Is pub culture a necessary evil?


India is famous for its cultural heritage and diverse civilizations. But as time goes we have fused modernity with our divine inherent culture. Over the past few decades we have been getting accustomed to technological changes and historical inflexion points which have changed the image and self-images of men and society, spawned new art, literature, cinema and politics, all of which add up to what is bandied as culture. Through evolution of society, historical events, discovery of new lands, scientific inventions and birth of new religions culture has changed.

Nowadays youngsters are visiting pubs which has increased the rates of accidents due to drunken driving. In India, 40 per cent of road accidents are alcohol-related. There is also a study which says that in the last five to six years there is an increase of 60 per cent among the youth who have taken to drinking. Pub culture is against Indian ethos. Drinking habit not only spoils their own health but causes sickness in family which in turn results in the disintegration of a fine tuned family and exposing them to poverty since they spend most of their income in pubs and bar. Instead by curbing drinking habits he could lead a very happy and peaceful life .

So why take a poison too much that might become lethal to our own life. Women can socialize with men in workplace and can have good relationship with their colleagues but women having pub culture and illegal relationship with others not only spoil their own career but their happiness in family. All worship women as God , So why do some women spoil this name and bring disgrace to the whole women society.

So nip the bud of pub culture and keep the traditions and culture of India always intact.
