I m an Engr, and never really felt the need or the respect for Humanities, as always happens with Science Students. But fir some time now, having been listening to lectures by Gurumurty, S Swamy, R Malhotra, also a few others, i have seriously started the feel to under anthropology as a subject. Thus is a revelation to me, having spent a life in STEM. I m still not a fan of liberal arts streams but ur lectures have roused interest! Thank you! Both of u!
true. its same with sadus and sanyasis who could anything but looked at the land and understood that we have to fight oppressors, invaders and they fought, killed, won and got killed. Same way we need to focus on humanities and reclaim our narrative for bharath
A nations mindset is what makes it great. Human capital is the greatest asset to a civilization. Getting rid of this disease of inferiority complex will solve most major problems of our country. And that’s why we so severely need reform in our education system and academia.
Dear Abhijit! I agree 100% I have been trying to include Indian psychological concepts in the curriculum of DU and other liberal programs! Prof Girishwar Mishra and Prof Paranjape are the stalwarts. But I am the minuscule minority.
@@hehe7294 yes Theoretical issues in Psychology : Meeting of East and West by AC Pranjape. Self and Identity by same Author. Google Prof Girishwar Misra For several books on Trends in Indian Psychology! Co authored several text books
@@Dekanalini hi, I actually work in consumer research but often end up applying sociology and ethnographic research techniques in my day to day work. Would you say this would be applicable?
@@ron_ron9024 Consumer research techniques are primarily quantitative. But interviews and content analysis is useful, I don’t know if qualitative techniques are useful. Ethnographic uses grounded theory, narrative and thematic analysis. Please refer to Dr Rama Bijapurkar for research in your area
@@MrLee-gj2jz If you name it such, we know how many people are going to take it seriously. You can have the same gist, but naming needs to be sounding woke or modern to draw the 'intellegentia.'
@@roman5782, I get your point. However, wokes would not mind as long as India is ranked poorly on any index. Even if there was a Dharmic Index, India may not be ranked very high.
Carlos' surname is Ghosn and pronounced as "Goan', because he is a lebanese christian (not a Hussain) whose family migrated to Brazil - as many other Lebanese Christians did. He was heading Renault-Nissan when he was imprisoned in Japan.
Remind me is it the same Ashoka University which make chutiya of their own students for full one year by bringing nidhi razdan as harvard professor in each and every programme of their University...
Simply Brilliant analysis. Somehow lack of live audience makes this much better , (No Iyengar, no takla discussion). Analysis of KK Africa thesis was superb
Wrong, he is the perfect antidote to Miranda who should be the ideal product of institutes like Ashoka University. Abhijit is what you ideally know as an anti-snob.
@@tjena5772 No. I have been following him for a long time now. I have seen his interview with Vinamre Kasanna. He is an elite and a snob. He is a RW snob. He just hates the 3rd rate low IQ leftists masquerading as intellectuals. Abhijit and Miranda both loves what they do and they are proud of themselves. And I LOVE MIRANDA.
@@sritamamanna5796 You’ve an interesting view point. I agree with your assessment of Abhijit’s attitude towards leftists which I support. However your take on Miranda Priestly’s character could lead to some differences with mine. Let’s keep that aside and stick to Abhijit.
The ability of English language to confound the non English speaking, especially the Indians, is amazing. Just use a lot of esoteric words from tge lexicon to build complex sounding sentences with zero net meaning and you could impress Indians to death. Just look at Shashi Tharoor...that man is a Macauleyputra with no proper analytic abilities and yet he impresses with his accented English.
Nice discussion. I beg to differ just on one point.. Ashoka has granted me a 65% of financial aid (scholarship) just on the basis of a letter I wrote explaining bad financial situation of my family... My friend received 100% scholarship on all costs including hostel. So that system is not all that bad. And I can't agree more on the 'Indic' point in the end!!!!
Ha ha what hindu resugerence some people screaming on twitter. There is no hindu resugerence BJP victory is only due to socialist populist policy we are not seeing any coherent improvement in academia as well as we arr losing narrative in GEN Z which is becoming woke day by day
First let me ask, how many of us actually follow the Sanatan dharma? Has anyone of us touched a dimension or is striving to toucb a dimension that is non physical in nature? If not then we are neither Hindu or Bhartiya. We are just clueless.
Every group in India claims exclusive identity. But the fact of the matter is every state or language group is united in corruption and mediocrity. Real values are integrity, honesty and hard work. Real culture is not what you wear and what you eat.
I am sorry there are aspects of Bhanu pratap Ji I do Question , particularly the attitude towards RSS, CAA! Ashoka does not teach Indian studies in Psychology! Teaching Vedant or Sankhya or Aurobindo? Why
@@veerswami7175 Please read Integral psychology of Aurobindo or Theoretical psychology by Paranjape! We have an enormous amount of work being done by Indian psychologists, that the Pvt universities like Ashoka will not include in the curriculum. Why!
@@Mayank612722 What made him unpopular majorly is the fact that he was drawing enormous salary in a country which puts work and morality above materials pleasures.
