Should Tradition And Culture Be Forced?

She is a noted musician and is taking forward the legacy of her father sitarist Pandit Ravi Shankar but Anoushka Shankar says one does not have to hold fast to traditions as culture is inherent. The 36-year-old musician says one has to learn to be secure about it.

In an interview with PTI, Anoushka says, "In the last few years in particular, I've found that it's okay to let go of culture rather than hold on to it. And by letting go, you kind of realise that it's there anyway. 

"It is kind of in you - you've been brought up a certain way so it's there. You have to have a little confidence in your culture."
 
The sitarist believes if traditions are forced upon people, the greater idea of moving forward together fails.

"I think we are all individuals at the end of the day. There's nothing about culture that can prescribe who you're meant to be.
 
"But when culture becomes a baggage, things don't work. What is good about anything that feels like a baggage? I think we should let go when it feels like a burden. Hold on to the things you love. Then it will be a natural process." PTI

No need to force tradition and culture. Actually all culture will teach us many moral values. But if it is forced we might not consider them seriously.

Ronit.R National Hill View Public School

I think forcing culture and religion on a person is not needed and he must cultivate a sense of liking for it which will be better

Waayavya Mahadik ST JOHNS HIGH SCHOOL

There is no need to force tradition and culture. A person should develop his interest by himself. Any culture teaches us many moral values and also its glorious past. But forcing to learn it would not gain success .

Nidhi MAYUR PUBLIC SCHOOL(PATPATGANJ)

Forcing is not a solution for anything. We respect something heartily only when we are ready to do it. There is no need to force tradition and culture. A person should develop his interest by himself.

Mayank Pratham MOUNT CARMEL SCHOOL(DWARKA)

Forcing upon culture and tradition may lead to the breakdown of the existing social machinery as the youth may not be welcoming towards such enforcement creating friction between them and the previous generation, it need not be enforced also because the way we are brought up in this culturally conscious country itself suffices for inculcating the traditional values in us.

Bhumika Arora Hansraj Model School

THOUGH OUR TRADITIONS AND CULTURES REFLECT OUR GLORIOUS PAST BUT EVEN THEN FORCING THEM IS NO WAY. EACH ONE HAS HIS/HER OWN BELIEVES AND THEY MIGHT PREVAIL FOR THEM.

satwik khatar Hansraj Model School

traditions and culture should not be forced.forcing will give no outcome.one should only learn them if has a personal liking towards it.forcing will create a generation gap which will develop friction between two generations.tradition and culture teaches us moral values but forcing will not give success

Culture and traditions should go parallel with our personality. However if our culture or tradition begins to cut cross our choices, or begin to influence who we are, then they should be left behind. Moreover tradition is something on which faith comes from within, hence it cannot be forced upon someone.

Roma Ramcoumar Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

I am not supporting forcing but its our duty to carry our tradition . It should not be forced but it should be sown in the hearts at a young age .If not you , then who will ????

Rohit Chauhan GREEN FIELDS SCHOOL(DILSHAD GARDEN)

As we all know in todays world their no need of forcing tradition or culture , therefore one should have a sense to take interest in it.

Arjun Yadav SANT SUJAN SINGH .INTL. SCH(SAROP N

we should not force it but we help our generation to live with its enrichmet

P. VARSHA REDDY Delhi School of Excellence Attapur

No,there is no need to force a person about tradition and culture .In this generation people won''t follow some of the tradition or culture .It means that they don''t like to do it. when a person doesn''t do a thing with interest there is no value for it. If it''s from their heart they will do it . So,forcing to follow traditions, rituals or culture is not needed.

Param Garg SBOA Mat hr sec school

i dont think the culture and the traditions which are followed and unfollowed by some people are to be forced . they are inborn , some times culture (religion) becomes your confidence ,so are the virtues from them . i strongly feel that culture should not be stressed. "Culture makes people understand each other better. .. " paulo coelho

Lilly grace.B St.jhons public school

Forcing the people to follow a particular culture or a particular tradition is a bad action. We must not force any one to follow a particular culture. Because we have the right to religion in india. So i think culture should not be forced. As we have many cultures and traditions in india people will follow which ever they like.so forcing ot not good,but the good advantage is they have very good moral values. We shold not forget it.

Dhwani Miglani DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL ROHINI

I feel that culture is something that we must respect from within. When we force it on someone, it''s value will diminish.

S.ROHITH KRISHNA Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

No one should a person to follow or do something that they do not like.A person must like the work he do.now, culture and tradition is something unique,it should not be forced ,a person must on get impressed by it and follow.

Prakhya Gupta Jayshree Periwal High School

As we grow, there are certain morals and principles imbibed by us over the course of years, however when it comes to forcing tradition or culture on a person, it may result in a change in their character and desires. For example, a person may want to pursue a certain path in life or have a particular ambition, but their culture doesn''t allow it. This way, their character along with their aspirations are being forced down.

RAKSHITA C S AMARA JYOTHI EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIO

Culture and religion are only created by us to be moral and to be a good individual but there is no need for anyone to force others about culture. We can''t teach anyone culture, it has to be accepted heartily.

The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).
