Why books are future entertainment?
In today’s fast-paced world, it feels like everything is about quick entertainment. We have endless short videos, web series, and social media feeds. With all this happening, it’s easy to think that no one reads books anymore. But that’s not really true. In fact, looking towards 2030, books are all set to make a big comeback as a favourite form of entertainment in India.
So, why will this happen? Let’s break it down in simple terms.
First, people are getting tired of their screens. This is a big reason. Many of us spend the whole day looking at a phone or a laptop. This constant “digital noise” can make you feel stressed and tired. Because of this, more and more people are looking for a break—a “digital detox.” Books offer the perfect escape. When you read a book, you can switch off from the world and just focus on the story. It’s a peaceful and relaxing activity. So, reading a book is becoming a way to take care of your mental health.
Next, technology is actually helping books, not hurting them. Think about it. Audiobooks are becoming very popular in India. You can listen to a story while you are travelling in a bus or train, or even while doing house chores. This makes it easy to “read” even when you’re busy. Also, e-books mean you can carry hundreds of books on your phone. If you live in a small town where there are no big bookshops, you can still get the latest books instantly. Technology is making books more convenient for everyone.
Another important point is that there are more Indian stories now than ever before. In the old days, only a few big publishers decided which books got printed. But now, with self-publishing, anyone can write and publish their own book. This is great because we get to read stories from all parts of India, written by all kinds of people. You can find books about life in a small village, stories from different cultures, or even sci-fi novels written by Indian authors. This variety keeps things interesting and makes you want to read more. Plus, many Indian books are now being translated, so stories from languages like Tamil, Bengali, or Marathi are reaching a wider audience.
Finally, reading is becoming a community activity. It’s not just something you do alone anymore. Think of all the book clubs and literary festivals, like the Jaipur Literature Fest, where people come together to talk about books. On social media, you have “Bookstagrammers” and “BookTubers” who share their love for reading and give recommendations. This makes reading feel like a cool and fun hobby. You can join these communities, share your thoughts, and discover new books to read.
So, to sum it up, don’t believe anyone who says books are finished. The opposite is happening. People are searching for deeper, more meaningful entertainment, and books provide just that. With the help of technology and a growing number of Indian writers, books are becoming more exciting and accessible. By 2030, you’ll see that curling up with a good book—whether a physical copy, an e-book, or an audiobook—will be one of the best ways to relax and entertain yourself.
