Being from a Jat clan realized the immense pressure of
maintaining the values. Since the
beginning of my comprehending age, the only thing I was sure and proud of was
‘my culture’. It is like breathing among the people of same clique who posses’
almost identical outlook and anticipate their future generations to act and
live same. Leading a life is quite simple as your know-how is centered on rules
and regulations that you happily follow. Your judgment zone is mesmerized and
you enjoy your living.
However, at a particular age (adolescence) comes the sense
of revolt that emerges and continues for a prolonged period. The major change
comes due to easy differentiation among cultures. Mainly when a child moves out
and witnesses the children of other clans he experience change and could
identify it easily. Here, the child
prefers and develops new habits, as grass looks greener on the other side and that’s
where the clash of mind and identity begins.
Sometimes it happens at a little later stage that is around 20’s
when a child leaves home and shifts to another place for higher studies. But, some things
are grounded through roots and you cannot change them. You will love the new
culture initially but even then deep in your mind you will remain conscious of
your own conventions with whom you strongly agree. You may not want to reveal
your inner thoughts but you would prefer your own principles amongst all. Lately,
when you come back to your place, among your own people, you sooner realize
that it was just a surreal life and getting back to real is the need of an
hour. Soon you indulge in your own world which is again highly influenced by
your clan’s principles, where your heart actually is. Therefore you become
pretty sure that you would certainly slot in the same values in your future
generations.
