I am very disappointed to see Indian’s acknowledgement of
their own country.
Condoning our own culture, tradition, values, festivals and
free adoption of ideas of the world- is the common scenario. While the world is
enthralled with Indianism and willing to adopt the nuances, we ourselves are
shunning the same. What best than understanding the same from a foreigner- who
travelled all around the world and chose to leave her own country because the
Indian image did not wipe out from her memories. While the foreigner’s actual
exposure to the cultural diaspora is limited, but the opinion about the family,
the values- presents India in a different stead.
Are marriages and festivals the
only events – which depict Indian culture? What about the small deeds, the
warmth in people, the spirit of Indianism? Are we being true to ourselves by
letting us being portrayed only from one side? Time to think and transform...
