m n indian, and m proud to be one. INDIA is an enigma,it is a motley collection of cultures,languages ,religions and what not. The diversity that this country posesses makes it an accomplishment in itself. I believe that a lifetime is too short a time to unravel the mystery called INDIA. The more you delve into it ,the more you get fascinated by it. No matter what your field of study may be ,it is hard to believe that it is not mentioned anywhere in the vast amount of literature this country posesses.The question which arises is:
Why do we take the knowledge provided by our ancestors,which has been preserved for centuries ...as completely senseless??why a good number of us do not hesitate to make a mockery of our ancient beliefs and traditions??
I do not profess that we should accept the old rules and follow them completely...no i would not advocate that ,but atleast we can initiate a thought process as to if a certain claim is made ,what could have been the reasons behind it???what could have caused the writer to arrive at a particular conclusion...
As science is progressing,we many a times discover that our ancient beliefs and practices have been proven to be correct for ex: Today,the essence of YOGA is recognised the world over .You never know this may give a much needed impulse to the ongoing research concerning various phenomena.
OLD MAY NOT ALWAYS BE GOLD BUT AT TIMES IT CAN BE EVEN MORE WORTHWILE...
