ulture

Borrowing other people__ culture and adopting other people__ way of life does destroy nation__ self-respect which is the greatest asset a true citizen can enjoy more than food and clothes, more than all amenities and more than military glory. You can adopt a system of government and a way of life, but can you adopt the past history, travail and tradition out of which that system of government and a way of life were evolved? Can we adopt King Charles, King John, Magna Carta and civil wars and Cromwell as our own? They can always say __e evolved a system and a way of life_, but we must always sing in refrain, __e borrowed them_. Adopting a culture is not the same as adopting the use of a gadget. It is like tying other peoples_ mangoes to your tree, while plucking and throwing away your own. How absurd!
