Forgetting our culture?
Nowadays the new generation likes fusion, rap, pop, metal, remix etc.
But in the past our people liked folk songs, Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti etc. When these genres were introduced some people said they were not good. But now these are the assets of our nation.
“Our new generation is going to be spoilt ” say seniors of our society, neighbours, and parents.
We have our own choices. If we don't do any experiments we can't create anything new. If we want to give our nation something new we have to try new flavours and do experiments with which we can enrich our culture. We hear those things, but this does not mean we would forget our culture. They think we waste our time. But when they were young they also wanted new taste, new themes. Were they spoilt? Aren't we their children, their next generation? Then what are they doing for us? Don't they have confidence on their teaching techniques?
What is remix? A remix is an alternative version of a song, different from the original version. We have our old version. If we want we can enjoy it. If we make a new recipe what is the problem? So all new things are based on the old.
We can't forget our culture. It's not possible to forget ourselves, forget our roots.
