Cultural invasion in Pakistan

The invasion of any nation to destroy the enemy‘s internal structure and values is called the cultural invasion. These invasions are usually planned and cause many problems according to their intensities. Pakistani culture is also facing many trials and tribulations due to the cultural invasion by India. We are losing our legendary values and ethics. The Indian cultural is prevailing like the darkness. Our younger generation is showing more tendencies towards it and our Pakistani culture is seen rarely among them. We can use our media, educational institutes and seminars to promote our culture.
Indian culture is eating up our values and ethics. Pakistan was established on basis of different cultures. Muslims wanted a free land to live according to their own culture. As they got it, they established a good Islamic society in which they educated and trained their children well. But as the time passed, people started to forget the real spirit behind the creation of the country and got habitual towards watching and listening Indian movies and songs. Those movies caused bad affects on the minds of the people and they adopted their styles and behaviors. Now, Indian movies and dramas are watched all around our country which is bringing disastrous effects. In order to prevent it, we should ban all the Indian channels and promote Pakistani culture through our dramas and plays.
Our younger generation is showing more tendencies towards Indian culture as evil deeds are always attractive than the righteous one. Cinemas are overcrowded while the mosques are deserted. Teenagers feel proud to look like a hero and the people who follow Islam are considered as narrow minded. They spend thousands on their dressing and physical appearance, while they change their route by seeing a poor on the way. Most of the people are not offering their prayer and many of us are disrespectful to our parents. All these

    India’s response to the Western influence has been controversial because the elders believe that the youth are gravitating to the western culture and forgetting their Indian traditions. It is Indian culture to take care of those in their community. They do not have social security and making family bonds is extremely important to them. For example, the youth are so connected to social media sites, smart phones, brand name clothing and partying in night clubs according, to YouTube videos that are circling the World Wide Web. In the past, the youth stayed home and girls married young; however, this is no longer the case.…

The specific religious response to cultural disestablishment was the rise of evangelicalism. This was rooted in the seventeen century Puritanism, this would also be the rival of the second great awakening. This would include personal experience of sin, conversion of Christ, and a new life by God’s grace.…

    India is in the centre of a very serious conflict in the world today. It is a very diverse place composed of people from many different religious backgrounds that come from many different regions. Two of the country’s main religions, Muslim and Hindu, have been fighting for hundreds of years for many different reasons. Their feelings of hatred and mistrust for each other are embedded in their memories and will not be forgotten easily. The worst part is there seems to be no initial plan for compromise between the two groups. Though there are many reasons for this conflict, only a few will be touched on. Those that will be touched on are the Islamic attacks on Indian Parliament, the anti-Muslim textbooks, and the Deganga Riots. These are all recent examples of the feud between these two religions and how they are not letting the past go. The Muslim-Hindu relationship is declining and there is no sign of letting up in the near future.…

    Cultural Appropriation in America is a valid reason as to why there is a prejudice and racism problem. Throughout the United States social issues considering racism and prejudice occur within the “borrowing” of varying cultures (Nittle). While affecting millions of minorities, this cultural thievery is not to be confused with cultural groups rubbing off on Americans which grew up in diverse communities. In example, diverse communities could potentially pick up the dialect and traditions of the cultural groups surrounding them. Cultural appropriation as defined by Susan Scafidi, “Taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions…most likely to be harmful when the source community is a minority group.” The irony in this form of racism is socially, dominant groups are deemed as state-of-the-art and edgy, while minorities receive backlash and continuous systems of damaging varieties of stereotypes of lacking in creativity.…

    Cultural Diffusion

    Throughout history, cultures have mixed all over the world, changing beliefs, creating new ones, and changing the way people look at the world along with their existence. This can be proven from anything from music to food, but is especially prevalent in world religion and the way that every culture sees their god, or gods, and how they think, worship, and even obey, in similar manners. Even though Hebrew conceptions differed from the rest of the world’s views, contact with other cultures spread many beliefs through the ages, and many culture’s ideas of a divine God were changed because of that contact. Most importantly, cultural contact has an effect on everyone because it has changed the world we live in today with echoes from centuries still resonating in the religions and traditions we hold so dear.…

    Cultural Hegemony

    • 530 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Hegemony is “the power or dominance that one social group holds over others” (Lull, 33). This definition from James Lull in Chapter 4 of Gender, Race, and Class in Media proves to be the simplest explanation of the word. Put even more simply, hegemony is the use of societal influence by a dominating group in society to oppress a weaker group, or to influence societal norms in their favor. Examples of cultural hegemony are noticeable all throughout our society today, as well as in our book. It is exemplified in Chapter 35, which shows the relationship of the pimp and hoe in hip-hop culture. The male is the masculine figure that socially dominates the females. Author Tricia Rose says that the male pimps of the hip-hop culture treat women with the attitude that “women are bitches, and bitches are whores and prostitutes” (Pg. 321). In addition to this example, there is one other example in the book that stands out. “When in Rome” by David Nylund has an article about a topic very near and dear to my heart: sports; and more specifically, sports talk shows. Jim Rome is one of the most prominent figures in sports talk and has a nationally syndicated radio talk show, and a show on ESPN. Rome is promoted as a brash, loud, and opinionated straight talker. More accurately, however, Rome merely yells and degrades homosexuals and women. It is important to analyze the audience that listens to talk radio. “Talk radio is aimed at a very desirable demographic: White middle-class men between the ages of 24 and 55 years. Research shows that talk radio listeners are overwhelmingly men who tend to vote Republican” (Nylund, 172). This is important because with the deregulation of the radio in the 1980’s, and the subsequent capitalization of the radio that followed, it was important to please your listeners, as they could always go elsewhere. This was, and still is, shown on conservative talk radio, where one side of any store is only ever told, and conservatives are always…

