Justice Katju’s critique of contemporary Indian youth on National Youth Day, which coincides with Swami Vivekanand’s birthday, paints a stark contrast between past and present. He laments the perceived lack of patriotism among today’s youth, comparing them unfavorably to historical figures like Bhagat Singh and international examples of youthful sacrifice for national causes. However, he expresses hope in the emergence of a new generation inspired by the likes of Swami Vivekanand, potentially leading India towards a revolution for prosperity and dignity.
