AmeriBharat

We are getting Americanised in everything that we do right from Nuclear deals to school shootings thats happening. Have you seen an american who lives abroad getting or trying to imitate the regional accent of the place that he lives in. But people who go to America first try to imitate their language. Leave the guys who go there, people working in call centers that handles American projects try to imitate their accent while most of the call centers insist on neutral accent. I have seen in many news channels particularly when there is a news from Banglaore and Noida people talk American english. I am not trying to say American english is bad but imitating it is bad so Americans reading this do not mistake me. Anything should come to us naturally, a cultural change, a political change, a scientific change if we try to force change in any system of ours which will have adverse outcome. I am not agaisnt change I am against change that comes out of misconception and without clear understanding. It is a general belief that in America men and women get married and get divorced easily and they do it like changing their hair color. This perception is wrong, I have worked with and have been following American people and culture in the past five years. May be the ratio is high comparatively. This is one of our biggest problems we do not look at right things in a right way and try doing it. They give a lot of respect to human values and privacy. Do we do that? As far as I know Americans talk their mind and they do not lie (except for Bush who lied on bio weapons in Iraq). Have we learnt that from them? Lets take a simple example in the manners they have.......if an American happens to sneeze in public he will say sorry to people around him. Hw many of us do this? They do not talk loud on cellphone while in a public place. In India its a fashion to that.

What I mean to say here is when there is a cultural, scientific, political exchange lets us take the right things that will sit our country and culture and leave alone the ones that doesnt suit us. Be it Nuclear Technology, lets get their ideas on that and implement it here for good without compromising our independence and internal security concerns. Let us export and import good culture not copy their gun culture and shoot kids in school. Lets try to bring the democracy thats truely by, for and of he people as in America without giving away our values.
