Which is more valuable

Along with this humanity is what is more vaulable,All modern changes are not wrong..........all traditional thing were not correct........the changes takes according to the circumstances created so not fully but have to respect the tradition which is for the welfare of people.

I am happy to note support score double than those who oppose.But I don't think it to infer true scenerio of society.Leberals will opt to be absent to even to wink here as they enjoy comfortzone.Then who can turn the table?Traditional value are poised to expire immaturely, as liberals are more allied together to make experiment with their lifestyle in agressive aspirational needs.

Thanks Sulagna for referral. I am for Traditional value systems which are rich and gives proper respect to every normal human being.

Traditional value is popularly & generally refered for religious value.Religious value stipulated for code of conduct defined by Rishies & promphet in premier time.Feeling of gratitude,respect for rights of other are keywords.It was  discovered & disclosed after realising vision of civilization needs of human to be social.While it can be well accepted appropriate liberty enjoyed a individual for his choice, but excess linearism may encroach territory of functions of other in turn society. This can result in conflicts & clash that can lead to undesired destruction for social order when all parties loose wealth & peace of life. Same is true when human dare with nature. But it is not worth elaborating as being of different context.

@Munshi, good example. Let me follow up on the same example. How many times it has happened to you? (you should have travelled so many times, correct?) And is it happening to everybody who is travelling? Millions of people travel everyday - leave alone in a year. And 48 out of that figure? Why should we always think of the negatives? Why dont we count our blessings? We speak of something only if it is bad. Why dont our newspapers report the roads which have been laid, the bridges which have been completed, the industries which have come up recently instead of just talking of things which did not happen? Hope you see my point of view.

@Munshi, where in the world did you get the opnion that those who say "namaste baapu" will shoot. Just because it happened once? This is like a child saying I will not walk since I fell down last time when I walked.

Please remember exceptions are not the rules. I am seeing this mentality also oflate where we tend to believe that the aberations are the normal.

Is this because the news reporters are sensationalising the exceptions and projecting them as rules?

Can any of our members who are from the Press react to my statement?

@Konkan, I read your posting once more and I dont see anything which should hurt me.

What do you think is there in your post to hurt me? I gave my views and you gave yours. And you have been very honest in your views.  Period.

Apologies rejected since it is not required.

I am for traditional value as there is more security for masses especially ladies.

@konkan, I already tried and failed. When I was working in India, I used to go to office in kurta pyjama on Saturdays. Our Executive Director called me and asked 'enna maapilla maathiri vareenga?' (why are you coming like a bridegroom). Actually he is a very good man and I respect him a lot. He had his point. There are rules which need to be followed and I was flouting one of those rules. I stopped wearning it to office from that day.

This brings forth the values from our generation and your generation.  We are of the opinion that rules are there to be followed and if we think something needs to be changed, we follow a process.  In your generation, some of you think that rules are there to be flouted and if you dont like it, you  revolt immediately.

Try saying Namaste instead of a hi to your elders and notice the difference for yourself.  Some things cannot be explained. 

You have chosen to be an atheist and I will not argue against it.  I cannot imagine somebody who does not believe in a power beyond us.  It might not be Ishwar, Allah or Yesu, as we see it, but might be somebody like the parents, teacher, etc. to whom you turn to for advice, guidance and when you are in trouble.

Come on Konkan, you have made me sound like a very old man.  I am not that old, you know.  All the best and may God bless you.

@Konkan, dhoties and kurtas are not allowed at office because we have adopted a westernized style.  And my comment is about leisure dresses - not the office wear.  Baggies, half pants, armless t-shirts are also not allowed in offices.

Apart from this, do you see anything which is hypocrisy in my comments?  If so, please elaborate for my benefit. 

And I have not seen your comments for points (1) and (4)?

There are many practices and beliefs in the modern liberal lifestyle which are in direct conflict with the traditional rich values of respect.  Let me just list a few:

1. Whenever we see our elders, we used to do namaste, pranam to them.  Now we just say a 'hi' if at all.

2. The ladies used to wear a fully draped saree or a salwar and was looking divine.  Nowadays they wear the two pieces, minis, midis, etc., and look differently.

3. The men used to wear dhotis, pyjamas, etc. and look traditional.  Nowadays they wear baggies, half pants, armless t-shirts and look like objects of ridicule.

3. We used to live in a joint family and share everything with all our family members.  Nowadays we live in nuclear families and are very selfish.

4. We used to go to temples to pray.  Nowadays we go to temple for other purposes, if at all (I myself may not agree with this fully).

Hope the above four are sufficient examples to decide for yourself.
