Dilemma of Modern Indians: Distorted Connection With Past
Relive the Webinar Moments
In this powerful lecture, Prof. Suresh Bhalla discusses the identity crisis faced by modern Indians due to a distorted understanding of their cultural and spiritual heritage. He highlights how colonial education systems and western ideologies created a disconnect from India's traditional knowledge systems, philosophies, and values. This disconnect, according to him, has led to confusion, cultural alienation, and a weakening of self-worth among younger generations. He calls for a revival of Indian civilizational consciousness, rooted in texts like the Bhagavad Gītā, Upaniṣads, and traditional sciences.
Prof. Bhalla stresses that reclaiming this heritage doesn't mean rejecting modernity but integrating India's past with present realities through informed reinterpretation. He advocates for curriculum reform, deeper engagement with Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), and self-reflective education. The goal is to help Indians rediscover a balanced, confident identity that draws strength from their spiritual and philosophical traditions while contributing meaningfully to global discourse.
