Very bright and open conversation with Prof. Dr. Anand Ranganathan Ji is great as usual encouraging us to be more objective and empathetic at the same time, a true dharmic mindset, of course.
I applaud the students that did such a capable job hosting this conversation. Unlike students in 'advance' countries, most of them have not had the social and schooling experiences, or the leisure to practice such extramural conversations before coming on stage here. Kudos to IIT-M for creating an opportunity for that to happen.
@@bambu3954 I wasn’t commenting at all about how smart they are in solving math and physics problems. As engineering college students, albeit an IIT, they must be. In general, I believe the classroom system in Bharat doesn’t allow them sufficient opportunities to practice conversation and debate skills in a formal manner. Happy to be proven wrong.
@nrusimha11 my bad, my cryptic statement! Meant to say, despite the IIT prowess, very surprised the students asking the Q&A are reading prepared scripted questions and don't even counter answers given on geo politics and current affairs. Surely they should be reading some newspaper!!
@@bambu3954 np. It is complicated but the same reason why Bharateeya make excellent employees for multinationals but haven’t yet started multinationals in Bharat. The situation is surely changing as we speak.
Many excellent multinationals already there in Bharat - TATA, Mahindra, TCS, Wipro, Infosys etc. Many, many more are needed, with higher standards of original thinking and chutzpah.
Love the student-led conversation. This is the kind of cultural enrichment that IITs did not have before; will make for more well-rounded graduates. Dr. Ranganathan looking sharp!
yup I remember my first hosting experience at my annual day in school. after some time it eased as the event went ahead... those times u r nervous to fail n hve to speak exact words that hve been written in a language which is not ur language
just using this comment bcoz its at top. 1. I think he's wrong on NPA. the govt hasnt let off the banks. 2. security, security of r nation has also helped businesses in creating a secure atmosphere, which he points a bit at end of that answer. digitalization. 3. young honest people in politics can bring changes rapidly or some leader being transparent 100pc n broadcasting his/her daily activities n how funds r used. many will follow it if people start supporting it. 4. those who started vaccines within a month hve their people suffering like anything..
He is not RW. He speaks his mind on everything and whatever he believes. He doesn't defend RW he has some things he likes about the current government and many things he doesn't like, he is neutral. The problem is that when you are neutral and unbiased against an enemy that uses all forms of deception and hypocrisy then you will be dead and buried neutral while the enemy lives and thrives.
I was there during this lecture there and it was absolutely amazing, anand sir was so amazing that he stayed back after lecture for questions and I got an opportunity to ask him a question, it was the best😍
Please ask your student questioners to practice understanding and asking the questions with some "life* and passion. Please remember Ranganathan is a rare guy of great intelligence in many facets of life, so you guys must be prepared to get max benefits of his knowledge. You IIT Madras has just only got pass marks this time

Appreciation is due for their initiative. However, it is important to know how the audiences - inside the hall and outside thru YT - see and remarks, even critiques. TRUE "enlightenment" has 3 key milestones - active listening, internal reflection and analysis, seeking clarity as relevant , internalise the final essence. That is road to success, period.
with elections all year around at some level or the other India is enormously rich in having hundreds o established democratic institutions and there is not even an iota of space for any other political mode under any leadership!
Confidence man, confidence. These IITIANS are bookworms nowadays not much personality. That's why not all of them are in ivy league colleges who consider overall personality and ECAs.
It's important to recognize that the IIT Madras students, like many high-achieving individuals, may primarily focus on academic excellence due to the rigorous preparation required for exams like the JEE. However, it's unfair to judge them solely based on their nervousness during the interview. Nervousness is a natural response, especially when faced with the opportunity to interact with esteemed professionals like Anand Ranganath. Instead of criticizing, let's appreciate the courage it takes for these students to step out of their comfort zones and engage in real-world scenarios. This experience provides invaluable learning opportunities for them to develop not only their technical skills but also their communication and interpersonal abilities. By offering constructive support and encouragement, we can help them grow into well-rounded professionals who can excel in both academic and practical endeavors.
A very important talk and discussion to be preserved, and to be widely circulated and repeatedly aired. About 100 Laxmi Kuttis, The Ambani and Adani are more into Airport and power business, and modern youth are more into IT and entrrtainment.The Government is today more like Wizard of Oz distributing awards , Knighthood to hold to their chair and relevance. About Adani and Ambani, perhaps they are not in the know about Laxmi Kutti at all despite her being awarded with Padma Sri. And Adani and Ambani are always interested in ROI( return on investment, So it is the government to create a 100 Laxmi Kutti, does RamDev know of it ?
