Indian culture is one of the most ancient culture and a lot of it depends upon the seasons and the weather in the subcontinent. While the culture holds people together, it also puts many of us in severe disadvantage and leads to exploitation of the weaker sections of the society. As science progresses, we need to refresh our cultural values, so that they are more inclusive and become a help for its followers and less exploitative and rigid.
