I am not sure of the way we have moulded our cultural values and call ourselves the modern Indians. Taking a very simple yet important custom in focus – Marriage, has actually become a materialistic concept. Can we exactly define Arranged or Love marriages? Because what happens is two sexes meet given they are of same caste, religion , acceptable age and then they actually analyze each other and proceed towards love. Well in the cosmopolitan lingo I should say – Are you kidding me Guys???
The concern is not that we are changing but that we are not changing. On roots , we are adopting the same cultural attitude ,that had been degenerated with time ,in new masks. The origin of our culture was very pure and worth wondering as people millions of years ago had those ideals which we adulate in today’s world. Without making a discussion on our culture let me actually come to the misleading of lives by the Modern Indians.
Being a part of todays youth generation , I am not very sure of how our previous generation was , but perhaps they were perfect in their thinking . We are actually not following what we think but making compromises and hiding it with our hypocratic cosmopolitan attitude. If this how we love a guy or gal then I doubt how many have actually loved their parents. The point is we love because we need to or we love because it is a genuine human emotion??? The answer to this question will be very ambiguous if asked in a survey.
Without making this issue a really silly one, I want to highlight that are we robotizing ourselves? If not then where are the aboriginal human emotions!!
