 Hello, how are you? Namaskar, how are you? I'm good, how are you? Hello, how are you? I'm good. Nice to meet you. Hello. Nice to meet you. Hello. Hello, sir. Hello. So, where am I sitting? Here? Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry, I was a bit late. I'm sorry. That's awesome. I'm Rahul. I'm Congo's president. And I'm a member of parliament from Haiti and I thought I'd have a chat with some young people and get a sense of what they're thinking. So, I don't know if they told you you were going to chat with me or are you expecting someone else? It's not a surprise to us. So, tell me. What's going on? What would you like me to discuss with you? My question is that you come from a Gandhi family in the language of media. And as the current situation in the country, the situation in which you are young, so you don't get tensed about what to do and what to do? No. Why not? What's behind it? You're being accused. If you catch that thing, it will affect you. If you don't catch it, it won't affect you. And personally, my family has been very violent. My grandmother was killed, my father was killed. I get abused every day. So, in a way, a person is taught. The way RSS and Narendra Modi have attacked me, this is a big gift for me. I should learn from this. Actually, really, I should learn. So, this approach, for you people, the youngster should keep this approach. If you say anything wrong, you shouldn't accept it. You listen and move forward. You do your work. Every party has its own manifesto. But what about its implementation? When Congress was in power between 2004 and 2014, we did Narega. We did right to food. We did right to information. We did Shabshik Shah Bihar. So, I mean, it's also not that there is nothing. But the basic idea of today's government is a control idea. They want control. So, when you want control, that means you want to control the Supreme Court. You want to control the election commission. You want to control the VCs. So, that's the problem. And that is their ideology. The tension in the different communities of India, whether they are Dalit, OBCs, upper class, tribals, minorities, Sikhs, Muslims, those who have tension between them, they want to ignore it. They want to ferment it. That means they want to increase it. There are more social problems than politics here. Because we never told them why there is such a thing with Dalits. Because we never taught them in school what the problem is with them. If there is a conflict with them, then why is it happening? We never told them these things. Because we never included in our Pratnik Shiksha. The problem is Pratnik Shiksha. No, that Pratnik Shiksha, people have captured that too. That is the power. They don't want to do it. They know the whole of India. They know the whole of India. They know the whole of Brahmin, Thakur, Yadav, Dalit. They know the whole of Dalit. Don't think that they don't know. Ambedkar Ji told you to organize. Educate. Educate. It's very simple. And then there is another minority that is not being even talked about. The disabled people of India. Which are not even new people. I feel politicians don't see the disabled people as a vote bank. I would say they do not. One, because polling booths are not accessible. This was the first time. I am planning to vote for the first time in the upcoming elections. But polling booths in my area are not accessible. So I don't know how am I going to vote. One of the worst things that the government has done is to not acknowledge that there is a problem. So you must have heard of this word. Divya. What does that mean? Divine body. What do you expect me to fly over stairs and get into hotels? Divine body means that they do not acknowledge that you have a disability. That there is a problem. Firstly, we have to not even differently able. There are certain things that I cannot do differently. How old are you? I am 20. 20. So there are so many things that I cannot do differently. You are pretty impressive for a 20 year old. That's a big compliment. No, you are. Thank you. Sir, that was something I wanted to convey. Sir, coming from the queer community, I am queer. There are a few points that I want to convey from my side and something that I have noted down from queer people in academic spaces from whatever limited access I have. Transmen also exist. But how many times have we seen policies for the transmen? It's not even my narrative to give out. Give me an example of what could be a policy. When every single policy or every single approach with the umbrella term transgender it's always a transforming. So can I just make one observation. She said that as far as differently able people are concerned they are not heard. You are saying the same thing in a different way. You are saying there is another group of people who is not heard. He comes from Dalit community and he is saying I am not heard like I should be. But the Dalit community has politically mobilized. Your community has not politically mobilized. Her community has not politically mobilized. So the Dalit community has got together and said we are going to transmit our voice and Kanchiram Ji played a role there. Ambedkar Ji played a role there. Jadjeevan Ram Ji played a role there. There is a series of people. And they forced India to listen to their voice. Now there is two sides to this coin. One side of the coin is the government listening to you. And the other side of the coin is you organizing yourself so that they are forced to listen to you. In today's world numbers matter. Narrative matters. How you do it matters. Coordination. Conversation that is very powerful. But it is a question of starting up. So one thing I just wanted to ask you. So there is a rule that has been brought that 10% of reservation right. So for what extent it seems genuine or it seems good to the nations. Suppose we are sitting at dinner. And there is no food on the table. And we say you know what we are going to do. We are going to reserve what is on the table for all of you. What is going to be the result of that? Is it going to be a fight? First of all if there is nothing there people are just going to look a bit confused and say what did you give us. The bottom line in India today is there are no jobs. So you can reserve anything you want. The fact of the matter is China is producing 50,000 jobs every 24 hours and India is producing 450. Now think about it. 24 hours, 1.2 billion people 450 are going to get a job. What difference does it make if you give 10% to 6% to 9% you are trying to divide a pie that is tiny. Build the pie. If we are sitting here and we fill the table up it can be divided. The bottom line is you guys are facing a massive crisis. Sir, I want to ask you about Assam. Sir, there is no lack of talent in Assam. So educated and unemployed, it is a big issue. The whole country is a massive issue. Sir, we have heard a lot from Aitya about Kiman Vettan. At least we need to get wages. Sir, I believe that we talk about education and skills. So why don't we talk about equal education and have a strategy for that. My thinking is that minimum level quality education minimum level quality healthcare Indian state should try and give it to everybody. I am thinking about supporting infrastructure. What I think is that we need to help those who are facing education problems. Because the children will lead them. And they will decide the future. You mean you are talking about yourself? Exactly. So we need to give these children proper resources at least for them to grow up. Whatever they want to study it will be easily accessible. See we are building our manifesto and what we are doing is we are having an open conversation about our manifesto. I will put you in touch with the guys who are doing the manifesto. And I am quite interested in what you have said about these ramps and stuff. So I have got it in my mind. And also some of the stuff you have said. So you will see that I will start to push some of these things. I really need to run. Lovely to meet you. Thank you. Thank you sir.
