture from decaying. By saying the glory and beauty of our culture.

To our children (the younger generation). India is the mixture of different cultures and traditions. What we adopt from western or other countries it should be useful and benefit for the welfare of our country.

I am very proud to be an INDIAN.

I really agree with her India was the country of culture and was famous for its old paintings, designs, cloths, etc. First women were free to move any where in the world, because of western cloths nowadays women's life are in danger. Women are raped and they are kidnapped.

Because of westerns our classic culture has vanished from our life. Now the new generation has changed their mindsets towards Indian culture. Earlier India was known for its dances like Bharathanatiyam, Kathakkali, etc. But now many of us specially youngsters are interested in hip-hop, Jaas, contemporary, etc.

With foreigners accepting our traditional ways and methodology of living and surviving, we ourselves are just busy in aping their traditions in the name of freedom. But we forget that with freedom comes great responsibility and in this scenario our responsibility is not only to maintain a balance between two cultures but also respect and treat our cultures equally from the depth of our hearts and not just for the heck of it so that we can carry forward our identity with our future generations the way our ancestors did.

I think Indian culture is not decaying. We see every year people celebrate every festival with a lot of happiness. Festival is an important part of an Indian culture. I want to say our culture is decaying, our lifestyle is changing. Do girls wear shorts that mean they forgotten their culture? No, she respects their elders, celebrates every festival.

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.
