Hello everyone, as all of you know;
We are organising another GD this Friday on a very popular and highly debatable topic.
No "Valentine's day" , should THEY decide it?
Now, whenever we talk about Valentine's day we talk about modernization.
Globalization came with modernization and westernization, you see its a package deal!
We have been using these terms as synonyms for two decades. And the younger generation of this country has always been blamed with adapting "western culture" blindly. The effect can be observed in our changed eating habits and changed clothing. We are regarded as fashion frenzied people. Brands are infecting our day to day lives. But we are still way behind developed nations. What is the reason behind it?
Is it the corrupt politics of India?
Or is it red-tapism, bureaucracy?
the faulty education system, or something else?
Where exactly lies the root of all evil happening right now in our country?
If we thoroughly self-inspect we may find that the root of all evil lies in our minds and hearts and so does the cure. We are still chasing each other in a rat-race. Running after God-knows-what. We are too lazy to find an answer so feed on whatever satisfies us.
We will talk about gender equality and women empowerment all the time but still practice or promote "Dowry", child-marriage and female infanticide. The office-going class is diseased too. Men feel ashamed to work under a female boss, harass their junior and co-working females. In the name of Indian culture men are the first to raise an objection on the dressing sense or style of a girl wearing western outfits. And still we call ourselves advanced, modern, trendy.
There is a class of youth celebrating "valentine's day" with full vigor and another class against this celebration. Why so much chaos over a day that spells love?
I want to say more but first I want to hear what my friends have to say.
Please comment and do come to the GD if You can.

The thing is not whether I am celebrating valentine's or not? OR Whether I am following westernisation or not? The thing is or rather the question is what is the reason that they stop me.. us, to follow normal convention or the flow i m comfortable in? why the hell they stop me doing wat my heart say to me .. whether its a protest against a murder or a move for celebrating a day, all dedicated to my love...!!
POLITICS !!! you see the main motive of such organizations is to get into the system by achieving a mere soft corner in the so called conservative ppl. who are in great numbrs in our country !! jinkaa kaam sirf bahar se dekh kr usme kaamiya nikaalna hota hai! nothing else!! seriously !!
well at one point they r right. as every1 knows that india has a rich culture and they are just trying to save it. there are just two ways to get acceptance ither prove your point better then others or remove all other options from the list. thier moto is to save our culture but there way is not correct. they should make us realize that our culture is best rather then removing western culture.
No Culture forbids love or its expression in any form, Our culture is the best because it blends and adapts with other cultures easily. thats why it is the richest of all. Our culture gives us the opportunity to ask questions on self discretion and morality. What these so called moral police and cultural activists trying to do is create a borderline between cultures which is not only illogical but impossible as well.
@ of what shubham has written, i want to add awl though most of youth of the country is in race of westernization blindly for sure and our elders in general being against it are both justified by the need of both the section of country.
in the first place where being modern is becoming necessity for younger generation to survive in this era of multi national gods(MNG's). going against it by older group
can be clarified by their responsibility of saving our own culture.
the problem is we are forgetting to carry our moral values in the race with us. whether it be china or japan or any other developed country awl of them are ruling the world because over the period of time they have become modern and advanced in every sphere but never neglected the importance of their language or cultural values.
we ought to take a similar path towards a prosperous and wealthy nation building. where we
carry our cultural values and balance them with the modern reasoning and thinking.
and by cultural values i dnt wnt to be misunderstood as carrying social evils lyk dowery and child marriage etc with us.
and i would lyk to invite comments on increasing commercialization of v-day by shubham...
As I have told that it not about Indian culture or foreign culture rather it's about rational or irrational one...Throwing a fistful claim towards the modern youth society is comparatively easier that of claiming with a rational reason..This kinds of deceptive & disgraceful activities of few bureaucrats & some shabby mentality people are leading India back to the dark age again.
They talk about integrity, sovereignty & democracy but ultimately it's all about filling their ballot boxes, creating a pseudo democratic environment & abolishing the mental & communal peace from adolescents.
Everything should be in peaceful manner,not by force & devastation...
Let everyone live their own life & be passionate for every aspect of their life...I call for every responsible people today to call off their personal dirty political issues, forget their rage of injustice to achieve money, power & fame and to think about their country.....MOTHER INDIA.>>>>
Thank you Mayukh for sharing your thoughts, could you comment some more on gender equality and the dual face of so called modern MAN in India.
