The Great Indian Civilization.

5:40 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
We as Indians are very proud people even though we don’t have much to be proud of. We at last come to our 5000 years old civilization. I was wondering what this is exact meaning of it. So I goggled, copied and pasted, It was written as 'Civilization (or Civilization) is a term used to describe a certain kind of development of a human society'.

That means we have been civilizing for last 5000 years and not yet civilized. Look at daily news, you won’t find a single day without news of 'Honor Killing'. Is it really a act of civilized people I don’t think so.

In our civilization women had a very important place and look now I don’t see the same behavior nowadays, We had culture of respecting elders and what about the old age homes, I cannot relate to it.

Look at how in tolerate we have come towards the religion. We always lived in harmony for many centuries and incidents like Ayodhya, Godhra and Sangli Riots don’t point towards the civilized society.

I think we have lost that great civilization and following something else. This is not the civilization who build great cities like Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa 3-4 thousand years back that was the great civilization and look at the state of the current cities civic amenities overall behavior of the public, one cannot fathom how disciplined were those people with 'supposed to be less knowledge'.

so what we have now is not the same civilization we once were.

Hello Sachin,

Yes, I agree that the civilization is decreasing but on other hands we common people are still celebrating festivals, coming together and sharing happy and sad moments. I guess, that should be counted as civil. The phrase that 'we are not civilized anymore' appears to be a bit extreme.

All in all, it was a good post.

I am happy to come across your blog, hope to hear more from you soon here.

Best Regards,
Sandeep

Whatever is said ... i agree but i will say this is the side effect of the globalization which is changing the peoples mind.... now a days a single paper what we called a 'cartificate' has got the value more than of persons skill... and people with lot of such papers think that they are educated... but from my point education is not the thing what we just learnt in schools and college but what learnt things we implemented in our life style ... with such a paper... one can get a high package job which will bring the flow of money ... with money ... its a common thinking that anybody can buy anything.... people can buy a bunglow which is built on the land which is forcibly acquired or any farm ... people can buy a car and park on the center of the road just to drop their kid to school or wife to the office... they dont think that they are disturbing others...
there are lots other reasons but that should be considered
