We are not a civilization anymore. We are just a bunch of apes. We ape the West for everything. The problem is that we don't follow any restraint or responsibility while imitating the West. We think eating pizzas and burgers is hep where as in the West it is convenience or at the low end of the food chain. We wear like them. Particularly women's dress is becoming smaller and smaller. For us that is progressive. Now we have cheerleaders in every sports and games. I don't understand what or who they are chearing. We just want to do something the West does. Even in the West I don't believe in every game they have this nonsense. In developed countries women smoke more than men. I don't know if we are getting there but women have started drinking in our country. Dating, sex before marriage and living together are all considered advanced culture by us.
No wonder divorces are going up. We are becoming obesse society with large diabetic population. When West is trying to move in our direction by embracing Yoga and meditation, we are going in their direction. We think a population that is educated and wealthy would definitely move in this direction. That is not true. Look at Japan. They are wealthy by any means but still they preserve their culture so well. West looks at them even now and say they have a few things to learn from them. There are several books written by White people on how Japan has preserved the friendliness of Baseball games without too much commercializati

Even speaking in Hindi has the danger of you being labelled "Bhaiya" or "Behenji" I think the Indians have a deep sense of inferiority complex and also they cannot stand each other. In the west, the custom is to greet even passers by on the street with a polite "How are you" or "G'mornin'" and a smile , but when Indians see one another, they just look away or size each other up as in "oh no! another Indian" Look at the Indian's behavior in airplanes, restaurants etc: talking loudly, never clean up after themselves, forever trying to pick an argument etc.

I think the west really hate the weak. i can explain you. Columbus went to america and then all British went with him. They killed all native americans and made america, Very simple. The british came to India Ruled India and said we are irresponsible people, Monkeys in heaven like country and so on. Well same people Killed so many there as we had kings and civilization they were not able to finish indian race. Such a brutal west. Iraq in modern time is same thing you cannot meet a Iraqi man who did not loose his family member in a war. Iraq had 6,000 years of civilization and history. It applies same on us if we are weak we will suffer and die. But India can win this rubbish bad diplomatic war and get good benefits. Finish pakistan issue and move on to the next level. Culture Indian culture is unique weather or not some one like it at all. Westerners in general do not like Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Arabic cultures. Christianity is what they like and believe so the war in Israel. This goes on and on with Osama asking to wage war against India right now it is too complicated but surely one of the strongest and matured countries in world especially most matured country in Asia. It cannot loose if it looses the world has to face terrible destiny.

These days we don't even see bindi on the forehead of our women. Anything that is typical to our culture is considered backward. With such aping mentality we will not get any respect from other cultures as we only follow others and we don't lead on anything.
