Modernism is not the way of dressing and the way one hair looks. Modernism is a way of thinking. The extent to which Science is followed in day to day activities. There is a preconceived notion that if dressed in a modern outfit, people are so intelligent. External appearance doesn't matter. Just by seeing, people can't be judged.
We the people, give more importance to the external appearance. This ideology is to be changed. There is too much of western influence in the way of dressing and habits especially. This doesn't mean that one should not follow the western thoughts. The point is, should follow those that are good and healthy. Precisely, a group of people in traditional wear for an occasion and one is in modern outfit or the vice versa, people tend to spot differences. Should dress according to the climatic conditions and the social gatherings to be addressed.
Not alone outfits. People smoke, drink influenced greatly by the concept of westernization. Have ever given a thought why people from the west drink? People blindly follow others, at times. Comment and criticise the one who doesn't follow the unhealthy western thoughts. Western people are in polar regions and the climate prevailing is extreme cold conditions. So, to maintain the body temperature people drink and smoke. India, a tropical zone. Summer is predominant. Whats the use in smoking, living in a place like kadapa?
One should act according to situations. Adjusting according to the situation says whether one is modern or not. One should think scientifically or at the least logically before following and criticising others. Thoughts are to be modernized. One should remember " ALL THAT GLITTERS ARE NOT GOLD", composition of the elements in the metal to be evaluated, before using it. Because some may not be skin friendly.

well said! :) very true..people now-a-days have started giving their own definitions for personality,tradition or so..thereby demolishing their beautiful meaning..a pathetic situation it is.

Well said ruku :) very thoughtful one.
Every cloud has a silver lining. We may borrow the technology which might benefit us and our future generation.
It all depends on the individual's interest and his cognitive ability. In a generalized view we INDIANS have copied a lot from the west.
I totally agree with you, at least once everyone should look at the scientific part behind anything before copying cos ultimately it benefits or becomes a threat only to our culture and heritage that our forefathers have preserved.
Thank you swathi :) Yes building strong basement weak. We forget the baseline studies in many aspects.
