Question

india has a rich heritage ,what role will you play as an Indian citizen to conserve your culture and traditionals

Answer 1

Indian kulchar or culture doesn't need protection!

Culture is something vibrant, dynamic, throbbing, thriving, changing, mutating, deviating...all the time.

If we had tried to protect the status quo, we wouldn't have had things like the Hindi/Urdu language, the harmonium or the sitar, Tamil wouldn't have borrowed from Sanskrit and vice versa, there would have been no mixing of tradition and rituals picked up from other cultures and absorbed into our own.

Culture doesn't need protection! Culture needs practice.

Practice the bits of tradition from your (or another!) culture that appeal to you! So many non-Punjabis now wear the red-and-white chooda (set of bangles) after marriage, and continue to wear them up to a year after marriage. So many Gujaratis have started doing the karwa chauth fast for the husbands (and wives!), which is not part of their tradition. So many South Indian and Muslim friends have organized a Sangeet ceremony during their weddings, because they love the idea of a bit of song-and-dance.

Indians take on things they like from western cultures too, like the practice of saying vows to their betrothed at a wedding function. Surely, this was something worth emulating. In that sense, culture is about giving humans joy and happiness, binding them with art, music language, emotion and nostalgia - a celebration of the human condition.

Taking on new practices and continuing old ones that appeal to us will be the contribution we make to our collective legacy and pass it on to future generations. 

Most of all, stop thinking of culture as your own and stop thinking of it as an endangered or threatened species. 

Indian kulchar will outlive and survive all the individual Indians hellbent upon "protecting it", thinking it's some damsel in distress, when it's actually alive-and-kicking, morphing as we speak, into something bigger than the sum of its parts.
