  • Music: The present youth in India is addicted to English songs following legends like Linkin Park band, Eminem, Taylor Swift etc. Old Hindi songs are now considered unpopular and boring. People readily give a huge amount of money in international concerts and have lost the zeal to learn Indian instruments or authentic music culture such as classical music, Gazal, Karnataka music etc.

Teenagers prefer only international brands for clothes as they consider such high costed products to be of better standards and quality.

    UTTERLY USELESS.
    The day when we Indians realize that our culture is degrading not cause of what western people have taught us, the cause lies within us; cause we can’t have an open mindset and wish for development, our culture will stop decaying.
    Indian culture is ever growing.

    *culture is like our ancestral property*, as new generations take ancestral property in which they have right. We should also follow culture that our ancestors follow. Though we should eliminate negative practices like dowry system and many other. But we should keep follow positive practices nd should not forget our good norms and cultures.

    According to me Indian culture is decaying because of we are thinking globally we don’t want to confine ourselves in our country ,we want to expand ourselves.We have already adopted western culture , such as dress , food , culture, music ,dance we are comfortable. We used to see woman used to were sari ,salwar suit but most of the woman were top and jeans . Parents they have desire their children will go to English medium school , they want to learn western etiquette. people likes to learn western music and western dance.We like to celebrate father’s Day , mother’s Day , valentine’s Day. Every religion have some good aspects we can take it this is not bad.As we are Indian we should not forget our culture.

    People think that life is important than culture. Due to various reasons and changes culture is deviated. But local climate and dressing; climate and eating pattern ; psychology of people to be considered.

    In my views all have hearts which is Indian but now we are going to be a American, Australian and others,but we always say
    Kunki dil hai Hindustani,but……..
    Now many people, children, youngers are watching foriegner films ,wearing foreigner clothes every day we become foriegner,following foreigners unknowingly
    Because they think they are best but it is not true we have very vast culture ,
    Even our chappattis have different varieties like aloo pratha,Gobi pratha,methi pratha like 500+varieties of chapati but they have only bread we are diamonds but people following for piece of Glass, in Bhagwat Gita it is mentioned that if a person always thinking that thinks object than it will adopt their characters so we are following them we become also degrade d and it will end our culture our spirituality so I conclude by this that only blow wind by one window and we are also opening another window to blow out.
