Yeah, it is almost always someone who returns from West who has to point out the changing values. What a hypocrite. It’s the same reason you were away for 4 years, and some of them can’t get visa like you did, so they make their Dubai in Bombai.

How does one spell superficial?

S-U-P-E-R-F-I-C-I-A-L

Other synonyms: half-assed, poorly thought through, etc. etc.


Compared to this Farzana`s nonsense is deep thought and true intellectual analysis.

This trend is worrisome because their is no replacement as such of the older moral values. Capitalism is about acculturation.

Kaalchakra,

True of any culture- any people-

NRIs and expat Pakistanis want their homelands to remain stuck in a time period that gives them security in the dog eat dog world of the west...

Well it ain`t happenin` yo.

Please stop worrying. ``Indian values`` are just that - the values Indians hold at a particular point in time. Nothing more.
