The best way to preserve a culture is to understand it rather than just being proud of it. Of course, I am referring to the great and supposedly famous Indian culture.
Different regions have different customs proving they are ways of behavior rather than requirements of religion or god.
Customs followed blindly are susceptible to immense corruption. Social traditions die out when they lose their meaning. Only a small fragment of customs are followed and those that survived happen to be either made up for selfish needs or those that benefit a specific segment of the population. most of customs are lost merely because people stopped to understand and appreciate their meaning. Many don't even know why they are doing certain things and are surprisingly proud about it. They fail to see how much they are missing without even attempting to appreciate their social customs.
The systems that survive are the ones that evolve continuously based on the surrounding situations. If they fail to evolve, they stop fulfilling the basic needs and go extinct. There are all kinds of examples, the eco systems, the economic systems, constitutions, educational systems. social traditions die out when they lose their meaning.
