It would be worthwhile to know what 'change' is expected, so that it is acknowledged that there has been a 'change'.
India has been evolving all the time, and it is for all to see, if they want to see.
Take the food and dining habits. There has been a sea change.
Even post Independence, there were families who did not eat onions and garlic. Today, the lack of onions and price rise of onions have brought down govts
Then there were a section of the society that were pure vegetarians. The same people became non vegetarians and now the trend is towards 'healthy' vegetarianism and there coined this word 'vegan'.
Hindus and Muslims did not eat on the same table in the earlier days, even post Independence. This can be authenticated by the fact that there are restaurants whose signboards read 'X Hindu Hote' and 'Y Muslim Hotel' And if one enters these restaurants, one would see Hindus and Muslims are merrily eating together without concern who is who.
Or for that matter, what was unthinkable in the earlier days, none can discriminate the entry of a person who falls under the category of SC into an eatery.
Beef to many families of the Hindu faith is no longer a taboo.
Nowadays people make it a prestige issue to eat pizza, Italian, French, Chinese, South East Asia on a regular basis and what is most surprising is when having Indian food, that they tell you which wines go with that Indian dish!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clothes. Depending upon one's work environment, one is now wearing clothes that makes to efficiency. That is why, no longer are dhotis the workmans clothes and instead one sees labour wearing three quarter pants. Office goers used to wear crisp and starched dhotis earlier, but now they are wearing western clothes. It is not that the traditional clothes have been abandoned, it is just that they are worn for special occasions and for ceremonial occasions. Even Kejriwal, who claims to be the aam admi wearing shirt and pants and ties a muffler and is not in a dhoti or a pyjama.
That is also a change that generally is overlooked as the usual and natural.
Social Customs. Touching of feet as a respect to the elders has given space to a mere namaste and a namaste[/I has given way to a handshake. The joint family has fractured into nuclear families, except in the soaps on TV. Aged parent are increasingly being abandoned to Old Age Homes, while in the earlier days one would meet relatives on a regular basis, today one meets them on occasions when there is a marriage, birthday, funeral, or a religious ceremony is being done. Then people take pride including those in village to call their father as Papa instead of Pitaji or use the word 'death' instead of mrityu, Daddy, Mummy is so common, Dad, Mom is the flavour of the urban (Rahul Gandhi used it yesterday in Arnab Goswami's TV recorded interview). And vernacular is sprinkled with English words, so much so that none knows which is the actual language that is being spoken in.
One could go on, but these are significant and revolutionary changes, which is taken to obvious today, when actually it is giant leap into change.
However, the issue remains are these changes for the good or are these changes, changes for the sake of change and being 'modern'.
