Impact of westernization on Indian culture. 

Indian Culture, which is one of the oldest & richest cultures, is now days posing a serious threat as western culture is establishing its strong base in India and slowly and gradually wiping the Indian culture. 

Westernization has greatly effected our traditions, customs, our family and our respect and love for others. The concept of joint families is gradually decreasing as every one wants to remain in a nuclear family.No body now bother about others and only cares about himself which is totally contradictory to our Indian culture which teaches to be a part of each other Joy’s and Sorrows to celebrate the moments together and share the grief together. Slowly all our values for which India has the pride is vanishing & western culture is taking its place. People are blindly following the western culture without knowing its consequences.

 Marriages are fastly breaking & our tolerance and patience has given the answer. And the most effected are the new generation who find themselves stressed and isolated in this new atmosphere as there is no one to take care of them as they are not getting that care and love of their parents as they are left in crutches because their parents are working. It is very unfortunate that the new generation  remain cut off from our moral values. To many cases it is not deliberate but in majority of case the children prefers to remain away from their parents which is very unfortunate.

There’s no harm in taking good things from western but this does not mean that we should completely adopt the western culture and misrepresent our identity. As we know that India is growing in every field and there is necessity of knowing everything. To some extent it is fine but we should not dislike our Indian culture and should preserve our identity. One should always keep in mind that western world is looking India for its honesty and its rich Cultural heritage.

It is shocking  that Indians are forgetting their culture and western people are seeing India for obtaining salvation. They come India to seek the true peace. India has earned a good name in the field of Yoga and meditation too.People are only seeing money as necessity and for the same they do any thing.

It is very unfortunate that today’s generation has very little knowledge about their culture, traditions & their roots. This is not their fault but their parents's who never  enlightened  their children about  their rich cultural heritage.

On other hand, Parents feel proud teaching their children the western values.And thus they r kept miles away from Indian culture. There is no harm in knowing other cultures and traditions as Indians have made their presence in every part of world. We should do but really to the limit, and should  also take care that our new Gen. is well versed with Indian culture and its values. It is the responsibility of parents to inherit the same and for this it is very necessary that parents should also be well versed with Indian culture and traditions.

No doubt the western culture is versatile and has taught to be self-independent but this does not mean that we will forget our culture at all and blindly follow it. Since India has the tradition to take good things from others but this does not mean that we will completely forget our values. We should feel proud that we are Indians and we have such a rich cultural heritage which is very rare and should carry this forward and inherit the same to our New Generation who are going to be our future.
