Social Customs and New Technology

The neighbourhood impacts our life and thought a lot. With its upliftment every individual becomes merrier and the vice versa. Urbanisation and industrialisation have rapidly soaked the better elements of our communities to shift from the countryside in such a haphazard manner which niether fulfill to shape our urban locations properly nor spare the rural areas to remain usually closely-knit as it had always been in the past. In Mithila the age-old panji-system for the sake of arranged marriages, sacred thread-bearing ceremony also known as Upnain sanskar and similar other family/social ceremonies are being arduous for those who adhere to their traditions. The modern analysts believe that these measures must break old traditions since which they strongly term to be mere wastage and societal sins. Contrarily, development, modernity and efforts to stick to old traditions and age-old ceremonies may be witnessed not only in our but even in the various so-called western civilizations. In UK we find so much propaganda over its royal wedding in the age-old tradition. President Trump in the US invited scholars and priests of different faith during oath-taking ceremony. Our PM Modiji always chooses to offer prayers in temples with detailed rituals. Under these conditions technique and knowledge to operate modern systems of communication need to support the immediate demand to maintain and improve such traditional activities and restore the feeling of age old closeness among people which once used to be our close circle.
