Clothes, movies, food, malls, food chains, technolgy, etc. are assets of no culture in the world. They are developmental phenomena and bound to be accepted by all if really helpful.
However when it comes to ethical values, we are losing it. Not by accepting the western culture, but by accepting things without studying them properly. In fact, the acceptance is more due to the selfish urge within us. We wanna enjoy the kind of freedom they enjoy, the rights they enjoy. But these things come with a few gul\idelines. We never accepted those guidelines. Isn’t that selfish?
Another point to ponder over is that when we wear ‘Om’ we are fanatics, but when they wear ‘Cross’ it’s cool. When we go to temples we are considered as backlogged but when they visit churches it’s devine bliss. When we bear more then 3 children we are illiterates but when they bear 6 children it’s their pride. When we light a ‘diya’ it’s a stupid custom but when they light ‘candles’ it’s the pefect way to reach god. When we join our hands we are primitive but when they shake hands they are modern. When we consider our elders and respect them we are stupids and when they split from their families it’s necessary to leave parents behind. When we tell our women to stay in the house we are hypocrites but when thier women move out and they find time to find another partner it’s liberty.
The thing is that we naver consider these things before adopting their beliefes. We blindly beleived what they believed about us but we never cared to look at the picture of hypocrisy in there…
