It is viewed with concern that the youth in India are busy imbibing the spirit of the West. The craze for sparkle and the glitter of the materialistic civilization of the West makes them imitators, often unsuccessful imitators of a civilization alien to them. In the process they are weaned away from their own culture. They remain rootless. Ultimately they find themselves in a no man’s land. The Indian youth have none but themselves to blame for this. It is high time the Indian youth gave up running after the West and lived their indigenous culture. This is an attempt at waking up the present generation to their own hoary inheritance. Indian has all through valued her religious beliefs, held on to her spirituality. The Indian philosophies, the Indian religion, all preach and teach renunciation. The soul is superior to the body. Spiritual life is the real life. Materialism and worldly life are a delusion. Life for the Indian is a quest for God, for the Infinite, beyond the limitations of time and space. The Indians value transcendentalism, the going beyond the seen to the unseen, beyond the physical to the spiritual, beyond the apparent to the real. The genuine Indian mind is not affected by materialism and commercialism. It searches deeper into the Spirit.
