The Role of Children in Preserving Indian Cultural Heritage

Abstract

India is blessed with the glorious prodigies who have shaped the minds of youth from ancient times. The Indian culture has been preserved and reinforced by the inspiring stories of such young prodigies like Dhruva, Prahallada, Ashtãvakra, Nachikaeta, Eklavya, Arjuna, and many more. They are the promoters of the culture that we have inherited. The example that these ancient children have set have inspired thousands of great people and nurtured the children of all following ages.

However, with the increasing influence of foreign cultures and means of communication, our children are more acquainted with the western idols and kept aloof from the native role models. However, the morals taught by these children have potential enough to spread lover the world and influence the whole world to make the future generations wiser and more cultured. This paper is an attempt to bring in light the inspiring characters of ancient children who contribute strongly in upholding the culture and heritage of our country.
