Culture means customs or civilization of a particular time. Also improvement of mental and physical growth.
Family and its values is the key part of Indian culture, which doesn’t exists in western culture. Being in a family, giving love to your loved ones and respect to your elders, is the root of INDIAN culture. Sorry to say, but family doesn’t exist in reality except in terminology, in western culture. Either people have live-in relations or they get divorced, if they r not compatible with each other. So, how could a person in their right mind have mental peace in such an environment, where relationships r breaking every other day.Â
Because of the lack of family values and existence of a family life, people end up doing drugs, crimes etc.
Indian v/s Western Culture
Indian culture tolerates corruption, violence.Â
Western culture instigates corruption and violence in other parts of the world.Â
Most Indians when they reach the top they think they are god and treat other people as their slaves.Â
Western culture does not do that, they treat every body with respect , even if he is Janitor.
Indians are orthodox and narrow minded. Westerns are broad minded.
Indians believe in wearing covered outfits n dresses. Whereas Westerns are totally opposite and wear shorts .
Indian culture has given many things to mankind. And it is worth appreciating and thanking it
1. Manners like respecting parents, teachers, etc, evolved from Indian culture.Â
2. The aspect of seeing god in all- statues, stones, human, animal’s arised from Indian mythology. etc.
3. Indian culture of respecting elders and learning spirituality and life science gives us a way to live life and not like western people who live like animals- having sex with anyone including sisters, etc. forgetting parents and elders, doing anything they like.Â
4. We have our own form of exercise and medicine that is flawless compared to other science and has no side-effects.Â
I would always prefer Indian culture as my first preference I don’t say western culture is bad, but it is not good….. The bad things like rape, suicide, drugs, and tissue paper in bathroom stuffs evolved from western… not to mention about lesbian, gay and AIDS.Â
westerns have a lot to learn from us and we too have some good things to learn from them….. But it doesn’t mean that we should run after the culture and tradition which really doesn’t suit us.Â
The ultimate decision lies in the ego inside you that will decide which one is more worthy to compete the other.
