Hi Kaivalya, first let me say you have a beautiful-sounding name! Thank you so much for dropping by and for commenting in such a profound way! As I’ve written in my more recent posts, I am also studying abroad and cannot agree more with your assessment about remembering our better traditions. You’ve made insightful points I had not thought of before. I think perhaps as the community structure breaks down, people look outside familiar customs traditions for stimulation since one’s own culture is less emphasised in their environment, particularly with the more younger generation. I can’t blame them. The internet only accelerates that process.
Best wishes on your future endeavours!
