The document discusses changes in Indian culture and whether Indians have adopted Western culture instead. It notes that many Indians no longer follow traditional Indian culture and customs. It argues that the character of both men and women in Indian society has changed, with women no longer occupying the respected position they held according to traditional Indian culture. While some aspects of the statement that "behind every successful man is a woman" may still be true, it is now only partly true due to changes in gender roles and societal expectations. The document concludes by lamenting the dishonesty and evils in the modern world but maintains hope that some good remains.

1. ARE WE INDIANS OR
WESTERNS?

2. Now-a-days everyone has forgotten
the Indian Culture and is following
other cultures or not any culture. I
can't understand how people of India
say that they are Indians even though
they don't follow their own Indian
Culture.

3. The character of the Indian men and women have changed. In our Indian societies there
are many good and bad families. In the same society there are some men who respect their
wives and love them but there are some who treat their wives as slaves and don't respect
them as much as they should do. The drunkards of our societies respect neither their family
members nor other persons. Sometimes, such people beat their wives while drunk and create
many problems and harm others peaceful lives. Such people should be punished in public for
their misbehavior towards others.

4. According to Indian Culture women should be given a high position in our societies but is it
there in our Indian societies? The Holy books or scriptures used in the marriage ceremonies of
Hindus depicts the true character of a man and a woman living in the societies. Before taking the
'Sat Phera' some words or promises are given by the Bridegroom and the Bride to each other.
These seven lines represent the image of a husband and a wife which should be in our societies.
But everyone forgets it after the ceremony is once over and goes in their own way.

5. Not only men but women have also been
changed and have forgotten their original
image. According to Indian Culture, a woman
should be family loving, respectful to her
husband and all the above should have a
good character. But the sad part is that
very few women are caring about it.

6. Now-a-days almost everyone is following
the Western Culture not the Indian Culture.
So, a question comes here that are we
Indians or Westerns? Yes, many people in
our society are following their own, Indian
Culture, but maximum people not are
following it today.

7. A women has a very important role to play in our societies.
In our societies women are found in various forms viz. sister,
mother, daughter, teacher and so on. It is said that-” Behind
every successful man there is a woman.” But is it true in our
modern societies. Yes, in some cases it may be, but it is also
true that behind many unsuccessful man there are some women.

8. So, we can say that the time has changed so
much that the statement which seemed to be a
universal truth has become a partly true one due
to the change in the character of men and women.
The nature of the whole mankind has changed to
such an extent that it is almost impossible to go
back to the original and peaceful position.

9. Today our world is full of dishonesty, corruption, evils and all
the bad things. But I believe that there is still something good in it
which us helping us to survive in this world. In this vast and
treacherous world very few people are familiar with the word “Brahma”
i.e. the inner self and are believing into the outer world. In my
case, I'm familiar with the word 'Brahma' and its definition but I
can't understand it accurately.
