He is from a small village in Bihar, and still when I sometimes discover any thing written by him or read by him they are in english. And my mother used to tell me that he could really write and speak english very well(though in his school it started from class 5th). So I think it is because of the preference given to English in those times(due to British influence) that they speak so well.

We felt free in our minds,truly.The power was in our minds- not in material goodies, of which we felt deprived but soldiered on. That was a Nehruvian gift: although pretty ‘deprived’ materially,we felt truly free to think for ourselves/ express ourselves. Something I miss today.. I find the young sadly conformist today.(with some exceptions as always). And of course we spoke far better than English those days. There were convents even in smaller centres like Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, etc, where we got an all-round education.We didn’t come from wealthy families- just middle class. Education was not expensive The ‘English’ spoken today makes me groan in pain.The English language has been ruined by ‘managementese’… management’lish’.I felt happy to watch this documentary..to come across people like me… forward looking, bold, happy & smiling.

I can see how our youth has similar foundational opinions and values even this day. The only difference, we are not as candid and forthright in our opinions. We try so hard to make it look unique. Even if someone aspires something very basic like joining the civil services, they will have an essay on how unique their choice is.

This is beautiful. It's also important to note that most of the people shown would be in the top 1% of Indians. Educated, cultured. Knowing much about the world and respecting their own country as well. I am so glad that the film maker also included so many girls and their opinions. For that time, this documentary is highly advance. I also noticed that people are much the same though. Science, govt jobs, law also.

[@TARUNVERMA911]

I am not surprized by the seeming "wise" comments of the youth of that time. We can find such people in any generation. A documentary shows the viewpoint of the film maker, and is highly edited to suit the needs of audiences. We must not forget that the documentary maker has edited the video and might have deleted many such opinions which majority holds. Film maker has tried to show diverse viewpoints and obviously he did not want to portray any bad image of indian youth. This documentary must have been presented at various platforms and film festivals, specially at govt gatherings. So how could he project any bad image of India, and that too in 1967 when technology growth was gaining popularity (Green revolution, space exploration etc.). He seems to have portrayed a highly educated and ambitious youth of india only. Just see that except few individuals, all of them were speaking good english. Now try to consider that youth of 1967 speaking such a good english must have belonged to cities like delhi, mumbai and calcutta, who had studied in english medium schools and were very wealthy. Is this a true representation of 1967 India ???? Take the case of those farmer youth presented here. Much of India was like that only. And we can still find such youth in 2018 who doesn't even know names of their CM or PM. But the video seems a biased representation of youth of 1967. Video is itself visionary as what kinds of youth must be there in India in future, rather than found at present (in 1967). Most of the people watching this video belong to that category of farmer youth presented in the video, who only are concerned by their district collector only but not national issues in general. So I am not surprized that individuals here are surprized after watching the video. Hence, I disagree with the opinions presented in this video as it is biased and not representative.

[@agdoombagdoom8540]

Hello. I have a little objection to your negative comment here. However, you enormously neglected the fact that the great director of this documentary has portrayed the country as it should be in 1960's. A mix of both how we were lagging behind and how could we be top of our games. Inspite of that you have criticized negatively. I say it is far more inspiring than any documentaries dedicated to Indian youth however if they are any.

[@tanmaysahoo7416]

You are absolutely right Tarun. The director first interviewed people from random urban areas but was unsatisfied. So he went to the IITs to interview students there. Many of the youngsters interviewed are IITans.

[@Rahulkumar-dg5pu]

Correct!

[@mohith5730]

Can't agree more!

[@embeddedprojects1404]

You are right but faith of the country is always changed by handful of people be good or bad, even today majority of India's population will still be in same ratio with upper class what it was back then , individual people like Varghese Kurien brought white revolution, Vikram Sarabhai started space program, Homi Bhabha started Nuclear program. So these guys had all the required ingredients to become the One , I hope they would have done something good for society ..

Even after 74 years of independence, India is still a country where English defines person's knowledge. We are physically independent but not mentally. Ironically this comment and every other comment is in English. Ah! Sometimes it hurts.

I'm the Indian who is accusing the country for its slow infrastructure and the cringe behaviour of the youth. If I was in the film I would had said that if i were given the opportunity or to earn the opportunity to leave the country I would have definitely leave And i strongly stand for this These people from the urban areas answers satisfied me
