‘Indians are the most overworked people on Earth': YouTuber's viral post sparks discussion
A viral post by finance YouTuber and content creator Akshat Shrivastava has reignited debate over India's deeply ingrained culture of overwork, a pattern he attributes not to personal choice, but to systemic pressures ingrained from a young age. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Shrivastava wrote, 'Indians are the most overworked people on earth. Not by choice. But, by system,' citing the example of children preparing for competitive exams like the IIT-JEE who often study 10–12 hours a day. This early conditioning to 'slog,' he argued, carries over into adulthood. (Also Read: 'Narayana Murthy must be dancing': Karnataka's 12-hour workday proposal triggers meme fest) 'This habit continues in adult life,' he wrote. 'Many hardworking Indians migrate abroad. While their European colleagues have downtime, Indians sacrifice their sleep, family and health to serve their company.' He attributed this pattern to a survival mindset that begins in adolescence: 'Many hardworking kids have no choice but to slog. Build merit → build a better life. That's their only option.' The post has sparked a flurry of responses on social media, with many echoing the sentiment and others offering critical perspectives. One user commented, 'Yet despite longer working hours, overall productivity remains so low that it cancels out the extra effort.' Another noted, 'Glorifying slogging as the only path feels like accepting a broken system. True merit should value sustainable effort and well-being.' Others questioned the social cost of this relentless pursuit of success. 'Why does the pressure to top the class start so early, robbing teens of their youth?' asked one user. While Shrivastava's take struck a chord with many, it also triggered introspection. As one user summed it up, 'Hard work is not the problem. Mindset is. Indians need to know: hard work is not the key to success — leverage is.' (Also Read: 'Work 50-60 hours a week, most weekends': Virginia man on harsh reality of life after college)

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi faces backlash for claiming Air India crash survivor was ‘LYING'; Deletes post and issues apology
Actor and singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi stirred quite the controversy this week after she claimed that Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad was 'lying' about his ordeal. Amidst mounting criticism of her harsh tweet questioning the authenticity and the mental stability of the lone survivor, she deleted the post and has now issued a public apology. In a new post on her handle, she wrote, 'Took out my last tweet on the Air India crash survivor. Seems to be false news circulated for God knows what reason. My apologies.' The apology comes just days after Krishnamoorthi, in a now-deleted post on her X (Twitter) handle, accused Ramesh of fabricating his story about surviving the crash. She went on to say that the man "Deserve (sic) not only some serious punishment but some mental asylum time if this is true." However, she soon faced public backlash with netizens calling out her allegations as baseless social media rumours. Defending the sole survivor of the crash, netizens pointed out that Vishwas's identity and survival had been officially verified by the Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad. Despite the apology, many took to the comments section to raise concern over the spread of misinformation and the duty of public figures to weigh their words on social media, particularly in the wake of national tragedies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDsกับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้| เปิดบัญชีวันนี้ IC Markets สมัคร Undo According to the latest reports, Vishwas was discharged from the hospital just days ago, a week after surviving the June 12 crash that claimed the lives of at least 260 people.
