A very important aspect on why universities breed bad ideas across the world , specially the humanities segment come up with horrible ideas.
Professor Gad Saad Explains beautifully here.
George Orwell said "it takes an intellectual to come up with truly stupid ideas". When academics are disconnected from reality or accountability, bad ideas spread like parasites. While STEM professionals have to answer for their mistakes, humanities professors build theories that no one ever has to test. That lack of accountability is exactly how toxic ideas take over a university and eventually a culture. If these professors can't survive the scrutiny of their own ideas, should they be teaching our children?

This is exactly why India should tread with extreme cautious regarding allowing these subversive curriculum and ideas in universities.

On Monday in #Parliament, four bills are set to be introduced — two by Amit Shah, — covering reforms in tribunals, mining regulation, state renaming, and cooperative development.

This moving video pays a heartfelt tribute to the brave souls who laid down their lives so we could live in a free and independent nation.

Freedom was never free—every right we cherish today was earned through the ultimate sacrifice of generations who chose courage over comfort and country above self.

Bharat Mata ki Jai 🇮🇳
