on the statement of "Don't associate westernization with modernization"
can u give me a country which is developed and has not aped the west???\
and no i cant wear a 3 piece suit all day i would switch to jeans or shorts and mtv is the 90's dude!!!

The people of Japan, Germany, Russia and China aren't mimicking the American accent, as ours do. They're not accepting English as their savior and only path to development. They have not succumbed to the idea of aping the west to modernize their country, their economy and their culture.

Besides, in stead of looking for examples, we must be able to set one for the World to see and acknowledge. Either that, or the Indian youth is clearly misguided and lacking self-respect - something that affects the whole culture in the long run.

i thought so,you would think of japan(cliched answer)

first off,
sport
there popular sport is baseball "imported" from the west 1936
Formula Nippon,Golf and Super GT series are the next in popularity

Music
heavily influenced by American and European modern music,has led to the evolution of popular band music called J-Pop.

Comic
Manga is a mix of western art and traditional wood block printing

technological contributions are found in the fields of electronics, machinery, industrial robotics, optics, chemicals, semiconductors.All there genesis is from the west. the japs just capitalized on the idea(kudos to them)
and pray how many do you see going around in kimonos samurai swords.
Tokyo is the manhattan of the east.

and if you can,do type japan + western influence in google on how westernization had helped japan industrialize and become the best.

I am not saying "westernization" would make us developed. Initiative and drive to be the best and all those philosophical thingys need to be present, instead of constant bickering on religion,caste,politics,apathy blah blah(read india)

but i say its apathy in all of us yar.we keep on bickering about how colonization f****d us, how politicians screw up, how reservation does not help us blah blah
the above mentioned countries came out from big problems (getting nuked,totally erased during a war,two disastrous revolutions)
we have so many graduates coming out but why is it we don't make a difference other than the cliched software. the above mentioned countries produce things that make a difference in the world and all we have to be proud is a millennium old "culture".