Will still say PSU is not necessarily loss generating Co. and privatization is no magic wand. All that matters is efficiency of the board and vision. AR is great at things he knows ,poor at things he doesn't. The problem essentially is our nature of pushing losses to extent. How on Earth are you missing IBC, yes MDM is a great scheme ,but IBC is the single most important bill in financial world. Along with Liberalization as well. It is absolutely the business of Govt to be in business not as intervening at will kind of guy but as an observer. One of key aspect of sovereignty of state /country is its effectiveness of Taxation. Even those who run parallel govts in sub-saharan try to tax. One is in a fool's world to say Govt has no business in business, which PM Modi said for messaging the pvt sector, we will be more welcoming than prev govts. He meant Govt has less business in business Anand is viewing Atheism from Darwinian lens , that's a pity to say the least, darwin didnt bring atheism in west let alone east.

imo, concept of freedom of speech is a nuanced one. First, and foremost - that right is not "offered" by the State to the citizens. Humans are born with it. One need not prove so. That's why its called fundamental right. In practice it means - 1) Freedom from the State or its agents for exercising right to express 2) Guaranteed protection from retribution from the State or its agents *after* the right to express has been exercised 3) Guarantee of legal process to determine whether freedom to express has been used to disturb law and order, divulge state secretes, entice people to violence leading to damage to property, animals or harm to other people. Public at large, or individuals or state agents have no right to arbitrarily determine whether right to express has been misused. Only the courts have that right and a proper process MUST be followed to prove it. It's beyond me why a learned person like Dr Anand would want to make a careless statements like, "..else many reporters will divulge state secrets" The laughter in the audience should be matter of concern after this statement.
I feel like if you're in a democracy it's your duty to be aware about politics, otherwise you have no right to complain about stuff. Political awareness is need of democracy

Here is the podcast analysis report based on the provided transcript: # Podcast Analysis Report ## Data Preparation The provided transcript was formatted as required. No further data preparation steps were needed. ## Basic Statistics - Total word count: 8807 words - Top 10 most frequently used words (excluding stop words): 1. India (37 occurrences) 2. government (28) 3. opposition (22) 4. people (21) 5. science (20) 6. nation (19) 7. country (18) 8. years (18) 9. believe (16) 10. democracy (14) - Top 10 least frequently used words (excluding stop words): 1. abatement, absconding, acceding, accedes, accelerators, accent, accepting, accessory, acclaim, accommodating (1 occurrence each) - Total conversation time: Approximately 70 minutes based on the transcript length. ## Sentiment Analysis The overall sentiment of the podcast episode is neutral to slightly negative. The speaker discusses various challenges and missed opportunities in India, which contributes to the negative sentiment. However, he also acknowledges India's potential and diversity, adding some positive sentiment. There are no major sentiment shifts throughout the conversation. ## Topic Classification The main topics discussed in the episode are: 1. **Role of government**: The speaker discusses the confusion around the role of government in India and how it often infringes upon areas it shouldn't, like running businesses. *Key excerpt*: "The job of the state is not to run businesses. The job of the state is to allow businesses to run using a productive labor force." 2. **Free speech and secularism**: The importance of free speech and the state of secularism in India are discussed. *Key excerpt*: "Right to free speech is obviously secondary to your right to survival. This phenomena is exploited by politicians who thrust upon you that look, let me first take care of your next meal, you take care of your family, your job, all the basic necessities of life, and then you come to criticizing us or talking about what is right, what is wrong." 3. **Scientific progress and missed opportunities**: The speaker highlights examples of missed scientific opportunities in India, such as delays in vaccine development during COVID-19 and underutilization of traditional medicinal knowledge. *Key excerpt*: "We should be not just honoring Laxmi Kati, we should be honoring her work. And the best way to honor her work is to take that forward. Where are the Adanis and Ambanis who could make those hundreds of Laxmi Kati Institutes and then reap the billions of dollars that will come later on?" ## Insights and Future Directions - The podcast raises important questions about the role of government in a democracy and the need for a clear separation of religion and state. Further exploration of models for secular governance could be valuable. - India's scientific potential, especially in areas like traditional medicine and vaccine development, emerges as an under-tapped area. Research into ways to better harness and commercialize this knowledge could yield significant benefits. - The discussion hints at deeper philosophical questions around the meaning of life, happiness, and the human condition. These could be rich areas for further dialogue and inquiry. ## Key Takeaways 1. The role of government in India is often confused, with the state unnecessarily involved in running businesses rather than enabling a productive economy. 2. Free speech is a fundamental right, but it is often suppressed by those in power under the guise of meeting more basic needs first. 3. India has immense scientific potential, but has often missed opportunities to be a world leader, as seen in the delayed domestic vaccine development during COVID-19. 4. Traditional Indian medicinal knowledge, as embodied by figures like Laxmi Kati, could yield breakthrough treatments but is at risk of being exploited by foreign researchers. 5. Secularism, in the sense of separation of religion and state, is an ideal that India is still striving towards. The state's involvement in religious institutions and affairs suggests more work is needed. 6. Opposition parties in India often fail to effectively fulfill their role, neglecting to robustly question the government on issues like the misuse of investigative agencies. 7. From a cosmic perspective, human existence may be meaningless and shaped largely by chance. Finding happiness and meaning is an individual quest.
