Acharya Prashant explains that the foundation of the Indian nation lies in its Vedantic values. He observes that the current generation of youngsters has a shallow relationship with the nation because they are unfamiliar with these underlying spiritual values. For many, Indian identity is reduced to superficial icons like food, Bollywood, or festivals, which are insufficient to inspire true love for the country. He argues that while people may have parochial pride, genuine love requires something sublime and sacred, which is the essence of India that has been deliberately withheld from the youth. He points out that many Indians are becoming ashamed of their identity, often changing their names to sound more Western, which indicates a deeper loss of self. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the root of the Indian nation is essentially spiritual, and without spirituality, people remain Indian only by name or passport. He advocates for a true nationalism in the Indian context, which is distinct from the narrow or violent nationalism seen elsewhere. This true nationalism must be founded on the expansive and enriching values enshrined in Vedanta. He concludes that the nation's inner security depends on the youth staying in touch with this Vedantic essence, as external security through the army and technology cannot prevent inward decay.
