That girl explaining India in 1967 is still so relevant in 2023!!! Long queues of people for ration/buses, people hanging from local trains, selling of tickets in black
Today there's plenty of food available on the open market ... in 1967 we teacher trainees at our hostel had to queue up for a small cup of sugar which was our week's supply ! Many things were far better back then ... I could wear whatever I wanted without being tormented for wearing so called " Western Dress " and felt very safe !😊😊
Damn how am I watching this so late? The guy who said I don’t have any love for the country. Imagine saying that today, people would beat him up calling him anti national.

To all the people commenting about the good English and that they must be the cream layer of the country, I would like to tell that my grandfather was a clerk at a Fertilizer company. He was among those who have studied in the lights of lantern and used to work in fields after work or study. He is from a small village in Bihar, and still when I sometimes discover any thing written by him or read by him they are in english. And my mother used to tell me that he could really write and speak english very well(though in his school it started from class 5th). So I think it is because of the preference given to English in those times(due to British influence) that they speak so well.
I agree. I hear the same about my great-grandfather. There must be some truth to how English was given preference and so a lot of people knew how to speak the language. . It's the same with the Koreans. A lot of older gen folks can speak fluent Japanese, because they were ruled by Japan.
If you could also pay attention to the vocabulary, it is so rich. I've had the chance to see some books from my grandfather's time ; The quality is unrivalled be it in terms of speech, clarity, vocabulary, ideas.. Something we don't see a lot these days

This has to be the one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. The direction, editing, photography; everything is so perfectly done. I would have never expected such quality from an old documentary.
Film makers in those days were highly influenced by HOLLYWOOD in the crafts of Editing, Cinematography, Direction. Film makers today don't concentrate on the crafts rather they concentrate on the MASS Entertainment.
Wow! Not only were they fluent in their speech and delivery, but they also seemed to have minds that were even more advanced than those of modern India. Their outlooks and goals for the country and themselves are so inquiring and even upbeat. Their determination to face obstacles in life soars from the video and into our hearts. Well done, and Jai Hind.
It is funny how these people speak better than the people of today.. English is much better than most 20 years olds.. Even those who say they aren't educated speak so well, with respect and dignity even when they aren't happy about a lot of things..
That's a fallacy. These select group of individuals the film crew selected for the documentary does not reflect the rest of the nation. You can still find, in fact a lot more, such people now with the increase of educational facilities and the internet.
This documentary is a masterpiece. Never expected the youngsters of those days to be so open and confident in their thoughts and their voices. Especially the articulation of youth, it is wonderful. Perhaps it was the rub off effect of our great leaders of that time or may be our education system was doing a better job at that time. It was actually educating rather than only making them literate.
Dis education doesn’t come from books but from life. A life where dey struggled more Dan our generation. A life which was all about playing with others and outside gaining experiences instead of playing on phones or watching tv.
I am 38 and some months now, yes, born in 83’. I really loved those days of our nations culture, being religious & being sanskari, and everything else. I was huge fan of our nation’s movies, our dialogues, our songs were made with feelings in them, they had emotions in them, but now, it has all become natak without emotions & feelings, I hate todays BULLYWOOD, worthless to even watch trailers of them. Nowadays everything seems fake. I really miss those days, those people. I miss that era of humanity…😔😔
Although i am just 17 ,but i also somehow have same view like yours. When ever i watch my parent's old photos ,i always have feeling of going to that period of time ,basically pre India before 2005. I always think how much nation used to love bollywood back then hearing stories from my mum. And also want to see sachin bat in the 90s and how he held together the whole nation.
So confident, so open, beautiful thoughts and hopes and so much of belief in the country. Strong Youth, this video must be nationally telecasted to show the present generation, how much of determination, perseverance, resilient and agility the youth represented. I am just amazed and stunned by our older generation. A salute to them !
