On 21 April 1956, Jawaharlal Nehru did
the first
convocation address at IIT, Kharagpur. It's a good read, and
it's surprising how much of it makes sense in 2011. E.g.: in the
larger context of history, and looking at it in this way it seems to
me that at the present moment there is no more exciting place to
live in than India. Mind you, I use the word exciting. I did not use
the word comfortable or any other soothing word, because India is
going to be a hard place to live in. Let there be no mistake about
it; there is no room for soft living in India, not much room for
leisure, although leisure, occasional leisure is good. But there is
any amount of room in India for living the hard, exciting, creative
adventure of life. In case you have not yet seen the
commencement speech, it is worth watching.
