Frankly speaking are we preserving culture or Sanathana Dharma or both?
Sometimes lifestyle of a community is often confused as being part of Sanathana Dharma.

Ok lets compare a Balinese Hindu and a Hindu from India.

Lifestyle and culture differs like Aharnisham(day and night) but nevertheless both are Hindus.

If we really go through history we would find that our ancients had no problems adapting to new food or culture or lifestyle.
Take a TB from TN and a TB(Pattar) from Kerala..both are TB's isn't it?

But food and culture of a Pattar might be more Keralite when compared to a TB from TN.

Some communities have settled in other states and also amalgamated with the local culture and language too.

That goes to show that change in mind set is inevitable..it's like the cycle of evolution and the survival of the fittest is the one who adapts to the environment.

I am not saying that we should discard our believes,culture and lifestyle but be practical thats all..

I feel do what makes us happy as long it doesn't make us land in jail.

Most important we should not JUDGE anyone else who does not seem to fall into the NORM category.
