Let our culture evolve not die

Valentine day is coming and our nations self proclaimed warrior of Indian Culture will be back in action to save our culture. They have protected our culture and will keep protecting it.

Ram Sene got a achievment to boast about. They are saving us from so called pub culture (whatever it may mean). And how? Dozens of men (probably some might be with some weapon) beated handful of women.They saved a culture which is supposed to teach tolerance, non violence and respect towards women. A culture highly influenced by teaching of Gandhi and Buddha. Both of them have spend their life teaching non violence and tolerance.

And if it was to be the way of these moral police, they should also ban girls from getting any formal education. Even in Ramayan Ram attended gurukul but not Sita. Then why should girls go to schools and colleges. Isn't it against (their's so called) Indian culture?

Indian culture is not what these moral police (like Ram Sene) interpret. It is much different than it. It is about respect for other freedom. respect for diversity, respect for women, tolerance and peace. It is about accepting the wrong and keep improving ourself. It is about change, not stagnance.

As no human is perfect so how can we say about a culture. After all it is human, who makes a culture. As there are shortcoming in human, so there are in our culture. It is not perfect. Our civilization being among one of the oldest (along with Romans and Greeks) have survived where as other civilizations have vanished over the time.

As Charles Darwin once said, "It is not the strongest who survives, but the one who is most adaptable to change". Our culture have been continuing till now because we are adaptable and accepted change. If it would have been only stronger one to survive than Dinasours would have never vanished from earth and humans would not have continued their life till now.

History is evident humans have been shedding most of their wrong practices during these evolution. Lets accept the change and not deny them. After all there is a beauty in evolution also.
