Swami Swaroopanand in March 2016 said, "There is an increasing
feeling of `detachment from faith’ among the Hindu youths as compared to
those of other religions. There is a need to include Hindu scriptures
in the curriculum of schools and colleges to prevent the long-term
mental degeneration of Hindus due to influence from anti-Hindu
propaganda that has its clutches deep into almost every socio-cultural
sphere of India. While `they’ have their religious schools to spread
fundamentalism, terrorism and hate preaching, we don’t have a medium to
reach out the Hindu youth about the richness and greatness of our
scriptures and cultural values. It's the central government’s
responsibility to ensure the traditions of this nation are preserved."
