Changing Values

We all know that Change is the law of nature. This law is governing almost everything in this universe and so as the Indian Culture. Over Centuries Indian Culture has influenced by a lot of changes and many of them has incorporated in this culture remaining the other features intact. These Changes are more or less like two faces of a coin. Some changes are beneficial for our society and culture, and some others are dangerous. In other words these changes have both Positive and Negative aspects.

Changes In Indian Culture that are Positive for Indian Society

A few Centuries ago “Sati pratha” was abolished and “widow remarriage” was approved. These Changes were the major achievements of Indian Society. These changes have removed the traditions and methodologies which was a curse to all the women and humanity. These Changes were the major revolution in the Indian Society. From that time,changes have influenced  a lot to the Indian Society. Now a days, there are many visible changes in our society. Some of them are:-

    • With technology becoming fast and easily portable people of different parts of the world are interacting together. Today they can easily know each other’s culture and tradition.So technology has made this world a smaller place and make the peoples come closer to know each other’s lifestyle and culture. Now a days people of a country are well known about the culture and tradition of other countries and so their knowledge has broaden. Peoples are becoming more independent. They are no more restricted in their own methodologies. New thinking are evolving between society.

Latest Technologies

    • Today peoples of our country are moving to other parts of the world for higher education and learning better technology. Now a girl of our country is no more restricted to home, and a woman to a housewife.Things are changing.Girls are also getting opportunities for their better education and lifestyle, same as the boys. Old traditions and wooden customs are changing.These changes are the seeds for the better society where girls and women have the same right as the boys and men have.These changes are empowering our girls and women.

Women Empowerment

    • In case of marriage the changes are visible.Now a days younger generation chooses their life partner themselves.Traditionally their parents used to find a marriage partner for them.Today If their parents choose a life partner for them then they allow their young ones to spend time with their life partner to understand each other and then perform the marriage ceremony.By doing this they gave their children a better chance to have a better future.So now a days young generation have freedom of choice in contrast with the old culture of Indian society where parents were solely responsible for choosing life partner for their children.
  • Change in Indian CinemaA major change that can be sensed in Indian Culture is the change in Indian Cinema.We all know that cinema is the mirror of our society.It clearly reflects the culture and methodologies of our society.Few decades ago Indian cinema was only meant for entertainment.At that times films were  of conservative type.But today film makers are moving to the various social issues and giving the Indian cinema a touch of perfection.Films displaying the critical and major issues like terrorism and bogus CBI has already produced.These films teach a lesson to society regarding these issues and its consequences.Also the films promoting art and music have produced over a few years.Such types of films also encourage new talents and provide new opportunities.

Negative Aspects Of Changes In Indian Culture

As stated earlier that “every coin has two face”.So If there are some positives, negatives also lies within. The changes in Indian Culture is also giving some negative consequences. Some of them are discussed below:-

  • With growing technology competition in the market is also rising.People are spending their lots of time in office and at workplace.Consequently they have not much time to spend with their family specially with their children.So now a days parents have a less time to care for their children in contrast with the old age,where an immense care was given to a child by his family members.So the present generation of children are very much unaware of our Indian Culture.No one is there to make them understand about this.At present this is not a major issue but in future it will be of great concern.No one of us will ever want that our future generation will remain unaware from our Indian Culture.

Problem:- Our next Generation will remain unaware about our Indian Culture and slowly they forget it.

Solution:- Parents should spend a valuable time with their children discussing about our culture and tradition. Classes should be organized by schools for making them aware of our culture and its value.

  • With the growing demands of the world  level of education has also changed. Pedagogy has changed. In old ages learning of a few subjects was enough but now a days a child has to learn about the different subjects and different areas of concern including present technology and science.So the level of mental stress has increased.In such conditions behavior of parents act as catalyst. Now a days parents used to impose their desire and dreams on their children.Consequently mental stress rises exponentially leading to the act of suicide and state of depression.

Level Of Mental Stress On Young Generation

Problem:- Mental stress on a child has increased.

Solution:- Nature of Pedagogy should be in a way, favorable with children.Parents should not impose their desires and dreams on their children.Every child is special,every child has a special talent.Provide them care and love and help in enhancing their mental strength so that their confidence in themselves will increase.They need these things because they are the future of our country.How would be our next society and culture largely depends on them.

  • In this world of growing technology,nearness and full of connections it is almost impossible for anyone to remain unaware about the culture following in different parts of the world,specially to our young generation.They are crazy about being modern and in their journey of modernization they are more attracted towards western culture.Regarding this they have accepted some freaky ideas of western culture.Now a days,physical pleasure are preferred by them over mental pleasure in almost every aspect,whether their life is concerned or whether their love.In search of physical pleasure they often commits crime.They are the building blocks of our society and culture.What would happen to our future generations if they themselves solely tends towards western culture?Modernization is necessary but it should be in a way so as to preserve our culture and values.

Problem:- Physical pleasure is preferred by our young generation over mental pleasure.

Solution:- Parents should take care of their teens.They should restrict their teens up to some extent.Freedom is necessary but it should be in a limit.Parents should also be frank with their teens as like friends.Parents should give lessons to their teens about the consequences of bad habits prevailing in society,and how they can contribute in removing them.They should also make their teens frank with them and their family.Parents should discuss each and every issue of their teen among themselves and should tackle it patiently and smartly.If a proper care is given to them,they can be a responsible Indian in the Future.

Conclusion

So in past 10-15 years our Indian Culture has changed a lot.These changes were very much necessary for the development of our society.Still we need some changes.A custom or tradition that does not change over time,becomes poison for the society. Indian Culture has an immense power to incorporate changes remaining it’s other values intact. With technologies spreading all over the globe,we should learn different methodologies and cultures from different parts of the world.We should incorporate them in our culture too,but in a civilized way so that we can also preserve our own culture.

There are some negative aspects of change in our Indian culture but they can be solved easily if we take them in account seriously.For any Culture to be strong and society to be developed,the children and the young generation should be strong, mentally,socially,physically,technically and culturally.And If our culture would be strong and society would be developed then,automatically our Country will be in the list of developed  countries. blog.oureducation.in
