As a portuguese person i can tell you that we don't learn that we discovered india, we learn that we were the first ones to discover the sea route to india, and that's it.
I hate you'll the amount of bs you'll have done to us, you guys are alive because of us, most of you'll where dieing due to lack of resources but then Indians helped you'll and you'll in return stabbed us in the back.
My father is very dark skinned. So when I was growing up , he used to say the day I was born he was happy but what made him happier was that I didn't get his skin tone. So imagine how much insecurity we have with our own skin tone.
Im don't have a dark skin i kinda have tan skin and my sibling and cousins have light skin tone. But my family never pointed this out to me, im thankful for that. Off course i pointed out and had this insecurity cause some friend was trying to make herself better, but you know what i don't care about my skin tone
Same i have fair complexion because of my mom and my father was dark skinned and he used to apply fair and lovely at that time, then i got to know about how skin tone works and now if someone try to change of "compliment" me i tell them about how it goes because i have skin allergies and sensitive skin which comes from living in a tropical zone.
I'm 18 & I play *harmonium* & have learnt *Rabindra-Sangeet* & Indian classical music upto 2nd Year. Yet I've been listening to Hip-hop, UK / US drill, JP Anime OSTs, phonk since for many years now. Music defies all cultural bounds & unites us.
True. I'm learning guitar and some people say you're learning western instruments and you don't care about Indian culture!! Even harmonium is not an Indian instrument and Rabindranath Tagore also banned harmonium. And now we can't even imagine Rabindra sangeet without harmonium, most of the song's instruments in movies have guitar sound in it.
But respecting our culture and our music is also important... We dont even try to understand what is the meaning of our music .. that is not good... Otherwise every music is good in its own way
Mee too i've learnt classical music and rabindra sangeet both uptill 5th year but what people fail to understand is you can losten to both without abandoning or disrespecting the other
That's true, I've played harmonium since I was like 9 or 10 (I come from a family with music background) and pretty much play more Indian instruments. Doesn't stops my love towards kpop and japanese (English and Hindi are now falling from there places so). And that will never mean that I'll stop listening or performing hindustani vocal music cuz it's my roots.
@@sharjjahnaziz4122 I find it little offensive. You don’t want to use a term because you think that’s something below your level. And you can’t simply ignore that we exist! It’s the mentality that should be changed. Not the colour ♥️
Thats what happening now. You remember your culture but dont follow it. Thats the problem. What is the use of remembering it when you dont follow it. You follow justin Bieber and buy tickets for his concert so he can earn and continue what he is doing. You remember classical dance is our culture but you dont attend the program so the ones who is doing will stop it and if everyone follows western culture who will preserve our culture.
@@Saberberry42069 hell... if you say like this that we shouldn't forget our culture you will definitely forget one day. Say we must practice our culture everyday.
Supporting foreign cultures is not a bad thing. Foreigners are wearing sarees, playing Veena and reading Gita as well. The problem is neglecting our own culture in the process.
Exactly. But the sad part is majority of indians are always upto west and have forgotten their own culture and see it as inferior that's where tragedy arises.
As an Indian working abroad, I will say that many things we should follow Western Culture. Despite being a beautiful country many of the foreigners don't choose India for tourism due to cleanliness reasons. They are right. We must change😢
Of course we should be clean, be respectful towards all genders etc. - not because westerners do it but because it's the right thing to do.

@@AKNikki217 Idk but I’m from a well off family and studied in an English medium school….. dps to be precise. 1. We had regular eastern music and dance classes as juniors. 90% people chose guitar and piano later on in the extracurricular program 2. We had western dressing because we were an English medium school. Also you would notice that sarees or dhotis in general are a pretty vulnerable clothing and allow less movement of freedom. Almost any sport you play will be restricted if you wear these. 3. We had a full on 2nd language and 3rd language class till grade 10. We never really had any issues with speaking in our native language. I’m trilingual like the majority of indian people. 4. I’ve read scores of sst books and had my jolly time interacting with kids from different schools. No one said vasco da gama discovered india. It’s told nowhere. 5. About pop culture taking over, it’s simple really. Pop is more sellable and appeals more to the general audience. Now, what this woman is trying to do is, enforce her personal preferences over anyone because she feels its right. It’s not. Indian, American, Australia, jamaican, nigerian…. It rlly doesn’t matter when it comes to your preference. Pop is dirt cheap. You can actually listen to it for free with an internet connection. Next up, it has a more melodic sound. Because it’s a symphony of several instruments and harmonics together. It is naturally and even scientifically the better sound to the ears.

India does not have any national language or monolingual policy, and English is the only language accepted as a second official language from every state, so that's why we use English! My first language Kannada and my second language English that's what I know! Please respect every Indian language

This is modern dance, Classical dance is so fricking boring. Except of pranavalaya or shape of you indian which are good to hear. Please stop forcing people to watch classicak danves as it is boring

@@diyakuwalekar4338I personally think change is sometimes good. If someone wants to wear traditional, they can as it's their choice and if I want to wear western,I can as it's my choice.
As a European Id like to say that this is the effect of modernity, not exactly Westernisation. Although the two might seem similar, modernity is affecting every culture and people. In Europe our traidtional dance, culture and religion are being neglected because we have become obsessed with modern music, food etc. I hope India can find balance between tradition and modernity 🇪🇺❤🇮🇳
That's not modernity, that is simply stupidity that's why so many european leaving their stupid culture and embrace the culture of India, maintaining old culture it's a beautiful thing , western world has money nowdays that's why people of the eastern world go to west and settled over there and embrace their life style. Each ancient culture was beautiful still many countries protect their ancient culture and it seems very beautiful rather than following stupid western life styles but in case of India due to political conspiracy indian culture has slowly slowly declined.
@@jasminscarbrough2596 In most cultures being white is connected with nobility. Even in Europe. Back in the day peasants would work under the sun and get tanned meanwhile nobles would stay indoors and keep a fair skin. Thats why being white is connected with beauty in many places. Also in Europe and America a huge amount of women pay money to become darker and more tanned.
Actually I agree with you mam...as being having the dream to become a Classical tabla player...I am too living the same cruel reality...😢😢😢...Although I am just a little student of Classical Music now
No I totally disagree, not every classical dancer is famous right. We still don't know billions of small singers. I have some friends in South they are extremely famous so people DO go and watch their performances.
There is a vast difference between classical arts and pop culture. . Pop culture is available on youtibe, TV, radio, it finds you vs classical I don't even know where it is performed . Pop culture is relatable, lyrics and video is self explanatory vs classical needs explanation about stories told, expressions, meaning of steps = not 1 performance does this. Yes, govt doesn't want us to learn this and instead wants us to learn choir but that outs burden on performers of classical . Pop culture is dearth cheap vs classical performances start at 3000rs for some far away seat which is as good as not going.
yep unfortunately. its not really racism like it is in the US or other western countries, but it's classism. supposedly, people who were more poor did manual labor and worked outside, tanning from the sun. the upperclassman and aristocrats wouldn't go outside as often, hence being paler. the idea of skin being indicative of your placement on a social hierarchy was passed down onto generations, to what it is today, even in the modern world. now it's adapted into more of a beauty standard, rather than your wealth, but it still roots to classism.
@@yrmomjdkskks ye I also associated it more w classicism than racism. Ppl would compliment my fair skin as a kid and I'd be confused as to why light toned skin is so hype, I've been around other times of skin for as long as I can remember and the differences in our skin never crossed my mind till grown ups around me mentioned it.
That's a lie... I have many friends in Asia and Asia Pacific. It's a very common and popular event that young unmarried women are attracted to darker skinned men. Lighter colored men are often overlooked. The only time light skin or white is popular is if they're from the west or American because they are looking for the financial stability (assumption that all non-asians are rich and live like Hollywood).
@@briangilbert9077 it true that a lot of us here want a non asian partner for some kind of stability. But we are talking abt ppl and THEIR skin color not their partners or others. See the difference?

