CULTURE
What
is Culture? If we give example, one is educated family and the other is
uneducated family. In educated family, there will be only one or two children
but in rural family, there will be five or six children. Uneducated people
mostly believe in God blindly, educated family is not good because they are
corrupted. In Bhavnagar, there is a Victoria Park. Outside on the walls of the
park, there are wall paintings which show our culture through its images like
" Save Girl Child", "Save Water", "Save Lion",
and other things. These paintings are not reflected in the way but are
negatively depicted. People don't care about wastage of water, cutting trees
and other natural elements and so these paintings are necessary. One side we
call the holy river the Ganga as "Gangamaiya" and on the other side
we pollute its water and we also cut down many trees. The third point is about
majority and minority. Majority always stands on power position and minority is
dominated by them. Male are always at the centre. 25th December is Christmas
day but in our country, politicians declared it as "Good Governance
Day" as well as the birthday of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Due to this, Christmas
is not celebrated but a political leader's birthday is celebrated. And the
fourth point is the problem of marriage system. Many people are narrow
minded and don't give the permission for love marriage. There is also problem
of divorce system. Mentality of people never changes. We can take example of
Rape case. A man rapes a girl and people talk about the girl's mistake but no
one sees fault of the man and he roams freely in the society. He is not ashamed
of his bad deed. People too think that girl is bad and no one likes to marry
this girl. When we talk of food habits of people, some think vegetarians are
pure and non-vegetarians are impure. But this is false understanding of people.
People say that non-vegetarians eat chicken and meat, so they will also be
eating flies which gets into tea or anything. Does this mean vegetarians who
eat leafy vegetables also eat the leaves which grow in sewer? Religion is also
a big issue . A movie of Aamir Khan 'PK'
was released few months ago . There was
controversy about this movie because Aamir Khan is Muslim and is the hero of this
movie . Script writer is Abhishek Joshi who is a Brahmin and director is
Rajkumar Hirani . Hindus do not accept Muslims easily . most of the heroes were
Muslim from 1999 to 2014 and entertainment field was successful due to them . Dilip Kumar is also
a famous hero but his real name is Yusuf Khan. many movies like Fanna, Ek the
Tiger, Gadar etc shows heroines as foreigner or Pakistani and hero as Indian, then there is no problem
but if the situation is vice -versa, controversy arises. If a girl's age is 22
or 24, neighbours and relatives are worried about her marriage more than her
parents. In the am case, if there is a boy, no one cares much about him and
they let him free. Old people are in majority and young people are in minority.
Young writers like Chetan Bhagat, Kajal Oza, Jay Vasavada are in minority.
Through their stories and novels, we come to know about their time. New
literature reflects Culture and Civilization. Culture and Civilization are
totally different things. If we compare Urban and Rural families, we find
Urbans more educated and civilized compared to Rurals. If we take example from
Ramayana, 'Ram' had only one wife but 'Dasaratha' had three wives. Here a
question arises that having more than one wife is a good thing or bad thing or
is that person good or bad. This example proves the fourth point.