    Cultural Appropriation

    • 1278 Words

    Have you ever heard of cultural appropriation? The bottom line is it’s a modern euphemism for theft of different elements from one culture into another. I appreciate that cultural appropriation can be a very challenging and confusing issue for some to understand but one simple illustration is the adoption of rap music into white culture in the late 1900’s. Rap music initially emerged as a result of the civil rights movement in America essentially as a way to bring attention to important social issues solely within the black community. But today the number of Caucasian rappers is growing, with the likes of Eminem and Mac Miller essentially attempting to mimic the sound, persona and even copying their ‘cool’ style; wearing baggy jeans and hip-hop…

    Internal Security Challenges

    • 5297 Words

    Ved Marwah Shri N N Vohra, Shri K Santhanam, Director IDSA, Ladies and Gentlemen: I deem it a privilege to be invited to deliver the IDSA Foundation Lecture. Since inception in November 1965, under the stewardship of the late Shri Y B Chavan and the subsequent direction provided by Shri K Subrahmanyam, former Director, the IDSA has acquired a creditable profile. Over the years, the IDSA has played a commendable role in enriching the security discourse and deliberations in India. It is in this context that I propose to share my thoughts with you on a matter of concern to all of us, namely, “India’s Internal Security Challenges”. India was partitioned in the backdrop of large-scale communal riots, but the partition of the country on religious lines, without taking into consideration its multiple identities, instead of bringing the communal tensions down, in fact, worsened the situation. The two-nation theory created Pakistan, and it still survives on this theory. Pakistan finds it difficult to accept the reality that India continues to be a democratic, plural, multireligious society and that India today has more Muslim citizens than Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan has taken upon itself the responsibility of not only protecting its own citizens, but also the Indian Muslims. The power structure in theocratic Pakistan, dominated by the army, the feudal landlords, the bureaucracy and the religious leaders has been able to retain its hold over the levers of power by playing the antiIndia and Islamic cards. Pakistan plays the Islamic card in its foreign policy also. It misses no opportunity to club India as an anti-Islamic country where Muslims are not safe. The continuing tensions between India and Pakistan have a direct bearing on the internal situation in India. They have further complicated the internal security situation.…

    The younger generation has an attitude of "I don't care". Degraded moral values have become a fashion for them. In schools, students proudly admit that they smoke or have indulged in some sort of bad activity. They forget their ethical values and duties towards society and the nation. Morals and values are just the past. It’s depressing to see the newspaper early in the morning to witness various murder and rape cases. Programs telecasting about various ill-treatments of woman and deaths and accidents score a greater a viewing rate as compared to any discovery channel or something useful (not really these days. The main cause for the rise of such uncivilized grounds of terror and hatred is just the result of inappropriate educational values right from the childhood and nil importance to human values which need to be imbibed to the student at an early level. The increasing practice of doing everything just for the sake of money has killed the minute pieces of kindness making them dormant forever. Practising morals has become so rare that anyone following the basic morals is considered mad, sane and a scapegoat for all. One seeing today's India can never wholeheartedly admit this was birth place of great…

    Pakistan in 2013

    • 47923 Words
    • 192 Pages

    2013 will be another important year for Pakistan. Federal and provincial elections will be held during the first half of the year. If, as seems increasingly likely, the Pakistan People’s Party-led Government sees out its full term in office and hands over to a civilian successor, it will be the first time in Pakistan’s history that this has happened. But the political and economic situation remains highly volatile and unpredictable. In addition, by the end of 2013 the coalition allies, led by the United States, are expected to have withdrawn more of their combat forces from neighbouring Afghanistan – with total withdrawal the following year. Pakistan’s policies and actions will be pivotal in shaping the outcome there. Further, the run-up to elections in India in 2014 could affect the fragile peace efforts once again underway between these enduring rivals. During 2013, the wider world will probably continue to view developments in Pakistan primarily through the prism of Islamist militancy and the actions taken (or not) to combat it by the Federal Government. This is understandable, but it is crucial not to oversimplify the country’s politics by neglecting the many other factors which shape its trajectory. This paper seeks to create that wider lens on Pakistan. It begins by surveying the electoral landscape in Pakistan as 2013 draws near, before going on to assess the record in office of the Federal Government, led by the Pakistan People’s Party, since 2008. The paper then looks at Pakistan’s complex and often fraught relationships with other countries since 2008, focusing specifically on the US, India, Afghanistan, China, the UK and the EU. It also reviews development and humanitarian aid to Pakistan since 2008. The paper ends with a summary of recent expert views of Pakistan’s ‘possible futures’.…
