Several Bollywood songs, dialogues and characters take various cultures and communities for a ride.

One cannot help but wonder if there is any harm in depicting diversity in movies and songs if it is done tastefully. Chris Martin has expressed his love for the Indian culture numerous times and with Beyonce, he had hoped to showcase the beautiful aspects of the nation that makes it unique. It is unfair to limit artists to only portray the ethnicities to which they belong. According to the Western view of Indian culture, there are poverty, superstition, color and the assumption that Indians are celebrating festivals all the time.Īrtists always have to balance the thin line between self-expression and offensive content. From the perspective of the modern Indian, this video is a filled with stereotypes of a mystical culture the West perceives India is. Urban Indians are moving forward with the times and living according to their own terms. Divorces are becoming common occurrences, education is increasing, and the nation as a whole is moving towards modernization. Most Indian women are now working professionals, they are no longer restricted to the four walls of their homes.
