Probe into the subject, delve into its various effects - you will be amazed at how rapidly Western culture is corroding the Indian culture - exclusively to be proud of, to rust. These spicy pictures of the Western culture surely flatter the palate, but in course of time won't they canker it too? The root of all this misfortune lies in the soil nourished by the word 'modern'. What does 'modern' mean to us? Do we become modem by wearing outrageous clothes that make us look like aliens? Does modernism set in by profuse use of western slang?

A)  traditional                      

B)  progressive

C)  contemporary

D)       novel
