- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- On 1967, 20 people who were born on 15th August 1947 were interviewed about their life and asked about their thoughts on India. As they turned 20, so did India.
India in Pixels has remixed the original video by the Films Division of India ( • I am 20 ) to bring a flashback of the history.
What were their thoughts? What dreams did they have for India? Check out this video for a glance into the past.

OKAY
These 20 year olds are really mature and clear minded.
Better than youngsters nowadays..
Stop watching TV and reduce your time on social media platforms. And you will see the difference. I haven't watched TV for a year and a half. The only social media platform I use is RUclips. I read . Have always read . My mind is much clearer than before. Honestly. Not watching TV made the biggest difference.

They Should Be Around 75 Now would like to Know their opinion now
Well, I think few of them didn't look like 20 considering in those days clever parents used to reduce their children's age for jobs. Nevertheless they had a lot of sense in what they are talking unlike the same age group today
Not just english , the people who spoke in hindi or regional language and accent also had a good command over their speech , a calmness and confidence in voice.
It is true for all countries actually. It is shocking how much of our linguistic abilities we have lost.
100% agree
@@wasay456soooo trueee 🥺🙏🏻🙌🏻
Absolutely 💯 right on that
Can you see my post? If yes, please respond by saying, "Yes, I can see!".
I am requesting you to do this because I am not getting Responses from many of my comments , that is why. I suspect something's wrong.
Please respond.
So refreshing to see that once upon a time, majority of the youth dreamt of a better future in India. Majority of the youth of today dream of a better future abroad.
we cannot all stay in india unfortunely but we do send back money and revenue. many of these in video are from great universities and they all went abroad
Because our country failed us
And there's no wrong in that. In foreign you get better living standards and there exists a concept of work-life balance unlike in India, where you get overworked for peanuts.
@@docilelikewintercatfish Exactly! Especially Bharatiya Joker Party cattle class UNEDUCATED COWS!😢

They were 20, yet, so articulate regardless of the language. The confidence and the conviction in their voices say a lot.

Yes, because they did not have Tik tok, insta, Facebook, not so smartphone, baadshah(ae garmi). All masala to turn the youth into an idiot and soft minded lot.

This whole documentary gave me goosebumps. The people are so well spoken and their command over the language is great.
In 1967, my grandfather was working as a labourer on Dams, Railway stations and Coal mines and he was building India. In 2021, I am a student of IIM Ahmedabad. Yes, India has progressed. I am proud of being an Indian and I love everything about my country.

@@sayanmondal1303 Typical edgy comment with no attempt to understand the depth of the original comment.
I had goosebumps editing this video :) Hope you also get the feeling I had while making this. It is humbling to see how our great country has evolved, slowly and steadily - few things are still the same, a lot has changed. This Independence day, ask yourself how are you contributing to India's story? As one of the speakers in the video says, it is very simple, you don't have to do anything extraordinary. Do what you are doing to the best of your ability, keep your surroundings clean, be strong and righteous, you will be helping India be great.
A very warm Independence day to all of us. Jai Hind.

We're you able to get any details about who those people are and where they are now? We should make an effort to get in touch with them.
I had too! couldn't put my eyes off.
This is probably the most unique video I have seen on RUclips. And considering how much I watch it , it's saying a lot. Great work. Thank you. I will download this video. 🇮🇳
I got goosebumps watching it, with all the hindsight of the intervening decades... I've never come across better national content on social media
Absolutely Brilliant, i wish we get back to what we were ideologically 55 years ago. simple and original.
i am shocked, this video has soo less views.

@@Ibeles That's what happens when the country doesn't take care of its bright youth and only corruption and dishonesty are rewarded. The way the country is being run now - with capitalists, religious fanatics and the top 1% dictating everything - it's no surprise that the educated young people want more.

What the factors they are in lower number and majority of today's youth is influenced by fashion nd trends influencer who are far away from such kind of noble vision.
"Frustation is a fashion today but deep inside every indian despite all this frustation , we are underestimating India, it has capacity to work. If all the people in this country who didn't fancy their prospects in it were allowed to quit, I think I would like to stay because it is something big, it is a huge experiment and I like to be a part of this."

