Following blindly a foreign culture

Following blindly a foreign culture

Proud nations in the world always continue their journey towards elevation while keeping their culture and traditions alive, which help them to achieve a distinguished position among all other nations on the globe.

Nevertheless, general masses in Pakistan have different priorities and they are going in a completely reversed situation as they are leaving their own traditions and are adopting foreign culture to pose them as ‘modernists’.

Such kind of mentally sick people think that their respect in the society lies in adopting foreign culture. They do not even think that by doing it, they are losing, or have lost, their own identity.

In the recent past, when we were rich in everything that is required to form a culturally rich society. We had the most fascinating traditions and also had respect in the whole world.

Countless visitors around the world used to visit Pakistan because of its distinctive culture because it was the outcome of more than one thousand years.

Nonetheless, now we stand nowhere as we are destroying our beautiful traditions with our own hands and this process has penetrated very deep in our society.

Those nations that leave their culture and adopt the foreign traditions always fail to get recognition in the world.

Because they destroy their own identity and live a life according to the standards set by others.

We have gone too far in this respect as we think ourselves superior against all society by adopting a foreign culture.

Role of media in Pakistan is aggravating this problem because all channels are busy in promoting foreign culture. Pakistani dramas, one feels that there is no local culture as it reflects a completely different picture which is not ours. 

We have currently lost our honour in the whole world as we do not love our culture and have preferred to live a life which is borrowed from others.

We need to recuperate our lost prestige we had a few decades ago and we must love our culture and traditions and have to play our role in its promotion if we really want to become a distinguished nation.