People in India don't care if a person can speak 10 Indian languages but laugh at him when he doesn't know English. English is considered a standard more than just a language. It's sad that people are ignoring the culture, language and tradition that has deep roots and goes way back in the past. Edit: To all the people saying that I wrote this comment in English. I did not say we shouldn't be learning or speaking in English. I just said people should consider it just as a language and give equal importance to their mother tongue too. I totally agree that English is a must for communication considering the diversity in India and also it's the global language.
Well living under British occupational regimes made it acceptable for learning and using English to get at par with global stuff etc. Even Bollywood used English to make it's reach in Europe and American continent, nearly every Bollywood star spoke in English starting from late 80s...
It's actually true though, if someone can speak english fluently, they have a much higher chance of being successful financially and academically than someone who can barely speak english.
There r so many languages in India, English is the one that brings everyone together. Mocking someone over their English is wrong but at the same time u cannot deny the fact that fluent English gives u more opportunities both in India and abroad. Know ur mother tongue AND English as well 👍
1. Justin Bieber got some huge audience. In the same way as ARR gets or Anirudh gets. (Music has no language) 2.

Vasco de Gama discovered the sea route to India. He didn't discover India itself. The entire world knew exactly where India was.
I am from Himachal Pradesh. Once my nephew greeted his teacher by Namastey in market. The teacher immediately scolded him. He said that your parents are spending so much on your education and you are still saying namastey instead of good morning. I was literally shocked to hear it. People are not even respecting Hindi let alone Pahari. A person who talks in Pahari is considered backward and illiterate even if he has a PhD.
This is what I’m scared of! I have been told many times by a lot of people, that sitting in a cross legged posture is not manners! A lot of times by teachers too!! And that’s sickening!

Those people who abuse each other because of their nationality, religion or race are the real illiterate ones no matter how much knowledge they have. Those people are disgusting
*Counter argument* 1) It's because of Starbucks hype and trend. Even in Pakistan people were waiting in line when Tim Hortins 1st opened (which was yesterday) 2) I found Pants more comfortable and a lot of people too. But I don't mind if you wear dhoti or Vesti. 3) Even the typical "Posh Aunties" who make their children talk in English. Their children know how to read and write in their native language because you need to study minimum 2 languages unless your family migrated to other states. 4) Because Justin was really popular not only in India but the world so ofc you'll find this kinda response. A lot of people grew up watching traditional dances so it doesn't excite them anymore Fair skin argument is correct btw. No one should be obsessed with skin colour
*Solutions to ur arguments* 1.) I would prefer Cafe coffee day than Starbucks coz i like it more.... Plus it's an Indian brand. Even though I live in an industrial town there is no Starbucks in 30 km region. 2.) I know jeans is comfortable.... So absorb or digest that garment from the west and east up their right to claim it their ....you'll need to do propaganda for this. Also in the west (and in india too) what do they wear in their homes ....pyjamas..... Actually pajama (fuckin westy accent 🤣🤣). 3.) Don't worry about the "Posh Aunties" ... capitalism is the right way to solve this problem..just add some money in speaking Sanskrit and respective regional languages.... I am sure the aunties have more obsession with sarkari Naukri than English.... 4.) 😅😅😅..... Justin is not the same anymore ...listen to his songs now. total crap ...and guess who are the cutie romeos nowdays?? .....the kpop idols ....do they sing in English. No but in Korean. It's not a problem create pop music in Sanskrit ....i speak this as a musician. I guess this answers your question....
Fair skin obsession is not because of British but because 40% of Indian girls are white. Like Girls from Kashmir, Punjab, whole of North East, Himanchal Pradesh, Uttarakhand,U.P. khattris, Brahman, Sindhi Punjabis, Shia Muslims a lot of Gujratis and some Maratha community people, Haryanvis.Cmon we are also Indians. So obviously Girls who are not so fair obsesse over fair skin tone . Like people always obsesse about my skin. But I never never saw a dark girl having a bad time.
@@mileshul 1. That's your own preference, but starbucks will always be seen as superior by the general public coz of it's status. Just like how Versace and Gucci are superior brands than Levis or Flying Machine. 2. Didn't get what you said in the first half. Paijama is a urdu word and this garment originated in the Ottoman Empire in 13th century. So it's not 100% indian as you might think. 3. If learning sanskrit made a hefty amount, ofc people would learn it. But the reality is, it doesn't. So the only incentive to learn sanskrit is to read religious scriptures. And as we know people in india as mostly hindus (or muslims) by label, they don;t bother learning sanskrit. 4. Again, a personal preference. There are no popular songs in sanskrit, so the people aren't to be blamed for that. In India, there are far greater number of fans for punjabi and hindi singers.

