Did the migration of Irish , Italians , the English, the Spanish to the "New
World" - the Americas make them less or more patriotic. Was that a wise
decision? And the Indians aversion to discorvey and travel in the last
millenium - a reason of rejoicing in the name of patriotism?

Speech by KIRAN BEDI :
Beginning with an intriguing question as to why people compromising with
their conscience are successful..? or why dishonesty has reaped benefits for
those who adopted it and left the others battling it out for sustenance?
Dr.Kiran Bedi baffled the audience at IIT-Guwahati which expected her to speak
out on cyber crimes.
However, she felt glad visiting the part of the country which is visited not
by choice but generally on basis of compulsion. Dr.Bedi reflected on the
beauty that exists in the untouched natural environment of the north east to
the beauty that exists inside its inhabitants, everything that starts from
simplicity and politeness but finds a dead end with an honesty labelled with a
question mark.
Making reference to the students of IIT G Dr.Bedi pointed out the general
trend among the youth of India and not just IIT, i.e. the pursuit of individual
gains rather than the collective gains. She pointed out the flaws in our
education system which makes India still deficient in its human resource
despite possessing bright and fertile brain power of the youth. The demands of
Indian intellectuals be it doctors or engineers is not only in research and
industry but the society as a whole depends on them. The dreams of making India
a superpower by 2020 will still sound a distant dream until our youth was
imparted education to educate others, empowered those who have been
impoverished and reach out to those millions of under privileged Indians who
have never reaped the fruits of our recent earned freedom.
Dr. Bedi stressed on the fact that the youth of India should live for the
greater good of their country. The premier institutes of education that the
govt. has provided will not solve their purpose until they yield youth full of
energy to change things for the better and having the attitude, perseverance
and most importantly courage to do what is right and question what is wrong. It
is very easy to lead a normal life in which nothing changes. For eg the ethics
being questioned and no. of divorces on the rise.
The issue of the students community in India losing out on their patriotic
quotient makes it all the more worthwhile to ponder over the system of
education were having right now. She urged the director and the faculty of the
institute to imbibe more of a social perspective as a part of the curriculum
and add a personal reading hour to make them read about great people.
Reforming education is the key to reforms. She urged the young population to
act like entrepreneurs and explore their avenues and have that urge to perform
against all odds. She also asked them to develop an attitude of asking
themselves to give something back to those whom they look up with great
expectation. She also reminded us of our sense of duty to our country and of
the wider human society as a whole. She also said about people who balanced it-
success and a spirit of volunteerism; she also cited its the habits u make
that make you
In a fit of motivational fervour she implored the students to change the
people who faltered ..to give them perspective, to interact with terrorists,
win them over, to donate books pens and impart knowledge to collectively work
and help everyone and learn team-working coordination and leadership. Her final
message: Grow up to empower your county.