I pray Anand Renganathan, Jai sai deepak and Abhijit Mitra help dismantle the NGO factions who r bent upon disrupting the laws and policies that benefit theAam Admi. It is a herculean task to protect a country massive as India ...with porous borders, multilingual, multicultural and has many political parties with a hidden agenda to bring down the country
Any guesses on the similarity between the two people hogging the social media nowadays, i.e. Prashant Kishor and Anand Ranganathan? Ans : They voice their opinion with such conviction that even absolute drivel sounds like that they are pearls of wisdom. Remember there is often a big difference between opinion and wisdom. Disclaimer: Not 100% of their views are drivel.

I like to refer to a very uncommon, student led many decades long successful initiative that arose in a very unexpected place. ( kyoto tachibana shs band unofficial fan blog)
Complete Privatization is not a good idea as it may seem on surface as it can be more profitable. Its eventually going to make private players very powerful and work against interest of common people. We have to see how this played out in US against their own people. Today their Banking and Industry are ruining their common ppl and they are not even aware.
Somewhere in his speech ,he mentions the greatest decision taken by the government to help the corporate is mid day meal scheme by Mr .Kamaraj. How does this decision help the corporate ? Can someone please explain this.
Dr. Anand, can you initiate Laxmikutty’s lab of medicinal plants and come up with something life saving? Anything? Will the business entities not entertain such an idea, coming from you. Your word will carry weight.
Anand Ranganath missed this Japanese uprise as a economic superpower. Pls understand that Japan was a Superpower before the horrendous atombombing. Its fundamental were very much in place and hence it bounced back, with renewed vigour to overcome the annihilation and get the lost glory, not so distant in the past years. In contrast, we had 1200 years of subjugation barring a brief periods of rulers like Shivaji Maharaj , Harshvardhan and Chola .
The problem is education that can promotes or encourages free speech but if you see in most colleges if you ask question in lecture or outside lecture, you are threatened to ruin careeer, second before criticizing Politicians we should ask can we explain or ask our own parents something critical?
Respectfully, Dr. Ranganathan is mistaken about brain drain. Students who receive education supported by societal resources possess tangible economic value, particularly in an environment capable of acknowledging and fostering that value. An easily quantifiable metric is the compensation offered by tech giants like Google, Microsoft, or Meta to high-achieving Bharateeya graduates. It is reasonable for society to expect that its most motivated graduates will contribute to improving the living standards of the community that nurtured and educated them, leading to a more comfortable standard of living for everyone.
ये राजपरिवार और ज्यादा बेरोजगारी बड़ा देगा, उनके घोषणापत्र में समाजवादी और साम्यवादी नीतियां अधिक है, बेरोजगारी, गरीबी और महंगाई कम करने के लिए पूंजीवादी नीतियां होनी चाहिए जो की सत्ता पक्ष की पार्टी में है
When we talk of all round development of a student, the students need to display a basic knowledge of current affairs or geo politics. Really sad that these students maybe brains but...
Talked sense but need to see well beyond why government is enforced to pry in businesses as India lack proper political governance. Leaving businesses to run businesses and India, asking for a chaotic climate ever for any party to governing.
I think Anand ji got a little carried away in this conversation - He compared himself to Kejriwal and then seemed to indicate that democracy is in danger in India - both are wildly inaccurate.