@@Keerthihistory not only in India in entire world classical music is considered boring, even western classical music and the entire world wears western clothes.
The main conclusion is you can't force people what to like whether Indian or Western. Indian traditions have a lot of qualities and attractiveness, but, are not performed at the frequency that others are mainly due to productional constraints at the commercial level. Secondly, there is a lack of institutions which focuses in imparting skills in these art forms. Outside India, there are big institutions of cultural arts which produce thousands of skilled students in their respective domains. Thirdly, the audience will always respect skill, no matter what art form it is. Korean industry is not western but it has a large global audience mainly because of its well-developed institutions and an environmental support from guardians to pursue a career in arts. Here, we only focus on academic lines of careers and hence the skills required for a professional in a career of arts goes missing. Hence, instead of telling people to watch Indian cultural art forms, focusing on bringing up the skills in the performers will do the required job.
1. Starbucks has an international brand value. Not just in the west. They also have the highest quality beans roasted evenly which is not comparable to filter coffee in india cafés. Some might prefer that but youngsters were excited because they wanted to know what the hype was about. Also, India neither has very high disposable income for Starbucks, neither does it have a coffee culture. So Starbucks will only find a niche in tier 1 cities. Majority of Indians will stick to filter coffee or the classic - chai. 2. I agree with the indian clothes. Lungi is far more comfortable and we should bring back indian clothing. But indians don’t look down upon indian clothes. We still wear it on special occasions and parties. Jeans and t-shirt aren’t traditional western clothes. These are modern inventions. Which is why it’s the norm in most countries, not just india. 3. English has a mass appeal. It’s the most spoken language in the world. It’s also only one of the western languages. Your point would have made sense if more indians were learning Spanish, German, Italian, French than their native languages. Learning my native language doesn’t help me speak with as many people. At most I can converse with village elders. On the other hand, English is a unifying language to majority of the world. You would be making your video in your native language if English wasn’t an effective medium of mass communication. 4. You also comparing Justin Bieber who’s a pop singer with classical music. You need to realize that with time, the taste of people change. Why not compare him to indian pop singers like Arijit Singh? Or compare indian classical music to western classical music? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative? 5. Obsession with fair skin needs to stop. Completely agree with that point. 6. Vasco da gama point was also valid. I remember learning that and it made no sense.
@@azeem5471 Colourism is thing in India mainly because of british colonization and our minds haven’t been decolonized yet. “Light skin = Beautiful and Dark Skin = Ugly.” This association needs to stop. It is often deeply ingrained upon us by the society and darker skinned people are often discriminated against because of this. India is a country of largely dark skinned people. Yet, how many dark skinned actresses can you name? Most of the actresses are light skinned. Even if they are dark skinned, heavy makeup, editing and lighting is applied to lighten their skin tone. Only 39% of the US population is black and yet their media has more dark skinned representation than in India. Even if you see depictions of Krishna in tv shows, you will see him being depicted as fair skinned even though his main defining characteristic in the Geeta is that he’s dark skinned. This is because Indians are so high on the fair skin superiority complex that they can’t even accept their gods being dark skinned. Fair and Lovely had been fueling this bias and profiting on the insecurities that they created for decades, selling literal bleach for skin. We even have slangs for dark skinned people like “Kalu” or “Kalia”. We still see dark skinned as inferior and discriminate against them.
Yes if we say speak one language then they would say ki why shouldn't that language be our States langauge or something like that I mean i really want to learn hindi.well but I am not that good
The fact that she has made this in English is also interesting because she is targeting a audience from across india the thing is if Hindi would've been made as a national language than that's an issue and also if we want to know our language Fully we shouldn't be shamed or looked down upon i believe English is an important tool since it's a global language.
Actually, as someone who has lived in the US and has a lot of American friends, Americans are OBSESSED with tan skin. They get fake tan treatments and use darker foundation tones to appear tan
Yeah see? They do the same but doesn't mean they're depriving their culture. If I use sunscreen because I dont wanna get tanned, does that mean I don't appreciate our culture. This is madness. If people don't understand the younger generation, they shouldn't speak about it without knowing
Or dumb thoughts? She's definitely right about skin tones and lack of respect for mother tongues etc. But comparing a classic to modern gen pop it's really dumb. Ppl love more hype than classics... To enjoy. It's not only indian classical dances but also will happen if it's a classical piano concert in West. Even noticed how oscars winning movies r so unrecognizable? They r deep complex arts. And ppl love more simple or hyping things first. Simple! Don't act like ppl are insanely crazy for classical music any where in the world and remember india doesn't only loved jb but also arijit singh. Starbucks got more recognition cuz it's a famous act happens worldwide and it's newly happened here... So the craze is understandable.... Where indian food we eat everyday in home in functions and even restaurants... why would anyone be sooo excited to taste the same? Man doesn't know how to wear dhotis cuz the generation has changed? Clothes style has changed? So from now stop using bus train plane maybe and travel by foot Or in palki... Would it make sense?

Bcz I love to listen kpop songs and I listen various types of songs not only kpop. But only seeing my channel's vdo, you can't judge me like that.🙄 . Everyone is different.

It’s not western obsession, just preference. Times change and people’s choices change too, absolutely nothing wrong with that. There’s a difference between culture & preferences 😊
Sure, this is Kali yuga and people are ignorant. Spirituality is ingrained in our culture to keep the belief in God alive. And more and more Hindus are acting like atheists these days. Sure you can like the hedonistic western ways. But, why not love our culture at the same time? Times should improve us. Not regress us.
@@naraendrareddy273 preferences have nothing to do with religion. I am super religious but listen to English music. Dosent make me less “cultural”. I know sooo many religious people who are terrible humans. Lord Vishnu always said his greatest devotees are the ones who remember him in their heart. Culture & preferences are different things. Don’t get them confused 😇
I have seen girls wearing Jeans and boots inside of a temple and doing TikTok. Now if you call it just preference then I am sorry, you've already learned many things by social media. I won't waste my time here. 🙏
@@Yabo-pw1wr that’s not preference, that’s foolishness. Who ever said that was okay? We’ve seen poojaris and swamaji’s rape young girls, is that justifiable because they’re religious???

My daughter at age of 6 wanted to learn western dance , she left in 15 days beacuse of pain. I inspired her for Bharatanatya and also promised that there will be pain for 3 months and there after it will become habbit. Its almost 6 months she is learning bharat natya. All of a sudden at age of 9 she started learning flute. It all depends on parents how they encourage.
Tbh as a Pakistani we have the same problem the lower class is portrayed wearing duppatta and traditional clothes where as rich people are showed wearing western clothes and speaking English 💔we recently have a case in pak where a teacher punshies student for not speaking English in class the teacher cover the students whole face in black ink and made him visit every class to show other students as a punishment the kid only spoke 2 sentences in Urdu Imagine the trauma the child will have for his whole life💔💔💔 And I salute u to talk about this issue openely much love and support to u From🇵🇰
COUNTER ARGUMENT 1.Starbucks got a grand welcome by the people because of its hype and services 2.Pants are more comfortable that's why people have stopped wearing vesti or dhoti. 3.I have completed my schooling from an English medium school but I can read and write my mother tongue because my parents have taught me.PARENTS NEED TO TAKE THAT RESPONSIBILITY.Ok but people have their own choices. Maybe someone doesn't enjoy classical dances and songs so they rather listen to English songs what's wrong with that? 4.our obsession with dark skin yes agreed
Pants are more comfortable? Have ever wear dhoti or vesti a single time in your whole life for real ? It's definitely not comfortable And when it comes to preserving and knowing about your cultures and heritages it's your parents responsibility to teach you? You don't have any responsibilities towards your culture ? And you're asking what's wrong with ignoring and hating classical songs and listening to English songs ? Simple answer , your ignorance will led to the extinction of classical music in india , just because of your this attitude we had already lost Dhrupad in North India , and Instruments like Rudra veena in South India . And you are just killing your own culture by hating it . And at the end of the day it will be your own fault for killing India and its culture . It's maybe harsh but this is the reality , there is no counter argument for your own faults .
Not enjoying classical dance and music and having your own choice is okay but there are many people who haven't even explored the classical music . They don't have any idea of what it is . They might have just listened to one song years ago, found it boring or just believe to what others around them think and formed the opinion that classical is boring .
I believe the same. We can't always expect everyone to be inclined towards their own culture and not be influenced by western culture even a bit. It also depends upon one's freedom and choice we can't be biased about it.
Then you don't know the concept of soft power and playing with consumer psychology to create a market..........every popular thing in world needs promotion and it's very easy to become prey to that ..... it's a long process and very impactful also....west has already used the very powerful tool called guilt of our own culture against us that its not conscious anymore but works unconsciously...........
Agree with everything except pants Bro dhoti is wayyyy more comfy than suffocating pants You can say pants look formal but ain't no way they are more comfy than dhoti
Come on, not everyone in India speaks the same language. She cannot address everyone with whatever her mother tongue is, not even with Hindi. English is by far what almost everyone can understand.
I agree with india's obsession over fair skin, but others i dont, Cuz we support what we like. This is a new generation, a evolving one, u cant expect for things to stay the same. And plz i hate when people start talking abt indian and western culture, all of us are humans, just enjoy what this life has to offer us, take in everything, live ur life to the fullest. and does she even know the meaning of the word "Discover"?? When we say that vasco da gama discovered india, it means he found that india also exists. There is nothing inferior or disrespectful in indians saying vasco da gama discovered india. Even in a foreigner's point of view it means the same. I dont like this channel at all. Feeding indians false information and hate.
You can't degrade pop culture. People listen to JB because they love his music and if people aren't interested in classical dance or music you can't force them to put their money into it.

