Our responsibility to preserve our indigenous culture
Answers
Culture and traditions were actually made for the convenience of the people in the long past by the then wise people. Traditions are our past. Our joys are associated with the traditions. For example all the festivals that we love celebrating are nothing but traditions. They are an integral part of our society. For example, take any tradition and analyze it; you will find it has many wholesome benefits. For example, take the tradition of going to a temple/mosque/church/or any religious place. It connects us to our roots. As we go to the temple, it makes us realize the supremacy of God; it makes us spiritual.
Another example is being respectful to elders. Our tradition teaches us to be courteous and respectful to our elders, teachers, or any stranger; by being respectful we not only gladden the elders, but also gladden ourselves. They give us many favours in return. For example, they bless us. They teach us. They are always there with their love and care when we need them. We also earn a good image in society and people like to be associated with us.
Another blessing of our family is joint family system. This system is only found in India and some other traditional societies. The so called problem-ridden western societies don’t have joint family systems. As a result, there are no problems such as loneliness, depression, going astray, etc.; by default, the joint family system proves healthy and beneficial in the healthy growth of children and provides them with a wholesome environment.
