boys (or girls for the gender's sake) are not picking up the western (pls read AMRERICAN - as European societies are much better than americans)culture but they are being encouraged to emulate such trivial americanism by parental, family, peer and society pressure. What we are importing from west is burger, coal, vulgarity, disrespect to our own culture and values...etc. Let us wait and see more such incidents...until we start thinking rationally about what to import (e.g. cutting edge technologies) and what not (e.g. Mac Burger, KFC, and other variety of junk food, drinks, social n moral values...etc)

right u are lakshmi, right on.
swami vivekanand said and i quote
"I WANT YOU TO BE A OCCIDENTAL IN UR WORK, DISCIPLINE, AND A ORIENTAL IN UR OUTLOOK AND PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE"
he meant that u can be a hindu to ur backbone in culture, family values etc and a european in work etc.
we have done the opposite with incidents like these becoming common.
