Defending India - the state of our affairs || Abhijit Iyer-Mitra 

@जय भोलेनाथ जय भोलेनाथ Yeah, let the Indian taxpayers fund the brown boys to go become part of white man's country.

@जय भोलेनाथ जय भोलेनाथ oh so what? How is that an excuse to waste tax-payers money? I bet if there was no reservation, all the upper middle class boys(which are the one who clear Advanced the most) will run to american the first moment they'll get. Reservation isn't the problem here.

@The Emerald tu ja goro ki chaat jaake shithole me ham log khush hai

Yeah XDXD

@@Anskurshaikh sad truth

I wouldn't be surprised if opposition to this talk came from BJP insiders. For shame.

Those 50 people who got in are very lucky

Its so sad that this video is having only 35k views.Shame. Every indian should watch this video & know wtf is up 😔😔

@@ak20107 Nope. It was the loser Left who can't handle facts

I wonder why 😂.

He is overstating things and hand picking the stats. His views on the stunted people of Bihar is not correct. Bihari people are quite healthy. They have cows in their home and they drink pure milk. Govt. doesn't have the real data on who owns how many cows or small farms. Govt. only keeps track of bigger dairy farms. So the data Abhijit is presenting is a reduced version. Poor people do exist in India. They mostly live in the tribal belts and in the slum areas. The rural population is usually well fed in general.

He is talking about traffic jams, food wastage in cold storage etc. The same happens at much larger scale in US and China. China has the highest traffic jam.

Indian engineers mostly work in Western companies, and they solve problems quite well. Abhijit is merely scaring the freshers. Freshers are same all over the world. Even the graduation topper from MIT, doens't become a coding ninja or the machine-man, on the very first day after his/her graduation. Engineering is something which you learn from other engineers - it can not be learnt at any university. What you can learn at the university is, how to do the Math. While doing the Math at university, you don't really need a live reactor before you. You can always imagine the reactor.

@@coolfreaks68 simple question. If Indians are equal to Westerners then we should have 1/6th of all engineers as indian, 1/6th of all doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, painters, everything. Instead we see one in a million Indians succed globally and try to borrow their accolades to feel better. Is that fair?

Don't be racist

@@debayanbasu8964 cherishing diversity is not racist dude

@@debayanbasu8964 How in the world is that racist? Is throwing buzzwords your only skill?

@@rawadosa90210 hasty Bengalis are always losers

Dude forget about "Economics & Related subjects(?)", they were not even aware of general knowledge terms or their meaning. Clearly it is not the fault of the students but this means India needs to re-assess what IIT's are producing. Interaction was not limited, there was a complete disconnect!

@@amitexo IIT Madras tutors replied to central Govt. authorities by saying that : " Our students are not capable or do not hold the proficiency to filter out the Cooum River....". It was published in the Hindu or Times of India around 2014 -15. Context : State/District Govt. requests/gives a project to IIT for employing their best Environmental / Civil Engineers to conceptually model a filtration system/construct for effectively removing effluents from the seriously poisoned Cooum waters. The reply was as above. Wordings may have been more but I put it concisely.

Hahaha 😂

That wouldn't work for blue collar manufacturing skills. We need more of those and more industries to hire those people as well.

government knows but they still want votes and so the marketing and p.r slogans will continue instead of concrete action.

Talking and giving advice is very easy, performing and governing are difficult. In governance one has to take all stake holders together, there are always conflicts within the democratic society. The democratic government always runs on balancing these conflicts. They cannot take any one side. If the goes populist the country goes bankrupt like Russia, Venezuela. If they drift towards right riches come in but the disparity increases. He is intelligent. Bada hua to kya hua Jaise ped khajur Naa rahi ko chhaya mile, fal laage atee dur.

BJP is a lame ass party which never learns and dont have much political acumen. Hindus and nationalistic folks are stuck with BJP as option.

Govt probably knows the situation better than this guy,he is gud but might not have all information, there are things that are confidential and. Secret, that need to be kept that way.

@@krishna_o15 Agree and the numbers/elections results also corroborate that don't they :D

@Invictus Maneo Yet another example of the kind of geniuses being produced. No sense of nuance or understanding the value of constructive criticism. You're entitled to your belief that the education system is perfect & producing the crème de la crème, but I am not of that opinion. So let's agree to disagree!

@Invictus Maneo Ughhh! Dude, seriously?! Get a life! Get laid or something ffs!

