Sir,
Please refer “Shrinking Human Relations Across Duggar” by Ashok Sharma.The learned author has given a comprehensive account on old-age traditions and culture of Duggar heritage.He has nicely touched upon the relevant key issues of rich Duggar heritage. It is very unfortunate that these traditions and customs have immensely eroded away from Duggar culture.
One of the major reasons for its decline may be attributed to shun or discarding of our age-old joint family system- a strong bondage since time immemorial; and ever growing modernisation in our society.The worst affected segments are in urban sector where these things are almost obsolete and surprisingly new generation is totally unaware about the customs and rituals of Duggar heritage.
Now, the social scientists and related social organisations have initiated collective efforts to create wide-spread awareness to preserve Duggar heritage.
I wish to cite an example of the people of West Bengal, Gujarat, Punjab & other South Indian States who keep their culture alive despite their settlement in any part of the world. It is high time to introspect over this vital issue and devise the robust means to save further decline of Duggar heritage- known world-over.
