Essay topic:
Nowadays it is noticed that cultural mixing is reflected within local cultural practices. Do you think it is good for the society?
The culture of a region or area defines the society of that region. The cultural practices followed have a huge impact on the individuals of the society. As we know India is a land of cultural diversities. India is a country spread over a vast area. This huge area coverage gives it a variety of the local cultural practices that are followed by the people of the country. Every region has its own unique customs and traditions that are followed by the people residing in that area. Customs and traditions are not only based on regional divisions but also on religious basis.
If we talk about the religions in India, we know that our country is home to four major religions namely the Hindus, the Muslims, the Sikhs and the Christians. Each religion follows its own traditions. Taking an example, the Hindus and Sikhs require that all people visiting temple or the gurudwaras or attending any religious ceremonies, to cover their head with a scarf or a piece of cloth. On the other hand, the Muslims are adamant on having the females of their clan covered from head to toe whenever they visit any public place.
Nowadays, we do see a little cultural mixing with the people of different religions taking part in the festivities of other religions. Example, we see people of all religions celebrating the festival of ‘Diwali’, which was primarily a Hindu festival, with equal vigour. Similarly, other festivals like Gurpurab and Christmas are celebrated with great pomp or show.
I believe that it is good for our society that there is a mixing of local cultural practices mainly because it brings about a feeling of brotherhood between different religions and cultures. It also promotes communal harmony and reduces the chances of communal clashes between different cultural groups. Also, it provides the individuals exposure to new customs and traditions wherein they can learn about cultures different from their own and be more tolerant.
In conclusion, I would like to say that I think it is a very good idea for mixing of local cultural practices as it makes people of different ethnicities more tolerant towards other cultures. People living in a harmonious environment are the greatest assets of any nation as they can concentrate fully on the development of their country.
