It's often said that when something ends, something new begins. But when identity fades away, there's no going back. This can be true for many things, but when it comes to losing the sense of who exactly we as humans are, it's a different story. Whether it's through oppression, discrimination, or simply forgetting our heritage, the consequences can be profound, it's a big loss. This loss can affect not just individuals, but whole communities or even entire civilizations. It's a hard thing to deal with, and it can have a big impact on our lives. Root Identity is a vital part inbuilt in human genetics. Whether in micro level or macro level. It's a reminder of the importance of knowing who we are and where we come from. Without our identity, we may struggle to find our way forward. But amidst this struggle, there's also the opportunity to rediscover, rebuild, and forge a new path—one that honours our past while embracing the future.

The true colours of humans are to explore and exchange great ideas,  always seeking to open the possibilities of innovation and uncovering new territories fueled by curiosity. 

limiting the richness that comes from their interaction. Similarly, in society, the mingling of different identities enriches our collective experience. Just as mixed colours bring their own distinct qualities, so too do diverse identities contribute to the tapestry of humanity. Embracing this diversity fosters understanding, collaboration, and progress, enabling us to unlock the full potential of our shared humanity for   a more inclusive and harmonious world.

Powerful wins the race, the race to influence others. The quest for influence is an extremely real world scenario . A race that the Western world has historically excelled in. The early Western narrative, which extensively emphasises the importance of influence.  It encompasses a broader spectrum of values and behaviours. From shaping cultural and societal norms to dictating global trends,  Their influence has extended far and wide, imprinting their dress codes and culinary preferences onto global consciousness in record time. Like monarchs of culture, they've spearheaded a campaign of Westernization, leaving no corner untouched, westernising even the most distant and unrelated societies—from the vibrant landscapes of African nations to the untouched societies of northern Asia. 

Cultural doomsday

In a remarkably short span of time, Western influence has permeated cultures across the globe. It's akin to a king imposing their will. This hegemonic influence has led to a homogenization of cultures, where traditional practices give way to Western ideals at an astonishing pace. The impact is profound, with this dominance has not only homogenised cultural landscapes but also raises questions about the preservation of diverse identities in the face of such overwhelming influence. Striving for a more inclusive and harmonious global society, where the richness of human heritage is celebrated rather than eclipsed by dominant narratives.

The unification of culture, while initially appearing promising, can have detrimental consequences over time. In our contemporary world, characterised by the aftermath of industrialization and globalisation, this phenomenon seems to be at its peak. Unfortunately, this has led to a notable loss of cultural diversity and traditional festivities. Take the widespread adoption of English as a dominant language in recent decades, which has contributed to the decline of indigenous languages and cultural expressions worldwide, resulting in diminished interest in native festivals and traditional practices. 

Moreover, there has been a concerning shift in fashion trends towards more revealing and culturally inappropriate attire, disregarding regional norms and values. Open nudity and unsuitable dressing culture according to the regions in the name of fashion. This erosion of cultural identity extends to the realm of entertainment as well. 

While cinema serves as a powerful medium for sharing cultural perspectives, its ascendancy has coincided with a decline in traditional performing arts. Regrettably, people increasingly prioritise movies over investing time in these rich cultural expressions, exacerbating the decline of traditional arts.The allure of movies has drawn audiences away from timeless forms of expression kind of overshadowed traditional art forms like theatrical dance, staged drama, and opera, resulting in a gradual erosion of these art forms.  

Indeed, even within Western countries, architectural trends often lean heavily towards Westernization, resulting in a landscape dominated by standardised shapes and glass facades. This homogenization of architecture has led to a noticeable absence of traditional elements, which once boasted a rich tapestry of vibrant shapes and colours. This departure from tradition can sometimes create a sense of detachment, as the built environment fails to evoke the warmth and familiarity of traditional architectural styles. Embracing diversity in architectural design not only adds visual interest but also fosters a greater sense of belonging and freedom within living spaces. By reintroducing elements of traditional architecture, we can create environments that feel more authentic and reflective of our cultural heritage, enriching our daily experiences and enhancing our connection to the places we call home.

The era of cultural globalisation, while the unification of culture may promise progress and connectivity, its unchecked advancement risks the loss of irreplaceable cultural heritage and artistic traditions.  Balancing the benefits of global connectivity with the preservation of local traditions is essential for fostering a more inclusive and culturally vibrant world.

Diversity in all its forms is like a secret ingredient for a thriving economy. Think of it this way: different regions have different needs and wants. When we recognize and celebrate these differences, it sets off a chain reaction of economic benefits.

For starters, it boosts demand and supply. One region might want something that another region has plenty of. This creates opportunities for trade, both locally and internationally. It's like opening up new doors for businesses to grow and expand.

Celebrating diverse festivals and traditions is another way diversity boosts the economy. When communities come together to celebrate their unique cultures, it strengthens bonds and brings people closer. This sense of togetherness attracts more residents, businesses, and visitors, which means more money flowing into the local economy.

Plus, festivals and events aren't just about having fun—they're also showcases for local talent, products, and heritage. This helps boost community pride and brings in even more economic activity. So, diversity isn't just good for the soul—it's good for the wallet too.

With rapid technological advancements, it's crucial for us to recognize the advantages of embracing diverse cultures and festivals, especially in terms of their economic impact and job opportunities. By encouraging people to partake in festivals, it not only allows for enjoyment but also creates job opportunities.

Therefore, governments should consider investing in the promotion of various festivals, even the smaller ones, to ensure they gain recognition among the population. This not only boosts cultural appreciation but also generates economic benefits by attracting tourists and creating employment opportunities in event planning, hospitality, and related industries. In this way, celebrating diversity becomes not just a cultural endeavour but also an economic stimulus for communities.

It is paramount to acknowledge the significance of safeguarding diverse cultural identities and time to honoured traditions.
