Good morning, everyone; I am here to speak briefly on ‘impact of westernization on Indian society’.
The western culture has swept over the Indian subcontinent like a tsunami. What is not that has not been affected by it! We have been completely westernized, though we claim we have not been! The two catalysts that have been transforming our culture are IT revolution and media and networking advancement.
Since Western culture is quite open and advanced, there is no restriction on obscene channels. However, our culture is based on values of abstinence, self-discipline, and self-control. Such adult channels are really affecting our culture. The westernization process of majority of our youth has already started. Preference for western style of life is visible everywhere. Fast food, western clothes, eating habits, smoking, drinking, going out, pubs, drive-through foods, jeans, etc. all are indicators of the westernization of our culture.
It depends upon us whether we allow ourselves to be influenced by the foreign channels or not. But one thing is sure; if we will be watching foreign channels most of the time every day, it is definitely going to influence our culture. Foreign channels have already influenced our culture a lot. We need to take very careful precautions to preserve our culture in the midst of this onslaught of foreign entertainment and information on the impressionable minds of our children.
The wisest approach should be adopted. We must preserve our rich spiritual culture and allow wise blending of the western culture with it. I think the rich morality taught to us by our traditional oriental culture along with the efficient technological advancement given to us by the occidental culture will produce an ideal new culture whose benefits will be immense for the entire mankind.
Thank you.
