A questioner expresses concern about the youth being corrupted by media and political agendas, especially during elections and festivals. She notes that her own sons were involved in groups promoting extreme agendas but have since been separated from them after listening to Acharya Prashant. However, she worries about their friends who are becoming aggressive and involved in political issues without proper understanding. Acharya Prashant responds by clarifying that it is not inherently wrong for a young person to have an opinion on political matters. He states that when a young person observes society, politics, and religion and has a reaction, it is not a bad thing. The problem arises when these young people form opinions without knowing the facts. The issue is not with having an extreme opinion, but with opinions that are based on lies. He explains that the Gita is also an extremity, and Truth itself is an extremity. The problem is not with going to extremes, but with going to extremes on the path of falsehood. He points out that people are made to believe things presented as facts, which then leads to aggression, violence, radicalization, and weaponization. The entire problem is that the information being disseminated is not factual. He gives the example of the propaganda that the Hindu population is decreasing, questioning where this is happening and noting that with 1.2 billion Hindus in the world, there should be no insecurity. The most heinous form of this misinformation spreads on WhatsApp, where poison can be distributed in closed communities. He attributes this vulnerability to a flawed education system and upbringing that have not equipped people to test information before believing it. Acharya Prashant suggests that fact-checking should be easy in the age of the internet, yet young people are not doing it. They form an opinion, often from a single WhatsApp forward, and then become sold to that opinion, forgetting its dubious origin. He concludes that our education and upbringing have failed to instill the fundamental habit of questioning and verifying information. He advises that children should be taught to verify any information that comes to them, especially on matters of public importance, by checking reliable sources like Wikipedia, which, despite its flaws, is comparatively pure and based on citations from reliable media.
