Answer:
Introduction
Tradition and progress are complementary to each other; they are not mutually exclusive. Too much of traditional bondage is as harmful as is too much of progress at the expense of traditional values. In fact the concept of ‘generation gap’ is but another name for this divorce between ‘tradition’ and ‘progress’.
Indian Society is a permissive society and progress is its watchword. Science has been making long strides and it has made our day to day life progressively simpler with increasing material comforts.
Again the progressive social reforms and the new humanism have broken the shackles of the caste system. Man, the world over, is now one race. Today the distinctions of high and low born, white-brown and dark or colour-bar are fast disappearing like an evil dream.
Curse of Tradition
It is true; these were the curse of tradition. In India it was like the vice of our Sanskritic culture or Brahminisim. But day, through the efforts of great social reformers, writers and giants among politicians, these shackles have been snapped forever and man is much freer today. The decks have been cleared for progress.