It's not caste system it's because of colonial history as we know India was first invaded by Mongols and they were with skin then Britishers not to mention they were to white skin over a period of time indians mindset changed and they started to think whites are superior over brown we are brown skin not black and nowdays to people have this psychology it will take some more time to change that
Its not the western culture they adore its the amount of freedom , independency and how less judgemental they are that people adore. And the language...since India does not have any particular language everyone can understand or communicate in and also since kids are educated mainly through english , it has become a language that not all but atleast a great majority can understand and communicate through.
Yes we need English because it's a global language and also English is the only language accepted as a second official language from every state of India.

As a brown skinned girl I understand it very well. My sister is fairer than me. And each and every relative/ friends/ neighbour had said it in my face in a manner that I would feel more insecure. But the worst I felt when my Parents did the same too😢😢😢 and do you know when it started when my little sister just born and I was only 6. Yah! I didn't even know what is the meaning of preety exactly. Imagine a 6 years old girl knowing that she is not beutiful and can never be. Because of her skin colour. My childhood would have been much better if nobody had told me these lies. I used cry because of this for hours literally. But, now I know it's not me, but the people who were blind. Who are able find ugliness even in a child.
You got skin darker than your sis is because you have a Lil bit melanin in your skin more than her, nothing more actually it's the lack of this science about skin that most people think dark skin is bad and when you start to realize it, you'll feel guilt for the person who says fair skin is more beautiful and at least in your mind you feel it's like a comedy or fun as theyre speaking nonsense, and it's my personal experience I also have dark skin
Say what u want, but as a brown skin girl I always think that women who had darker skin always looked healthier and more youthful...your dark skin should be the reason why u feel beautiful, u should NEVER feel insecure because of your dark skin...you know why? Because when u eventually gain the confidence to flaunt your dark skin and show people how beautiful you really are with your skin color, you will then start to realize how beautiful your skin really is... Show the world how beautiful dark skin truly is, don't hide yourself because of it ❤️ you're beautiful with it and exactly just the way u are, I promise
Sister don't worry even I have a darker skin tone than my younger brother, we have an age difference of 6 years and my relatives, parents and friends said my brother looks better than me due to his skin colour... I did not give a shit, I just ignored them. For you it might be a different case since you are a girl, but just take my suggestion, don't give a shit about it . Your life will instantly go better

She spoke correctly, full points for her thoughts. But ironically, she spoke in English (a language foreign to us). Did anyone realise this? Edit: Folks! I am not doubting her works or criticising her. She is an amazing person, I personally love her channel. I just tried to make the point that for highlighting our culture, we still need English as a connecting language. That's the irony of the situation. Hope the day comes soon, when Hindi would unite all Indians. State languages are very important and so are Hindi and English. Importance of none of the languages can be doubted.
Why do we use English in every field of India? *(Why do we need English)* 1) India is a *"multilingual"* country & we have a different language family's *(Indo-european, Dravidian, indo-iranian sino-tibetan, Tibeto-burman, Semitic, astro-asiatic Etc..)* & India has no _-national language-_ or any _-monolingual policy-_ the country of India is a *"union system'* and "all languages are respected equally" 2) Only English is recognized and used as the *"second official language"* in all states of India! (After their state's official language) 3) English is the only language used in all fields of India *(science, technology, education, medical, business, job field, information, space field, Navy, etc..)* 4) English is emerging as the future *"lingua franca"* of India and the World 5) English is *"indispensable"* today and giving more value to "English" after our "State language" is also good for our financial empowerment. It is better that we accept the reality and equally important to respect all our Indian languages..
As a classical dancer.. I have been through this very badly.. In collage there were no houtings aur appreciation for classical dance but as soon as a western dancer came with almost half of the clothes which was in her body.. Make people to do appreciation and houtings just bcoz she is halfely naked??😒 Huhh harsh reality😢
I do appreciate your sacrifice but please not that female dancers in west that wear full clothes would still get more attention than you. Classic is a form for the pursuers. And pop appeals more…… you would complain the same if arijit singh did too. He is indian and sings in hindi. The only difference is that his music is more appealing
While I do appreciate your passion for classical dance, I think it's wrong to shame the people who are into Western dance. Art should unite all. People being more interested in Western dance need not be only due to the difference in clothes.. Perhaps younger audience finds the music and the dance steps more fun than classical. Why shame the dancers on their clothing? Why shame the audience by assuming they are enjoying only the skin show and not the dance itself?
Not really I performed for my assembly in school I did a small Bharatnatyam dance like 3 mins long and the crowd like fell silent no one was saying anything, but as my dance was about end all I could here was clapping and my friend who went before did a western dance everyone after the assembly was saying their dance was horrible
People are free to appreciate or follow any culture but it should never come at the cost of forgetting & disrespecting their own roots. India's vibrant culture is absolutely beautiful (apart from the few superstitious traditional aspects). It should be preserved and cherished.
I'm not saying that India's culture is bad but a person can follow any type of culture he wants to there's no reason to force someone to like a specific culture just because they are born at that place, well no offense
Wellllll what if people think their own culture is boring? Society is changing my guy most people don't like traditional dances / music while modern dances and things seem more interesting to this generation. Ofc people are going to choose things that that like to do then "follow culture" forgetting your own culture mean that you don't like it and there's a big difference between not liking and disrespecting and bro literally most young people don't care about"preserving or cherishing" their culture

