How did western culture influence Indian culture?
They only help to develop the country futther, there is no harm in accepting somebody's else's good things if it helps to make the lifestyle better... western culture has robbed our beautiful Indian culture...it has robbed the manners of Indian youths.........it is more bad then having 1 or 2 good effects
The culture of India is been disappearing by many ways…
- the youths in India do not respect their elders, the families in India live separate... And thus have lost contacts with their other relatives…
- the big point which is making the culture of India to disappear inBollywood the dressing style of the actresses, the slang word used in movies are been influenced the youth to bad step of life. The young ones try to act the same as these actors do which is very bad to the culture of India…
- the lack of morals
- the lacking faith in God
- having late night parties
- the influence of drugs and alcohols
- least interest in Indian languages like Sanskrit, Hindi
- Celebrating mothers day, fathers day, valentine day, fools day etc rather than celebrating our Indian festivals and thus wasting their precious time of life
- Thinking to be independent at an early age
so I strongly say that accept good from that and try to know our Indian culture more than u definitely change mind.. Thnkyou!
