Westernisation has brought both the sides along.

• India was said to be a land of snake charmers. A major proportion of the
population was superstitious, Orthodox and conservative. With
westernization, the number of people believing in superstitions and miracles
have reduced. People have become more practical.
• Westernisation has brought modern technology along and we are now a tech-
savvy country.
• People in India have now started accepting love marriages and living
relationships.

But at the same time, it has led to our culture erosion.
• India is a country of values. We believe in living together and living in
harmony. With westernization making its influence, people have started living
in nuclear families and breaking up of joint families is now a common sight!
• People have started finding their comfort in western dressing styles and have
forgotten their own traditional dresses. Most of the young ladies today want to
wear jeans and skirts instead of suits and sarees. Wearing traditional clothes
is considered as old-fashioned and that is quite disturbing!
• Although we have started accepting love marriages at the same time the
number of divorce cases are also increasing

• People today are fond of Chinese, Italian, Mexican foods etc and are
forgetting the taste of their own spices. With the popularity of the junk food the

foreign food outlets like KFC, subway etc are increasing in number and a large
portion of our national income is going abroad.

• We speak English and are taking courses in French, German, Spanish etc!
We have forgotten our national language and our regional languages.
• In fact, people who speak their national /regional language are considered as
less educated!
• Indian values teach us to greet our elders by touching their feet, but with
westernization, we prefer ‘hi’ and ‘helo’ more! We use mom, dad, and other
slangs because we want to be ‘look cool’.