I think dressing has more to do with confidence than with taste. We feel more comfortable wearing what people around us wear. Also art and music is subjective. I listen to western as well as classical Indian music depending on the mood. And you can't change what people like. Forcing people to live in a certain way does more harm than good. I dare you to find a single man wearing a dhoti kurta in the streets in a city. Change is inevitable, you either adapt to it or resist it. It's up to you and you can't force it on everybody around you.
@@euniceabali6682which isn't a consumer issue - if the producers of Indian culture aren't willing to improve and change to suit the tastes of the people, they will be sidelined. Culture is only a representation of the ideas of a particular group of people, and it needs to be flexible and accepting of change.
Highly stupid the video is not about changing your taste but accepting others as well. You listen to English songs or watch their movies doesn't make you any superior from those who don't. It's about being shitty to your culture and people who follow it. The problem is with the superiority complex well no wonder in that afterall white people and their a## lickers have always been dump and egoistic
@@koraiemon that's a lie and you know it. The video is clearly a complaint about Indians spending more time and money on Western entertainment, than they do on contemporary Indian entertainment. This particular has absolutely nothing to do with people looking down on Indian contemporary art forms. Aside from that, I do agree that people who consider classical Indian art to be inferior are egotistical to the extreme. But it's equally as egotistical for one to consider classical Indian art to be superior in nature. It's a matter of taste and they're both different, and it's no one's business what kind of entertainment someone consumes.

The people who denounce their culture will some day regret it. To know who you are, where you come from, to have something special handed to you from generations past like your culture is a thing of beauty.
It is kinda hilarious, how I read as finnish/austrian this kind of creep. Here around we had something called "Würstelstandel" so something existing in the past that was considered a place where you eat german/austrian fastfood, nowadays, you have everywhere "Dönner" Kebab fast food chains, the native fastfood does not even exist anymore, because it contains pork, England or rather Great Britain has an indian major and prime minister, so why should be indian native culture be something special, when company identity is replacing everywhere native tradition it is not just "darker skinned" culture exclusively a target and a majority of white places consider tanned skin color more beautiful, I guess it depends on what you do not have, which is the thing someone craves.
This is not an obsession for western culture. It is an obsession for the rich culture,. We all see those countries as developed nations with all wealth prosperity, so naturally we feel they are superior than us. We feel Their language, culture, way of life, their skin color must be superior than us. Thats why they are richer than us. Just take a look at the long waiting list of people who want to get a green card, every year lakhs and lakhs of people are leaving their citizenship.

True. I'm learning guitar and some people say you're learning western instruments and you don't care about Indian culture!! Even harmonium is not an Indian instrument and Rabindranath Tagore also banned harmonium. And now we can't even imagine Rabindra sangeet without harmonium, most of the song's instruments in movies have guitar sound in it.
Exactly music knows no language. Just because you play piano or guitar doesn't mean that you are forgetting your native culture
But respecting our culture and our music is also important... We dont even try to understand what is the meaning of our music .. that is not good... Otherwise every music is good in its own way
Mee too i've learnt classical music and rabindra sangeet both uptill 5th year but what people fail to understand is you can losten to both without abandoning or disrespecting the other
That's true, I've played harmonium since I was like 9 or 10 (I come from a family with music background) and pretty much play more Indian instruments. Doesn't stops my love towards kpop and japanese (English and Hindi are now falling from there places so).

Idk but I’m from a well off family and studied in an English medium school….. dps to be precise.
1. We had regular eastern music and dance classes as juniors. 90% people chose guitar and piano later on in the extracurricular program
2. We had western dressing because we were an English medium school. Also you would notice that sarees or dhotis in general are a pretty vulnerable clothing and allow less movement of freedom. Almost any sport you play will be restricted if you wear these.
3. We had a full on 2nd language and 3rd language class till grade 10. We never really had any issues with speaking in our native language. I’m trilingual like the majority of indian people.
4. I’ve read scores of sst books and had my jolly time interacting with kids from different schools. No one said vasco da gama discovered india. It’s told nowhere.
5. About pop culture taking over, it’s simple really. Pop is more sellable and appeals more to the general audience. Now, what this woman is trying to do is, enforce her personal preferences over anyone because she feels its right. It’s not. Indian, American, Australia, jamaican, nigerian…. It rlly doesn’t matter when it comes to your preference. Pop is dirt cheap. You can actually listen to it for free with an internet connection. Next up, it has a more melodic sound. Because it’s a symphony of several instruments and harmonics together. It is naturally and even scientifically the better sound to the ears.

As a European Id like to say that this is the effect of modernity, not exactly Westernisation. Although the two might seem similar, modernity is affecting every culture and people. In Europe our traidtional dance, culture and religion are being neglected because we have become obsessed with modern music, food etc. I hope India can find balance between tradition and modernity 🇪🇺❤🇮🇳
That's not modernity, that is simply stupidity that's why so many european leaving their stupid culture and embrace the culture of India, maintaining old culture it's a beautiful thing , western world has money nowdays that's why people of the eastern world go to west and settled over there and embrace their life style. Each ancient culture was beautiful still many countries protect their ancient culture and it seems very beautiful rather than following stupid western life styles but in case of India due to political conspiracy indian culture has slowly slowly declined.
And the global skin color epidemic?
@@jasminscarbrough2596 In most cultures being white is connected with nobility. Even in Europe.

No I totally disagree, not every classical dancer is famous right. We still don't know billions of small singers.
I have some friends in South they are extremely famous so people DO go and watch their performances.
There is a vast difference between classical arts and pop culture.
. Pop culture is available on youtibe, TV, radio, it finds you vs classical I don't even know where it is performed
. Pop culture is relatable, lyrics and video is self explanatory vs classical needs explanation about stories told, expressions, meaning of steps = not 1 performance does this. Yes, govt doesn't want us to learn this and instead wants us to learn choir but that outs burden on performers of classical
. Pop culture is dearth cheap vs classical performances start at 3000rs for some far away seat which is as good as not going.
It's not just India that is obsessed towards fair skin. South Korean,China and other South-east asian countries are also obsessed towards fair skin.
Can confirm this is true for the Philippines too.
yep unfortunately. its not really racism like it is in the US or other western countries, but it's classism. supposedly, people who were more poor did manual labor and worked outside, tanning from the sun. the upperclassman and aristocrats wouldn't go outside as often, hence being paler. the idea of skin being indicative of your placement on a social hierarchy was passed down onto generations, to what it is today, even in the modern world. now it's adapted into more of a beauty standard, rather than your wealth, but it still roots to classism.
@@yrmomjdkskks ye I also associated it more w classicism than racism. Ppl would compliment my fair skin as a kid and I'd be confused as to why light toned skin is so hype, I've been around other times of skin for as long as I can remember and the differences in our skin never crossed my mind till grown ups around me mentioned it.
That's a lie...
I have many friends in Asia and Asia Pacific. It's a very common and popular event that young unmarried women are attracted to darker skinned men. Lighter colored men are often overlooked. The only time light skin or white is popular is if they're from the west or American because they are looking for the financial stability (assumption that all non-asians are rich and live like Hollywood).
@@briangilbert9077 it true that a lot of us here want a non asian partner for some kind of stability. But we are talking abt ppl and THEIR skin color not their partners or others. See the difference?

