Every culture is a
combination of some good and bad features. All in one, culture means ‘a way
of life’. Every geographical body has its own custom viz. culture. People of
different nations are recognized by their culture. One should be proud on its
impressive traditions. It is the responsibility of all citizens to preserve
their own ethnicity. Indian culture is richly known in other parts of
the world since the ancient age. But, the influence of western culture
started in India during the 19th century when the british established their
colony in the country.
Western culture, considered as the most advanced culture on globe, has started surmounting its flavour on Indian roots. Western culture has always shown its influence on Indian society. This could be for the multiple reasons like fascination, dreamy autonomy etc., which are somehow absent in Indian culture. Western culture conveys and promotes the ideas and values of advanced civilization across people of India. Westernization should not affect the core traditions of Indian society but may change the lifestyle and apparent characteristics of the society with the graceful add-ons like punctuality, trustworthiness, loyalty, professionalism should be welcomed and adored. The lack of morals, the lacking faith in God, having late night parties, the influence of drugs and alcohols, least interest in Indian languages like Sanskrit, Hindi, Celebrating mothers day, fathers day, valentine day, fools day etc rather than celebrating our Indian festivals and thus wasting their precious time of life, Thinking to be independent at an early age. But instead of this we are just forgetting our culture and are totally influenced by the western one as we feel it to be more attractive, trendy and modern which has given the top most priority in today’s world. Led by wealthy Western countries, the mass media, the fashion industry and the education curriculum, the perception of beauty is increasingly being defined by Western parameters due to reasons such as globalization, free trade and high technology. The inundation of Western culture is undeniable as it has effects that are both unconsciously beneficial and detrimental in our daily lives. Earlier we wear clothes to cover our body but today we wear it for fashion so as to look more trendy and modern. According to today’s concept the more you expose, the more modern you are which is followed by every teenager. We can just go on doing anything just to get power, name and fame without even giving it a thought of realization. Also there is no doubt in saying that by adapting the western culture our teenagers are becoming more independent, confident and self-dependent which is extremely good for our society. Reasons

In
view of the startling situation one naturally is forced to think what the
reason of the increasing criminal and barbaric trends in Indian youths is. One
thing is noticeable that as the country is heading rapidly to globalization and
westernization the ratio of such crimes is going higher and higher.
Globalization has caused a significant change in the Indian culture, society
and scenario. Late night party cultures, discos, dating clubs, fashion shows
and beauty contests have increased in numbers in the past 10 years. The
satellite and cable TV channels have grown and are almost uncensored by any
organized authority. Also, this decade has witnessed a huge increase in
pornography materials both in CDs and on Internet. The Indian entertainment
industry (national and regional) and media which have access nearly to every
house, present bold scenes and nudity as fashion and symbol of higher
lifestyle. The youths are heavily getting addicted to drugs and other
intoxicant stuffs.
At
the same time, it is regretful that Indian women have gone far away in
following the western culture in terms of nudity, immodesty and fashionable
lifestyle. The good and constructive aspects of western culture such as
discipline, hard work, dedication, tolerance, transparency, honesty,
incorruptness etc are neglected. While on the contrary, the superficial
glitters are accepted as a source to climb the zenith of development and
intellectualism. The way the daughters are dressed and nurtured is very
dangerous for them and ultimately for the society. This has caused havoc in our
social system and the sanctity of relations and respect of humanity is falling
apart.
