EPITOME OF CULTURE_INDIA

India is a land rich in culture.it had been imprisoned and reigned by mughals and Britishers for more than 1000’s of years .yet it did not loose its cultural charm .it always respected others culture and accepted their ideas and enriched her own culture .it has always acknowledged Indians and people of other country with sacrifice, love and brotherhood .but it seems we-the generation of 21st century are forgetting our own culture.
Whenever the question who are you? arises, an American says he is American, a British says he is a britisher , the person from Arab says he is Arabian, the person from Greece says he is a Greek, but when the same question is asked to a person of India he says he is Bengali/Sikh/Hindu/Muslim making himself a laughing stock for others. He doesn’t say what he is expected to. Why ??? Aren’t we proud enough to call ourselves Indians or are we too proud to call ourselves religious and insult our nation. Moreover is the diversification of religion more important or the unity of being Indian?
Sanskrit the mother of not only 16 indian languages but also to other languages in the world.for eg-mother from matre,brother from bhratre,etc.no doubt,only an Indian can speak all languages fluently as spoken by the other national people,but none other nations people can speak Indian language as fluently as Indians.and as they say UR MOTHER TONGUE IS THE SOUL OF YOUR IDENTITY.if you don’t know your mother tongue,you have no identity of your own.in the false rat race of speaking other foreign languages fluently,we have forgotten our own mother tongue,our national language, hindi.how many schools teaches students to speak in their mother tongue and not English.English has become the main language of the world,just because the Englishmen respects their language and feel proud to talk in their mother tongue.Indian language is no less powerful.indian language can also be one among worlds most spoken languages ,but this can happen only and only when WE- the Indians learn to respect our mother tongue.

Khadi,sari salwar kameez is the dress of an Indian.simplicity is pulchritude.in the motto of Indian dressing.but this natural beauty is robbed away by todays artificial beauty.wearing funky western clothes,short skirts,speghities,halters,junkies,trendy and fashionable wear is what has become more important.piercing,not only ears and nose but also belly,tongue,chin,tattoos on skin,streaking and colouring hairs is what is called beauty today.but is it seriously what is called aesthetic beauty.or is it only dirt which is driving away real beauty. is not real Indian beauty in traditional wears,bindi,sringaar, mehndi,etc.that’s Indian beauty.

Only Indian culture teaches to obey and respect our elders.this is the country where maryadapurshotam ram just to respect his father’s words went to jungle for 14 years of exile,this is the land where grandparents sings lullabies and recites stories to their grandchildren expressing their love to them.but now parents are taken up as some garbage and thrown out of the house to some old age homes,when they need their children the most.this is the country where shri Krishna taught us to respect women.women are not only a matter of entertainment,but the starting and the soul of the world.guests are considered as gods in India and are always welcomed by them by joining their hands together and greeting.helding out hand and greeting our elders is not Indian culture,but to touch their feet and take their blessings,is Indian culture."HI" is not the word of Indian,but NAMASTE.


EARLY TO BED AND EARLY TO RISE,SIMPLE FOOD,SIMPLE LIVING,CONCENTRATION,MEDITATION,YOGA,etc,were the lifestyle of Indian culture.but now latenight parties,discos,drinking,fagging,speedy driving,fast life,has become Indian lifestyle.but is it seriously Indian lifestyle.no,its western lifestyle taking over Indian lifestyle.now we no more seem and feel to be a part of Indian culture,but western culture.Indians are born to light up someone’s hope,someone’s smile,someone’s darkness,someone’s life and not cigrattes.

There are two stagnant truths…..
1.no matter how much an Indian try and change his looks,but can never change the fact of tan colour of his body.he can nwever look as fair as those of Englishmen.
2.we are Indians from birth and so we should accept the truth,and learn to respect our country,and its culture.only then we would be able to make it more better and powerful.so lets kindle the spirit of our nation and culture and gift a safe,secur,.and well insured living atmosphere to the generation next, as was presented to us by our ancestors.
