British people didn’t just go away; they left behind their ashes buried deep in the backbone of India.
Still India looks up to the western culture in various aspects…even after so many years of Independence.
It’s nothing wrong to look up to someone or anybody on that matter, but to what extent?? Will it ever reduce? Will India ever try to become a role model on its own…so that others would be influenced by us? Who will do it and how does one expect it to happen? Don’t you think we as an individual matter a lot as much as the nation as a whole in maintaining the image of our nation?
Our imports have always been more than our exports, the reason being we Indians trust more on outsiders than our own nationalites ! We want all branded clothes whereas we don’t think of developing a brand of our own with comparable quality, is it impossible??
Recently I watched a movie Mission Impossible 4, and I loved the movie but not the way in which India was put across…Mr.Anil Kapoor did a role of a pervert (thadki) no wonder he did justice to the role and acted well but on the expense of portraying India to be a flesh addict!!!
Was there any need to take up such a role just to get a Hollywood assignment and to publicize himself or India as the case maybe? Is it worth it? Should he have done it?
Such questions will always be of debate and an individual choice.
Few years down the line do you still see yourself influenced by the western culture to such an extent so as to blur your own identity?
