Born and brought up in an Indian family, I have grown accustomed to Indian traditions and values. As my father's job entailed frequent transfers, a large part of my childhood was spent living a nomadic life, which exposed me to the incredible ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversities of my country. In India, with 10 kilometres travelled, one discovers distinct traditions, customs and ways of life. I have seen tribes of Andamans, Lakshadweep and Arunachal living in substantial isolation and also seen communities in whose life modern civilization and ancient traditions co-exist. These exposures have definitely made a mark on my personality, perspectives and outlook. My upbringing was never restricted by rigid religious practices and hence secularism and egalitarianism were naturally ingrained in me. The expansive Indian culture has taught me to respect diversity and, I am sure, will help me to appreciate diversities of the vibrant Colgate community.
Today we live in a global village, where every person is connected to every other. Knowing and understanding people from different backgrounds and respecting their perspectives and opinions are prerequisites to peace and harmony. Interaction with members of diverse communities of Colgate University will be an enlightening experience. It will be exciting to study the similarities and the distinctiveness of cultural elements of this community and those of an ethnic community living in India. Another aspect that interests me is to understand how exposure to modernity has impacted the culture and values of a community and what impact planned isolation may have made.
