Author(s) Dr Mukesh Ahuja

Abstract This paper explores the socialization process and its impact on youth in contemporary India, focusing on the multifaceted role of various agents, including family, education, media, peer groups, and institutions. It examines how youth navigate traditional and modern social structures, addressing key factors such as intergenerational value conflicts, educational disparities, digital media influences, mental health concerns, and socio-cultural discrimination. The research highlights the role of family, educational systems, and media in shaping youth identities and behaviours, while also exploring the challenges faced by marginalized groups. The paper further emphasizes the role of state and religious institutions in guiding youth through cultural norms, leadership, and civic engagement. It integrates quantitative data, such as participation rates in educational and youth development programs, internet usage statistics, and mental health prevalence among youth, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-cultural dynamics influencing youth socialization in India. The study concludes by stressing the need for inclusive policies to bridge educational gaps, support mental health, and foster positive social engagement among youth, ultimately ensuring a progressive and equitable future for India's youth population.
