When a country deviates from its cultural, traditional values, and when media fails to fulfill its duty responsibly, then there comes a tough time for the country to restore its sovereignty and standards. Nowadays, often it is heard that institution pays more attention to focusing on the curricular activities than the curriculum syllabus.
Limitations of observing modesty are exceeded at the annual functions, events and gatherings. Annuals dinners, fashion shows, beauty contest, costume days, cat walks and dance related programs are often organized at the institutions. And through such events, we are depriving our generations with our rich national, traditional customs and values.

Now concept of ‘liberalism’ has prevailed in our society. Under the banner immodest, indecent acts are done, condemned in religious and societal views. It is the reason that unlike previous time, instead of producing scientists and scholars, singers, actors of the media industry are enrolled and nurtured at the institutes.
Teachers don’t mind mingling with their students, be it dancing with them or going to with them. It is open mindedness. Right?
Those who are unaware about the fashion trends or hesitate to remove their veils and dress modestly are often targeted, made fun and labeled nerds. Progressive world has taken wide definition, incorporating in itself, elements of westernization, fashionable, liberal and educated. Talking to strangers and male people is justified under labels of friendship, understanding and modernism.
[junkie-alert style=”white”] Dancing on Indian songs is a normal trend at educational institute events, at media industry shows and weddings and yes, why not listen to the Indian music all the way through driving also. [/junkie-alert]
Despite many schools operating across the nation, still we lack dignified personalities in our societies. The result primarily is the lack of dedication by the educational fields. We are being folded into the state of westernization by a pre-planned tactic but we continue to shut our eyes and do well to ourselves. Unfortunately!
