Acharya Prashant observes that consumerism and a shallow philosophy of life are rapidly eroding India's spiritual heritage. He notes that places like Connaught Place in Delhi have become indistinguishable from Western cities, with local scripts and culture being replaced by Western brands and banners. He argues that India is striving to become a cheap copy of the West, which is futile because the West itself is not content with its own state. While he acknowledges that Western technology and work culture are worth emulating, he strongly advises against copying Western values and philosophies of life.
