Transcript

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.

00:51Nationalism founded on truly Indian values.

00:54By Indian values, I mean the values enshrined in Vedanta.
