Day 163


This photograph was taken outside a temple.

And this image is dedicated to all those who worry about our culture and traditions being eroded by the west or anything that is non-Indian.

The pic says it all.

One culture can never be annihilated by another. Cultures do not dissolve, they co-exist. Cultures do not threaten each other, they complement.

I know there will be many who will disagree with me. And I don't blame them one bit. Because on the surface it seems like cultures are always at loggerheads and that the new and alien are taking over the old and familiar. But that is nothing but deceptive trait. For that is the nature of evolution.

Cultures are never stagnant, they evolve as humans evolve and in the process traditions (which I think are tools of cultures) get modified or dropped or retained. But the foundational-culture as I call it, will remain, forever.
