Yes, and I no little about India first hand but can still speak.
India along with any nation in todays expanding global setting is experiencing a loss of traditions and culture. For my part the loss of culture is not good but traditions are, to me, usually a form of self or religious imposed slavery.
I chatted not long ago with a technician from India. Turns out we were interested not only in similar things but taking some similar courses. She was working there for an America company. To take care of my problem I had been routed to London and then finally to New Dehli. I cannot tell you the information locks this one call made in my brain about what is really going on in the world.
The global plastic economy is moving ahead so fast that one can hardly keep track of it. The prime movers in world finance are preparing people for the moves underway and they themselves are moving into tighter unions. Watch the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The finance, the computer and communications technology, the mobility, the connection of such things as film - hey I was looking at the daily movies for all screens in Cairo, Egypt. There were films I had not heard of but the venue of American and other foreign movies was awesome by comparison to the U.S.
What I have just said is the key. India, like many other foreign countries, is sucking up anything the world has to offer. It makes not difference your culture or traditions at the rate this is happening in todays world.
Like foreign exchange students. Do you think that exchange students living in a foreign home just see how other people live and go home? No, the experiences of the guests and hosts rub off and modify each just a little (maybe not even enough to notice).
Tradition and culture are in great part created by isolation. Take away the isolation and both must be modified. Yes, India is losing its tradition and culture just like any country whose leaders seek a place of power on the global stage.

I don't think so. The traditional type of music and dance has a patronage and many youngsters though go through the revised curriculams in the schools, also go in for arts in their spare time. Some of the performances are breathtaking. People from Gujarat and in business and staying in many countries have not left their traditional practices, instead a lot of Laxminarayan temples have sprung up whereever they live. I consider there was a set back two decades ago, but the awareness in the young ones has created the new climate of sustaining our tradition and culture.

Yes it is, however slowly.
That's what happens in history: traditions disappear and cultures change. However, new traditions may take the place of the old ones and the culture may change for the better.
That is the great challenge facing India, to nudge everything in the right direction.
