Eroding Indian Culture.
08-02-12
Let
me write about eroding Indian culture. I was born into a middle class family.
Middle class does mean either rich or poor. Middle class as nothing to do with
money! Middle class is a mind-set. Our parents instilled family value and
ethics. We children follow it throughout our life.
When
we children bring our friends to our home our parents observe few things about
our friends. The language our friends use and their behavior in our home. If
our parents feel that our friends are not compatible with our ‘culture ‘they
will advise us to curtail our friendship with them in clear terms. Usually we children obey our parents.
We
only move with friends from middle class family. Our parents do not want us to mix with guys
from slum or rich family. They know due to peer pressure their children’s life
can be ruined. Most of the slum and high society people do not have culture.
Times
have changed. Younger generation freely mix with rich and poor. Family values
and ties are no more respected. Once our parents regretted about the change in
our culture, today we are worried about our cultural erosion.
Change is inevitable. Should it be at
the cost of our own family?
