Gurumurthy delivers YGP Centenary Year Memorial Lecture on Indian Civilisation
S. Gurumurthy, the Editor of Thuglak and chairman of Vivekananda International Foundation, delivered the Dr. (Mrs.) YGP Centenary Year Memorial Lecture on Indian Civilization in Chennai. He observed that Gen Z in India is being created as individuals who rebel against the system, society, parents, tradition, and religion. Gurumurthy highlighted that this is an atypical, consumerist approach by western communication experts.
Despite this, many young Indians still visit temples and attend Kumbh Mela, engaging in a range of professions from software engineering to business. Gurumurthy noted that the Indian practice of saving for future generations sets it apart from western countries. He emphasized that civilization is about continuity and remembering the past as a source of pride and self-confidence.
Gurumurthy concluded that studying Indian civilization holds the key to understanding the universe, climate change, and human impact.
