Where Is Our Culture??

Where Is Our Culture?




The world is, no doubt progressing rapidly, but the progression had not only been made in the fields of science, technology, but entertainment and Fashion as well. So why should Pakistan stay behind! Following the footsteps of developed countries, Pakistan strives harder and harder to make progress. But I am afraid to say that instead of making constant progress in industrial and other fields such as science and technology, our Fashion industry continues to progress. The progression is obvious in the photos above.

Each country has its own fashion culture and they are promoting it as much as they can. Some of the countries are following the fashion techniques of Hollywood including India. I am not concerned with what others are doing but something that makes my blood boil is that our country is following the same cultures, instead of promoting our beautiful culture.
I grew up, reading the boards outside the jewelry shops. These notes are the following

Kashish ki baliyan dastyab hain!
Kumkum ki choriyan yahan se milen gi.
Parvati ki sariyan tasteyab han

But where is our culture?

All the fashion designers are designing materials which have never been the part of our culture. Our models feel uncomfortable while wearing hijab and shalwar kameez. The more we expose our self, the more exposure and stardom we get, these are the reviews of today’s generation of Pakistan. We are more concerned what Kareena and Katrina are doing but we are not concerned with the teachings of our religion! Are we?

A question, I must ask everybody that exposing yourself gives you exposure?
Another question is that are we not destroying our traditions and culture by following traditions of others?

Vulgarity is not our culture but seeing the conditions, I am afraid to say that vulgarity would eclipse our fashion industry if no step is taken by the concerned authorities in future.
