Indians from 1967 talk about the future

[street cricketer]

I came across this video documentary of then 20 year old Indians from the year 1967 talking about the future of their country, exactly 20 years after independence. Found it really fascinating and thought it was a good watch to have a view into how people more than 50 years back thought and what were their life ambitions. It's very poignant in that it makes you wonder what our futures 20, 30, 40 or even 50 (if we're lucky) years down the line would be, or if we would even exist to tell the tale..

Thanks for the share!

There's actually a follow up video of what some of the people who appeared in the video did with their life!

Makes for equally fascinating viewing, if not more than the original video recorded more than 50 years ago.

Saw this video some days ago. Brilliant stuff. Most were IIT Bombay students.
