Is Geet (the show) becoming too westernized? - Page 12

Hey Guys,

If we want to turn this into a thread about Hindiuism and its customs/rituals, please let us cite our sources from the scriptures themselves. As interesting and thought-provoking as some of these articles are, they are not the prime sources for what Hinduism is. The basis of Hinduism is in the Vedas, Upanishads, and the puranas such as the Ramayana, Bhagawata, Mahabharata, and other such Puranas. They are the real sources, so unless every one of us is ready to cite direct quotations from these scriptures (and that too if they are available to all of us), only then can we really debate about what is written in Hindu scriptures or not.

i hate how people think that just because were born outside of India we don't know or value our culture and were not "true Indians"....and that couldn't be farther from the truth even though we don't live their our parents did and they instiilled the culture and values in us!!!!

Wow......ermmm dont know where to start 4rm....I personally respect ur decision but I actually dont agree with the term westernized.........as i am from uk and i watch alot of westernized soaps tooo and geet does not even match their level as geet has its own charm and essence..I feel geet is more of a youth urban show ...by youth I dont mean westernized ....as youth has many different perceptions......for me personally youth means moving foward with modernism not westernism.........infact I luv geet even more since the story base was shifted to delhi..........as many users (with due respect) have commented that it was integral for the story to move further as the usp of this show is geet...this show depicts her struggles and hardship....and how she independantly settles in a new city at her own accord without any moral support.............so I think they had to modernise the serial a bit more............a wouldn't agree with the term westernized............becoz geet is not at all wesernized in fact she is still seen in salwaar kameez clad..........and delhi is a city where modernism is infact being followed by constant itme changes....to be honest I feel within time every city or person does change and move further with modernsim in order to be adjusted to society needs etc.....so they had to modernise the characters in order to fit the delhi base culture and to give the show sum freshness after khoshyarpur.......and don't 4get geet is a youth urban show.....so c.vs would create a script that is mainly aimed at the youth.....and 2 b honest...since the story base shifted to delhi.....the fan base of geet has inflated dramatically which took the show to a new height........making it an officially no.1 show 😊 (sorry about the babbling, I dont even know if this makes any sense just expressing my p.o.v......not intended to hurt anyone) if u dont understand this....jus ignore it😆

When did I, or anyone here, say people born outside of India don't know their culture?
