Elvish Yadav gives pep talk to UPSC aspirants, internet not amused: ‘This country is doomed’

The YouTuber also shared a personal anecdote, revealing that his mother once encouraged him to attempt the UPSC exams himself. “Ek chhoti si meri bhi ek story hai. Meri mummy bhi chahti thi ki UPSC ka paper du main (I have a small story of my own too. My mother also wanted me to appear for the UPSC exam),” he said, acknowledging that while he was academically decent, the challenging lifestyle of civil service aspirants was never for him.

“Although padhne mein bhi sahi tha. But mai mummy ko humesha bolta tha ki mummy UPSC mein toh bahot padhna padta hai. Chaudah chaudah ghanta bachhe padhte hai. Bees tees ghanta padhte hai. Mobile use nahi karte. Mai toh aisa nahi hu. Toh mere se kabhi UPSC nahi ho paega (Although I was good at studying, I always used to tell my mother, “Mom, you have to study a lot for UPSC. Kids study for 14 hours a day, sometimes even 20–30 hours. They don’t use mobile phones. I’m not like that. So, I’ll never be able to crack UPSC),” he recounted.

Despite his reluctance, Yadav shared that his mother believed it was written in his astrological chart that he would become an IAS officer.

Sharing the clip, an X handle @DrNimoYadav wrote, “It has come to this, Elvish Yadav is giving motivational speech to UPSC-selected students. God save this country.”

Soon after the video went viral, several users questioned the relevance of an influencer addressing future civil servants. “This clearly reflects the mindset of the people of India, which explains why India is frequently the subject of mockery worldwide,” a user wrote. “Bcoz they understood end of the day bill gates meets dolly Chaiwala,” another user commented.

“This country is doomed,” a third user reacted.
