Culture During Crisis Kindle Edition

by Namrata Kohli (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
See all formats and editions

Seventy-five years ago, the British left India and the country became independent. But are we really free? Even today we are colonized in our minds. Take a look at the way we speak, how we dress, what we eat, how we live – we are chasing quinoa over amaranth, avocado over amla, olive oil over desi ghee, guitar over sitar, ballet over Kathak, and Spanish over Sanskrit. There is nothing wrong in learning from other cultures, it only enriches and enhances you, but not at the cost of denigrating your own.
Culture during Crisis is a thought-provoking account that talks about the depth of our culture and how it is not reaching the world or even capturing the minds and hearts of most Indians. With interesting anecdotes and vivid conversations with India’s leading luminaries on various aspects of our heritage, this book stresses on the need to brand and position our culture correctly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indians needed a book like this
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2022
The best cultural lessons from India are condensed in this lovely book. A man who lacks knowledge of and respect for his heritage is similar to a tree with no roots. Indians needed a book like this, and Namrata Kholi did a fantastic job in this book. This is the perfect read for book lovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Indian heritage
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2022
This book describes the valuable insights of India.
From its rich linguistic heritage to the aesthetic appeal of handicrafts, the allure of saris, vintage jewellery, the sound of classical music, the complexity of temple design, the significance of daily rituals, etc.
A must read for every Indian and those who want to know more about India.
