Indian culture has been embracing aspects of foreign cultures over the years.

We live in a global world with the borders becoming hazier. Goods and cultural
aspects travel across geographies. The current upward growth of India in the world
economy makes the movement of cultural aspects inevitable. There are many aspects
of Western countries that India is adopting. This has brought many benefits to India in
terms of Education, Films and movies, Dressing, Festivals, Food, Language and
Music. Due to these advances the Indian culture seems to be fading. But that this isn’t
completely true. If we come to think of it, We should know what is right and wrong for us.
Western clothing has percolated into the Indian populace quite widely yet traditional
outfits continue to remain common.

When the major Western food joints started operations in India, there were widespread fears
that it was the end of Indian foods but no such thing happened, infact, The Indian foods, with
all their regional traditional identities, have in fact grown stronger. There still continues to be
a lot of demand for idlis and dosas. The Indian culture and traditions are not getting killed.
Rather more things are getting adopted, accommodated and adapted. Every new aspect of
culture adopted does not take the place of another value, but rather adds to it. Undesirable
traditions and cultural aspects will be discarded whether they are Indian or foreign. The
valuable ones will be retained and consolidated. This is a process of evolution. It will all
make the Indian experience richer and merrier. External winds are blowing and will blow –
they’ll bring in some things of value and probably blow away some of lesser value. But
Indian Culture can surely take care of itself.
