Globalization has many positive effects . One of them is that Indians now got to know about the western culture and start recognizing their individuality . As Hindutva elements say , globalization is destroying our culture . But we should be happy that what is being destroyed is a stupid culture . Western culture is far superior to that of Asia mainly because of the fact that a liberal form of christianity is far superior to Hinduism and Islam . Christianity has become less persecuting , manily due to the work of freethinkers who have made dogmatists rather less dogmatic . In some forms of liberal christianity , the element of dogma is reduced to a minimum . And the western culture has become more sophisticated and pragmatic because of this influence . sreenivas

Like women daring to visit pubs, daring to defy the dress codes, daring to shatter the values of family and bringing shame to the country and the countryMen, so on and so forth. While Muthaliks and Modys are there in Karnataka and Gujrat at large to fight these evils, who will fight here? Going by the press reports, we find the local police to the leftist- rightist women/youth/students organizations to the neighborhood fraternity vigilance volunteers arrayed in the great task of defending culture. Part of the task of (people) getting opinionated against w omen's assertions, is of course left to the Fourth Estate together with the Samskarika Nayakans and Nayikas of Kerala through rhetoric s and imagery of globalization destroying Culture.... especially by w omen shedding their sense of guilt and shame, daring to express their sexuality in first person, unmindful of the Culture and Tradition! We find in one report after other ,youths being rounded up by the police for no cognizable crime. An item appeared in Malayala Manorama daily on the other day. It was a report under a sensational caption, about an incident at Kollam railway station. Lacking in many details,esp of the legality of the police/railway court's action, the report would mean that two people of different sex, unconnected either through marriage or through blood relation, sitting together and talking is an act punishable with instant arrest and fine!