Yes the quality of iitians is reducing indeed

@Kim Evangela theyre only the few exceptions who made something great of themself, and thattoo they woudnt have known anything until they would have started working after graduating from iit. Plus, they are like the other causuals who have betrayed their country to satisfy themselves in the land of the whitey tighties.

I am an IITian and me and my friends are working on bringing state of the art technology to the world. Forming such a silly incorrect opinion over such a trivial thing is really dumb. As the lady said, so many of us are leading great companies. Arvind Krishna and Narayanmurthy graduated from my very own alma mater. The problem with India is all of us eventually move out to USA and only manure remains in this country. Still, you will find IAS officers and entrepreneurs in India are mostly IITians. Be worried for your own future and stop unnecessarily smarting over people who are much smarter than you. How can a mouse like yourself judge a giraffe?

Yr right

IIT is not known for it's "verbal skills" either. I have many colleagues who work there and studied there. "Verbal Skills" are downside even in EU , talking about Germany, France , Netherlands if you consider "English" as a mode. These nations have used their mother tongue as knowledge propagation medium which is easily understood. The main concept being : "Effectively relaying info. across is more important than "articulating" in a foreign tongue". People in EU while speaking in English by mistake and much often switch to their mother tongue owing to the accent and influx of their tongue into their English. Here internationals understand each other through "effective communication" - not English but the Subject. Language may be simplest but info. must be conveyed. It's time our nation understands that.

thats the problem. Hes a thinker and not a doer.

and u haven't brainless idiots

I love getting heads too😂

Thats for the preveledged ones like us to figure out!

@@hman8100 Actually , it's impossible to solve.

Sid dutta, hood he is educating them. Some comments here talking about they know it all but doing it is the problem.

I think he said Kharagpur... When he asked about nuclear reactor

IIT Kharagpur

Did you deliberately just see modi's faults and pointed it out ? Your congress was in power for more than BJP . MAXIMUM DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE BY CONGRESS.

@@RayRayM554 First off, the above was simply meant as "notes" for myself. I wanted to thoroughly study what was said in the video. But since now you mention it, just to be clear, I don't shill for congress and yeah they did maximum damage. But at the same time, that won't stop me from critiquing the shortcomings of the present government either.

@@tiffles3890 Gaurab more than anything we don't have a choice between BJP and opposition cause the opposition will destroy the country and civilization for votes and needs . BJP does same but do it on a lesser scale . If Arvind Kejriwal wanted he could say that Mughals and Delhi Sultanate had ravaged and destroy the lives of 100 millions of people destroyed our food supply and stunted the lives of Hindus .

@@tiffles3890 Well Gaurav if you comment on a RU-vid video , anyone who will read it will think of it as a comment. No one will think they were notes . But if they were , it's fine. It's the way it was written that mislead me as it will mislead anyone. Very few people write notes in a RU-vid comments section. Also you are right that we should criticise the current govt. As well. I agree with you 100% brother. We just misunderstood one another. 😊

@The Emerald indeed but Kuae mein pani hai , Khai mein moauth . We need the BJP till we can create new parties which will focus on tradition.

@Heat Ray Best thing anyone's every said. Thanks man/ma'am

Heat Ray Not a wise mindset at all. America is a country build by various groups of people who left their respective sinking ships and created a prosperous society. Ditto Canada, Australia, and New Zealand too to a certain extent. What use is your talent if it's frittered away in a place where it'll never be actualised?

Heat Ray In a sense that's precisely my point. There were many people and cultures throughout history who didn't fight or conquer or succeed in defending their interests and they're all gone now or severely weaken. It's horrible but that's just the way things are, have been and always will be. Indians can choose to waste away their potential and clearly exceptional talents in India or go and cultivate them somewhere else. Historical reality doesn't care about high minded ideals about 'sinking with the ship' just because it's 'your' ship. Either be ready to fix that ship using whatever underhand tactics are necessary (like LKY's 'benevolent dictatorship' that took Singapore from third world to first world in 30 years, Deng's selective enforcement of free market principles in China that uprooted the whole society but produced a 21st century power, the government subsidised westward expasion/colonisation/genocide of America that has produced a country with the most advantageous and powerful geography in history, or the unscrupulous Western/British expansion that has produced the modern largely in their image), do that, or fritter away with your ideals while another powerful outsider rules over the Hindus for the next few centuries. Or realise India's not going to become power because it's too big to be this poor and underdeveloped to be stable, and just leave. Apply your talents elsewhere.

