Strong Youth or a Lost Generation? The Rise of Vulgarity and Distorted Social Norms!

In today’s world, public life and private life have increasingly blurred boundaries, thanks to the explosion of social media, web series, and digital influencers. While everyone has the right to personal choices, there is a fine line between freedom and social responsibility—a line that seems to be disappearing at an alarming rate.

Losing Our Sense of Right and Wrong?

India has a rich cultural heritage built on strong foundations of wisdom, values, and traditions. While some past customs may no longer be relevant or humane, Indian culture has overwhelmingly positive aspects that promote respect, responsibility, and community welfare. But are we letting these core values erode in the name of modernity?

The rise of social media influencers—many of whom are not experts, but rather individuals with massive followings—has made it possible for anyone to shape the minds of millions. The question is: Are they shaping minds for the better or corrupting them with irresponsibility?

When Vulgarity Becomes the New Normal

What people do in their private space is their business. But when their public actions influence thousands of young minds, do they still have the right to say, "I will do what I want?"

• Web series and films today normalize abusive language and excessive alcohol consumption.
• "Social drinking" is now depicted as a family bonding experience—where fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters drink together as if it’s the new cultural norm.
• A former top filmmaker openly boasts about starting his day with porn, ending it with vodka, mocking marriage, and ridiculing others.
• Influential YouTubers like Ranveer Allahbadia are making comments that push Western ideologies too far without considering the societal consequences.

Are We Blindly Drowning in Western Culture?

Yes, the West has many good things—scientific advancements, discipline, work ethics, and innovation. But does that mean we must adopt everything, even the worst parts?

Open marriages, polyamorous relationships, and living with robots as partners—are these signs of progress or signs of societal breakdown?

The Responsibility of Public Figures

Being a public figure means influencing society, whether directly or indirectly. When celebrities, influencers, and filmmakers bring their private indulgences and controversial beliefs into the public domain, they shape the mindset of the youth.

If someone wants to glorify negativity, let them do it in private. If they wish to talk shows on radical personal ideas, let them do it in private, not public spaces.

The Internet of Behavior is the Greatest Threat to Humanity and Society.

Are We Building Strong Youth or a Hopeless Generation?

It’s time to pause and reflect. Are we guiding our youth to be mentally strong, disciplined, and responsible citizens, or are we setting them up for a future of confusion, irresponsibility, and moral decay?

What do you think? Are we on the right path, or is it time to correct course
