Neo Indian Culture

I have heard a million and one times, the continuous ranting that takes place among so many political and religious leaders, which invariably states one thing :The Indian Sanskruti is dying. It is not into use anymore. Save the Indian culture!!! and blah! blah! blah!
i.e The fabric of Indian culture is not Indian anymore.

Listening to Linkin Park, Iron Maiden, Eminem is a heinous crime! Watching movies like The Reader, The Godfather, Step up is heresy! Celebrating Valentine's Day is equal to sex in public. Apparently, all of these things are a ruse used by the godforsaken westerners to invade the only thing we have, OUR SANSKAR!

BULLSHIT! PURE, SOFT, WATERY BULLSHIT! MAKE IT ELEPHANT SHIT!

First things first! Have we really forgotten our culture? I mean, what does our culture say?
What is the first principle of our culture? I had say one thing, that is RESPECT and that is one thing we sure can do and we sure do, do! Our anthem as students might be "We Dont Need Know Education" by Pink Floyd, but we stand up with respect in our hearts and wish a happy good morning, to any teacher that passes by. THAT IS US!

We might celebrate a Valentine's Day. Though, it aint that necessary! Coz we end up loving every other girl every day! But we have that one day, to remind us of the eternal emotion that existed between Krishna and Radha. That is US!

What many people fail to understand is the fact that the culture has not died, it has CHANGED! Change is the only thing that is constant and thus we have changed the old CULTURE, to something more new, something more NEO. This Neo culture, has space for anything that enables us to move ahead!

Our 'old' culture had many flaws, the existence of Sati, Dowry! All of these were a part of our culture! We believed it an act of blasphemy to even think about going to the moon. But it was the neo generation that saw Rakesh Sharma peaking down from moon and telling Indira Gandhi "सारे जहाँ से अच्छा हिंदुस्तान हमारा" That is us!

We listen to Megadeth, we love Kunnukudi on the violin. We love salsa, we envy the beats of a Kathak Dancer. We love the pizza, we love maa-ki-daal. We are the change, we are the NEO!

I am not saying that we are flawless, but our flaws are but the mischiefs of an innocent child when compared to the holocaust of the generation that once existed in India. What say you?

Regards,
Finger to you
