Before I state the 3 Mantras which are chanted(Subjective) & Practiced largely by Indian parents from decades by Default. I would like to emphasize that,why are these Mantras so crucial in our Indian society.
We would all agree that many of our fellow citizens lack the ability to think or Process a thought. In my opinion "we 'd find it more difficult to process a thought, we 'd rather just adopt a thought of some other Person". That's easy right!!
And what are the criterias to be the " Some other person" whose thought we 'd just adopt. Its simple, they could be your parents, relatives, some Eminent person, someone you idolize(Movie actor or politician maybe), Or anyone who could just shout his opinion with aggression, confidence or even remissness 'd work.
Why do we Indians have a hard time processing a thought or to generate a opinion on our own?The answer is very simple too. We are not used to it.
We live in a multi-cultured society. Our Diversity in religions,Language, Principle, Philosophy, Tradition, Art makes us who we are. So it does creates a lot of questions in the young generation's mind. Which is essentially a very good thing. But answering those questions is Damn big task for Indian parents. Because they don't know the answer either. And for generations Indian parents had this great tool to tackle such difficult situation. Which I like to call "The 3 Mantras" which 'd solve their crises and they could easily dodge the questions.
The 3 Mantras are :
a) What ever we do, we say is always for your own good.
b) Do what we say and the way we say.
c) Don't ask questions(Be obedient).
All the 3 Mantras support one another and we also have few more words in support for these mantras. like Our culture ,Tradition,values & Principle which sadly those who preach couldn't define.
Although there is One Word enough to support all "The 3 Mantras", Caste!!!
Many of our countries problems would solve if we all could process our own thought. Think, Process and conclude "what is right" & "What is wrong".
In such a Scenario, Chaos is not easy to breed. Riots wouldn't be easy to architect. Politicians wouldn't be fooling us around. Businessmen wouldn't be deciding our career paths. We might be chasing our passion instead of desperately trying to settle down. And most important,In my opinionIndians would not be the most depressed people in the world.
This was the reflection of my thinking. The projection of the thought process of my Mind.
Thanks for reading!!!
