lets take care of us
by ashish sinha on Aug 08, 2008 03:37 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

in the madness that emanates from the very fact that " 1$ = 40 Rs ", we r forgetting certain things that should be our identity.

I look around at the indians who come to US, all try to copy the american culture. They will speak in american accent, and always feel that american way of leading the life, is better than the indian way.

On the other hand, I look at people from china, japan and korea,,, we may think they r dumb coz they can't speak english.. the way we indians do... but look at what they have done to their own culture.

Because they have refused to accept western culture, the west had to accept their culture.

we r only killing whatever good culture we had by blindly adopting american culture.

have a look at the usermanual of any electronic gadget you bought, or any website that offers you to view content in scripts of various language, you will find an option for Chineese, japaneese, spanish and other junk languages that only a handful on this planet speak.

Try searching for a "hindi" translation, you will find it nowhere.

This is what we have done to ourselves, our identity. Let's take care of us.

Hi ashish i am agree with you. Good send one copy to girish also and ask about this american xerox (AC culture) culture which indians adopt after coming here. But few are there who don't copy above things but their number is less.

happy to know that at least some of use are still in their senses.
but this tragedy do not start here ,it starts in india where parents prefer and feel proud raise their children in convent culture,who try to itch one concept on young mind that 'every thing that is native is inferior'.increase no of nuclear family structure and madness for money fuels this.I am right now america and often refered by my indian fellows as conservative because i dont drink and strong supporter of marriage system.
on the other hand ,as you said koreans,chineese and europians came to us way before indian but they know importence of their traditions and are proudly trying to conserve it.
well,one can speak extensively on tis topic
keep it up
