Westernization has adverse effects on Indian culture according to the document. Westernization occurs when a society adopts the cultural, economic, or political systems of Europe and North America. This can cause a society to leave its own culture behind for no reason, threatening traditions like lifestyle, diet, clothing, religion, philosophy, values, industry, technology, law, politics, and language. The document argues that while development may come and go, a society's roots in its culture should remain the same and need to be preserved.
