From a long time something is hitting in my mind. I wanted
to pen it down, but I couldn’t do it. As I was busy with my life, my “so called
busy corporate life”. No time to think back no time for friends and family. But
It didn’t let me sleep . So I had to
write it at midnight, when the whole world is asleep. Never mind my Facebook
friends, Anyway you guys are not in this world. Let’s come to the topic.
We are in a democratic country where you have freedom to do
anything. Actually speaking nobody cares what you do. We got independence 65
years back. I wanna compare few things from the pages of history to the present
day.
If you walk on one of the busy road in a city, earlier people used to see
few cycles. Whereas now, you can see streetful of cars and other vehicles which
run on oil. Earlier people used to wear dhotis. Now all dhotis are replaced by
jeans. Women were not allowed to go out alone. Now, you can find women in pubs half naked. We moved
from bullock carts to cozy cars. Moved from dhotis to jeans. Moved from desi
daru to western liquor. Once upon a time letter was the only medium of message
but now everyone has a mobile in his/her hand.
Our government says that we are
a developing country and we are modernized. Do we really modernized? I say we
are actually westernized rather than modernized. Modernization is thinking in
modern ways, using modern gadgets . It’s not changing into western culture. Wearing
jeans doesn’t mean that you are modernized when you can’t think in modern way.
Jeans doesn’t suit our climate. Do our saree or salwar kameez that bad to wear?
Our girls wear skin tight jeans and dress themselves half naked and say that
they are modern. Fools….. you are not modern and you are trapped in western culture.
Our culture is thousands of years old where
youngers give respect to elders, women are given respect and treated as God.
Our culture is no more. Do you think drinking foreign liquor and using bad
words on others is modernization?Do you think late night pub culture or walking on a road half naked is modernization?
Our culture is respected abroad and what we
did with our culture? We made it lame like us. Try to distinguish between being
modern and western. Being a modern person will give you strength. Being western
is nothing but fooling yourself. Adopt modernization, not westernization. I
hope, you all can understand my appeal.
