Full Video: The Foundation of the Indian nation || Acharya Prashant, on Vedanta (2021)
Transcript
00:00The present generation has been deliberately starved of the essence of
00:06India. They are Indians only by name, only by passport and they don't want to
00:10remain Indians even in name. Go to YouTube or any of these social media and
00:15you will find Indians having usernames like Martin Hawk. The fellow's name was
00:19Marthand. Marthand means the son. Marthand Kumar became Martin Hawk. We think of
00:24this as some kind of a passing fad. It's not passing fad. It points towards
00:28something deeper. The fellow is ashamed of his identity. He wants to wear a
00:34totally different persona. This is bound to happen because he does not know his
00:38identity. The Indian nation is founded on a very expansive ground. Very expensive,
00:44very uplifting, very enriching and therefore nationalism must flourish in
00:50India. Nationalism founded on truly Indian values. By Indian values I mean the values
00:57enshrined in Vedant.
