You ask why we youngsters have little regard for "Indian culture".
I'll tell you. This culture tells me that I, a woman, must always eat last. I must sacrifice my needs for those of others. Even if I may be well-educated and gainfully employed, my views will always carry less weight than those of a man's.
My parents shielded me from the archaic dust of "Indian culture" all these years. But now after marriage, Pandora's box has been opened and it's all I can to not let its contents suffocate me.
