Things that never change in India
India has made rapid strides in almost every area of life ranging from technological advances to modernity to all aspects of life. Infact it is hard to find any one from other countries more advanced than Indians in any aspect of life. However in India there are some thing which never change and there are three things which have never changed and for a change it is for the good.
1. Newspaper is still the preferred medium:- An average person is always update with the information thanks to Internet at office and television channels at home. The fact that most mobile operators provide cheap and fast Internet ensures that they have access to information even while on the move. While the older generation still prefers to read newspapers out of choice as they are not conversant with the modern technologies except for news channels which does not require any great skills, what is surprising is that even the younger generation prefers newspaper. The first thing you find in a average persons home is a wait from morning newspaper by all members in the family from the oldest in the home to the youngest. In some houses you will find some parts of the newspaper torn as members of the family fight with each other to get hold of it.
2. Belief in God:- India has made tremendous progress in the field of education. These days you find Indians occupying top most posts in various countries. India has also made rapid strides in the field of science. Infact even an average uneducated Indian has knowledge of science thanks to the exposure through Internet and Television Channels. Many people in the past had attributed the earlier generations belief in God was due to lack of education and lack of knowledge of science but what is has been of surprise is the fact that the more educated ones believe in God more than the less educated ones. Many people go to a doctor to get their illness cured with a belief that he is the one who can help them but many doctors have openly said that God is the healer and they are only a medium.
3. Traditional wear is still the preferred wear in functions:- The last 10 years have seen more modernity in India than at any point of time. One sees men with long hair or preferring to keep their head bald while women have chosen to clothes worn by their favourite actors in movies or television serials and yet there is one thing which has never changed. There are also men who wear ear rings as well. However Indians still prefer to go in line with tradition in functions as Women still prefer to wear sarees in important functions like marriages or on festivals. The only that that probably has got changed with modernity is the style in which it is worn but the important thing that women still stick to the Saree or some other dress which is line with Indian culture.
It is really nice to see Indians going ahead with life without compromising on their rich cultural values.
