This was THE most impactful line of the presentation. So true!
In what other culture outside South Asia can people just instantly tell someone's place in the social hierarchy after hearing their last names?
Replying to @gauravsabnis
"Imagine a world where someone just hears your last name & instantly knows which layer of the hierarchy you're from. Even those who don't have a discriminatory mindset can still just tell someone's caste from their last name. Right, professor?"
Me: Nods vigorously.

Most of Amitabh Bachchan's legendary roles are as a blue collar worker.
Most of Shah Rush Khan's legendary roles are as a super rich guy.
In the 21st century, Bollywood became decidedly anti blue collar.

By 96, the blue collar class almost disappeared from the bollywood's gaze. I believe with opening of the markets, rise of the middle class, and also with the multiplexes controlling majority of business, this was inevitable.

Watch: On Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda says, "He is a Gujarati friend. I respect him as a person. My wife and I have met him. He has been very warm, kind, loving and caring at a personal level. Of course, he is a good orator and hard-working, and we get along well. We have no personal issues. I have nothing against Mr. Modi as a Gujarati leader, friend or well-wisher. He has been very warm towards me, and I appreciate that. Similarly, I have been to his house in Gujarat several times..."

WSJ: "As recently as the summer of last year, Singapore was officially one of Nvidia’s biggest markets, generating 22% of the chip maker’s revenue. Then, practically overnight, it disappeared from the company’s financial disclosures. Investors deserve to know why, and Nvidia needs to start explaining, with or without Jensen Huang at the helm. The timeline indicates that Nvidia altered its methodology for reporting the geographic breakdown of its revenue shortly after placing Megaspeed International on an internal block list. It isn’t clear if the two are related, but the shift had the effect of removing visibility into Nvidia’s sales tied to Singapore. That is the home to Megaspeed, the cloud-computing company embroiled in a sex-and-espionage scandal that has engulfed Nvidia and its chief executive."

The crux of the story of Ramayan is that in the end, Sita realises that Ram is worse than Raavan. Hindus lack the intellect to understand Ramayan.
Why Exam Warriors by Narendra Modi is much superior to Belonging by Sonia Gandhi
Replying to @abhic4ever
Exam Warriors. By a mile. The latter book is autobiographical. But in the former, because the author was writing about a subject in which he had zero personal experience, he had to have more emotional resonance and empathy.
