Main Body

Eradication of social evils:

Provided more voice to women and addressed challenges of child marriage, dowry, female infanticide (eg. Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao)
Secularization of caste
Abolishment of untouchability (Article 17 and Prevention of Manual Scavenging Act)
More rights to LGBTQIA+ (Navtej Johar and NALSA judgment)
Against patriarchal norms with gender led development
More acceptance of vulnerable sector and emphasis on inclusive growth

Threatened culture:

Westernization has unfortunately taken place in name of modernity
It has led to blind emulation of western society and adoption of their dressing sense, music, food habits (eg. Mcdonaldization)
Respect for elders is losing, joint family culture declining
Religious significance of marriage is decreasing

However, there is simultaneous revival of culture as well as globalization.

Thus, modernization has been a complex phenomena. But we should remember our Panch Pran to both decolonize our minds and respect our heritage to be changed modern nation.