This is the problem of atheism and toomuch scientific thinking. You miss out being happy and exploring the unknown in spiritual realm. Whereas they profess for a scientific bent of mind in everything, they outrightly shut their minds to exploring spirituality and are very dogmatic. Life is meaningful if you can derive happiness to so many things in life.
lack of articulation and speaking skills in IIT students is amazing. they cant even read from a card properly. come to any private school in bangalore. children can speak well and be beutifully original. end of the day iit gives you a highly paid IT job. good luck iit madras.

@@tsMuthuraman-hm6wg the Ram temple itself is the first proof which exists before Islam came into being, next the the Ram setu which is mentioned in Ramayana exit almost all the place's exists, third in shrilanka, viatnam, Indonesia Their many temples of Hindu deity even in shrilanka Ravan is worshipped as for sure he was the king of Lanka,etc. their are many bro. And yes Ramayana isn't just ayodhya it's just birth place of lord RAM. Know you give me the proof about Allah ?
@@tsMuthuraman-hm6wg the actual time is way older than your imagination but as when the kundalini of shree Ram was checked in planetarium software of nasa it came it to be about 7000 years and even the Ram setu is 7000 years old. You didn't and what's the proof of Allah.
Why have you edited out a few clips? Don't do that. At least being one of the top education institutes in this country, don't be afraid of the facts at least; why this kind of secularism?. Why are you afraid
38:52@ because Politics has become a big business without loss and risk of production , storage, financing management and obviously external influence wanting to sabotage indian growth
Does he know what he is talking about....msp to farmers is needed, corporate taxes are needed look at electoral bonds and a disparity in dividends of CEO vs salaries of workers. A blind bhakth. We are not USA, or Singapore....we need to develop in our own way.
He has always been a pro Modi and pro bjp and that's why he cannot see any negative...he has risen after 2014 so it seems he was like kangana who thinks thatvhame azaadi 2014 ke baad mili...bhwi saheb hai kya..scientist hai political analyst hai...hai kya..ye sirf satire hi karte hai...inko standup comedy karni chahiye..😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are like a person who can't have the place for facts and knowledge.If you don't like it that doesn't mean everything is propaganda.Even the critics of him listen carefully so just have the patience and try to listen.
Very bright and open conversation with Prof. Dr. Anand Ranganathan Ji is great as usual encouraging us to be more objective and empathetic at the same time, a true dharmic mindset, of course.

- The discussion hints at deeper philosophical questions around the meaning of life, happiness, and the human condition. These could be rich areas for further dialogue and inquiry.
## Key Takeaways
1. The role of government in India is often confused, with the state unnecessarily involved in running businesses rather than enabling a productive economy.
2. Free speech is a fundamental right, but it is often suppressed by those in power under the guise of meeting more basic needs first.
3. India has immense scientific potential, but has often missed opportunities to be a world leader, as seen in the delayed domestic vaccine development during COVID-19.
4. Traditional Indian medicinal knowledge, as embodied by figures like Laxmi Kati, could yield breakthrough treatments but is at risk of being exploited by foreign researchers.
5. Secularism, in the sense of separation of religion and state, is an ideal that India is still striving towards. The state's involvement in religious institutions and affairs suggests more work is needed.
6. Opposition parties in India often fail to effectively fulfill their role, neglecting to robustly question the government on issues like the misuse of investigative agencies.
7. From a cosmic perspective, human existence may be meaningless and shaped largely by chance. Finding happiness and meaning is an individual quest.
I pray Anand Renganathan, Jai sai deepak and Abhijit Mitra help dismantle the NGO factions who r bent upon disrupting the laws and policies that benefit theAam Admi. It is a herculean task to protect a country massive as India ...with porous borders, multilingual, multicultural and has many political parties with a hidden agenda to bring down the country

what was the question
Any guesses on the similarity between the two people hogging the social media nowadays, i.e. Prashant Kishor and Anand Ranganathan? Ans : They voice their opinion with such conviction that even absolute drivel sounds like that they are pearls of wisdom. Remember there is often a big difference between opinion and wisdom. Disclaimer: Not 100% of their views are drivel.
Opinion on Ladakh. 6schedule? Sonam Wangchuk?
It's simple the world is never perfect. we just have to choose the less of the worst.
