Critical study of Indian culture its strength and weakmnesses
1] Ancient culture
As a strength: Ancient culture affected the present culture si that people still believe in the law of karma , Upanishadas , Vedas, Scriptures which has been become inspirational forces for all .People still believe in ultimate aim self actualization and monuments .They are living with Ayurveda, yoga and meditation etc. .Which lead upliftment in their lives .The literature of ancient time has not been completely read so people are reading and follow in their lives which become strength for them.
As a weaknesses
Due to the influences of ancient culture people still believe in culture, system religion and orthodox traditions which affect the structure of the society. Thereby there is a clash between new generations to new generation. So, we can find partition ion one family and increased number of old houses. Due to caste system lower class. People are exploited and they live devoid of equality and justice.
2] Unity:
As a strength
Unity is a real strength of Indian culture. All live together with peace and harmony. NO doubt there are explosion communal riots but still Hindu, Muslim, Christian and others live together with a sense of indianness. They inculcate values together such as tolerance acceptance of different opinions fraternity etc..So different cultures and religious people has been living together. Democratic set up of Indian culture in diversity and people believe in equality, fraternity freedom- pillars of democracy.
As a weaknesses
Due to unity, people has been suffering from discrimination in terms of religion, caste and creed. They have been facing inequality, imbalance and exploitation. Owing to unity for selfish motives we can find communal riots and political leaders take advantages of it. Due to unity, in Indian culture none of ready to take initiative all are throwing responsibilities in another shoulders. So the problems of injustice and exploitation still have not been solved.
3] Flexible, easily influenced culture
As a strength
Due to flexible and easily influenced culture people has been living in multi-cultures society and for them world is a family. They inculcate different values including acceptance of different opinions, tolerance, love, fraternity flexibility of culture maintain link between different cultures societies. There is not strict rules and regulation so people feel free too live and they can easily influenced culture people can bring change in their tradition and way if lives so that their culture is modified
As a weaknesses
Because of easily influenced flexible culture people are affected by different culture so their lives style would be changed which creates clash in their family. Owing to flexibility of culture we easily identify today’s problem westernization and its impact on our culture. People are now living materialistic life. We easily identify the eroism of value in Indian culture.
4] Multi cultures and multilingual culture
As a strength
Because of multicultures and multilingual culture all has been living together with peace and harmony multilingual of culture keep a link between different cultures societies and it creates a sense of world as a family. Indians can easily interact with others which affects their social, economical, political situation thereby we can find the upliftment of Indian culture.
As a weaknesses
Multi- linguality is not perceived in the true sense because we can find the problem in communication eg youth Indian has not been accepting Hindi as their national language. In some villages people do not understand English well. And because of multi lingualty ethnic clashes has been observed in many societies, which directly affect political system of nation.
5] Democracy
As a strength
In Indian culture because of giving equal opportunities and freedom people willingly accepted India as their own country. In democratic set up an individual develops as well as a whole nation as develops. The democratic nature of Indian culture brought so many changes in rules and regulation in way of life style in culture itself etc.. And any individual can bring change in social and political and religious system. Eg our social reformers like Raja Ram Mohanray who changed sati -pratha and gave respected place to women.
As a weaknesses
Because of democracy we have found conflict and communal riots in societies wherein layman suffers as seap goal where as others easily save their lives. In democratic set-up nobody is ready to take initiative or nobody care fro others sometimes so we can find shifting from responsibilities in different societies wherein layman suffered a lot these hinder the progress of nation.
6] Negligence of material life
As a weaknesses
Now –a days in the world of science and technology everyone should accept material life otherwise they who do not accept it will log behind and keep standing on their place as they were. Today change becomes the law of life so all should keep pace with such changes and in the rapid changing world individual growth becomes very significant, No doubt, there must be spiritual fragrance in our lives but we should not forget our situations in the present era where everything is needed if you want to live peacefully. Some people have been believing in simple life style but in the world of drastic change we can not live simply. Eg computer becomes very essential now a day. In the future, if one will not connect with internet than his life will be miserable in terms of earning and learning.
7 Ecological Balance
As a weaknesses
Due to having blind faith, superstitions and ritualistic life style people do not accept ecological balance that means the balance between the relationship of plants and living creatures to each other and to their environment. In other words we can say owing to blind faith, superstitions people become lazy and contented of their lives. They don’t want change such inertia is ob served in accepting science and so they have been living in the same way.
