The sad part is that people have got fixated in traditions without ever trying to find out why certain customs took root in the first place. Many of the customs that we call as tradition were answers to problems faced by society in the past. A healthy society must create new rules while discarding those that are out of tune with the present environment. It must keep evolving always eager to embrace the good things and discard the useless. For this to happen, we need good leaders with vision who lead by example. That is the only way forward and we have no option. If we fail to adapt to changing needs and continue to adopt the ostrich policy, we are only quickening the pace of our own annihilation. No amount of pointing fingers will help us when the tsunami is set in motion.