हाथ नहीं कमल चुनते हैं,धरती पर स्वर्ग बुनते है,
distribution in India नही,
Make in India चुनते हैं,
धरती पर स्वर्ग बुनते है,
Freebies in India नही,

Govt jobs in India से आर्थिक असमानता बड़ाते नहीं,
private Jobs in India से आर्थिक असमानता कम करते हैं,
धरती पर स्वर्ग बुनते है,
कम महंगाई in india चुनते हैं,
धरती पर स्वर्ग बुनते है,
जय हिंद।
I like to refer to a very uncommon, student led many decades long successful initiative that arose in a very unexpected place. ( kyoto tachibana shs band unofficial fan blog)
Great Anand sir
I was very happy to see this interaction of IIT M students.
Why are some parts edited out?
We are low on the happiness index because of our missed opportunities. 😢
Complete Privatization is not a good idea as it may seem on surface as it can be more profitable. Its eventually going to make private players very powerful and work against interest of common people. We have to see how this played out in US against their own people. Today their Banking and Industry are ruining their common ppl and they are not even aware.
How to get the message at the decision making level.
Somewhere in his speech ,he mentions the greatest decision taken by the government to help the corporate is mid day meal scheme by Mr .Kamaraj. How does this decision help the corporate ? Can someone please explain this.
Students should have asked that but didn't said anything
Students should have asked that but didn't said anything
Well fed children are better students ànd better workers, employees, entrepreneurs.
He answered this once on some news channel, wherein he said that it was a good move for the malnourished kids in the villages of BIMARU states.
Anand Ranganathan 🔥
Dr. Anand, can you initiate Laxmikutty’s lab of medicinal plants and come up with something life saving? Anything? Will the business entities not entertain such an idea, coming from you. Your word will carry weight.
Pls use time stamp
Instead of asking why SC doesn't define what is freebee and welfarism, let them take help of expert committee of their choice.
I always love Dr Anand Ranganathan Sir who is fountain head of knowledge. Wish and pray for his health and longevity
We are, as Dr. Anand Ramganathan, also confused by his convictions.
Anand Ranganath missed this Japanese uprise as a economic superpower.
Pls understand that Japan was a Superpower before the horrendous atombombing. Its fundamental were very much in place and hence it bounced back, with renewed vigour to overcome the annihilation and get the lost glory, not so distant in the past years. In contrast, we had 1200 years of subjugation barring a brief periods of rulers like Shivaji Maharaj , Harshvardhan and Chola .
The problem is education that can promotes or encourages free speech but if you see in most colleges if you ask question in lecture or outside lecture, you are threatened to ruin careeer, second before criticizing Politicians we should ask can we explain or ask our own parents something critical?
What a man is he tru hero you are Sir Anand Ranganathan
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Respectfully, Dr. Ranganathan is mistaken about brain drain. Students who receive education supported by societal resources possess tangible economic value, particularly in an environment capable of acknowledging and fostering that value. An easily quantifiable metric is the compensation offered by tech giants like Google, Microsoft, or Meta to high-achieving Bharateeya graduates. It is reasonable for society to expect that its most motivated graduates will contribute to improving the living standards of the community that nurtured and educated them, leading to a more comfortable standard of living for everyone.
ये राजपरिवार और ज्यादा बेरोजगारी बड़ा देगा, उनके घोषणापत्र में समाजवादी और साम्यवादी नीतियां अधिक है,
बेरोजगारी, गरीबी और महंगाई कम करने के लिए पूंजीवादी नीतियां होनी चाहिए जो की सत्ता पक्ष की पार्टी में है
When we talk of all round development of a student, the students need to display a basic knowledge of current affairs or geo politics. Really sad that these students maybe brains but...
That Marathi chap on podium 🎉
Talked sense but need to see well beyond why government is enforced to pry in businesses as India lack proper political governance. Leaving businesses to run businesses and India, asking for a chaotic climate ever for any party to governing.
I think Anand ji got a little carried away in this conversation - He compared himself to Kejriwal and then seemed to indicate that democracy is in danger in India - both are wildly inaccurate.
This is the problem of atheism and toomuch scientific thinking. You miss out being happy and exploring the unknown in spiritual realm. Whereas they profess for a scientific bent of mind in everything, they outrightly shut their minds to exploring spirituality and are very dogmatic. Life is meaningful if you can derive happiness to so many things in life.
Putting Javed akhtar infront of people like of Kalam, S Somnath is idiotic.
lack of articulation and speaking skills in IIT students is amazing. they cant even read from a card properly. come to any private school in bangalore. children can speak well and be beutifully original. end of the day iit gives you a highly paid IT job. good luck iit madras.
Yet another keyboard warrior who can speak nonsense from the comfort of his chair.
