Entire world is losing originality not only Indians....you can blame it on globalisation of everything. We seem to know less and less about our own culture and country.

After all how does a civilisation die?

One way is by physical destruction as the Europeans dose in America and some other countries and destroyed whole civilizations there. Another is that people lose faith in their own way of life, philosophies, principles and thought currents etc., and the they are destroyed.

For example, the Greek and Roman civilizations. What great civilizations they were! But there came a time when the intelligentsia lost faith in their own way of life, in their own wisdom. They adopted a totally different philosophy in their lives and where are these nations and their civilizations now? In a sense, in the museums and monuments!
