I always thought India is equivalent to Europe. Many will agree with me. There are lot of country in world which are smaller than Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and compared to many other states in India. These Indian states are different in their culture but have similarities, speak different languages but somewhat similar by scripts and pronunciations. As Europe is divided into countries, India was also divided by different countries. As in Europe there are Princes, Here also there are old Palaces and lost Princes. It is New India and Old Europe. There are many similarities between Europe and India. But always Winners write Histories. Since Europeans ruled us for 2 centuries we still look up to them in all means. World is changing in all means. World is becoming a global village. How do we look at learning something of no use and no value in the market. That is how our identities are going. Our identities are losing values. Our language, our science, our Ayurveda, our Siddha, our culture.
Unless we use them we are going to lose them and its value goes down. When we understand this that our identity has value then we will protect it. Then we will join hands to preserve it. Our ancestors have build the set of practices looking at the past, how few clans vanished over time. Our culture are built to protect the root of this civilization. And there are very handful of people protecting it and rest of them do not have this education and play no part in the protection. Learning some ancient art, knowing few regional history atleast about medieval age, visiting some heritage places, using Ayurveda & Sidhha will make us connected to the past. Though a simple Indian life can make you feel like a Prince of the land. India is equivalent to Europe.
