Don’t have to agree on everything but should hear each other’s point of view: PM Modi

“Usually, it is believed that public figures prefer to be on forums whose thought process matches with the person’s own world view. Because there is a lot of comfort in being among such people,” he said.

“Of course, I also cherish being among such surroundings but at the same time, I believe there must be a constant and continuous dialogue between individuals and organisations irrespective of one’s thought process,” Modi added.

‘Surnames of youth don’t matter now’

During his address, Modi said that for several years, a culture was created in which aspirations were seen in a bad light, adding, that opportunities came to individuals depending upon their surname or contacts.

This is an India where the surnames of the youth do not matter.

What matters is their ability to make their own name.

“Success depended on whether you belonged to an Old Boy’s club. Big cities, big institutions & big families…this is all that mattered,” the prime minister said. “This is an India where the surnames of the youth do not matter. What matters is their ability to make their own name,” he said.