It's sad that people are ignoring the culture, language and tradition that has deep roots and goes way back in the past.
Edit: To all the people saying that I wrote this comment in English. I did not say we shouldn't be learning or speaking in English. I just said people should consider it just as a language and give equal importance to their mother tongue too. I totally agree that English is a must for communication considering the diversity in India and also it's the global language.
Yes they think if you can speak English you have a higher status
Sad reality...
Well living under British occupational regimes made it acceptable for learning and using English to get at par with global stuff etc. Even Bollywood used English to make it's reach in Europe and American continent, nearly every Bollywood star spoke in English starting from late 80s...
It's actually true though, if someone can speak english fluently, they have a much higher chance of being successful financially and academically than someone who can barely speak english.
There r so many languages in India, English is the one that brings everyone together. Mocking someone over their English is wrong but at the same time u cannot deny the fact that fluent English gives u more opportunities both in India and abroad. Know ur mother tongue AND English as well 👍

*Counter argument*
1) It's because of Starbucks hype and trend. Even in Pakistan people were waiting in line when Tim Hortins 1st opened (which was yesterday)
2) I found Pants more comfortable and a lot of people too. But I don't mind if you wear dhoti or Vesti.
3) Even the typical "Posh Aunties" who make their children talk in English. Their children know how to read and write in their native language because you need to study minimum 2 languages unless your family migrated to other states.
4) Because Justin was really popular not only in India but the world so ofc you'll find this kinda response. A lot of people grew up watching traditional dances so it doesn't excite them anymore
Fair skin argument is correct btw. No one should be obsessed with skin colour
I agree
Finally a comment that makes sense
*Solutions to ur arguments*
1.) I would prefer Cafe coffee day than Starbucks coz i like it more.... Plus it's an Indian brand. Even though I live in an industrial town there is no Starbucks in 30 km region.
2.) I know jeans is comfortable.... So absorb or digest that garment from the west and east up their right to claim it their ....you'll need to do propaganda for this. Also in the west (and in india too) what do they wear in their homes ....pyjamas..... Actually pajama (fuckin westy accent 🤣🤣).
3.) Don't worry about the "Posh Aunties" ... capitalism is the right way to solve this problem..just add some money in speaking Sanskrit and respective regional languages.... I am sure the aunties have more obsession with sarkari Naukri than English....
4.) 😅😅😅.....
Justin is not the same anymore ...listen to his songs now. total crap ...and guess who are the cutie romeos nowdays?? .....the kpop idols ....do they sing in English. No but in Korean. It's not a problem create pop music in Sanskrit ....i speak this as a musician.
I guess this answers your question....
Fair skin obsession is not because of British but because 40% of Indian girls are white. Like Girls from Kashmir, Punjab, whole of North East, Himanchal Pradesh, Uttarakhand,U.P. khattris, Brahman, Sindhi Punjabis, Shia Muslims a lot of Gujratis and some Maratha community people, Haryanvis.Cmon we are also Indians. So obviously Girls who are not so fair obsesse over fair skin tone . Like people always obsesse about my skin. But I never never saw a dark girl having a bad time.
@@mileshul 1. That's your own preference, but starbucks will always be seen as superior by the general public coz of it's status. Just like how Versace and Gucci are superior brands than Levis or Flying Machine.
2. Didn't get what you said in the first half. Paijama is a urdu word and this garment originated in the Ottoman Empire in 13th century. So it's not 100% indian as you might think.
3. If learning sanskrit made a hefty amount, ofc people would learn it. But the reality is, it doesn't. So the only incentive to learn sanskrit is to read religious scriptures. And as we know people in india as mostly hindus (or muslims) by label, they don;t bother learning sanskrit.
4. Again, a personal preference. There are no popular songs in sanskrit, so the people aren't to be blamed for that. In India, there are far greater number of fans for punjabi and hindi singers.
Vasco da Gama didn’t find India he just found a sea route to India from Western Europe.

The main conclusion is you can't force people what to like whether Indian or Western. Indian traditions have a lot of qualities and attractiveness, but, are not performed at the frequency that others are mainly due to productional constraints at the commercial level.
Secondly, there is a lack of institutions which focuses in imparting skills in these art forms. Outside India, there are big institutions of cultural arts which produce thousands of skilled students in their respective domains.
Thirdly, the audience will always respect skill, no matter what art form it is. Korean industry is not western but it has a large global audience mainly because of its well-developed institutions and an environmental support from guardians to pursue a career in arts. Here, we only focus on academic lines of careers and hence the skills required for a professional in a career of arts goes missing.
Hence, instead of telling people to watch Indian cultural art forms, focusing on bringing up the skills in the performers will do the required job.
The most sensible and smart comment I found in this thread
You just spill the truth buddy..Just spoke my words ❤💜
You just spilled the truth bro... Finally someone with brain 👏
Nice perspective
well written 👍
1. Starbucks has an international brand value. Not just in the west. They also have the highest quality beans roasted evenly which is not comparable to filter coffee in india cafés. Some might prefer that but youngsters were excited because they wanted to know what the hype was about. Also, India neither has very high disposable income for Starbucks, neither does it have a coffee culture. So Starbucks will only find a niche in tier 1 cities. Majority of Indians will stick to filter coffee or the classic - chai.
2. I agree with the indian clothes. Lungi is far more comfortable and we should bring back indian clothing. But indians don’t look down upon indian clothes. We still wear it on special occasions and parties. Jeans and t-shirt aren’t traditional western clothes. These are modern inventions. Which is why it’s the norm in most countries, not just india.
3. English has a mass appeal. It’s the most spoken language in the world. It’s also only one of the western languages. Your point would have made sense if more indians were learning Spanish, German, Italian, French than their native languages.
Learning my native language doesn’t help me speak with as many people. At most I can converse with village elders. On the other hand, English is a unifying language to majority of the world.
You would be making your video in your native language if English wasn’t an effective medium of mass communication.
4. You also comparing Justin Bieber who’s a pop singer with classical music. You need to realize that with time, the taste of people change. Why not compare him to indian pop singers like Arijit Singh? Or compare indian classical music to western classical music? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative?
5. Obsession with fair skin needs to stop. Completely agree with that point.
6. Vasco da gama point was also valid. I remember learning that and it made no sense.
Can you please explain your fifth point.
@@azeem5471 Colourism is thing in India mainly because of british colonization and our minds haven’t been decolonized yet. “Light skin = Beautiful and Dark Skin = Ugly.” This association needs to stop. It is often deeply ingrained upon us by the society and darker skinned people are often discriminated against because of this. India is a country of largely dark skinned people. Yet, how many dark skinned actresses can you name? Most of the actresses are light skinned. Even if they are dark skinned, heavy makeup, editing and lighting is applied to lighten their skin tone. Only 39% of the US population is black and yet their media has more dark skinned representation than in India.
Even if you see depictions of Krishna in tv shows, you will see him being depicted as fair skinned even though his main defining characteristic in the Geeta is that he’s dark skinned. This is because Indians are so high on the fair skin superiority complex that they can’t even accept their gods being dark skinned. Fair and Lovely had been fueling this bias and profiting on the insecurities that they created for decades, selling literal bleach for skin. We even have slangs for dark skinned people like “Kalu” or “Kalia”. We still see dark skinned as inferior and discriminate against them.
Facts bro
Yes if we say speak one language then they would say ki why shouldn't that language be our States langauge or something like that I mean i really want to learn hindi.well but I am not that good
The fact that she has made this in English is also interesting because she is targeting a audience from across india the thing is if Hindi would've been made as a national language than that's an issue and also if we want to know our language Fully we shouldn't be shamed or looked down upon i believe English is an important tool since it's a global language.

