00:00The number of patents which are being publishing are quite less in our country and what's something which is missing in the student community?

00:10The research output, the patents, they are less reflective of the infrastructure and more reflective of our social mindset.

00:19Are we risk taking people? Are we willing to dare uncertainty and challenges?

00:26When you are brought up on a diet of fear, because I am afraid, I'll be continuously looking for security.

00:36So even when you are in class 6th or class 8th, you already have been given an image.

00:43Become a good doctor, so that's the image. Get settled, that's the image. An IT job in Bangalore, that's the image.

00:50A US visa, that's the image. Think of the kind of fear it plants into your mind.

00:57The one who tries to make a fresh path for himself and break new ground is rarely appreciated.

01:06But those who bow down and sell themselves off, they rise to high positions in the society and in the institutions. Have you seen that?

01:18One of the threats handed out would be, alright go out, but if you fail, don't come back to us.

01:25Now why would you then want to get into research? You can try to institutionalize research. Yes, that's how it has happened in the West.

01:33But still, the very nature of research is that there would be uncertainty. It's a dive into the unknown.

01:44And if we fear the unknown so much that we want to stick to known lanes throughout, then that's what explains the lack of research culture.
