Indian culture

Re: Indian culture- my views

dear kanaka,

after having come out of India,my love for our soil has grown and i u/s better how sensible our social values are. i wish to share my views on the topic put forth by u.

1) we are proud that India is projected on the international stage as an "emerging giant". though, a vast majority of the extensive populatn is still struggling for growth, there are many progrssing v.fast- in economy,trade, education, many other things. we can't exist in isolation. when we interact with other world nations, we take many things from them in the process-
clothes are not an exceptn.
hardly any of the young girls today wear saris. this change reflects in the film stars.

2) before women started wearing saris in india, there were other simpler forms of clothing outfits. then came saris(many diffnt ways of wearing saris which we have abandoned for one pattern), we (in the south)shifted to salwar suits and now we can't stop this onward march. change is inevitable after all. like, we started eating pulav and pizzas.

3) i observe that women of even the most conventional communities outside india wear jeans/skirts. that doesn't mean they have given up their tradition.

4) there is always a regard everywhere for our social values and morality. do we need film stars to carry them as our ambassadors?


let's be true Indians in following good principles. we need not wear only khadi to be a true gandhian.there are many of his good teachings to follow.

what percentage of the generation today reads the Gita? do we have to be indians only in eating chapatis/idlis and wearing saris/salwras.

i have not said these to counter-state your thought or defend aishwarya. i just exprssd my views on it.-the other side of the coin.

love,
shreyasri
