A survey of paying service provider Western Union company, said, “About 69 percent of the youth who were born between 1980 and 2000, said that the world is now more divided than in 2015. More than five out of 10 young people believe that by 2030 the division will be deeper. Most of the young Indians of working age believe that the world has been divided in the last three years. According to him, religious differences and nationalist politics have emerged as the greatest threat across the world. The survey indicates that young people of this age group feel that before the concept of global citizenship and borderless world, religious differences and nationalist politics have emerged as the biggest threat. After these, there is a fear of immigrants in danger and race.
The survey says that the youth of the said category considered the threat of racism and immigrants globally as the greatest threat to globalization, but on Indian level, religious differences and nationalist politics are bigger than other threats. This survey has come at a time when the country is concerned about divisive politics and social polarization, due to which the growing incidents of killing people by killing the crowd(Mob-Lynching) in the society and hate crimes are becoming headlines in the country and abroad.
Sohini Rajola, Vice President of South Asia and India-China Region of Western Union, said that the positive thing is that the Indian youth understands the power of globalization and their trust in a better future is in mutual understanding and cooperation. The survey is based on input from more than 10,000 young people aged between 19 and 36 in 15 countries. There were also 844 youths in the country.
Most believe that the ideal world is where technology will be easy to live in one country and work in another country. There will be no obstruction on the basis of gender, religion, culture, and nationality and will be able to live, work and play anywhere in the world.
