Originality --credit mutations not inheritance !!

India the land of the maharjas; the land of spiritualism; the land of a 1000 gods; the land of vedas ;the land of gandhi...( with passage of time) ....the land of software engineers; (BPO's--> well on its way).....the land of plagiarism!! it depresses me immensely every time i listen to a new song released or a new movie screened by bollywood...a new serial ...a new hindi writer.......Indian art is dying.... originality is esoteric!! the few who look at the ARTS as a commercial enterprise make pots of money by resorting to the aping mantra ( pick a successful song, movie, novel from the west and form a hindi remix) ....
the purest and the strongest form of human expression --THE ARTS are whored and raped.....the biggest cause of worry is that we indians have become so use to this complete defilement that some amongst us patronise it.....we not only accept but encourage such gross defilement of the arts
although we churn out the largest number of graduates every year...the intellectual capital of the country taken on head count is increasing in geometric progression....the depressing part is that the originality quotient is on the decline.... the students are very strong with there facts ...the best in quizzes and following the book by the letter...give them a module of a large software to debugg they will be the quickest to apply predefined rules to find the flaws but give them a page and ask them to write two lines of poetry and they will clueless
I might have overstated the problem here but the truth is that no one gets stirred unless shaken roughly...there are certain directors writers singers and artist who are extremely talented and don’t deserve the calumny above....but with a billion plus population if only a handful turn out to be dexterous i would credit that to mutations and not to cultural inheritance

on rereading this post i realise i have made it a habit to deride Indians in my posts....the reason is simple...the only junta i have interacted with indepth are Indians....had I been born in Europe I would have been cynical to European idiosyncrasies.....as on today its India which unwantingly bears my pessimisim.....
