हमारी संस्कृति और आधुनिक युग की माँग

Hello All,

I am glad to see comments on ma previous blog.Your response is highly appreciated.

This post coves wide range of things related to indian society. I will be jumping between different things and may be taking wide range of examples. Hope readers will try to get the center idea of this post. E.g i will be discussing cultures dogmas in one para and may be talking about not supporting regional parties. As some of the regional parties exploits our soft corner for our strong cultural sentiments

We Indians some times gets over obsessed with our local beleives and close our self to all forms of cultural criticism. Some times this cultural binding hinderes growth in current contemporary world around us).(Note: not pertaining to any religion this is about india)

Still majority of us does not think globally and are not ready to come out of the dogmatic approach pertaining to our region and culture.

Our politician are smart enough to use this sentiment and influenced people with inflaming statements to save our culture and region.

People are prone to get easily trapped in these statements and start folllowing them ignoring another side of the coin.

That is one of the reason which has been used by many politically insignificant leaders to come to the center stage.

Threating innocent life in any form to preserve believes of your community is not acceptable in democratic society. There are many examples in indian history where small regional groups have caused significant distruction to public property and disturbed public life. Gujjar struggle for reservation is the recent one.

I wonder how we can make such mistakes and let other to exploit our sentiments.
After hours of brain storming I come to the conclusion that many of us are not educated enough which is a major reason other being our less contact and knowlegde about other region/caste/community/religion/language.

If people/group/individual is/are not comfortable with any of the govt policy or have any feelings of he/they being exploited then there are many ways to express your grieves.

No reason can justify use of violence or destruction/disturbance to public life.

To end it i would only say that life is a beautifull things, peace,harmony in society is door to development and education being the path, respect for other religion/region/caste/sect/language is the will to follow the path to success.

Even I have seen educated people indulging in violence and supporting riots (bandhs) over small issues which affects common life.

Suggestion please...
