"You want the truthful answer or the diplomatic answer?" India's foreign minister sat in a park chatting with Bengaluru's youth, a month before the state went to polls...

00:00The West has a bad habit for a long time of commenting on other people.

00:05They somehow think it's some kind of God-given right.

00:10This freebie culture is actually a way of, I would say, quick popularity.

00:30In the light of recent events, there's Germany interfering in the internal affairs of Indian

00:50politics as well as U.S. commenting.

00:53Why is there a constant need for validation from the West, or is it that they are only

00:59commenting because we are giving them a window or a chance to speak?

01:04I want the truthful answer or the diplomatic answer.

01:13So I give you the truthful answer.

01:16There are two reasons.

01:19Reason number one is because the West has a bad habit for a long time of commenting

01:25on other people.

01:29They somehow think it's some kind of God-given right.

01:34And I think they will have to learn only by experience that if you keep doing this, other

01:42people will also start commenting and they will not like it when that happens.

01:47But I can see it happening.

01:50The second part of the truth is we can have our arguments, but when in our arguments you

01:57actually invite the world to come and comment on you, then people are more tempted to comment,

02:04no?

02:05So we also need to not give those very generous invitations to the world saying, oh, there

02:11are problems in India, you know, America and Europe, why are you standing by and doing

02:15nothing?

02:16So if somebody from here goes and says, why are you standing by and saying nothing, then

02:20obviously they are going to comment.

02:22So part of the problem is them, part of the problem is us.

02:26And I think both need fixing.

02:29The college is also like very interested in people innovating, getting jobs, everything.

02:30But somewhere students are getting, the youth is getting attracted to the freebies coming

02:31from the other states.

02:32So what can we do about this internal issue?

02:33I know you understand.

02:34What do you mean freebies from other states?

02:35Give me an example.

02:36The other states which are giving, sir.

02:37Like in the Delhi, the free...

02:38Free electricity, free water.

02:39Oh, yes.

02:40First of all, this freebie coming from the other states is not a problem.
