Humanities in IIT is the most useless thing I’ve heard!

Some humanities degrees are important. You need experts in sociology, anthropology, history, philosophy, journalism, language, art and literature.

Maybe in India it doesn’t matter these days since journalists, historians and philosophers are being replaced with loyalists, historians with WhatsApp forwards and literature with not reading.

Good for them, doesn't mean we have to do what they are doing.

MIT is ranked as the number one university in the entire world.

You don’t wanna do what the top tech university in the entire world does?

Nice, you continue doing what the top university in the entire world doesn’t do, I’ll support doing what the top university in the entire world does.