Yes, the 20 year olds were so mature and forward looking. Jai Hind!
As a teenager i really hate how senior generation look at gen zs I can understand this generation gap can never be filled but just because of the social media where it's very easily accessible to watch cringe shit people assume large amount of teens are like that but it's not true I have seen lot of mature teenagers of my age who have enough sensibility towards thing ,more conscious about private as well as social life
Just because examples of partying and stuff comes forward people tend to ignore the youth intelligence and it's really sad
@@avaniumrikar6183 I'm not judging anyone I'm sorry if I offended you but reality is this generation sucks I'm sure there are sensible and mature teenagers are their around your age (for e.g me ) that part was totally correct 💯
@@avaniumrikar6183 Hey
I appreciate your honesty and feel with you.
I'm 32, youngest in my family, and still face this. Ageism has unfortunately played a huge role in society, always.
I'm fighting against Ageism and labels still.
That song by Billy Joel "We didn't start the fire"? It encapsulates what you're talking about from a very high level
From my side, I'm going to say, keep going. You're already amazing just for bringing this up. Keep going, fight with great sense
Man....this is our heritage....!!! Nobody talked about religion! It was all about excellence....better life...development....and pure love for nation!!!
One guy mentioned the concept of Dharma, but not from religiosity but from a point of debate. Cut to 2020, Sana Khan has started selling halal make up.
But religion is also our heritage.
Religion and bharat’s dharma are also its heritage. Bharat has been there for like more than 10,000 years. Our heritage is just not this. It’s longer than this. Pls respect the people who sacrificed for the protection of dharma. Be it guru Gobind singh or Marathas.
because nobody asked...for us, it's a personal thing, it's our connect with the divine, but then there are those leeches who divided the country into 3 pieces and are making organized attempts to do that further. People with a backbone will not let this happen and as a consequence, out of compulsion, will have to bring up religion as a politically relevant tool to form a govt and counter these leeches.
I hope that clarifies why religion is a central theme in today's politics and who should be held responsible.
@@thugdoge2107 Religion is our biggest heritage. To have the wisdom of vedas, The guidance of upnishads and the light of Puranas is not something to be taken lightly. We are the oldest surviving civilization who protected the Arya culture while everyone has lost their original identity. India is nothing without hindu dharma and hindu dharma is nothing without india. India will be just another piece of distant land for us like afghanistan if it was not hindu. We have a heritage and it is a great thing to be proud of
The one thing that I find very impressive, apart from their maturity and clarity, is their command over English. Grammatically correct and just the right vocabulary. No bad influence of American English.
They read books, not watched RUclips videos 😂
@@double_courage57😂
Couldn't agree more!
What is wrong with American English? There is no such thing as British or Indian English being superior to other types of English. Clear to see British colonial mindset is still in the mind of Indians that they discriminate against other types of English.

maybe I am wrong but being able to speak such fluent English speacially in the 60s is a pretty privilige. I wonder if much of these students belonged to the handful of upper strata of Indian society of that era.
What about the farmers , buddy? But yes most f them were well educated and many were from Calcutta.
My thoughts: English was taught by Britishers then ... thus the fluency....
Surely they are the privileged class as most of India was poor. But again you see so much of the British accent prevailing at that time. It is safe to say that I prefer that accent to what we have currently. It is sad to see that most students still cannot speak basic English. With BJP in power this will get worst as Hindi will be preferred in the near future.
I mean no hate but nowadays everyone is fluent in English than hindi/their vernacular language in our country. We ARE forgetting our own culture in the urbanisation of the society. Well, we can develop even if we use our own languages more often than English. I am ashamed to say that I am more comfortable in eng than my mother lang ;(
They were mostly from calcutta so...😅
The clarity and confidence they had in their voice is inspirational
People were a lot more comfortable in their skin back then. They seem so sure and confident about everything.
Yes they looked like they had a lot of substance...
Yea, maybe cause social media at that time.

