Very true. Same here. It took me abhijit to figure out what exactly is wrong with india. I kind of knew what it was but abhijit worded it very meticulously.
I often wish I were as fit and athletic as I was in my College days some 15 years ago. But wishing for college days again would be stupid. That was a different era which has already passed. So is the case with Ram Rajya. Now is the time to look forward and aim for overall balanced personal development rather than just those fitness levels that I had some 15 years ago.

India has to improve its standards in all areas especially in education. India has to reduce corruption in all spheres. Then only India can take its deserved place in the world. After all Indians are one fifths of world population. Quality matters not quantity.
Instead of district collectors we should have a council of experts per district . Basically turn all districts into city states Only problem will be decision will take a lot of time but I hope at least the decisions will be better suited per district.
Calling Sanskrit old and rudimentary langauge and using example of 0 and 1 is such a false equivalence. Sanskrit has complex grammar, advance and huge literature and historical significance. Just because it is language of the past doesn't mean it was poor language. I like and respect Abhijit and I follow him but I don't think language and culture is his area of expertise. Yes you can blame government for focusing on sanskrit rather than doing development in other areas but why so be biased towards our culture and language? He gave examples of other civilizations where he stated China and Russia don't aspire to become dynasties of the past but at the same time China and Russia don't speak other cultures' language, don't change eating habits, don't distance themselves from where they came from. Indians have tendency to hate the culture and follow western civilization. I think government only wants to change this view of people and hence love towards sanskrit and ayurveda etc. Of course, glory of the past doesn't give us excuse to not doing anything in present.
Tell me in ONE area that INDIA holds number 1 position like Science Olympiad, Math Olympiad, In exports like high yielding commodities, or in Production of most sophisticated equipment etc., if in these areas India holds at least 5 th Rank one can expect that India may become one day a super power but it looks by the time India becomes the super power the world for all purpose would be at the end of its life.
It is true that we must see our global leadership in the future, not the past. But at the same time, we must not allow our (or the world's) past to be captured by the West. That'll allow them to claim total equity in our future too (regardless of our success/failure). That'll be the great & final defeat of our civilization - that they successfully forced us to abandon our roots & assimilate into the Euro-centric consensus. Our task hence, is two-fold - reclaim our historical heritage, while cultivating a fresh vision for the future (of ourselves AND the world at large). Neither is less important than the other. With a nation of 1.4 billion people, why can't we do both parallelly? Prioritize one over the other at your own peril.
@@hughjanus7176 If you don't understand the relationship between narratives of history & the contemporary power dynamic between geo-political actors (or choose to intentionally ignore it), of course you'll find "gaps in my logic". The solution is simple: Get a better grasp of reality or stop playing "dumb".
@@jojobabok9373 Causation is often multi-factorial, what you call a relationship may just be an accidental correlation. In fact narratives of history has very little to do with contemporary power dynamic. Look at Japan, it embraced its new image post WW2 and carved itself out to be a major global player, even though it had remained isolated all throughout history. History is important but for awareness of possible pitfalls, it cannot be a total guide to the future. If going ahead we need to shed aspects of our history when we are getting a better deal, we must be willing to do so.
Hyper specialisation is probably not the way around for bureaucracy. Have full political appointments instead. Keep a minimal bureaucracy to manage elections and IT. Let most citizen services be managed online and the workflow be managed by the bureau, but decision points should be political appointments. This is similar to the analyst and trader or analyst and agent combination.
With public loan waivers, getting sold and ready to vote any party just for the sake of one bottle/laptop etc, can never make a nation a super power. We know very well how our majority of politicians and bureaucrats are, these things will never let the nation to become super power. I agree that world had started looking India as a growing economy and not as land of just snake charmers.
Indians living in foreign now cursing we lack this we lack that i know we need to improve but this cannot happen going to foreign country to study and stay their.
Abhi, is it possible to give solution rather than just complaint. Like say IIT and IIM are sent to rural india. Say all agricultural engineering, management happens in rural india. Cheaper to set up. Similarly why do you need 400 acres for a medical college ? Also why this difference for minority and normal medical colleges in respect of capitation money and management quota seats.
I don't like saying this ...but what the hell I am "Capricorn" and we don't necessarily think our thoughts through during emotional situations. Anyways here it goes. India needs "Meiji Restoration"
For that we need a Meiji and the enlightened elite who are willing to scarface every thing don't forget most pioneer of the Meiji restoration end up getting killed and had to face several rebellion. Japan was a small country and Meiji restoration happens largely under an authoritarian rule not under democracy when your power is stable u can take radical decisions. Too much plurality and too much democracy is not a good thing .