The quality of documentary making, ideas, public speaking, thinking that was found in those days is sadly missing from programmes these days. Kudos to films division to carefully preserve and make available these gems from the past.
why is no such films not made anymore!! These are gems and the reflection of the extremes shown in single film. I would say make more such contents in today's time as well
I was 18 in 1967.I’m feeling so proud to see & hear these young educated people, full of dreams, and that certain ‘drive’ we had those days. The drive to do something.As the bengali boy said, not to feel proud of Pataudi’s century, but to achieve something on your own. Exactly! We felt free in our minds,truly.The power was in our minds- not in material goodies, of which we felt deprived but soldiered on. That was a Nehruvian gift: although pretty ‘deprived’ materially,we felt truly free to think for ourselves/ express ourselves. Something I miss today.. I find the young sadly conformist today.(with some exceptions as always). And of course we spoke far better than English those days. There were convents even in smaller centres like Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, etc, where we got an all-round education.We didn’t come from wealthy families- just middle class. Education was not expensive The ‘English’ spoken today makes me groan in pain.The English language has been ruined by ‘managementese’… management’lish’.I felt happy to watch this documentary..to come across people like me… forward looking, bold, happy & smiling. We liked to sing, dance, read,take part in cultural activities.
It’s still so sad to hear when u say education is all about speaking English. 😢 even if I go by ur idea, language is self evolving. We don’t speak like u, u don’t speak like Shakespeare. So y Der is comparison of speaking better English.
TN Subramaniam (Taruvai, Thirunelveli Neelakantan) spoke brilliantly. Wonder what led him to leave to the US for prospects than be a part of India experiment he talked about.
Those youngsters had real freedom. They had there own opinions. They talked what they had experienced. Today's youngsters are influenced by garbage content in social media. We lost our ability of critical thinking.
I discovered this gold on 21st March, 2022. I think, We have very good future ahead. I am 22 year old. I am appearing for UPSC this year. Good Luck My Fellow Indian. Let's make India Shine again.
My grandmother was 20 during this year 1967 so I could see this generation quite clearly. My grandmother has written numerous poems in punjabi about the the 65' war, indo pak relations, about her father and the society. And when I look at myself and I ask myself that what have I achieved just read some books nothing more. I wish I was born back then that era was slow paced but it had that sincerity. Maybe I'll do something better as I'm 19 not much time has slipped. How foolish of me to say that last line.
You're motivated, humble & realized person. Keep that up :) you've achieved not many at my age have. In the future when you feel demotivated for any reason, read your own comment to push yourself. Good luck buddy :) And I really hope things change for better for next generations.
What a great documentary. People were thinkers and real . We have lost India to tik tokers today , adding fake filters to their Instagram life for 5 mins of instant gratification. Hope we get our JC Bose and Vishweshwaraih back
Our real growth started in 1991 after economic liberalization, just take a look at our poverty rate, per capita income etc. you will see that things took a dramatic turn after that
"....a question of not to what the country can do for you as much as you can do for the country, of course frustration is in fashion today but I think deep within every indian despite all this frustration we are underestimating him/her, he/she has a capacity to work." still makes very much sense, despite all the things from the past, India has made progress in almost every sector and now we are not only competing with developed countries but also leading many works that were someday led by the big nations, though it was great to hear opinions and the lifestyle of youth of that time. Jai Hind
I wonder when we reach 100 years of Independence how relevant the words of these people will still hold true. The opinions and ambitions of these young people from 50 years ago still hold true today in 2022, with almost similar problems being faced. Maybe with even more disharmony among our population than before. I wonder if there will ever come a time when we can genuinely unitedly say we have overcome the barriers of progression.
This video is a masterpiece. It lets you travel the past and feel what the people in it are expressing. It's unimaginable that this was shot on 1967. Such a gem❤
I want to say how beautiful is this documentary and the fact that although India was robbed of its culture it's wealth and ofcourse it's independence.......the youth at that still was hopeful about India as it's best...
