Essay on values in indian culture and the need for value based education

Answer 1

INDIAN CULTURE
culture' is the Mother of all cultures, be it art of living or apparently the rich knowledge of Science and Music. All the regions and religions of the world have their own culture with many customs, traditions and refined qualities. It is a culture of love, respect, honouring others and humbling ones own ego so that the inner nature, which is naturally pure and modest will shine forth.

Respect and reverence for elders is a key stone of Indian culture. This genuine acknowledgment of seniority is demonstrated through endering customs, like, not sitting while they are standing, even serving their food first. We find the youngsters never using the proper names of their elders. In respect, we touch the feet of all elders, holy men and women in recognition of their great humility and attainment. A student touches the feet of his teacher. Purity in mind, body, speech, thought, word and deed is vitally important for us. The concept of Zero and the primordial sound of 'Om' was given by India.

We should never use harsh, angered and indecent language and keep our body healthy and clean. Giving things with the left hand to others is considered a subtle insult. One must not sniff flowers picked for offering to the Deities. It is very important for a cultured Indian to apologize immediately if one touches someone with his shoes or sandals. The same applies inadvertently if you bump into each other. Thus our Culture is unique and irreplaceable and places responsibility of preservation on the current generation. Thus, a Nations culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.

VALUE BASED EDUCATION :--
India is badly in need of Value Based Education and Teaching System which inculcates among the young students values that they need to imbibe and embalm within them.
Value based education (VBE) imparts social, moral, integrity, character, spirituality and many more. It builds the qualities of humility, strength and honesty in a person. They become better citizens of a country. People with high ethical values will never cheat others. People are taught to co-operate with each other. They make their life happier and works hard to make others happy.
Our history and mythology taught us of excellent values education. We, the Indians, talk loud of our cultural heritage, we talk a lot of the characters of Ram, Krishna, Raja Harishchandra, Sita, Savitri and for that matter many more, Buddha, Mahavir, Kabir, Raidas, Chaitanya, Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, Ramanujan. Good that India have these great men—god heads and godly as a part of our heritage. We have not to go out anywhere to seek for ideals. We have them all in our mythology and history. But what is needed is that they be not decorations on our walls but should be a source of enlightenment within. And how would that enlightenment come—from where and in what form?
Value Based Education is the only means which can give to our young the right direction. There is need for Value based Education System in India.