And ppl love more simple or hyping things first. Simple! Don't act like ppl are insanely crazy for classical music any where in the world and remember india doesn't only loved jb but also arijit singh.

One that was a typical American style, and second one that followed the traditional Indian customs. The Indian wedding lasted for about a week and it was so much fun!

And as per my opinion, girls wear saree and know how to wear saree but boys don't even know how to wear dhoti. Even boys are not usually seen wearing dhoti on the streets. (Except South Indians)

It’s not western obsession, just preference. Times change and people’s choices change too, absolutely nothing wrong with that. There’s a difference between culture & preferences 😊
Sure, this is Kali yuga and people are ignorant. Spirituality is ingrained in our culture to keep the belief in God alive. And more and more Hindus are acting like atheists these days. Sure you can like the hedonistic western ways. But, why not love our culture at the same time? Times should improve us. Not regress us.

COUNTER ARGUMENT
1.Starbucks got a grand welcome by the people because of its hype and services
2.Pants are more comfortable that's why people have stopped wearing vesti or dhoti.
3.I have completed my schooling from an English medium school but I can read and write my mother tongue because my parents have taught me.PARENTS NEED TO TAKE THAT RESPONSIBILITY.Ok but people have their own choices. Maybe someone doesn't enjoy classical dances and songs so they rather listen to English songs what's wrong with that?
4.our obsession with dark skin yes agreed
Pants are more comfortable? Have ever wear dhoti or vesti a single time in your whole life for real ? It's definitely not comfortable
And when it comes to preserving and knowing about your cultures and heritages it's your parents responsibility to teach you? You don't have any responsibilities towards your culture ?
And you're asking what's wrong with ignoring and hating classical songs and listening to English songs ?
Simple answer , your ignorance will led to the extinction of classical music in india , just because of your this attitude we had already lost Dhrupad in North India , and Instruments like Rudra veena in South India . And you are just killing your own culture by hating it . And at the end of the day it will be your own fault for killing India and its culture .
It's maybe harsh but this is the reality , there is no counter argument for your own faults .
Not enjoying classical dance and music and having your own choice is okay but there are many people who haven't even explored the classical music . They don't have any idea of what it is . They might have just listened to one song years ago, found it boring or just believe to what others around them think and formed the opinion that classical is boring .
I believe the same. We can't always expect everyone to be inclined towards their own culture and not be influenced by western culture even a bit. It also depends upon one's freedom and choice we can't be biased about it.
Then you don't know the concept of soft power and playing with consumer psychology to create a market..........every popular thing in world needs promotion and it's very easy to become prey to that ..... it's a long process and very impactful also....west has already used the very powerful tool called guilt of our own culture against us that its not conscious anymore but works unconsciously...........

Come on, not everyone in India speaks the same language. She cannot address everyone with whatever her mother tongue is, not even with Hindi. English is by far what almost everyone can understand.
I agree with india's obsession over fair skin, but others i dont, Cuz we support what we like. This is a new generation, a evolving one, u cant expect for things to stay the same. And plz i hate when people start talking abt indian and western culture, all of us are humans, just enjoy what this life has to offer us, take in everything, live ur life to the fullest. and does she even know the meaning of the word "Discover"?? When we say that vasco da gama discovered india, it means he found that india also exists. There is nothing inferior or disrespectful in indians saying vasco da gama discovered india. Even in a foreigner's point of view it means the same. I dont like this channel at all. Feeding indians false information and hate.
I agree with her...even people discourage somebody if a girl marries a dark skin boy or vice versa.

It's not caste system it's because of colonial history as we know India was first invaded by Mongols and they were with skin then Britishers not to mention they were to white skin over a period of time indians mindset changed and they started to think whites are superior over brown we are brown skin not black and nowdays to people have this psychology it will take some more time to change that

As a brown skinned girl I understand it very well. My sister is fairer than me. And each and every relative/ friends/ neighbour had said it in my face in a manner that I would feel more insecure. But the worst I felt when my Parents did the same too😢😢😢 and do you know when it started when my little sister just born and I was only 6. Yah! I didn't even know what is the meaning of preety exactly.
Imagine a 6 years old girl knowing that she is not beutiful and can never be. Because of her skin colour. My childhood would have been much better if nobody had told me these lies. I used cry because of this for hours literally. But, now I know it's not me, but the people who were blind. Who are able find ugliness even in a child.
You got skin darker than your sis is because you have a Lil bit melanin in your skin more than her, nothing more actually it's the lack of this science about skin that most people think dark skin is bad and when you start to realize it, you'll feel guilt for the person who says fair skin is more beautiful and at least in your mind you feel it's like a comedy or fun as theyre speaking nonsense, and it's my personal experience I also have dark skin
Say what u want, but as a brown skin girl I always think that women who had darker skin always looked healthier and more youthful...your dark skin should be the reason why u feel beautiful, u should NEVER feel insecure because of your dark skin...you know why? Because when u eventually gain the confidence to flaunt your dark skin and show people how beautiful you really are with your skin color, you will then start to realize how beautiful your skin really is... Show the world how beautiful dark skin truly is, don't hide yourself because of it ❤️ you're beautiful with it and exactly just the way u are, I promise
Relatable 😢
Sister don't worry even I have a darker skin tone than my younger brother, we have an age difference of 6 years and my relatives, parents and friends said my brother looks better than me due to his skin colour...

Hope the day comes soon, when Hindi would unite all Indians. State languages are very important and so are Hindi and English. Importance of none of the languages can be doubted.
Why do we use English in every field of India? *(Why do we need English)*
1) India is a *"multilingual"* country & we have a different language family's *(Indo-european, Dravidian, indo-iranian sino-tibetan, Tibeto-burman, Semitic, astro-asiatic Etc..)* & India has no _-national language-_ or any _-monolingual policy-_ the country of India is a *"union system'* and "all languages are respected equally"
2) Only English is recognized and used as the *"second official language"* in all states of India! (After their state's official language)
3) English is the only language used in all fields of India *(science, technology, education, medical, business, job field, information, space field, Navy, etc..)*
4) English is emerging as the future *"lingua franca"* of India and the World
5) English is *"indispensable"* today and giving more value to "English" after our "State language" is also good for our financial empowerment.
It is better that we accept the reality and equally important to respect all our Indian languages..