I love how this content has been presented those days were pure gold I know why! the confidence in the voice and the people with smartest brains Nowadays world is a pure rubbish i dont where the youth is going. I can guarantee if you compare today's 20 year old and them they're far way better off....
Well to compare the youth at that time did not have much resources but was still much more mature and aware than today's who have abundance of resources. Also to note that how beautiful are they in their simplicity!!😍
Wow. This is so insightful. For some reason I can still resonate things which the 20 years old felt in 1967 , in 2023. Progress is 100% there. But these things they are still very alive. How to say it but it is what it is.
I can see how our youth has similar foundational opinions and values even this day. The only difference, we are not as candid and forthright in our opinions. We try so hard to make it look unique. Even if someone aspires something very basic like joining the civil services, they will have an essay on how unique their choice is.
My father was 22 years old in 1967... I could see his optimistic thoughts about our nation of that generation, who are not so blessed with the resources we have today... who provided me with a good education with whatever he had, did the optimum best for me...
I am going to be 20 in a few months, and I can clearly see how hardworking and determined they were❤. All I see today from my generation is Instagram, Snapchat and Reels... 😔 There are so many other things in life to worry about!!!
That’s so true but at least you feel that way and accept the truth. Social Media has changed the way we see the world in a bad way and it’s the harsh truth. People are only pretentious and don’t really care about any values and principles. Our Vedas were the source of great learning but it’s so sad nowhere that is being taught in our schools or educational institutions. I hope people understand that more and we can progress towards a more peaceful and cultured society.
2:03 such a astonishing voice and that boy in the starting is a free and a very intelligent thinker would have loved to have a chat with him share and exchange some thoughts about our country ❤️❤️
I'm the Indian who is accusing the country for its slow infrastructure and the cringe behaviour of the youth. If I was in the film I would had said that if i were given the opportunity or to earn the opportunity to leave the country I would have definitely leave And i strongly stand for this These people from the urban areas answers satisfied me
I Am 20 I Will Serve My Country I Will Feed As Many As I Can I Will A Part Of India's Diplomacy I Will Engineer / Design Solutions to impove Quality Of Life I Will Be Consciously Alive I Will Be Remembered After My Death I Will Change The World I Will Design The Magnificent I Will to die Like The PM Atal Bihari Vajpaye When I Will Die Whole World Cry I Will Die With Satisfaction India Is Changing At a Speed Which No One Can't Imagine and No Ons Can Stop It And Yes I Am Integral Part Of India and We Are In A Big Experiment I assure My Self When I Will Die Whole World Would a great place to Live
One can see the disparity. That's the one thing constant. It was there 70 years ago. It still exists now. Our government has given education to the population, but has not tackled the basic ignorance.
Its a masterpiece❤..my father must be just a 8yr old kid then...the people really had a progressive approach towards life....we have progressed alot as we celebrate 77th year of our Independence.
Amazing documentary....you really feel connected with the generation to their dreams , aspirations & requirements. Hope they all achieved whatever they wanted to.. thanks for sharing

I was huge fan of our nation’s movies, our dialogues, our songs were made with feelings in them, they had emotions in them, but now, it has all become natak without emotions & feelings, I hate todays BULLYWOOD, worthless to even watch trailers of them. Nowadays everything seems fake. I really miss those days, those people. I miss that era of humanity…😔😔
Although i am just 17 ,but i also somehow have same view like yours. When ever i watch my parent's old photos ,i always have feeling of going to that period of time ,basically pre India before 2005.
I always think how much nation used to love bollywood back then hearing stories from my mum.
And also want to see sachin bat in the 90s and how he held together the whole nation.
So confident, so open, beautiful thoughts and hopes and so much of belief in the country.
Strong Youth, this video must be nationally telecasted to show the present generation, how much of determination, perseverance, resilient and agility the youth represented.
