To excel in the race of so called modernization, we have undoubtedly undergone westernization. The people of the nation feel proud in sporting foreign goods, eating western food and the west is where they wish to live as they see it as a medium to accomplish all their dreams. But, to satisfy our mere dreams, can we fall down to such an extent that we forget our own nation. It is always advisable to draw positives and beneficial points from everything. But, perhaps, in this case we have failed to do so. We to achieve personal ends have started blindly aping the west. On one hand, where people of the western countries want to bring the Indian culture to their land, on the other there are Indians leaping helter-skelter to realize the western dream. Our culture of family and our worship to parents and elders life long is wanted and draws praises in those countries.
There is nothing wrong in going there to pursue quality education but it is always shameful to forget the nation after that. Besides that, we should always try to bring good qualities and their keys to the rampant rate of development here in our country.
A series of questions and you will be bound to rethink…. Are our principles the same as they were during the time of our forefathers? Do we, today, pay the same respect and gratitude to our teachers, elders and parents? Do we want to study and add to the progress of country today? The answers of these straight away questions really force us to admit the point that we are dilapidating our very own culture just to satisfy our western dream.
Its high time now that we stop blindly aping the west because even after aping you remain an ape. So, it is rightly advised to remain a human and for that we need to raise our concern over this issue. First of all, we need to change our mentality and then that of others. Only, then can we have an India of our dreams.

It is true. We blindly ape the West, the americans in particular.The sad part is that we don't copy their good parts.
ReplyDeletePlease point out some good points in Americans. It will be easir to copy them. anjan
ReplyDeletefreedom of expression, individuality,punctuality,relatively less corrupt,dignity of labour etc.
ReplyDeletePartying late at night, freaking out in cafes, discos, junk food, drinking, exposure have all show the extent to which the students are aping the west. Spreading tentacles of media, glamour world have all engulfed the minds of Indian youth. Friends copying blindly this western culture won’t help. Our Indian culture is considered the best in the world.
ReplyDeleteWe like to celebrate weekends like them but forget the labour they do during the weekdays. Why don’t we see the self independence of the foreign kids, the part time jobs they do. If you really want to copy something copy their good qualities.
