Absolutely. Change is welcome. Change is good. Change is life.
But let us not get carried away. Social changes happen from various causes.
-> economics
-> foreign influence
-> value shift
-> environmental, political
Some changes are healthy and good, some are neutral, others are negative. One must use the proper conscience and decide the nature of change.
Here you mentioned - a) reduction in joint family culture, b) inter-caste and inter-race marriage. Both of these are driven by 'economics'. Why should these be counted as a value-shift? Should these bother us as negative?
