What is culture? It is a shield against the external onslaught on society. Nothing but total sum of content we generate by our physio-social, psycho-social & bio-social interactions. This is unique for each local terrain. Strong cultural roots ensures eternal stability for society. This narratives are transmitted from one generation to another via education. Education by folk-tales, songs, purana & itihas(Ramayana & Mahabharata). Education is a process of making selfless and rooted adults out of growing minds. When education system ignores these potent tools (folk songs, folk takes, itihas, purana), it is not possible to beget selfless, strong and rooted individuals. Without such individuals, society cannot sustain for long. It is nature’s law to get rid of unfit and make room for new possibilities.
Introspect at individual level and at society level. Where do we stand? Ready for annihilation or being resilient and bounce back by strengthening roots?