I am just amazed and stunned by our older generation. A salute to them !
The confidence with which they are talking and fluency in english, they are definitely much better than 20s of right now
The quality of documentary making, ideas, public speaking, thinking that was found in those days is sadly missing from programmes these days. Kudos to films division to carefully preserve and make available these gems from the past.
3:27 is that guy on the right is our current pm narendra modi???
That village girl ...
"Us time me bhi itne confidance ke sath answer de rahi thi" .
That's amazing.🙏
why is no such films not made anymore!!
These are gems and the reflection of the extremes shown in single film.
I would say make more such contents in today's time as well
because shastryji is something else.
You'll find such similar youth interviews here on YT. Filmmakers nowadays are too busy making cringy item movies
I believe and surprised to see that youngsters were no different back in then than today. They were the same!
They were much better and clear minded than today's youngsters who are busy on Tiktok and Instagram.
@@fazayal83 more than half of the children back then never made it to youth
After seeing we realised how responsible and mature the Young's when it compares with us❤
I was 18 in 1967.I’m feeling so proud to see & hear these young educated people, full of dreams, and that certain ‘drive’ we had those days. The drive to do something.As the bengali boy said, not to feel proud of Pataudi’s century, but to achieve something on your own. Exactly! We felt free in our minds,truly.The power was in our minds- not in material goodies, of which we felt deprived but soldiered on. That was a Nehruvian gift: although pretty ‘deprived’ materially,we felt truly free to think for ourselves/ express ourselves. Something I miss today.. I find the young sadly conformist today.(with some exceptions as always). And of course we spoke far better than English those days. There were convents even in smaller centres like Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, etc, where we got an all-round education.We didn’t come from wealthy families- just middle class. Education was not expensive The ‘English’ spoken today makes me groan in pain.The English language has been ruined by ‘managementese’… management’lish’.I felt happy to watch this documentary..to come across people like me… forward looking, bold, happy & smiling. We liked to sing, dance, read,take part in cultural activities.
You spoke the British English in your times. Today American English is in fashion.
@@kdjoshi726 so ?? What's the point ??
It’s still so sad to hear when u say education is all about speaking English. 😢 even if I go by ur idea, language is self evolving. We don’t speak like u, u don’t speak like Shakespeare. So y Der is comparison of speaking better English.
Thank you for letting us realise how backwards in terms of thought process have we gone
TN Subramaniam (Taruvai, Thirunelveli Neelakantan) spoke brilliantly. Wonder what led him to leave to the US for prospects than be a part of India experiment he talked about.
Is their any later video of his ?
@@highlightsportal8907 ruclips.net/video/AICnH7QYmvM/видео.html
It was probably his love for mathematics.
I think that was a wise decision. Maybe his Maths Research Paper can help whole humanity ( including India ), someday.
He was just 20 year old?
Maybe his opinion changed when he grew up
It's an eye opener for people like us who just have heard about being poor, the thought of people are more or less the same with 90's kids
Those youngsters had real freedom. They had there own opinions. They talked what they had experienced. Today's youngsters are influenced by garbage content in social media. We lost our ability of critical thinking.
As a youngster I agree 👍
I discovered this gold on 21st March, 2022. I think, We have very good future ahead. I am 22 year old. I am appearing for UPSC this year. Good Luck My Fellow Indian. Let's make India Shine again.
My grandmother was 20 during this year 1967 so I could see this generation quite clearly. My grandmother has written numerous poems in punjabi about the the 65' war, indo pak relations, about her father and the society. And when I look at myself and I ask myself that what have I achieved just read some books nothing more. I wish I was born back then that era was slow paced but it had that sincerity. Maybe I'll do something better as I'm 19 not much time has slipped. How foolish of me to say that last line.
You're motivated, humble & realized person. Keep that up :) you've achieved not many at my age have. In the future when you feel demotivated for any reason, read your own comment to push yourself. Good luck buddy :) And I really hope things change for better for next generations.
