This is the fact that we indians are master of dragging past into the present,we are used to speak old is gold.Such dependence on our past making our country so slow to progress.We are pushing ourselves into the past instead of marching into the future.Fact is that we afraid of doing thing in a new way. We are sucked back in the past because we feel safe this way.
In a tradition bound families,new daughters-in-law are initiated into the family tradition of how to talk,how to wear,where to go or not to go without permission,how to make tea and strain rice,if there was any deviation it was not consider good.This is unfortunate but true.
Tradition is all very well but if these interfere with the happiness and independency for someone,We should be bold enough to toss them away.
