Relevance of Indian Ancient Literature and the Study of Indian Culture in the Age of Value Crisis

As we all know we are living in a global world. The impact of Globalization is being felt on all aspects of human life. It has affected every society, tradition and every culture very deeply around the world. It has changed man's perceptions, attitudes, habits, priorities and goals. Actually the entire world is in continual flux and change. The rapid progress of scientific knowledge and thought has resulted in worldwide development. But together with this we are also faced with a competitive world where people have started treating life as a race thus losing sensitivity towards their fellow competitors/human beings. Often the Modern Age is characterized as the Age of 'Anxiety', Age of 'Information and Consumerism' and the Age of 'Value Crisis'which leading to dehumanizing and materialistic value of human life.
