Transcripts
there's a complaint about um India's
youth in general that they're very good
at announcing problems at pointing out
problems and I won't take names but some
of India's so-called future some certain
activists who think India should be run
differently are very good at pointing
out problems and when ask for solutions
they say yeah but there are more
problems as somebody who's been asked
this by different people from different
walks of life do you think there's a
systemic problem with us and accepting
Solutions because they are harsh and to
extend that point I have a genuine
concern with a lot of people that I see
around me and I think as Indians we need
to ask ourselves why this happens that
in India you go to anybody who's just
freshly made a mistake it can be a small
mistake he could have stolen 10 rupees
or it could be a large mistake he could
have killed someone the moment you go
and hold his collar and ask him why he
did it he says you have not been in my
shoes you have not gone through my
circumstances for some reason that
justifies doing a wrong thing but if
somebody com and points fingers at
problems they all join we all join
together and say
h when the truth is we don't actually
stop and look within ourselves is this a
systemic problem with this country
because we were discussing earlier about
even unhappy countries like China being
better off than us when it comes to
individual morality and individual
responsibility so where does we India
stand in terms of the systemic problem
of as long as I do it it's okay as long
as somebody else does it it's a crime
where does that start where does does
that stop see about people making a
profession of pointing out problems this
is becoming a serious problem okay you
try to do anything in this country they
want to stop it you want to build a dam
there's a protest you want a nuclear
project there's a protest thermal
project protest windmill protest but
everybody wants everything in their
homes they want all the gadgets they
want 24 hours power they want everything
going this is because we're only looking
at the problems and we have not taken up
the challenge of creating Solutions in
our minds I think this is a kind of a a
pre-independence hangover because
Mahatma Gandhi brilliantly designed uh a
revolt against the British not by
killing them not by shooting at them not
by bombing
installations but simply by stopping
activity Band haral saty came from there
it was a brilliant wise for those days
because we were conquered but even today
if you want to become a leader I'm just
telling you this is a secret okay
suppose you want to become a political
leader don't try to do don't try to
build a road build a dam do this do that
no gather 100 of your fans and block a
highway make our lives miserable you
will become a
leader yes unfortunately yes you stop
the train you stop the road you stop to
cut the water cut the electricity you
will become a leader if you make
something happen you will get ignored of
course making the nation go and making
the nation stop are two different kinds
of Technologies Mahatma Gandhi mastered
the art of making the nation stop at it
was contextually the right thing to do
for those times because we were being
ruled by somebody else but we still
doing the same thing state governments
are demanding that they must have a
right to call for a bun
Bund means
closure I cannot understand how an
Administration can call for a
Bund but they're actually saying it's
their right to call for a Bund close
down something and you will rise in your
prominence this must change we should
never identify people who stop something
in this country as Leaders this must be
done by all the citizens whoever stops
something in this nation should never
ever be our leader whoever makes the
things happen in this country he must be
the leader isn't it
