Will banning fashion shows and New Year parties save Indian culture?


For the motion

·         The culture of fashion shows and new year parties in India borrowed from the western countries and Europe has become a slow poison penetrating the youth of country and hence becoming congenital, thus leaving no space for any respect whatsoever for their own rich heritage.
·         A strictly implemented and well-knit plan is a must for the restoration of order which will not only help in saving the already half corrupt youth of the country but also help the cause of development.
·         Parties invariably have uncontrolled alcohol consumption and smoking hence resulting in numerous health hazards.
·         The stories of “rave” parties and drug addiction among people of all ages especially teenagers are self-descriptive and hence show the ill-effects of the tradition.
·         The fashion world is deeply embedded into the habits of taking drugs especially the models who get lost so badly in the blind desire to look the best which is way outside the realms of Indian culture.
·         Banning these ill traditions, although a very tough task is a prerequisite for the improvement of the existing conditions.
·         Under the effect of the wrong set of beliefs and morals, developed by the freedom given by party system, it is commonplace to see teenagers disrespect their parents and hence, defy the very basics of Indian culture.
·         The fashion world is also responsible for sexually-provoking lot of people and hence the increase in cases of rape and sexual harassment. The Indian culture gives the women the respect they deserve and hence needs to be preserved.
·         It is really unbelievable to comprehend that the recent efforts of Mumbai police to implement laws concerning the consumption of alcohol and asking for licenses from the restaurants holding parties are met by resistance by the public.
·         The party culture and fashion shows have a tendency to promote unrestricted freedom and hence the disrespect for morals of Indian culture, which all calls for a ban on these western traditions to save our Indian culture.
·         The fact that the glamour and attractiveness of parties and fashion shows is inescapable even for the most morally upright, a ban becomes a necessity.

Against the motion

·            The big question is – aren’t we citizens of a democratic country? Why should the government decide what is wrong and what is right? Why fashion shows and parties are a problem given that the basic rules are observed? Why should the entire industry suffer for the wrongs of few who fail to observe rules and practice self control? Why can’t designer clothes be showcased by models when they are ultimately designed to be worn? Why can’t people enjoy with their friends at parties considering ill-practices are avoided?
·            The Indian culture we believe is about respect for elders, keeping integrity intact and not about absence of free will.
·            No, wearing only ‘saris’ is not Indian culture.
·            No partying is not Indian culture, for it was ‘Indra’ the Hindu god who had all his so called ‘apsaras’ and enjoyed the ‘madira’. It is, as we see it, just a matter of observing one’s limits and not go beyond so that it may hurt others around you.
·            Now let’s just see the effects of implementation of such a ban-

1.) Only the political hoopla over such a decision to be passed as a law with consent of the various coloured politicians of our country will require great effort which is usually why people are used to blame the government.
2.) The economic aspect of the ban is pretty perilous as the fashion and partying industry produces a substantial amount of country’s GDP and if such a ban is implemented, it is basically a shut down and hence a whole new cause for poverty and unemployment.
3.) The drug or alcohol addicts which are irrevocably present due to lack of morals and depression will revert to more illegal ways of obtaining their fit which if not present will result in an outbreak.
4.) Socially, very large part of the society will not be willing to accept such a ban and hence shows of disagreement may burst down to the roads resulting in the disruption of peace.

·            The strategy of the government to preserve Indian culture should be to get to the neck of those who are responsible for the breaking of limits, to get to the necks of drug suppliers, to get to the neck of those who fail to observe rules related to drinking, to get to the neck of rapistss and all those who disrupt the basic principles of Indian culture.
