Observations from a tribal fair in Ranchi

Santosh of Jharkhand has sent his observation after visiting a tribal fair in Ranchi. He says he felt western culture is taking an upper hand over traditions there. He says lots of people were dancing there but where there were traditional drums he found only older women and uneducated youth. Educated well dressed youth was dancing to tunes from speakers and those who were very well educated they did not take part in any dance. He says we should adopt western culture but that should not overrule our traditions
