00:00The two different countries, you know, India is too big, too diverse, too complex.
00:10India is much more aware of democracy and the roots of democracy.
00:21I wouldn't compare India in the same league, mainly because of the population of 1.4 billion
00:34and with the kind of diversity we have.
00:36But there is always a danger of authoritarian attitude.
00:42Look at in America, you know, no one ever thought, you know, I came to America 60 years
00:48ago and I never thought that there will be a day in America where they'll be concerned
00:54about authoritarian attitude.
01:01We believe American institutions are fairly robust, whether it is against judiciary or
01:10security, students, universities.
01:19American institutions are independent, full of lots of talent and courage.
01:29You also need courage.
01:30A lot of our institutions don't have courage to stand up to what is right and they buckle
01:38up.
01:39So going back to your question, I think India is very different.
01:44But anything could happen.
01:45I didn't expect this to happen in Bangladesh.
01:48We didn't expect this to happen, for example, in Egypt, the way it happened.
01:53You know, I mean, there are many examples like this in the recent history where things
01:59just erupt and people analyze after the fact and come up with reasons.
02:13I don't have a crystal ball.