@@aftabqureshi9741 ...well i being a lefty . I would state it's a messy thing. Not necessarily a bad or good thing. Certainly not the most ideal one. All it does is to make our society acceptable of all types of personalities and it's baggages. Meiji oligarchs even crushed rebellion. Do I want that.......? Certainly not ,but I do get your point.
@@keithhunt5328 there are people who live in the past they can only see what was good about these nations, But those who can see the trends know future is very bad & anyone going there now will suffer badly very soon
I think the first opening made by Abhijit is not entirely right. There is nothing wrong in actually, taking a leaf out of the hat from the past. We were the superpower( militarily, politically, culturally, economically) 33 percent GDP, manufacturing powerhouse( major exporter) etc. Getting the same template from the past,(work towards the future) the most important thing is in filling the template with current trends and details to achieve the goal in future.
I have to agree with AIM and AP with the problems with Indian society. Indians will need to introspect to create solutions. This can only be done by talking and criticizing current policies. The two areas to resolve is the Indian education system and focus on mertiocracy.
Rousseau was a French so he would obviously be unflattering towards west holy roman empire which as you point out was gothic . He was not an idiot he was being ethnically averse to Teutonic culture
There is plenty of things to improve in India 1 built more cities.In western countries more than 90 per cent of the population are living in cities 2 improve quality education not rote learning but education based on problem solving and critical thinking 3 better infrastructures 4 liberalize the economy. 5 improve agriculture 6 better water management
Actually I would like India to think beyond catching up. Many of the developed countries have policy mistakes which has created a set of modern problems. India can perform a generational leap by directly solving those problems. For example, building more densely populated cities is not a good idea. More environmentally sustainable and economically efficient living arrangements should be sought.
@@hkiajtaqks5253 Hi First of all India had not taken the rights steps like the russian or the chinese . In these countries there was a revolution in order ro erase the difference between the one who had the wealth and the needy Indian leaders could not take such hard policies.
@@hkiajtaqks5253 actually densely populated cities do less harm to environment as compared to suburbs. Like in a town in India, we have a bore(our own groundwater system), we can draw and throw as much water as we want, many of our neighbors have. But our relatives living in big cities have limited water, they can't waste that.
I think Indian regression coincided with the "Bhakti Movement". Forgetting oneself in the name of God became a fashion then. They woke up only when the invaders put them to the sword. Ironically they were intoxicated by the same God who went to war to save Dharma.
U failed to mention Gupta Empire,Mauryan EMPIRE,Kushan Empire,Satvahana empire,Karkota,Vardhana,Nanda,Kuru,Shisunga,etc. Empires were also Superpowers. Kushan and Gupta empires were far richer than ur roman empire
The Romans empire survived for centuries . There is no indian empire which has acheived that feat . There is a qualitative difference here. The closest anyone has come to the Roman Empire is the Mauryan empire and that too only for their first few kings . The people who started empires were great but their progenies destroyed everything.
@@primary5050 guptas survived for 2 centuries mauryas survived for 137 years guptas were much more richer and advance than romans in militrary and technology
@@rebel6676 the Gupta's were internally weak and there territory was not even half of what king Chandragupta Maurya conquered in his reign. Come on now . The mauryas got destroyed because of weak successors which led to lower standards , corruption , mismanagement which mostly began from the age of Ashoka . This is the same reason why the maratha empire declined. The foundations were built extremely solidly by Shivaji Maharaj and sambhaji maharaj but the weak , undeserving successors destroyed everything.
India should be a regional power, before aiming to become a superpower. Except in Bangladesh, India does not exert enough influence in neighbouring nations.

OF COURSE it makes me sad......but Abhijit is bang on target - Bhaarat will never become anything of consequence in my lifetime.
Which platform are you using for 1 to 1 session Abhinavji?
India has to improve its standards in all areas especially in education. India has to reduce corruption in all spheres. Then only India can take its deserved place in the world. After all Indians are one fifths of world population. Quality matters not quantity.
I think that Abhijit sir's audio quality was a bit bad today.
Instead of district collectors we should have a council of experts per district . Basically turn all districts into city states
Only problem will be decision will take a lot of time but I hope at least the decisions will be better suited per district.
I think we should give more power to centre. States should be weak.