While I do appreciate your passion for classical dance, I think it's wrong to shame the people who are into Western dance. Art should unite all. People being more interested in Western dance need not be only due to the difference in clothes.. Perhaps younger audience finds the music and the dance steps more fun than classical. Why shame the dancers on their clothing? Why shame the audience by assuming they are enjoying only the skin show and not the dance itself?

I think dressing has more to do with confidence than with taste. We feel more comfortable wearing what people around us wear. Also art and music is subjective. I listen to western as well as classical Indian music depending on the mood. And you can't change what people like. Forcing people to live in a certain way does more harm than good. I dare you to find a single man wearing a dhoti kurta in the streets in a city. Change is inevitable, you either adapt to it or resist it. It's up to you and you can't force it on everybody around you.

Aside from that, I do agree that people who consider classical Indian art to be inferior are egotistical to the extreme. But it's equally as egotistical for one to consider classical Indian art to be superior in nature.

Don't comment without seeing the dress she wore a long dress which is made of pattu ok. 🤬😡
To say that she is pure Desi is she wore mukku pudaka (nose ring)
In the whole comment section, she only replied to those who support her
Shut up!
Come on we can't forcefully like something just because it's from India. We have our own freedom to like something
Yep, why do they think it's crime if we like something that isn't Indian? It's our freedom to choose. Starbucks has built reputation all over the world, and most people always buy products from a reputed brand.
@@AstroGoat215agree.
There are many Indian things I like and many from other countries as well.
Idk why we should like india ,just because one is born within some manmade borders...
Fr dude, these people are so idiot, they forgot we have free will and everyone have different taste of what they like.
it is your freedom but atleast we shouldn't ignore the indian ones too.
@@abcdefgh-qj7uf wym? rephrase
Especially when it comes to music & art, we should never force people to like a certain thing. Music is a universal language & we chose to follow the music, songs & genre that makes us feel connected & happy from within😌❤
The most positive comment ever I saw in this comment section 💕🌼
Do you really think that your choice of music and arts are actually yours ?? Aren't they highly influenced from others , from outside ?
Its not about forcing but awareness.. its simple as insta where toxic content will get attention but not the creative
@@chayankumarhaldar3516 Well, we are exposed to many genres of music & art everyday through people around us & through the internet. But we don't accept everything that others suggest. We tend to chose the one that we like & which gives us happiness.
W comment
Even in Arijit Singh concert the crowd is uncontrollable. U can't compare the pop culture with traditional culture. That's different. Also I am a Bengali and I know my language and I love it and also encourage people to learn their respective mother tongues.
True and everyone regretted going to Justin's concert. Tbh
Arijit for his music! but dustbin beaver for his looks! that's a difference and this is true thing
So what's you point?
But the crowd of Arijit Singh is not as much as Justin Bieber has, that's the reason why his concert is uncontrollable everywhere.
@@fukukforever bullshit😂
I am a Pakistani but love India and I love your guys classical dances and I practice at home ❤❤❤❤
I am a french from Africa and I really encourage India to not loose their culture. You have a magnificent culture. I was a big fan of Bollywood but Bollywood of today is too westernized. I made kathak class because I am crazy about your culture (classical dance, classical musical, religion, philosophy) so please indian people wake up!!!!

Lol, that’s a Sanghi clothed in a fake account 😂 mwahhh black sheep
Oe kalu
Nah it's mid
If you think Indian culture is from fuckinh bollywood then you must think that it must just be harassing women until they ' fall' for you.
As a JAMAICAN, I absolutely very proud of where I come from and treasure my culture. I most say I also love India.
As a Jamaican you likely have some amount of Indian blood. Our heritage is yours too, be proud of that
The people who denounce their culture will some day regret it. To know who you are, where you come from, to have something special handed to you from generations past like your culture is a thing of beauty.
It is kinda hilarious, how I read as finnish/austrian this kind of creep. Here around we had something called "Würstelstandel" so something existing in the past that was considered a place where you eat german/austrian fastfood, nowadays, you have everywhere "Dönner" Kebab fast food chains, the native fastfood does not even exist anymore, because it contains pork, England or rather Great Britain has an indian major and prime minister, so why should be indian native culture be something special, when company identity is replacing everywhere native tradition it is not just "darker skinned" culture exclusively a target and a majority of white places consider tanned skin color more beautiful, I guess it depends on what you do not have, which is the thing someone craves.
Did u milk ur cow today? Did you find a mice 12yr old bride? Wait what that's not our culture anymore? It is almost as if cultures evolve
My culture doesn't accept me. Also people can be whatever they want to be, no forcing
This is not an obsession for western culture.
It is an obsession for the rich culture,. We all see those countries as developed nations with all wealth prosperity, so naturally we feel they are superior than us.
We feel Their language, culture, way of life, their skin color must be superior than us. Thats why they are richer than us.
Just take a look at the long waiting list of people who want to get a green card, every year lakhs and lakhs of people are leaving their citizenship.
A recent survey showed that 95 pc of millennials wanted to study or work in these developed countries, if given a chance.
Its a classic rich vs poor divide. People will always want to see how rich kings live, richer communities live, and would dream to become like them.
@@ultra_sharp cause the developed countries offer us more choices, better options, a better lifestyle altogether. Look at our country, half the stuff I like aren't even available here, even if they are there's that huge shipping cost. And people here don't want to spend on such items either atleast not the previous gens.
Agar school me aapse history padhi hoti to history meri fav subect aur aap hamari favaroute teacher koi na we also love you sister 😊😁
meanwhile me who knows how to read, write and speak hindi and telugu
i am a classical dancer and i performed to many ppl on different festivals but when it is like a test for our dance then only our guru (teacher) or judge will be there
vasco da gama did not discover india he found a sea route which made it easier to travle to india
I have been in maharashtra ever since I was 4 but I still try to read and write my mother tongue telugu and I am fluent in speaking it

Me too but I don't know how to write Telugu 💀 but i be trying to wear a saree and my mom doesn't let me wear a saree me being a 21 yro she be like you're a kid still meanwhile my friends be rocking sarees 😢
@@vennelakanuru2452 classic Indian parents
Yaa I too know how to read and write telugu❤❤
Only one solution
"Don't take it too seriously"
Why we take matters too seriously.
literally every Indian in comment sections
Just looking at your comment i can tell you are consumed by the west
It's all about freedom. Indian culture is about live for the society and Western culture is about live for yourself. That's why people are choosing western culture. You can't blame them, we all love being independent.
Correct
Western culture is better
She herself is wearing a western dress🤣🤣
And telling us boys to wear dhoti 🤣🤣
Although I do feel we need to respect our own culture we should not be forced to follow it, its our choice
All respect to India and its entity from someone from a a great civilization ❤
The language you are speaking is not an Indian language itself.😮
Yes , that's right.😢
Don't get it wrong on her bruh
She just said PPL of out own country don't know our language that's the reason and also PPL of other others may understand English 👍
Hypocrisy at its finest. Yk?
@@ezhilarasi1878well then speaking in a foreign language won't help either.
