Assuming the basic student attitude in IIT Kharagpur hasn't changed much in 35 years, most students are not interested in politics. Most incorrectly associate such topics with that. Not that that's good, but the audience for such events were often not representative of the mainstream IITians. Arguably, it has been to the detriment of the country that the IITians were too complacent or too focused on their own careers. At the same time, there's an argument for the students at a technical institution to be genuinely interested in technical matters. Avijit Iyer-Mitra is great. Subramaniam Swamy made a somewhat similar speech there around 1984, arguing for well educated people joining political parties. IIT, Kharagpur, B.Tech 1986.
First step to solving a problem is recognising there is one, these are our harsh reality, earlier we understand, use creativity, innovation and extreme hardwork our future can be very bright given sheer size of young people, this is our challenge of the century, no more running away from them, we must accept it, harder the problem bigger the win for our generation. Everyone do your bit, information is at our finger tips, train, this is our war, lifting ourselves out of poverty.
@Stratus What about you? Where you from? You want to know where people of dissenting opinion are from, so that you can pontificate, stereotype. Do you have courage to tell where you are from?
lilsuppa z Thats next most businessmen in west r college drop out Microsoft, Apple ,,, Heavy ends of Govt policy, Babus harassment, heavy taxes , poor infrastructure killing risk taking behavior, new business startup
I gave it the same thought, i am an st and my father earns well BUT HOW ? Because he got a chance because of reservation. He is the first in his family earning this much, and supposedly i am going to be the second generation. We need at least 4 generations of well earning st and SCs to let go of the social prejudices because if you are rich you give less fucks about the society.
Implementation of Law is the first step, almost none of the laws are implemented properly. We have a fundamental issue in implementing anything then we can talk about other things
I once again “bow down” to Iyer’s both “In-depth & Broad Spectrum Knowledge”. HinduMatha is very proud of her son-one among very few. All students remember to “speak out. Loud about Iyer at important places and people. Jai Hind from USA
I would have liked to see students communicate fluently in their mother tongues with Abhijeet getting the translations on audio and students getting it back in their mother tongues. This English has killed our response abilities. Abhijit is hard hitting....
Where are you gonna buy the tech to translate all these languages into each other? From Israel? or are you gonna develop it yourself? Or are you gonna expect everybody to know all languages?
@@Primus_suspectus I think his statement is more deep rooted. When English is not the first language/mother tongue, a person is thinking in a different language and responding in another. This creates hindrance in one's learning and understanding. This issue also pertains to people who's mother tongue is not English but has studied in English medium throughout but speaks another language at home or with friends and does not have extensive reading in English apart from educational books.
@@FreeYourImagination You can keep giving excuses and some crazy theories for not putting enough time and effort to learn (any) language properly. English is just an example. It could be Bengali for all I care.

I see in the comments section... Many are pouring there love and respect to Abhijit.... That's good he deserves it but we should do our own research... Abhijit was wrong in predicting Talibans victory in Afghanistan...
Very good insight and Frank knowledge sharing session by Abhijit Iyer Mitra ji. I believe indian culture was having that previously but in this western based global setup may be people may not realise it. The 4 varna was having a population distribution of 1:2:3:4 and the education was invested just focusing on the 1 to show as a solution, then keeping a check on economics that was to be managed by the 3rd group. A natural balance of knowledge: security: economy: labour was done and the spread of fruits of all three was balanced, is my opinion. And lastly, I liked what Abhijit ji says that, he wishes to be proven wrong - I too wish that comes true, so these depressing truths become somehow solved and we get some light at the end of the tunnel soon rather than cont. in this vicious circle.
@@vinayakzanjad7894 Compare India's agri sector to others. Agriculture is now itself industrialized.

@@vinayakzanjad7894 thats my point. subsistence farming is very bad in productivity. You need to industrialize the farming sector and that means most farmers will have to sell off their land so that it can be consolidated and scaled up with industrial equipment to boost farming productivity

It would be great if Abhijit Iyer can list books and courses which every indian should read to leave socialist and communist minded and understand capitalism
Simple , even Abhijit has not left socialism . Socialism is one problem , another is the lack of quality . Many Capitalist and socialist countries have industrialized and have brought strong Law and order . Where is the Law and Order and industrialization in India ? We are bad at both socialism and capitalism . If we were to take a record and properly survey and collect information as per modern statistical methods created post 1980s , you'll realize , we have lost close to 120 million people in last 70 years due to malnutrition , political violence , rioting , improper infrastructure and internal conflicts . Much worse than any capitalist or socialist nation . Where India failed and where most socialist nations fail is not capitalism , it always follows law and order and industrialization . Where have we industrialized where have we got law and order . Socialism is a just the outcome disease like Pneumonia . Lack of Law and Order , Lack of industrialization is the real AIDS . This AIDS is permanent in nature . Only few people have been cured from AIDS and few countries have . Look at Taiwan , Singapore , Japan , Germany , France , USA , Vietnam and South Korea have all achieved it . Us achieving this will be a miracle .
You didn't listen well. The fact that we are not investing in education means there is a lack of highly specialized force in every sector. Technocrats can't perform in things where you need social sciences expertise.
