[manishsinghon]

Hi friends,

Inorder to make any country developed it is very essential it to be modernized. Though we can adopt certain good things of western countries by holding our own culture and tradition. Therefore it is must for India to strive for Modernization to stand with the developed countries. Culture is the identity of any country and as all know India is rich in heritage, culture, customs and traditions so its very important to preserve it.
