Gurumurthy delivers YGP Centenary Year Memorial Lecture on Indian Civilisation
S. Gurumurthy, editor of Thuglak, delivered a lecture on Indian civilization, arguing that Western influence is creating a rebellious Gen Z in India. He contrasted this with the cultural continuity and family-oriented savings habits he believes are inherent to Indian society.
Why it matters
The lecture reflects ongoing cultural debates in India regarding the impact of globalization on traditional values and youth identity.
The Gen Z in India were being "created" as someone who rebelled, while the Gen Z in Europe, Japan and America wanted to listen to the music of 1970s and 80s and read the books of 1960s, Editor of Thuglak and chairman of Vivekananda International Foundation S. Gurumurthy said on Thursday.
