We are Indian and educated still we follower of our rigid ritual. What is culture? It's not a perfect definition and we can not cover whole within a few pages or sentence though I tried with our major religion, Hindu & Islam with politics . Islam or other critics obviously gave their good view in fervor of own religion but here they also criticized on same religion which they follow..

1. Critical view on Indian culture

4. Amartya Sen
"Half of all Indians have no toilet. In
Delhi when build a new
condominium there are lots of
planning requirements but none
relating to the servants having
toilets. It's a combination of class,
caste and gender discrimination”.

5. Jawaharlal Nehru in
his book "Discovery of
India", describes Islam
have been faith for
military conquests, he
wrote
"Islam had become a
more rigid faith suited
more to military
conquests rather than
the conquests of the
mind"
Muslims brought nothing
new to his country. The
Muslims who came to
India from outside
brought no new
technique or political or
economic structure.
Inspite of religious belief
in the brotherhood of
Islam, they were class
bound and feudal in
outlook.
Islam

6. Vivekananda commented on Islam:
• There is one God (Allah), and Mohammed is His Prophet. Everything
beyond that not only is bad, but must be destroyed. Every man or
woman who does not exactly believe in that and every book that
teaches anything else must be burnt.
• The more selfish a man, the more immoral he is. And so also with
the race. That race which is bound down to itself has been the most
cruel and the most wicked in the whole world.
• In the Koran there is the doctrine that a man who does not believe
these teachings should be killed, it is a mercy to kill him!
• And the heaven, where there are beautiful houris and all sorts of
sense enjoyments, is by killing these nonbelievers. Think of the
bloodshed there has been in consequence of such beliefs!

7. Ibn Kammuna
“Examination of the Three Faiths”
He reasoned that the Sharia was incompatible with the principles of
justice, and that this undercut the notion of Muhammad being the perfect man:
"there is no proof that Muhammad attained perfection and the ability to perfect
others as claimed.”
Short-term and limited marriages:
Shia Islam: The duration of this type of marriage is fixed and then automatically
dissolved upon completion of its term.
Nikah mut’ah :
The religious cover and legalization of
prostitution. “The Muslims are bound
by their conditions.” If the partners
agree that the woman will stay with
her family or that her share of the
husband’s time will be during the day
and not during the night, or on certain
days or certain nights, there is nothing
wrong with that, so long as the
marriage is announced and not hidden.

8. • what do you have? Education
Or rather, saffronization of
education.
• In the Vedas - the
foundational texts of Hindu
theology - does one find the
word Hindu. Rather, "Hindu" is
actually the name given to the
people living beyond the banks
of the Sadhu or the Indus
River, in what was known as
the Indus valley civilisation.
"By whatever name and form the devotee worships me with
love, I appear to the devotee in that form."

9. • The God of Hinduism is a God who is knowable,
approachable, infinite and yet fully prepared to
incarnate in material form, a God to whom our
food, water, earnings and lives are dedicated.

10. • As God is infinite and all of creation a manifestation of
the same Creator, Hindus see the whole world as one
family. In fact, the scriptures state clearly: Vasudhaiv
Kutumbakam, or "The world is one family." Hindu
prayers are prayers for all; Hindus don't pray for Hindus
or Indians. Rather, Hindus pray,
Sarve bhavantu sukhinah
Sarve santu niraamayaah
Sarve bhadraani pashyantu
Maakaschit duhkha bhaag bhavet
• It means, "May all be happy, may all be healthy, may all
behold that which is good and auspicious, may no one
suffer."

11. • If he wants to help minorities, specifically
Muslims, then he is playing vote bank politics.
• In February, Mr. Batra led a successful effort to
pressure Penguin India to withdraw copies of a
book by Wendy Doniger, a religion professor at
the University of Chicago, which he felt insulted
Hinduism.
• His books advise students not to celebrate
birthdays with cakes and candles, a practice Mr.
Batra considers non-Indian. More troublingly,
they instruct students to draw maps of “Akhand
Bharat,” a greater India, presumably restored to
its rightful boundaries, that include Bangladesh,
Sri Lanka, Tibet, Nepal, Pakistan and
Afghanistan. Mr. Batra also believes that aircraft,
automobiles and nuclear weapons existed in
ancient India, and he wants children to learn
these so-called facts.
• In the movie “The Monuments Men” George
Clooney says, “You can wipe out an entire
generation, you can burn their homes to the
ground, and somehow they will still find their
way back. But if you destroy their history, if you
destroy their achievements, then it is as if they
never existed.”

12. conclusion
• The use of cultural factors in a positive way
will improve coping with symptoms and
illness, as well as recovery. It is also important
to consider other cultural, traditional, and folk
methods for understanding and management
of mental illnesses.
