Indian Culture, which is one
of the oldest & richest cultures, is now days posing a serious threat as
western culture is establishing its strong base in India and slowly and
gradually wiping the Indian culture and changes its shape. After globalization
(started since 1992 in India), It had already made its presence in Metro’s and
now slowly heading towards other parts of India. The culture of India has been
shaped not only by its very long history, unique geography and diverse
demography, but also by its ancient heritages, culture and traditions. Regarded
by some historians as the "oldest living continuous civilization of Earth",
the Indian tradition dates back to 8,000 BC and has a continuous recorded
history for over 2,500 years (starting from Rig Vedic period).
Westernization has greatly affected
our traditions, customs, our family and our respect and love for others. The
concept of joint families is remarkably decreasing and everyone wants to remain
aloof from others. Nobody now bother about others and only cares about
himself/herself which is totally contradictory to our Indian culture which
depicts that, to be a part of each other Joys and Sorrows to celebrate
the moments together and share the grief together. Day by day all our value for
which India has the pride is vanishing & western culture is incubating in
India with faster rate. There’s no harm in taking good things from
western but this does not mean that we should completely adopt it and pretend
to be western and misrepresents our identity. It is understandable that India
is growing in every field and there is necessity of knowing all the cultures and
their traditions.
