Srikanth Bolla: Seeing no obstacles

IITs don't desrve him. Thanks for giving him a platform MIT

[@happyman6490]

IITs respects talent of everyone but can't afford all those facilities required by visually challenged person. I don't know present scenario but that must be the reason in the past.

[@AadyaKirkinde-wx6qi]

​@@happyman6490 Sir just see the judging criteria of IIT over MIT and all other US universities. They have a holistic approach meanwhile again IIT has selection less than 1%. Due to which all bright minds across all over world choose MIT as first choice.

[@happyman6490]

@@AadyaKirkinde-wx6qi yeah they have better judging criterias than IITs again same thing comes to point IITs don't have much resources to test all the candidates on other criterias it is what it is.

who all agree with me that bollywood should make biopic of his life?

[@nilankeperera982]

lobby the Indian govt and get this biopic produced

[@RaviManthaauthor]

Something is in the works :-) Watch this space.

[@shivam.maharshi]

+lmaddness I would say hollywood should make it, that would do justice with better direction, music, actors and story. No hate, just my 2 cents.

[@Shrendi]

Bollywood will romanticise his biopic like they did with Dhoni. There will be songs with titles like Pyaar toh Andha Hota Hai (No offense to the great Srikanth)
