True, Indians are turning their backs on the culture that their previous generations grew up with. This will create problems for our succeeding generations. One of the problems of strife in Africa is because the invading Europeans broke up Africa into disjoint, non-tribally segregated countries (earlier Africa was tribally based and segregated), and also made Africans turn their backs on their unique, ecologically embedded culture to adopt European methods of civilisation. The catastrophic result is there for all to witness - a culturally mooreless generation grown up in war and strife. Blame the invading Europeans for this.
The Australians are now recognising that Aboriginal history is culturally integral to Australia's history, and not one which the earlier generation of Europeans wanted to wish away. Scores of streets and plazas are being given Aboriginal names.
As for India, we are slowly moving the African way. Once our culture stands completely abandoned by the majority of a generation (say two generations born from now), indentity problems will give rise to conflict. Take a good, deep look at the North-East, and now Orissa.
