‘Multiple boyfriends or girlfriends’: Baba Ramdev says many Gen Zs doing well, flags concerns

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has spoken about the challenges facing India's Generation Z. While he acknowledged that many young people are thriving, Ramdev also highlighted concerns about certain trends among the younger generation. These include involvement in violence, relationships with multiple partners, smoking, drinking, and other unhealthy habits.

Ramdev criticized those who believe India is not progressing well, telling reporters that some individuals are frustrated with the political system and aspire to become Prime Minister. However, he urged political leaders and their supporters to exercise patience and not let personal differences divide the country along caste, class, or community lines.

Education was another area of concern for Ramdev. He expressed worry about the inadequate facilities and resources in smaller schools, stating that students are leaving these institutions due to poor infrastructure, lack of teachers, electricity, water, and toilets. Ramdev threatened to launch a protest if the issues with India's education system are not addressed.

He also criticized the current examination system, pointing out that students in smaller schools are struggling because of a lack of books and teachers. Ramdev claimed that the country's focus on competitive examinations for admissions is leading to a situation where students are "leaving smaller schools because of inadequate infrastructure and teaching resources." He questioned the role of Class 10 and 12 board examinations, arguing that admissions are becoming increasingly dependent on competitive entrance tests.
