00:00The present generation has been deliberately starved of the essence of India.
00:06They are Indians only by name, only by passport.
00:08And they don't want to remain Indians even in name.
00:11Go to YouTube or any of these social media,
00:13and you will find Indians having usernames like Martin Hawk.
00:16The fellow's name was Martand.
00:18Martand means the son.
00:19Martand Kumar became Martin Hawk.
00:21We think of this as some kind of a passing fad.
00:23You know, it's not passing fad.
00:24It points towards something deeper.
00:26The fellow is ashamed of his identity.
00:29He wants to wear a totally different persona,
00:32which is bound to happen because he does not know his identity.
00:35Identity of India, the root of the Indian nation is essentially spiritual
00:39because the Indian nation is founded on a very expansive ground.
00:44Very expansive, very uplifting, very enriching.
00:47And therefore, nationalism must flourish in India.
00:50Nationalism founded on truly Indian values.
00:54By Indian values, I mean the values enshrined in Vedanta.