Hey can someone tell me what is the fifth reform Abhijit iyer mitra said I coundnot hear it
Calling Sanskrit old and rudimentary langauge and using example of 0 and 1 is such a false equivalence. Sanskrit has complex grammar, advance and huge literature and historical significance. Just because it is language of the past doesn't mean it was poor language. I like and respect Abhijit and I follow him but I don't think language and culture is his area of expertise. Yes you can blame government for focusing on sanskrit rather than doing development in other areas but why so be biased towards our culture and language? He gave examples of other civilizations where he stated China and Russia don't aspire to become dynasties of the past but at the same time China and Russia don't speak other cultures' language, don't change eating habits, don't distance themselves from where they came from. Indians have tendency to hate the culture and follow western civilization. I think government only wants to change this view of people and hence love towards sanskrit and ayurveda etc. Of course, glory of the past doesn't give us excuse to not doing anything in present.
what a load of bs
👍
audio could be good,
Tell me in ONE area that INDIA holds number 1 position like Science Olympiad, Math Olympiad, In exports like high yielding commodities, or in Production of most sophisticated equipment etc., if in these areas India holds at least 5 th Rank one can expect that India may become one day a super power but it looks by the time India becomes the super power the world for all purpose would be at the end of its life.
Anglo Saxon King Harold Godwinson fought off Vikings THREE weeks not three days before facing William the conqueror at battle of Hastings
Indian Government should only focus on Law and Order, Judiciary, Military, and Foreign policy.
Finally someone talking about policies instead of feelings and religion 😂
Abhijit, can you give me fields of these data. Possibly I can do something.
do your thing right
It is true that we must see our global leadership in the future, not the past. But at the same time, we must not allow our (or the world's) past to be captured by the West. That'll allow them to claim total equity in our future too (regardless of our success/failure). That'll be the great & final defeat of our civilization - that they successfully forced us to abandon our roots & assimilate into the Euro-centric consensus.
Our task hence, is two-fold - reclaim our historical heritage, while cultivating a fresh vision for the future (of ourselves AND the world at large). Neither is less important than the other.
With a nation of 1.4 billion people, why can't we do both parallelly? Prioritize one over the other at your own peril.

@@hughjanus7176 If you don't understand the relationship between narratives of history & the contemporary power dynamic between geo-political actors (or choose to intentionally ignore it), of course you'll find "gaps in my logic".
The solution is simple: Get a better grasp of reality or stop playing "dumb".
@@jojobabok9373 Causation is often multi-factorial, what you call a relationship may just be an accidental correlation. In fact narratives of history has very little to do with contemporary power dynamic. Look at Japan, it embraced its new image post WW2 and carved itself out to be a major global player, even though it had remained isolated all throughout history. History is important but for awareness of possible pitfalls, it cannot be a total guide to the future. If going ahead we need to shed aspects of our history when we are getting a better deal, we must be willing to do so.
Could you plz have this interview in hindi,
8:10 he said light and light gone
Alexa maybe😂
Hyper specialisation is probably not the way around for bureaucracy. Have full political appointments instead. Keep a minimal bureaucracy to manage elections and IT. Let most citizen services be managed online and the workflow be managed by the bureau, but decision points should be political appointments. This is similar to the analyst and trader or analyst and agent combination.
In a dharmic society the question does not arise. All Teddy Roosevelt said was 'walk softly and carry a big stick',
Why??? India should take care of its people and should be a good neighbor to the neighboring countries!!!
Abhijit is one of the most erudite persons in India.
With public loan waivers, getting sold and ready to vote any party just for the sake of one bottle/laptop etc, can never make a nation a super power.
We know very well how our majority of politicians and bureaucrats are, these things will never let the nation to become super power.
I agree that world had started looking India as a growing economy and not as land of just snake charmers.
Indians living in foreign now cursing we lack this we lack that i know we need to improve but this cannot happen going to foreign country to study and stay their.
Forget about becoming a super power can india become a developed nation is the real question
Abhi, is it possible to give solution rather than just complaint. Like say IIT and IIM are sent to rural india. Say all agricultural engineering, management happens in rural india. Cheaper to set up. Similarly why do you need 400 acres for a medical college ? Also why this difference for minority and normal medical colleges in respect of capitation money and management quota seats.
I don't like saying this ...but what the hell I am "Capricorn" and we don't necessarily think our thoughts through during emotional situations.
Anyways here it goes.
India needs "Meiji Restoration"
For that we need a Meiji and the enlightened elite who are willing to scarface every thing don't forget most pioneer of the Meiji restoration end up getting killed and had to face several rebellion.
Japan was a small country and Meiji restoration happens largely under an authoritarian rule not under democracy when your power is stable u can take radical decisions.
Too much plurality and too much democracy is not a good thing .
