Rural Exodus
₹250.00At the time when India became independent, eighty percent of its population resided in its rural areas, but at the moment rural population was forced to make an exodus and rushed to cities and now the rural population have only come down to little more than around sixty percent. Two important changes had taken place to such exodus in urban society .
Firstly they brought in all the rural legacies, perceptions, behavior and thinking to the society and acted accordingly in cities, because it was the country of all without any exception; and, secondly they dominated in forcing their will by hook or crook. The present fictional story tries to portray the changes that had taken place. On a priority they tried everything to convert themselves to Western ways, which they thought to be urban, but most of them neither remained purely rural folk, nor became a Westerner, except with the costume drama. One most important change that had taken place was common adoption of corrupt practices and abandoning the values arising out of honesty. Now the society has lost the concepts of difference between ‘civilized’ and ‘uncivilized’.