Heat Ray If more humans throughout history had followed the advice you're following we wouldn't be where we are now in terms of advancements and expansion. They would have stayed where they were waiting for a hopeless situation to get better and working through a measly (non)opportunity, rather than finding and capitalising on better opportunities whereever they presented themselves. Imagine Elon Musk staying in South Africa or going back straight away after his visa ran out rather than taking the (legal) risk and overstaying in the US and capitalising on the particular opportunities compatible with his talents that are only available there and nowhere else right now. Consider who he is now and what he has done and the impact he'll have on world betterment before he dies, and who he might have become if he had stayed or gone back to South Africa. I'm sure a man like that would have done something worthwhile in South Africa but it would have been nothing to the order of what is only possible for someone of his talents to do in America at the moment. Ditto other historical figures. Einstein, Popper, Berlin, even Werner von Bruan (sic) to a certain extent. They all (and many many more - the list would be very long) chose the ship that floats and we're all better off for it in various fields.

Heat Ray If you don't understand it then let me spell it out: A sinking ship is a sinking ship and there's nothing noble in lost potential going down with the ship. The nomadic age is over, yes, but expansion and innovation will continue to happen for as long as humans are around, and in order to partake you need go where the opportunities are - wherever they are - and bend them to your will. Also, thanks for throwing that ad hominem in there.

so kids should be stunted?

there is more to this and its called socialism

Thanks for your comment! Background to the lecture: IIT Kharagpur had rescinded its permission at the 11th hour, due to a difference with Abhijit's views. The venue had to be shifted from a state-of-the art-auditorium (capacity: 2500) to a much smaller venue (capacity: 50). Yet, Abhijit stood with us through out the ordeal and was even prepared to deliver a talk "under a banyan tree". We acknowledge his support in ensuring we could hold the talk despite the opposition. We apologise for the drop in our production quality and promise to make up for it soon! Please check out our previous event with Adv. J. Sai Deepak on our event production: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cyKMlNFo88c.html

85 will still get us nowhere.

his economic ideas are too rightwing for me. But other than that I like him.

Problem in india is overcounting of peasant population in india. Majority of Indians depends on MSME sector for employment not agriculture as stats make you believe.

First 40 years it was ruled terribly by the corrupt and stupid Nehru elite

Well he clearly stated that it's a policy problem. 65% of electoral seats are in rural area. And they generate only 30% of total wealth in India. And 40% of electoral power is in cities and they generate 70% of G. D. P. And politicians only think about elections rather than policy efficiency. That's why we see lots of loan waiver for farmers but no permanent solution. Because that's how you make them dependent on themselves.

@@samvaadevents Well sir this presentation perfectly explain that what is wrong with policymakers of indian state. And why china grew and we didn't.

@Stratus He is half bengali u a**hole but most importantly he is an Indian first 😒

​@@OnkarShrmatrue

its quota and not kota. its because the politicians care more about votebank rather than country.

Venue was changed that's why sound problem is their.

Chutiya.

Nice trolling. Game recognise game

😂😂

if you can refute his data analysis with your analysis then there can be some merit to your argument, otherwise it's just another emotional reaction...Google se uthaya hone se sach toh nhi badlega na bhai...truth is truth irrespective of where its coming from...

😘

Lol

Keep dreaming baby! It's 2024 almost coming up!

Usi tarah jab English rule krrha h world m to aaj kayi desh English h even India M English h Avi take uske gulam desh ko chla the hai or sb m ek common h sb apni culture see or dharam ko follow krke superpower bna hai Islam to bna hi h apne dharam pe chal kr or aaage v super power isi tarah banega Islam

😂😂

BJP is Saffron Communist and Congress is left of left , therefore we are screwed .

What does that actually mean in practice. WHat practices do u want to abolish. We have abolished those things.

Sorry but all I am hearing is failure compensation.

@Live Stream TV Bro, just 20 years ago having a television, refrigerator, motorcycles, washing machine in a house was considered to be a luxury now every home has it. Except for some extremely poor households. So , things are not as dark as you think to be.

@@a_02_prakashnayak59 china is 6x richer than us. It is pretty dark.

@Chirag He raised some fundamental questions. He was not there to please your mind. He wanted answers from Problem solvers. Question is are you a problem solver?

@Chirag I see nothing wrong in being close with US. Subramanian Swamy also advocates the same and opines to shed the dependence of Russia, a relation of cold war relic and not based on wisdom. Coming back to topic, at times in problem solving asking the right question is the key and figuring out the solution is the job of a problem solver. It seems you are those 97% who depend on guide book for a ready made answers. I am not saying, I am a problem solver but do acknowledge valid questions but you seem to have lost your mind at not finding a ready made answer. Go attend a a feel good Shiv Khera motivation class.

How so?