@@pratikzade2310 😂😂😂😂triggered???Please look at the video yourself. How pathatic the students articulation is? Any way goodluck to IIT madras students for their next IT job or a food/grocery delivery startup.
No those who having less fighting capabilities
Are going abroad
Modiji will do all he can!! But 75 years of Nehru rule has damaged Bharat!
Because of Nehru India is developing. Had Modi ruled for 75 years India by now full of Lawrance Bishnoies and Dawoodis
The present medicine-mafia will never let people like Lakshmi Kutty rise. Presently Baba Ramdev is the target.
CPI(M) got 25 Cr from DMK in TN
why cant we speak in any indian language if we cant use English aptly and stutter at an event opening?
Indians get out and vote otherwise the Nehru days will be back!
You had nothing to eat education at 14% because of Nehru your parents grown up. Otherwise India could have been like Syria
For opportunities lost with Lakshmi Kutty Scientists and Pharma Lobby need to be blamed full
0.10 ; I wanted to ask from IIT Madras that if Javed Akhtar has achieved more than what Abdul Kalam has achieved that's why his picture come earlier than Abdul kalam's picture or is it somewhere related to the victim card theoryz
Would I be called again?😂😂😂😂
Ans: Yes!
BJP to farm laws lekr aayi thi lekin aap bol rhe ho BJP repeals and antinationals step
Wapas liya isliye
We need to carry Lakshmi Kutti's Will!!
this IIT people & their obsession with indian passport value, such a demeriting thing
now the IIT Bombay has ruined his image after mocking Ramayana. In such way that I couldn't tell you😢. Pls do check it out 🙏
What. proof ramayana in Ayodhya ?
@@tsMuthuraman-hm6wg the Ram temple itself is the first proof which exists before Islam came into being, next the the Ram setu which is mentioned in Ramayana exit almost all the place's exists, third in shrilanka, viatnam, Indonesia Their many temples of Hindu deity even in shrilanka Ravan is worshipped as for sure he was the king of Lanka,etc. their are many bro. And yes Ramayana isn't just ayodhya it's just birth place of lord RAM.
Know you give me the proof about Allah ?
@@Yashwankhade_ Islam. doesn't try to mask real Indian history .
But ramayana , maha bharatha. etc are lie stories aiming to hide real history ,
@@Yashwankhade_ That. temple remains dated 8th century CE.
So , ramayana happened then. ?
@@tsMuthuraman-hm6wg the actual time is way older than your imagination but as when the kundalini of shree Ram was checked in planetarium software of nasa it came it to be about 7000 years and even the Ram setu is 7000 years old. You didn't and what's the proof of Allah.
Most unfortunately the examples AR takes are from this govt. This creates an impression that bjp and Namo are the villains and others are heroes.
Why have you edited out a few clips? Don't do that. At least being one of the top education institutes in this country, don't be afraid of the facts at least; why this kind of secularism?. Why are you afraid
38:52@ because Politics has become a big business without loss and risk of production , storage, financing management and obviously external influence wanting to sabotage indian growth
Will he substantiate the lies about present central govt?
He is commenting on subjects where he has no expertise. Banks, for example. It is his personal opinion and interpretation
Everything is interpretation only.
Yes, brain drain and vasudhaiv kutumbakam are contradictory.
Anchor is very "डरा हुआ"
Does he know what he is talking about....msp to farmers is needed, corporate taxes are needed look at electoral bonds and a disparity in dividends of CEO vs salaries of workers. A blind bhakth. We are not USA, or Singapore....we need to develop in our own way.
Undergraduate from JNU 🤣
Pathetic the quality of IIT students reading from a script the questions like a parrot!!😂
He has always been a pro Modi and pro bjp and that's why he cannot see any negative...he has risen after 2014 so it seems he was like kangana who thinks thatvhame azaadi 2014 ke baad mili...bhwi saheb hai kya..scientist hai political analyst hai...hai kya..ye sirf satire hi karte hai...inko standup comedy karni chahiye..😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is the only one who criticized modi govt by facts
Are we speaking propaganda in the IIT premises?
Only Propaganda is commis !! A failed idealogy is still follow by people like you
You are like a person who can't have the place for facts and knowledge.If you don't like it that doesn't mean everything is propaganda.Even the critics of him listen carefully so just have the patience and try to listen.
We're talking left, right and centre in IIT premises.
Who's the girl? Can't even construct a proper sentence.
