Is Pakistani culture dying?

[Valar.]

But we use materials to express our culture.

Table is originally a Western thing and did not exist as a general concept in the Islamic world until Western colonialism. Same with eating utensils.

Now theres nothing wrong with eating on tables but @lastofthepatriots claim has validity that Pakistani culture which was rooted in the humble traditions of our people is slowly being shedded by the younger generations.

Well, let's just say, one guy thinks eating Pulao/Biryani with hands is our culture. Me, on the other hand, I think eating Pulao/Biryani is our culture whether with hands or spoon or fork.

When I visited my grandparents and uncles in Pakistan in the 90's they did eat on the chadar but last time I went which was two years ago they didn't do that anymore but had dining tables.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

In Pakistani culture, we would all sit together as a family and eat. Meaning breakfast, lunch and dinner were prepared by our hardworking and brave grandmothers. Nowdays, I think Pakistanis following western culture prefer to eat in private. But in the days that I was raised, we all ate together on the floor with 50 different dishes amongst family.

Its diminishing even in rural areas.

What do you think of restaurants in which Takhtas(wooden bench) are used to sit and eat? They are getting popular in Karachi. Trying the revive the culture in Karachi(pretty common sight in Balochistan and KP though), I suppose
