There's no such thing as 'Indian culture'

I'm sick and tired of ignorant middle-class loudmouths moaning and groaning about how 'Indian culture' is being 'polluted' or 'attacked' or whatever.

The list of alien things that are suposed to 'attack' the pristine culture are endless: Beauty pageants, Hollywood movies, men and women who decide that they prefer to love and live with people of the same sex as they are, men and women who decide they want to follow a different religious philosophy and convert to Christianity or Islam, western style clothes ...

Most of these morons don't understand culture at all. They want to impose a particular kind of North Indian Hindu Culture, one especially convenient to middle class and castiest considerations on the populace. Ask them what their so-caled Indian Culture is, and you'll be treated to a fantasy where everyone is subservient to the local semi-literate, superstitious, unscientific pundit. Where women are kept in their place, and where the poor 'lower castes' are back to where they belong.

Culture evolves. there are over a hundred languages in india, and a hundred different cultures. Viva la difference!
