Yesterday I was watching a video of my cousin’s Annual Performance (or something similar) that was at her school in India. The kids were dressed in ball gowns and tuxes. They were dancing to a song from Titanic. Although the performance was endearing, it made me wonder why they didn’t use a more traditional song (by traditional I mean a Indian song). Even though India has a beautiful culture and history, people are ashamed of it and believe that popular American culture is better. This is also partially America’s fault for having little regard of other cultures however Indians should not abandon their history to become more admired by Americans. Oh well. Someday they’ll realize that they lost something precious.
