The trends of the changing value systems and alienation of youths in India: ... The country's kids have struggling to cope up or to strike a balance between the old culture and values and the modern upbringing with a slice of western influence.

Answer 2

Answer:

Euro-American sociologists such Bennett Berger (1963) and many others often

talk about ‘Youth culture’. In Western societies youth culture is identifiable

and hence it is considered to be a sub-social system like Black culture, America-

Mexican culture etc., But in a country like India, the youth are intimately

linked with certain other features of social system. Therefore, Indian sociologists

reluctantly accept the very notion of youth culture as employed by foreign

scholars. In our discussion on youth we shall treat youth as “socio-demographic

or statistical categories” of Indian society, which has enormous sociological

importance and relevance.

Sociological studies on youth in India involve a discussion on several

dimensions, namely demographic, social, cultural, economic and political. It

would be useful here to examine demographic characteristics of Indian youth

in terms of residence, education and working force.
