Coming up from its colonial past India today is one of the fastest growing nations in the world. After being dominated by the British for about 200 years the Indians especially urban people have developed a habit of copying the West.
The problem is more widespread in cities and big towns.The people especially the youth are becoming more and more westernized.. Right from the way of their dressing till their attitude. This is because they are taken in by the glamour and Multi National companies.
The youth so often called as YOUNGISTAN has been neglecting its own very rich culture and traditions in order to adapt the Western ideas. They have their mindset that what the WEST is doing is right and one should follow it without hesitation. The youth of India does not perceive its identity as traditional Indians any more. They think that their centuries old traditions are outdated and prevent modern development.They should learn from countries like Japan which is one of the leading economies of the world and also one of the most advanced country in terms of modernization but it still follows and respects its old traditions and cultures.
In the end, I would like to say BE WHAT YOU ARE and not simply copy the WEST. Its high time that we realize that we need to foster and protect the culture and heritage because without it India would no longer remain as INCREDIBLE INDIA.
