Positive impact – there is a great change in the eating habits of Indians. They used to adore Pranthas with butter for breakfast, but now that they are concerned about their health, they are switching to healthier options like cornflakes or oats. Yoga and regular exercise became popular ways to stay fit. Negative Impact – Earlier Indians used to prefer living in a joint family, but walking on the pah of western culture, they now want to live with privacy ‘In Nuclear Families’. The current generation’s desire for freedom is decreasing responsibility toward elders. Gap in the thought process between the current generations and previous ones is widening since the current generations prefer westernization while older one favors traditional Indian customs.
A group begins to adapt to other languages and cultures during “cultural penetration.” As an illustration, we have observed a shift in the preferences of many young people for food, movies, music, and other media. The entertainment sector is a great example for considering “Cultural Penetration”. Due to this penetration, not only the current but also the upcoming generations are starting to ignore Indian culture. As a result, they are being disconnected from their roots which connect them to their ancestry. This loss will start to reflect during hard times, hence the current and upcoming generations need to understand the Indian culture, it’s essence, roots and the vast amount of knowledge it holds. After that, they ought to select the kind of culture that they want to follow.
