The westernization of the Indian youth is one of the best as well as the worst things that has happened to the country. The youth of India is interested in neither politics nor religion. Lack of interest in religion means less communal tension. If a person doesn’t have any views on his own religion, then why will he care about someone else’s? But many a times, the politicians try to invoke the religious sentiments of the people for their own mileage, which has led to untoward incidents in the past. Lack of interest in politics helps at this point. Today, the youth doesn’t care what the politician has to say; for them, it’s all blabber. The instigation of political leaders has no effect on them. That is a relief and a hope for a riot-free country. But on the other hand, corruption is on the rise since the youth doesn’t pay attention to politics. The inflow of black money is increasing day by day as no one feels morally responsible to keep a check on it. Ultimately, the youth is at the loss. Even culturally, the youth is slowly losing out on all the customs and traditions that give a sense of spirituality and peace to a person. If this continues, the essence of India will be no more. What is needed from the youth is a fine balancing act where they are modern without forgetting their traditional values, and keen in the political environment without being extremists.
