The complaint now a days is that the generation today does not have a clue on what our culture is and do things which don’t quite classify as the Indian culture. We have cultural/moral police groups all over the place consistently trying to find a drop in the culture quotient…
People comment that going to temples is keeping up the culture, carrying out traditional activities passed by our ancestors is keeping up the culture (am not saying that its wrong, but I don’t believe in carrying on a tradition without knowing why I am carrying it, I still probably do it to please those close to the heart)…. Comments that the generation today goes to pubs, drinks, dances and thereby are a black mark on the otherwise unscathed culture of ours.
Am not arguing here, neither am I going to back my generation, but I can sure say we are all not wrong and we are all not treading the wrong path!!! I can for sure point several instances where various incidents have indeed left a black mark on our culture which still lingers on.
Every society is a mix of the good and the bad, every society has its short comings; every society has what is classified as right and wrong. The same applies to an individual and the country as a whole. It depends on the individual to choose what he feels is right and good after all we have been gifted with the ability to think, to decide between what we think is right or wrong.
Going to a church doesn’t make you a Christian as much as going to McDonalds makes you a burger.
