It's very big Doubt
When you see many boys and girls (especially from metros) who cannot count beyond 30 in their native language (like Hindi, Bengali etc.).
When you see many people in high societies shaming Hindi and eulogizing English.
When you call people wearing traditional dresses as ‘Bhaiyyaji’ or ‘Behenji’.
When you shame ‘Brahmins’ for keeping a Shikha.
When you look scornfully at people who visit temples and think that visiting Churches is modernity.
When you see people denying entry into Malls those in traditional attire (Dhoti-Kurta) [1].
When you know 1 January and don’t have any idea of our own Vedic New Year.
When you do not touch the feet of your elders (parents, relatives, teachers etc.)
When keeping a dog is a hallmark of modernity and keeping a cow is rustic.
When there is an increasing trend of live-in relationships instead of marriages.
When we know more about the glories of foreign countries than our very own land.
It is the duty of every society to bequeath their culture to the next generations, but alas, we have failed!!
Going by the comments, I see a clear lack of understanding of certain practices in our society. Practices like Dowry or Sati or Caste System were originally not the way they were being practiced. The Vedas give a detailed explanation of these practices, but people over centuries (probably in the last 1000 year) heavily misinterpreted to suppress the women and the weaker sections of the society. We need to trace the roots of these systems and then analyze whether originally they were perfect or not.
