"Identity is partly heritage, partly upbringing, but mostly the choices you make in life." - Patricia Briggs
Each individual becomes what he or she is due to a set of factors such as family one gets, friends one chooses, education one undergoes and the priorities one sets. We acquire one identity from our individuality, and, another identity is given to us by our community, culture and nation. To grow as an individual, we need to inculcate certain values. Our schools and society emphasize moral values and to some extent, ethical values. But are we caring for our cultural values? The rich heritage of our forefathers haunts us with this question. Let us introspect, find an answer and do what we can to set the things right.
