TRADITION AND MODERNITY

Only tradition or only modernity is inadequate as a living philosophy of life. In all stages of human development, both tradition and modernity have played a significant role. Only tradition will bind men in chains Only modernity will make men hollow. Therefor,. it cannot be either tradition or modernity it has to be a combination of both.

Life is a running stream. With the passage of time, slow but steady changes take place. The beliefs and attitudes once held sacred are modified. Sometimes they are given up altogether. Certain social norms and practices are regarded absolutely essential. But after some years they are found to be hollow and given up. Human relationships undergo considerable changes. For example, relationships between parents and children, between teachers and students, between friends, between relatives undergo changes. Science and technology, of course, keeps registering radical changes. Therefore, with the passage of time, the texture of life undergoes total transformation.