Wow! So inspiring. Try to put her poems out. It would be wonderful.
What a great documentary. People were thinkers and real .
We have lost India to tik tokers today , adding fake filters to their Instagram life for 5 mins of instant gratification.
Hope we get our JC Bose and Vishweshwaraih back
Such an amazing documentry. As someone in their 20s I don't think I will be able to talk with so much clarity.
extraordinary documentary , but as a nation , India has made real progress until 1991.
Yes after 1991 more aggressively .but slight development started from 1980's .
Our real growth started in 1991 after economic liberalization, just take a look at our poverty rate, per capita income etc. you will see that things took a dramatic turn after that
8:06 what a voice,confident,clarity in his speak. great to see such pesonalities.
12:54 summarise .Everything still applicable today...Great video .Thanks for sharing
This is one of the most beautiful films, I have seen from India. Pure Gold.
"....a question of not to what the country can do for you as much as you can do for the country, of course frustration is in fashion today but I think deep within every indian despite all this frustration we are underestimating him/her, he/she has a capacity to work."
still makes very much sense, despite all the things from the past, India has made progress in almost every sector and now we are not only competing with developed countries but also leading many works that were someday led by the big nations, though it was great to hear opinions and the lifestyle of youth of that time. Jai Hind
I discovered him tonight on 3rd Jan 2020 simply blew my mind seeing this.
me on 30 jan 2022 believe me its just een 30 jan and time is 00:00
10:10 he was spitting facts.
16:33 best!!
I turned 20 this month, this is very thought provoking to watch
Came from INDIA IN PIXELS channel. ❤️
I don't understand, why this is not viral video. Every Indian should watch this.
Because every indian don't understand english
They are busy watching cringe roasting videos which contain nothing but abusive words
20 year olds at that time were intelligent articulate.
These days youths spoiled by vocabulary and culture of bollywood.
This is such a phenomenal documentary
Feels like i am breathing the air of that era
I wonder when we reach 100 years of Independence how relevant the words of these people will still hold true. The opinions and ambitions of these young people from 50 years ago still hold true today in 2022, with almost similar problems being faced. Maybe with even more disharmony among our population than before. I wonder if there will ever come a time when we can genuinely unitedly say we have overcome the barriers of progression.
This video is a masterpiece. It lets you travel the past and feel what the people in it are expressing.
It's unimaginable that this was shot on 1967. Such a gem❤
I really liked the guy at 5:32 he was so polite and handsome too. I really wanted to know where and how is he 🥺
I want to say how beautiful is this documentary and the fact that although India was robbed of its culture it's wealth and ofcourse it's independence.......the youth at that still was hopeful about India as it's best...
They were right... India hasn't really changed much. We did developed in certain fields but some of the problems we face are still the same
so much young educated youth were there , having there own ideas and not influenced by someone especially the one in he first
I love how this content has been presented those days were pure gold I know why! the confidence in the voice and the people with smartest brains
Nowadays world is a pure rubbish i dont where the youth is going. I can guarantee if you compare today's 20 year old and them they're far way better off....
Well to compare the youth at that time did not have much resources but was still much more mature and aware than today's who have abundance of resources. Also to note that how beautiful are they in their simplicity!!😍
If you are watching this in 2023 you find something good.❤❤
Wow. This is so insightful.
For some reason I can still resonate things which the 20 years old felt in 1967 , in 2023.
Progress is 100% there.
But these things they are still very alive.
How to say it but it is what it is.
I can see how our youth has similar foundational opinions and values even this day. The only difference, we are not as candid and forthright in our opinions. We try so hard to make it look unique. Even if someone aspires something very basic like joining the civil services, they will have an essay on how unique their choice is.
My father was 22 years old in 1967... I could see his optimistic thoughts about our nation of that generation, who are not so blessed with the resources we have today... who provided me with a good education with whatever he had, did the optimum best for me...
