In what can only be described as a monumental self-own at the prestigious india AI Impact Summit, a student from Galgotias university turned a simple networking chat into national comedy gold. An entrepreneur, casually probing the kid's tech creds, asked the killer question: "What's your favorite programming language?"
Without missing a beat, the Galgotias prodigy – decked out in a casual T-shirt like he's at a college fest, not a global summit – beamed and declared: "Sanskrit." Yes, you read that right. Sanskrit. The ancient language of the Vedas and epics, not variables and loops.
The entrepreneur's face? Priceless shock, the kind that screams, "Did this guy just troll me or is indian education truly this cooked?" The student doubled down, gushing that sanskrit is "such a great language" because... reasons left hanging in the air like bad code that won't compile.
This viral disaster, captured on video and racking up hundreds of thousands of views, perfectly encapsulates why India's "AI superpower" boasts a ring hollow. While global leaders discuss cutting-edge tech, our conveyor-belt engineering factories churn out graduates who confuse dead languages with Python, Java, or literally anything that runs on a computer.
Critics are piling on: whatsapp university graduates in the flesh, fake degrees, bribe-accredited institutions – take your pick. One thing's clear: if this is the talent pool Modi’s flaunting at international summits, we're not leading the AI race. We're not even in the stadium. We're outside chanting mantras, hoping the servers boot up by divine intervention.
Galgotias university has yet to comment, probably busy translating their syllabus into actual programming languages. India’s tech future? Namaste and good luck.