This is a generational issue and requires years of efforts. It's impossible to get it done in a matter of five or ten years, more so when it's done by the government whose every step is opposed vehemently. We are taking baby steps though.
Humanities studies are highly developed and continuing to evolve in the Western universities and they have provided new models of social development, with emphasis on race relations, minority issues, gender studies and what have you. We have been aping the same theories, concepts etc over the last few decades. The main question to ask is : Can Bharat evolve its own Humanities studies with our own vast Dharmic literature as a starting point? The general impression created by Left-Liberals is that our texts are regressive and an impediment to social evolution. Is that the case? Can we prove otherwise? Also, the Western model is obsessed with individual liberties and put individual rights at the top. That whole notion can be and should be challenged. Individual rights can often run at cross purposes to family and community rights. The result has been the widespread destruction of the family as an institution. The same thing is beginning to happen in India as the effects of teaching the Western models of social studies take firm roots in Indian society....
Another good discussion.. I don't know anything about humanities but same model of victim oppressor narrative can't be apply directly from West because u go just outside ur doorstep u know that in india might is right model work very well..
There are more books on Indian history written in ANY ONE of German, Russian, Japanese, OR Korean than in ALL Indian languages put together. I have never found a single book or article, other than what is cited as a primary source, in any Indian language in the bibliography of any book or article on Indian history that I have read or browsed.
Read a report that said in O P Jindal they conducted a course in South Asian History jointly with Lahore University, and that Teesta Setalvad taught a course on hate crime. So what was the goal, objectivity or diversity or extremity?
Some times I think that abhijeet is just talking shit in some topics just like the Indic things though I completely agree with him what he said about ASHOKA University
India's education system is a factory producing job seeking PhD's/MBA's/ - not job creators. Job creators (Public Sector/Crony capitalist companies excluded) . are knowledge seekers.
We already have more IITs and IIMs that we should. When we start mass producing anything, the aspiration at best can be maintenance of standards and not excellence.
It would be a good idea to have a program on Ph.d. Thesis of Kanhiya Kumar as also of Khalid Omar. Let us all know the contents of the work done by these brilliant scholars over some 7-8 years to earn Ph.d. from JNU! One (crazy) idea would be to abolish Social Science Stream completely (except economics) from all public universities at Masters and Ph.d. level. There could be Centers of Excellence in specific areas funded by the government. We can save lot of funds which can go for research in science.
Hi Abhijit, have hear about 3 of your editorials ... honestly I get lost in the colour language used. I agree on some points ... but the same points can be made without belittling them.
it is very unreal to build to make 1 iit per constituency, but we can surely empower and raise the quality of platforms like swayam or nptel to get wider reach of quality education.
Our fighters like su30mki last year , helicopters always are crashed ..reports suggests that china is using its laser weapons..is that correct Abhinab ???
Indic is not quackery... but it is one of the ways for Indians to separate a leftist or Abhahamic point of view. If you call it Hindu, the world will clamp down on it crying secularism khatre mein hai. Its a code for identifying left or western bias. Today if I call Yoga Indic, all schools will allow it. If I call it Hindu, no one will allow it. If I call it ancient medidation technique, the history and ancestory of yoga will be diluted.
Blind marks are important to escape the subjugation of the leftists ..the professors are the paper setters and they would recognise hand writing even in UGC exams also.
He - the speaker - started out well but eventually he moved into very unsubstantiated arguments about Swamy and Mahalanobis. That an economy approaches a higher consumption steady state after a higher initial allocation towards capital goods is the foundation out of MI traps. Not just in the West but also in the East.
I know I am writing this very late But A PhD scholar should be given proper amount of money to do primary on field research if he or she does adequate amounts of Library Research online/offline with proper quality.

By cutting the waste. Like Tobacco board. Minstries for Agri should be enough. Why so many? 50% IAS can be dismissed with no impact. Financing FTII, ISSR or whatever
@@anandvaidya67 good idea but do we need to have supreme courts in every district. Wouldnt a multistory within Existing building and 50% more judges being promoted should be good. Any benefit by cutting waste should either be spent on R&D or giving relief to taxpayers
@@rudys3649 We can start with one SC bench in each state capital, also 2/3 of the 2-3 crore (20-30 million) cases are related to property disputes. So gov could change some laws such as compulsary nomination for property, financial assets , or make nominees final beneficiaries. Many reforms can be brought in to ease citizen woes. But I guess opposition is on a witch hunt and gov is busy in PR & Marketing rather than deep, meaningful everyday-problem reforms
Humanities is like that chap in Ayn Rand's book that has a Rearden of Rearden Steel, is a union chap, does no work, yet ensures nothing proceeds towards improving production efficiency, greater production, profits etc
The term Indic I've heard most from Jai Sai Deepak litigator practicing in SC n nope he isn't passing off BS in the name of Indic civilization n Indic culture... I haven't seen others who use this....
How can you, Abhinav! say that earlier Sanskritisation etc such concept were original...sorry..they were so much well influenced by the modernisation and acculturation. The same concept pasted here too. Today ..I totally agree with AIM. But I agree with you Abhinav, that in JNU they mock people oppose them...My guess was right you too r from JNU...:)
