Tradition is the collective wisdom and modes of behavior of the ancestor's cherished and ritualistically  observed by the present generations. Tradition is also belittled occasionally when it is seen to sanction or promote unscientific and superstitious conduct and beliefs.

Modernity as opposed to tradition refers to an outlook that is generally future oriented and forward looking. 
Modernity rests on a rational interpretation of religious, social and economic institutions and phenomena.
Modernity is identified very often with the industrialized western civilization where the family relationships, legal institutions and statecraft underwent tremendous transformation following the Reformation and Renaissance.

Traditions exercise a very strong and sometimes almost imperceptible and unconscious hold over us. Such influence is seen at its most pervasive in rituals relating to birth, death and marriage.'
although the industrialization and the consequent urbanization have brought immense change in the Indian society, the hold of tradition still remains strong. 
 modernity in India has not replaced tradition largely or decisively. Indian tradition is ancient, long and haloed. Many western and eastern Spiritual personalities and institutions have made appreciative interpretations of Indian culture and traditions giving them a new lease of life. Yoga and meditation centers have sprung all over the world and are helping millions to gain physical and spiritual well being. Indian politics too is deriving nourishment by constant allusion and reference to the glorious Indian tradition.
