    This talk is for scholars and not for laymen.
    What is the use of scholarship if they cannot break it down or make common people understand it what they are talking about.
    I always felt Bhanu Mehta always wanted to show of his intellect in many discussions.
    These scholars live in their echo systems and wonder why world is turning right.

    PB Mehta seems to live in an echo chamber. He finds it necessary to impose change on people rather than build a foundation for change. Quoting the French revolution doesn't bring change or build a just or free society. I wish liberals spent more time studying our own history and highlighting reformers and thinkers within our own society. India has her own set of thinkers who are equal if not better than western thinkers. Where are the liberals highlighting their contributions to changes in Indian society?

      @@mg.f.9023 I don't think politicians educate people. People are educated in schools and colleges and Universities. And NO, modi won't baby sit all teachers/professors every day and brainwash all educators. Now that I've kept that aside, I studied at IIT KGP. And I find this talk to be useless. After listening to ~ 24 min, I couldn't come up with one single line that I can think of being able to 'quote'. And TBH, I've become suspicious of Humanities as a study. It's full of opinions and theories of others and which cannot be tested in a lab. And importantly all those theories and opinions are extremely local and cultural i.e. what works for US is irrelevant in India .I can't find a single reason why opinions of these people are valuable over a bhojpuri speaking mango man I meet in a Metro. Hey, but if you do, you do yourselves.

    People like Pratap Bhanu Mehta has convinced me that Humanities will equip you to speak lot of rubbish in good english. It made me realize that study of society, people, politics (sociology/political science) belongs to everyone and every common man and there is no reason why 'theories' or 'opinions' of people like PBM are anymore valuable than a regular commoner who speaks Bhojpuri. Humanities basically is bunch of opinions of other people that cannot be tested in a laboratory. And what is extremely important is that it's very localized and culture specific. Ideas that are applicable in US aren't in India. Likewise ideas that are applicable in UP/Rajasthan aren't applicable in Andhra. Heck, Andhra and KA are quite different and require very different lenses even though they are adjoining and share lot of culture. These people are just C H E A T S. BTW, this is such a wonderful and excellent talk - the previous stmt will F O O L algo to conclude that this is a P O S I T I V E comment and P U B L I S H it.

    Haha..When young, I used to explore this. One day, I realised it is "higher level Bakwas". But each person must listen and read such stuff.
    Remembering, these guys know only the little they known... And they are human too...and " humanities" is a field, that has many angles.

      These two have NOT read
      Locke, Hayek, science deeply, and these are just their subjective views, with subtle defensive egos, defences, complicated rationalusations. Like Russel wrote --
      Why is philosophy obscure? Russel himself was obscure!!

      Yes. You are right. It is each person's "subjectivity". But they are by default coercive. Maybe we all are. And that is NOT forward moving. They carefully NOT read or properly study outside their OWN comfort zone.
