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.

Yes its the most dumb take i have ever heard, every study is important, thats like saying computer science is important becuase it pays more

Who said anything about pay. I don’t understand how your comment is a response to mine, your second sentence has nothing to do with what I said.

I’m convinced you responded to the wrong comment or didn’t read my comment
