Recently, I came across to a video wherein an IITian proudly stating that, they’re the first preference for visa across World, and started mentioning the countries they’re living in. Issue was, this gentleman was narrating this in front of academicians, and received an applause for the same too. The problem with this statement is: He basically equated himself and others to mere a user commodity, alike oil & avocados; and not the originator of the products that being used for export; YET, somehow, audience gave this gentleman a resounding applause. I can give this grad who seems to be a juvenile for me, w.r.t. life experiences a benefit of doubt; but what about others? Because, haven’t you heard the places which export(ed) labourers from their lands, and what they were/are being called or considered as in the history books?
Furthermore, please remember that every recession, turmoil, discord, too originated VIA a person from any Ivy League only; doesn’t matter whether that Ivy League belongs to West or EAST!
Of course, where there’s excessive politics, political correctness, required mandatory political representations, where every second person is an activist, politician, critic, journalist, victim; and further, where the liberals say that they can make someone rich and famous, if that person shrieks against Right; or wherein the Right says that they can make someone rich and famous, if that person goes Vernacular; or wherein the Left says that they can make someone rich and famous, if that person calls for Inclusivity even with terror; then such lands have evolution issues; and thus, no one knows then why people want to leave; because of these above issues, or, merely for a good opportunity, or, where talent can be recognized!
Thus, at least alma-maters should be knowing, what they speak, and what they’re proud of, instead of making juvenile statements, and then, alas, receiving applause from well-learned individuals as well!😊