The so seemingly uneducated boys are speaking more crystal clear Hindi than today's generation and they seem much wise and kind than their generation and today's generation as well. Kudos to them!!
The most interesting part of this is how diverse each and everyone's dreams, habits, ambitions, lifestyle are. This gives us a big picture of how unique and diverse our great country is. We have come a long way from this, but the things that give me goosebumps are some of the things they talked about that are still relevant to this date.

It is so amazing to see people back then when they were my age talk with so much maturity and sophistication. They talk and articulate their ideas so well and it is so interesting to see that the ideas being discussed then are still the ideas being discussed today, just in different scenarios. After watching this, I can't help but feel like our generation will end up disappointing them and their vision that they talked so passionately with hope glistening in their eyes. It was a great video that gave me a lot to think about.
The guy with specs in hands/last one in the frame, I would love to know more about him- where is he now and what became of him! And if he is alive, then listen to his views on India of 21st century. Such balanced views. Hopeful for tomorrow, however considerate of the precarious scenario of his times. He was far ahead of his age for sure. Immense respect to him.
Of course he would be alive. Pretty sure he must be in the US. I do not think they had a future in India. My aunt was born in 1947 and is still going great. Just completed her 50th wedding anniversary last week.

He is TN Subramanian. He earned his Phd and became an Associate professor in Math at Oakland university. He then went on to be the Chief Architect at RouteOne, a car insurance selling platform.
While these accomplishments are great, they fall well short of what I had hoped he would achieve. He has so much conviction in his beliefs and articulated them so well. I wonder what happened.
@@VinodKumar-xc9kx thanks for this info. I was genuinely curious.
The fact that no one mentioned religion while talking about everything is exactly the reason why India ia where it is.
Yes, it could have been in a much better place, but still it has achieved a lot because of the mindset that religion has no role when it's about country.
Religion is just your personal Private Matter for your personal well-being not a political agenda to grab power...
I hope we can keep religion private when it's about country.
Ur understanding is very superficial . There are theocracies that are progressive. Sweden is governed by Church. Atheist communist states are a total failure. You have a very narrow , wrong Nehruvian idea of everything. What religion you are talking about belongs to 5% people. 95% Hindus at least find no contradiction or enmity between religion and democracy and science. All the elements of so called revolution in society can well be traced to religion and culture also if you read things in detail.
And it was Congress that MADE no code bills for muslims and there is ZERO separation of radical Islam from politics and society in Islamic countries and even in muslims of India. It was Rajiv Gandhi who overturned the 1986 Supreme court secular decision to uphold women rights to allow Mullahs to take decision. It is the Mullas and Imams that are hindrance to separation of secular life from Islam. To some extent even the pastors
Seperatiion of faith from society is seen maximum among Hindus. Take Halaal meat for example. It is religious thing shoved down the throat of people of other faiths that too in secular democracy
India was partitioned on the basis of religion itself . Or else after British left both Hindus and Muslims cud have existed peacefully.
@@jasminepal8945 I think u are Bong. So history and common sense is not expected. Partition was done by the British , but initiated by the Islamic leaders of UP like Jinnah. He ordered direct action day causing blood shed of Hindus. For them anyone who is in majority is "oppressive" so that they can use this oppression victim minority card to oppress others as directed in the scriptures.

@@jasminepal8945 if I am racist , I learned it from you. There is a racist concept of "Bhodrolok" in West Bengal , which means evolved and superior humans who mock people from North Bengal as being primitive .
Anyways , no Islamic country is a democracy. Bangladesh is a sham democracy. Hindus and Sikhs are targeted unrelentingly. There are only 3 Hindu temples in entire middle East , that is more than the size of India , which has 3 lakh mosques. This is not a pattern , but a law. That the faith doesn't treat minorities as equals and hates democracy..

Damn. This makes me feel that every young generation has had such a zeal towards contributing to the country’s growth. They also dreamt the same way we used to dream about how we can make difference in the world around. Superb video!

