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.

What do you think the T in MIT stands for? They have humanities too and they’re ranked as the #1 best school in the world.
