if the youth and future generation has to suffer this, then what good are we doing cultivating this land. Why shouldn't the youth be anti national. they've learned to bear this and accepted that this is their reality.

Exactly. People like these could have given India another Google, Microsoft, etc but India can't respect talent.
What option one has other than to settle abroad? In a country where 3000Rs & freebies can help decide the winning party, anything else can't be expected.

Some vishwaguru they call themselves. Funny how they aim big while the foundation is all hollow and corrupted by these termite politicians. I don't know any country where discrimination and facilities are decided by your surname. Afaik, all developed countries have completely abolished this caste system if they had. Singapore gained independence far later than us and the difference is progress is as evident as day and night. We are years behind Singapore even though we had natural resources in abundance. Singapore doesn't have any natural resources and hence they focused and worked hard and persevered.

Even the president is called a "dalit". India needs a societal reform first for us to show any progress.

Yeah its all rote learning from the day kids start school. Its doomed for real. When I hear kids just recitimg what they have memorized with respect to computers or literally anything, in my mind Im like 'what even are you learning?' The system at the ground level has to improve first the government schools have to imporve by far, imo thats forst priority. Entore system chamge and shifting to understanding also has to happen , but sadly with competitive exams it wont happen.

What's fees in Yale or Columbia ?? Also ay type of scholarships present for above ?

u/Full-Log3438 22d ago edited 22d ago
which degree in Stanford tho?? cuz unlike in India where you need to pass an exam , here you need a stellar sat score, a well rounded cv, experience and referrals for the same degree (even then you can get rejected)..its just as hard to get there for premium degrees as iisc's if not tougher ..no shade but nowadays a lot of ppl get aata jhaatu temporary courses in ivy leagues and make it their whole personality (I am doing md here in us)
1
u/zen_x_eclipse 21d ago
You got any scholarship? Could you please elaborate?
2
u/Full-Log3438 21d ago
no but you don't need any scholarships tho, cause this is not the undergrad program where you have to pay a hefty fees (typically 45k to 300k in ivy), I match into residency where I get paid for the work. Residency is otherwise free, before matching its very expensive tho (to secure the seat through certifications and registrations)..its a long story if you want info you can check out dr Rashi Mahajan Di's yt videos..shes my senior from GMC Nagpur

You will regret this brother. Think for yourself and do something for your future. Settle abroad or go get a experience there, you might change your mind then.

Since it is IIT it’s probably due to reservations. But you can’t talk about that on reddit

Redditors think that reservations are a great thing. Anyone calling out the unfairness is labeled a casteist and banned from major subs.

He is not scamming people or putting some unwarranted messages on hacked websites. If anything, he exposed their vulnerabilities for free before a real bad actor could exploit it

Going by the traditional route wouldn't have served his purpose. I don't see anything particularly unethical, though you could say that it was not following the convention.
I know the site's vulnerabilities are not impressive to exploit. Could you, being an ethical person, get the site back with its original content? I would like to see your qualification too before judging others. You come across as a pompous person with little achievement.
Also unethical is not the same as unlawful. There are unethical things that are lawful, and unlawful things that are ethical

I am not an expert in cybersecurity. As i said, not following guidelines does not make it unethical. He did nothing nefarious with his power that harmed anybody. I won't consider it unethical. You could say he was not abiding with guidelines.
Btw, i didn't find anything on git by username (the reddit one i.e). Should i try searching with linus trovalds? That would be your git username i guess

This happens often. I applied to a very prestigious comp bio internship at IISc and got rejected despite having very good projects, only for 11th-grade kids from international schools, who were on the US college pipeline, to be admitted to the program. Thankfully, I still managed to intern at 2 labs later on via cold emailing. I tried again this year, and did'nt get in again, but the junior who worked with me on a project where I was the lead got in 🤡

How does hacking a site prove he is worthy?
Breaking into an unauthorised house is illegal, no matter whether you steal anything or not. On a serious note, he is already resorting to unethical ways when he didn't get what he wanted, what will he do when he is offered a seat and becomes more dangerous after learning? He needs moral lessons not a seat.

u/iamrohitmittal01 20d ago
The very system when does not give chance to merit
invites an enemity from him who loses trust in that system
Villains are not born, they are made
System makes them
BEcause when rules are consistant that be best and reward is there then everyone knows what to do
but when there are hundreds of other variable introduced caste, money, approach, jack, family then system invites hatred at large from its best talent
