“The main problem in India”: Saber Bathaya says one of the priorities on the possibilities

Hotmail SABEER BATIA founder has sparked a discussion about India’s social and economic trend, and criticized what he calls a national tendency to give priority to the religious and regional identity for individual merit, and to interrogate whether the famous growth of India translates into real progress for its people.

“The main problem in India”, Batia was published on X, “We see each other first as members of religion or the region – Hindo, Muslim, Tamil, Punjabiya – before we see the individual. Until we change this mentality and celebrate the individual identity and freedom, the real progress will remain far from hand.”

His remarks follow a series of podcasts as Batia drew a bleak picture of the ecosystem of innovation in India. He said that the cultural fear of failure, along with academic pressure to follow the traditional professions, prevents young people from thinking independently or creative risks.

He said: “Even the best students are transferred to engineering or medicine,” not because they are passionate, but because he is safe. “

Bhatia has in particular criticized the education system’s focus on the theory on practice. “Indian engineers often graduate without building one project,” he pointed out, on the contrary, with the practical approach in the West and China. He also pointed to how Chinese policy supports education and values ​​technical skill, while the India model treats education as a gateway to the prestige instead of being an institution for learning.

In India’s economic performance, Batia aims to celebrate the milestones of GDP, describing them as “vanity measures” that hide aspects of deeper inequality.

“What is the benefit of being the fourth largest economy in the world if the basic quality of life does not improve?” He asked.

He warned that growth without a wide distribution is “just an enlarged camouflage”, with highlighting that millions are still living in poverty and many are still looking for opportunities abroad.

He said that the real priority should be collective education and the development of intellectual property rooted in the original thought.
