Message: <blockquote data-quote="sudunone" data-source="post: 5117312" data-attributes="member: 205934">Culture does not get "polluted"; only evolved, adjusted or mixed with other cultures.Why I say so? Rev.Mahinda came nearly 2000 years back; if one just consider female dress, in Kashyapa's era, high class women didn't cover top while low women did but by the time westerners came, low caste people didn't cover top while the high class women wore Kandiyan saree. (Which probably has some influence of Indian dress) We don't consider this to be 'pollution'. Likewise, habits, customs, language etc. have changed, borrowed parts from other cultures according to the needs of the society at the time.The reasons for this continuos change are the necessity of the society at each period, influence of other cultures due to foriegn invasion, movies/television, change in belief/attitude etc. For example, during the times of war, in many countries women do all the farming and manual labour, driving and using heavy machinery, which they wouldn't have done if the men were there at home. Partly due to high Indian influence in teledramas and movies, we wear more Indian dresses now.Solution? There's no solution. The culture must change and evolve. Otherwise people who stick to the old fashions become unsuitable to face the new world.</blockquote>
