Why are Indians so influenced by the Western culture, when the Indian tradition has so much to give?
Indians have of course been influenced by the west since the time of European invasion in both good and bad ways.good sense-abolishing inhuman practices and superstitions ,introduction of modern education ,idea of indiviual rights and modern technology.In the bad sense - losing of our traditional values,objectification of women , rape culture etc.Although Indians generally have this colonial hangover ,to copy everything from the superior white ruling class of once,the mad extreme of it is seem among women expecially in NCR and surrounding region.Wearing shorts even in cold Delhi winters,going to pubs and hooking up with guys secretely in car parks is seen as the new cool or being culturally advanced…ALL THOSE ARE JUST STUPID ACTS by some hypocratic guys and girls who have no idea of Western culture and values.The way of life in western countries is totally different from what they think .While in India most people try this secretly to keep up their ego and peer pressure ,and remain good in front of parents / society …in the west everyone lives by his / her individual choice and views .For example in the USA you can find orthodox Jewish and xtian communities where even mingling freely with opposite gender can invite social isolation.Also there are hippies and free travelling women who enjoy life to the fullest.Everyone respects the individual freedom of others and never interferes in the personal life / choices of others ..even if it's your mom or sisterCan that ever happen in india ????Will any ultramodern guy who scores worth a new girl every month tolerate if his sister goes to a pub with her stud boyfriend ??Will any guy who supports short clothes and PDA accept his mom / sis wearing a bikini in front of his family ,colleagues ??Will these so called self reliant modern independent Delhi girls ,admit their hookup history to their family .?? Or to the arranged marriage proposal coming in ??While in the west people are open about all these to the people who deserves to know.You can't find a fake sanskari American virgin who secretly hooked up with her college BF and then bitch about other girls wearing sleeveless.So indians being fully western is a total hypocrisy.People just want to satisfy their egos ,thinking that they would be labelled as an old generation if they condemn any western ways.But at heart they are all a bunch of sanskari indian having deeply imprinted values about modesty , virginity , ideal man,women etc.
