Are you really Modernized?

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.