@@aftabqureshi9741 ...well i being a lefty . I would state it's a messy thing.
Not necessarily a bad or good thing.
Certainly not the most ideal one.
All it does is to make our society acceptable of all types of personalities and it's baggages.
Meiji oligarchs even crushed rebellion.
Do I want that.......?
Certainly not ,but I do get your point.
India need one man rule like putin
We have fetishize language...oh god no!🤣🤣🤣.
I mean this is just gold man.
Whole pretext of this video to be summed up in one line is
Why can't India simply be like Germany England or USA
Those are the dream destinations of most indians so why not aim to recreate those at home?
@@keithhunt5328 there are people who live in the past they can only see what was good about these nations,
But those who can see the trends know future is very bad & anyone going there now will suffer badly very soon
Requesting Abhijit to get a better mic.
The title and Abhijit so answer is no.
I think the first opening made by Abhijit is not entirely right. There is nothing wrong in actually, taking a leaf out of the hat from the past. We were the superpower( militarily, politically, culturally, economically) 33 percent GDP, manufacturing powerhouse( major exporter) etc.
Getting the same template from the past,(work towards the future) the most important thing is in filling the template with current trends and details to achieve the goal in future.
Omg 😂stop hallucinating
Seriously India has to change the judiciary and beuracracy to do anything
Eye opening
7:26 I'll partly disagree; the karnataka vidhana saudha is a very beautiful building.
Talk about Suspicious attack on Indian Scientist.
I have to agree with AIM and AP with the problems with Indian society. Indians will need to introspect to create solutions. This can only be done by talking and criticizing current policies. The two areas to resolve is the Indian education system and focus on mertiocracy.
For that to happen gross discrimination eg. Casteism and gross income inequality has to be removed.
Rousseau was a French so he would obviously be unflattering towards west holy roman empire which as you point out was gothic .
He was not an idiot he was being ethnically averse to Teutonic culture
There is plenty of things to improve in India
1 built more cities.In western countries more than 90 per cent of the population are living in cities
2 improve quality education not rote learning but education based on problem solving and critical thinking
3 better infrastructures
4 liberalize the economy.
5 improve agriculture
6 better water management
Actually I would like India to think beyond catching up. Many of the developed countries have policy mistakes which has created a set of modern problems. India can perform a generational leap by directly solving those problems. For example, building more densely populated cities is not a good idea. More environmentally sustainable and economically efficient living arrangements should be sought.
@@hkiajtaqks5253
Hi
First of all India had not taken the rights steps like the russian or the chinese .
In these countries there was a revolution in order ro erase the difference between the one who had the wealth and the needy
Indian leaders could not take such hard policies.
@@hkiajtaqks5253 actually densely populated cities do less harm to environment as compared to suburbs. Like in a town in India, we have a bore(our own groundwater system), we can draw and throw as much water as we want, many of our neighbors have. But our relatives living in big cities have limited water, they can't waste that.

We need to remember our past and work for th future.Why are we so obsessed with Western culture?
I think Indian regression coincided with the "Bhakti Movement". Forgetting oneself in the name of God became a fashion then. They woke up only when the invaders put them to the sword. Ironically they were intoxicated by the same God who went to war to save Dharma.
Life is full of contradictions
U failed to mention Gupta Empire,Mauryan EMPIRE,Kushan Empire,Satvahana empire,Karkota,Vardhana,Nanda,Kuru,Shisunga,etc. Empires were also Superpowers. Kushan and Gupta empires were far richer than ur roman empire
The Romans empire survived for centuries . There is no indian empire which has acheived that feat . There is a qualitative difference here. The closest anyone has come to the Roman Empire is the Mauryan empire and that too only for their first few kings . The people who started empires were great but their progenies destroyed everything.
@@primary5050 guptas survived for 2 centuries mauryas survived for 137 years guptas were much more richer and advance than romans in militrary and technology
@@rebel6676 the Gupta's were internally weak and there territory was not even half of what king Chandragupta Maurya conquered in his reign. Come on now . The mauryas got destroyed because of weak successors which led to lower standards , corruption , mismanagement which mostly began from the age of Ashoka . This is the same reason why the maratha empire declined. The foundations were built extremely solidly by Shivaji Maharaj and sambhaji maharaj but the weak , undeserving successors destroyed everything.
And what happened after. It collapsed with Nothingness. Now that's called Failure.
And chola 🇮🇳🔥
India should be a regional power, before aiming to become a superpower. Except in Bangladesh, India does not exert enough influence in neighbouring nations.