Editing and the idea of this content "mind blowing"
Such clarity of thought back in 1967!
I am going to be 20 in a few months, and I can clearly see how hardworking and determined they were❤. All I see today from my generation is Instagram, Snapchat and Reels... 😔
There are so many other things in life to worry about!!!
Hope you will be dedicated in your 20's unlike most of us.👍🏻
That’s so true but at least you feel that way and accept the truth. Social Media has changed the way we see the world in a bad way and it’s the harsh truth. People are only pretentious and don’t really care about any values and principles. Our Vedas were the source of great learning but it’s so sad nowhere that is being taught in our schools or educational institutions. I hope people understand that more and we can progress towards a more peaceful and cultured society.
2:03 such a astonishing voice and that boy in the starting is a free and a very intelligent thinker would have loved to have a chat with him share and exchange some thoughts about our country ❤️❤️
I should have known better by the Beatles from a hard day's night. Very popular at that time.
Youngsters back then were more clearly honest and blunt in their opinion.
Flabbergasted 😳😲.. I'm so dumb .. never felt this real before ... Kudos to you folks.. this must be played in schools
I'm the Indian who is accusing the country for its slow infrastructure and the cringe behaviour of the youth.
If I was in the film
I would had said that if i were given the opportunity or to earn the opportunity to leave the country
I would have definitely leave
And i strongly stand for this
These people from the urban areas answers satisfied
me
I m here after a reddit post.This documentary is a gem in obscurity.
Which reddit channel bro?
16:08 such good picture quality😊 and such fluent English......
And yes I agree with them who are hopeful about the future of the country❤❤
I Am 20
I Will Serve My Country
I Will Feed As Many As I Can
I Will A Part Of India's Diplomacy
I Will Engineer / Design Solutions to impove Quality Of Life
I Will Be Consciously Alive
I Will Be Remembered After My Death
I Will Change The World
I Will Design The Magnificent
I Will to die Like The PM Atal Bihari Vajpaye
When I Will Die Whole World Cry
I Will Die With Satisfaction
India Is Changing At a Speed Which No One Can't Imagine and No Ons Can Stop It
And Yes I Am Integral Part Of India and We Are In A Big Experiment
I assure My Self When I Will Die Whole World Would a great place to Live
Even the criticism was told with innocence and genuinity.
Where are they now? Should be the sequel for this fantastic documentary
Very nice documentary 1967 ma 20 kaa thaa now all they are at the age off 75 or above 75 👍👍👍👍
This is gold! Generations will thank you!
Last generation who knew what freedom meant....All of them have Honesty and Humbleness....
One can see the disparity. That's the one thing constant. It was there 70 years ago. It still exists now. Our government has given education to the population, but has not tackled the basic ignorance.
The guy with specs in his hand .. what a brilliant and logical person
here from the article in MINT thanks a lot for telling us about it a great insight in that era...only if there was more of it
Unbelievable documentary. I am stunned how today’s generation has changed so much with no regards for the country’s!
Back then they were so ambitious and real now we have influencers.
7:01 this guy is like average Indian guy of this time (8-dec-21)
Indeed😂
Go back and hear when he says he doesn't want to go and show off his nationalism, so called Nationalists could call him anti national 😬
Its a masterpiece❤..my father must be just a 8yr old kid then...the people really had a progressive approach towards life....we have progressed alot as we celebrate 77th year of our Independence.
I wonder what these all gentleman and gentlewomen be doing now
❤ Thanks for showing me our past of my Country . When my Father was 20 .❤
thank you so much 🙏🌟
Amazing documentary....you really feel connected with the generation to their dreams , aspirations & requirements. Hope they all achieved whatever they wanted to.. thanks for sharing
Awesome! Happy Independence Day year २०२३, the Indian from New York 🙏
Salute to the director, it was really a good idea to capture the thoughts of young people of that time.
