00:00The present generation has been deliberately starved of the essence of India.
00:06They are Indians only by name, only by passport.
00:10And they don't want to remain Indians even in name.
00:12Go to YouTube or any of these social media and you will find Indians having usernames
00:17like Martin Hawk.
00:19The fellow's name was Marthand.
00:20Marthand means the sun.
00:22Marthand Kumar became Martin Hawk.
00:24We think of this as some kind of a passing fad.
00:26It's not passing fad.
00:27It points towards something deeper.
00:29The fellow is ashamed of his identity.
00:32He wants to wear a totally different persona, which is bound to happen because he does not
00:37know his identity.
00:39The Indian nation is founded on a very expansive ground.
00:43Very expansive.
00:44Very uplifting.
00:45Very enriching.
00:46And therefore, nationalism must flourish in India.
00:51Nationalism founded on truly Indian values.
00:54By Indian values, I mean the values enshrined in Vedanta.
