Humans are prone to the POPular-Culture. I don't believe in a democracy, ones interest can be suppressed. But I guess THE TOPIC of this THread Stresses more on THE IDENTITY than anything else. Whether or not the Author of this thread meant to pertain the IDEA of nEEDs to PRESERVE our Identity, I would like to Stress More on that. As long as we preserve our identity, I believe we can enjoy any culture-food-language-anything. And having said that: WHAT is OUR IDENTITY?? AND how do we preserve it?? and on the Contrary: Does our Identity has anything to do with out choices? what about the changing (globalizing) world? Or, DOES our identity has any importance at all?? Why not discuss these issues first. For an instance, if we dress like someone else, if we eat like someone else, if we play like someone else, if we celebrate the festivals like someone else...... etc.. then what are we?? are we them or are we ourselves?? how can you justify?? ...... I am just trying to develop the discussion here. what do you think? Jai NEpal
