Today's Villages are Not Yesterday's Villages

They say that with globalization, the world has become a global village, but no one seems to fully grasp its true meaning.

That’s why people are unable to understand why villages are like this. They cannot estimate how human relationships, friendships, loves, and affections are changing. They cannot understand why films like Akkineni Nageswara Rao’s “@ Nammina Bantu”, which featured two oxen as main characters, and films, stories, and novels depicting rural life, the poor, and their struggles, are not being made today. If globalization isn’t clear to anyone, then after the demolition of the Twin Towers in America on September 11, 2001, they might have opened their eyes.

If you observe for just three hours, from 8 AM to 11 AM, at the Jagityal Old Bus Stand, you will understand what is happening in globalization. From that time, the coming and going between villages and the city relationships, banks, government offices, courts, computer centers, and Meeseva centers are bustling.

Rural life is no longer what it used to be. It’s wrong to wish it were. Even though agriculture and caste-based professions continue in rural life, the arts that build culture, literature, dish connections, YouTube, TV serials, news channels, vulgar comedy shows, and for those with time, 20 movies and serials combined across all channels daily, TV serials and continuous news broadcasts prevent people from thinking, political mutual accusations, murders, illicit relations, rapes, cooking shows, decorations, fashions, are all being propagated.
