This is a generation that finds several things about the family, religion and community stifling or plain silly. It wants to wipe the slate clean, but more importantly, its using art to strike back at the past and create a new future for itself. These art forms stand-up comedy, the rock song, the music video might have their origins in the West, but in a globalised world, knotted together by the World Wide Web, history is erased in an instant. What matters more is the speed at which ideas travel, are adapted to local purposes, put to work. The old walls are crumbling, and for the first time new ones are not taking their place. In China, globalisations sharp edge is blunted by censorship. For the inward-looking West, globalisation is more of a threat than an exciting new force our jobs are being taken away. But an unfettered and liberal India is breathlessly absorbing everything, all the influences the world has to offer. Young India is in gobble mode. The Butterfly Generation.
