Things have been changing rapidly all throughout the Indian campuses. People no longer indulge themselves in long addas over chai. No longer do they sit on a rock and skip their college classes. These days it’s all about eating at Mc Donald’s, grabbing an espresso at your nearest Barista and maybe listening to Bryan Adams.
Things have changed indeed. If you go around a college campus in Kolkata or rather one in Delhi, you will come across kids displaying their ACDC or Metallica shirts and going dhoom on their cool looking bikes. Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar have become the topics of yesteryear on college campuses. Westernization has changed the face of Indian campuses today. Instead of Manna Dey or Kishore Kumar, college kids today listen to Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd. From music to food, everything has changed so rapidly.
Today, students prefer a strong dose of mocha to the regular phuchkas. Although there are some kids who still fall back on the phuchkas. A lot of Americanization has changed the Indian college campuses of today. ‘Let’s go and grab a sandwich’ has become the style of today. Students prefer sandwiches over mixed chaats. Many are reluctant to actually identify their roots. The young generation of today have indeed become the generation next. This is evident from the Indian campus crowd of today. They have indeed given the Indian campuses a facelift. The puma shoes, cool t-shirts, and the fashionable jeans all throughout Indian campuses tell us one thing: westernization of the campuses.
