• We watch English movies. Our music tastes have changed. We enjoy rock
music rather than classical or folk music. Same goes for dance. Western
dance forms have taken over classical styles like Bharatnatyam, Kathakali
etc.
• We hardly know about the Indian calendar and follow the English calendar
starting from January
• We have adopted the cake cutting culture for our birthdays and forgotten how
Indian birthdays were celebrated with morning prayers and some donations.
• Brain drain is a concept that has come along with westernization. People
today want to study in foreign colleges and universities and our talented
working population is now serving the Western countries.
Conclusion
It is good that we want to learn something from the West. But blindly following the
western culture is leading to an identity crisis and our culture erosion.
Do not forget your roots. Our values make us who we are. Be proud to be an Indian
and be proud of your traditions.