We have progressed a lot from 16 percent literacy literacy in 1951 to 74 percent literacy in 2019.
Our people are holding High posts in MNC's.
Our Space Agency is making milestones in meagre budget. But on the other hand we have lot to do on some aspects like poverty, Health sector , Agriculture fields etc.

As someone whose 20 years old right now, I can't put into words how I felt after watching this video, a weird sense of familiarity with the speakers yet a clear distinction, what have we done, where are we now.
Loved this video from Bangladesh🇧🇩. May be 20 years later I will come back to this video again. Surprisingly I will find my comment.
These then young Indians' brains were not spoilt by Tiktok, Bollywood, Social Media and Games....No wonder they sound so mature and intellectual at tender age of 20!

I had goosebumps throughout. This video basically is in very much sync with the present. It depicts the various kinds of people in our country. Most of them are very optimistic and want to work towards making a better future for our country but there are also some who like to focus more on problems rather than the solution. If this video doesn't arouse your nationalism, i don't know what will.
Very well worded.

The boldness and the way they articulate every single thought is just astonishing to see people must learn from the past !
Wish i were a part of India back then... So peaceful it all looks , how simple lives used to be .. where we are now , is just a race .
Well, it looks peaceful in the video, I am sure we in India are far more resourceful than previous generations. Like the present, the past also had its problems.

My grandfather was 105 when he died in 2015. Throughout his life, he was known for his charity and his people centric attitude. He was a sarpanch. I graduated from IIIT BH in 2021 and I think we have really come very far. Is it even more distant than we thought we’d? Yes. Is it enough and shall we be complacent? Definitely No. India and Indians have a long way to go and we need to keep marching forward with a pace unbeknownst to Mankind because it’s high time that the world knows our true capabilities and how Indians look when they get serious about anything. Jai Hind. Bharat Mata ki Jai.

I felt motivating for how I can change myself in future, But looking in the past is impacting on a different level..
Thanks for such motivation❤

You can't compare whole generation through just small bunch of people(best bunch of people to add on it) as most those were from iit Bombay, 20 of 2021 are still doing wonderful things, every other day new startups are getting launched, many of them get unicorn status every year

Very inconsiderate of you to generalise a generation just that easily..yes they had to face hardships but so do we...probably different from them..we all are really trying our best..you shouldn't really hate yourself that much.
"Our achievement is that we have hopeful tomorrow, but our failure is that today is very precarious" hit me hard
The one thing common with all these voices..the boldness and innocence in them drips of freedom. India will always be the quintessential experiment of this world. We are a strong nation. Invaluable clip.
This is gold and brought tears to my eye. Every individual had such a strong command on their language and speech. I can keep listening this in a loop. I am not sure what influenced the next 50 years. Though, we have developed as a nation, we lost the innocence. Socially, I hope we can bring that innocence again.

These 20 year old people seems more mature, well mannered, educated with a lot of enthusiasm and aspirations in their life to serve their country and live a better life. we being the young generation should learn from them. It was really a golden time and generation.

The last words from that young man is a lesson for every one of us!!!!!
"If all the people in this country who didn't fancy their prospects in it were allowed to quit, I think I would like to stay because it is something big, it is a huge experiment and I like to be a part of this" .... Probably one of the best inspirational quote. This one line is enough for people to stay in this country, leave out all the frustrations and politics, and just work for the country, for its people
Why should we leave politics out. Yes we are where we are inspite of politics. Politics should be the target for most of 3rd generation educated hopefully well-off middle class people( others too with strategies to improve our lives).
i hope the man is alive and well today.

That person left India and settled in the USA.
Yeah, and he in fact didn't stay. He's a US citizen now.
The clarity of thought and confidence in their voice of those youngsters is absolutely amazing! And the reason I believe is.. then education was exclusive and people took it very very seriously. Nowadays it's cheap and widely available which is a very good thing, but people take it for granted. A larger portion of the population has become ignorant, arrogant, conservative and lazy. All they do is get into a rat race and become an unskilled labour and then boast about their education which is not useful at all.
