The rapid growth of ‘Global Village’ has brought Indian society to a varied platform where the postmodern generation has lack of values. The biggest challenge that the Indian society is facing is the inculcation ofgood values to the ‘Port Modern Generation’. In today’s contemporary era which has been entitled as technology driven, where most of the values are being ingrained by electronic media and the internet is a reason enough for the lack of being in touch of human beings is eventually leading them towards the path of brutality and immorality. Terminologies which are related to value system have just become a subject to study such as: Moral and Spiritual Values, Indian Traditional Values, Socio-Cultural Values, Inter-Cultural values, human-values, cultural sensitivity, women empowerment, cultural pluralism, Stereotyping and Ethnocentrism. D.D. Vadekar (July 2002), while writing about Indian traditional values, has also given different perspectives which draw a fine line between values and technology. This Paper as the title suggests, deals with not only the challenges but also with remedieswhich are prevailing in postmodern Indian society and are damaging our value system.
