All the answers are based on responses from the people in age group of 17-23 from major metropolitan cities in India. Believe me, the answers revealed some amazing stories.
Question 1: Who is India's Vice President (M Hamid Ansari)?
Answer: We got all the answers except the right one. Some went close to Pratiba Patil and A P J Adbul Kalam. Even a few infantile guys asked if India really has a Vice President. They presumed that it was a joke and I am someone from MTV doing a ‘BAKRA’ show. The ‘BAKRA’ is more famous than our Vice President, cheers India.
Question 2: Name one player from Indian Hockey team that won eight gold Olympic medals (we all know Dhyan Chand at least).
Answer: Half of them believe it was KPS Gill, 20% don’t know whether hockey really won Olympic gold, 15% went with some freedom fighter and the rest had shocking names like Amol Palekar and Utpal Dutt.
There was one ‘intellectual look’ type guy who said it was a revolt from India against British’s game of cricket. Well thought mate, but we needed this during freedom struggle I presume. Born in wrong era!
Question 3: What is the national flower of India (lotus)?
Answer: As our youth is quite romantic, they unanimously went with the rose. But, the discrepancy was the color. Some felt it must be white rose as it portrays peace, other with red as love and the rest with yellow rose (I wonder what yellow denotes).
There was a couple who argued over the question although both of them replied as ‘rose’ only. The girl felt that it was lotus and had been changed because it is the symbol of BJP but the guy was adamant that it was always rose. All I can say is “what a rouse”.
Question 4: What do you know about ‘nuclear deal’?
Answer: Different responses ranging from awful to sickening ones. Few youngsters feel that it is a deal that allows India to set up a nuclear plant and make weapons. Other went with the view that it allows India to bomb Pakistan anytime and the some felt it was a plot by US to establish a base in India. A little better this time.
But, listen to some more answers. A dude said it was a huge loan to be taken from US for making nuclear weapons as India has no money and that is why it has become an issue. He even suggested taking the loan from UK as the British have already lived in India and they know how to deal with us. Nice suggestion, I hope the authorities are listening.
Another juvenile termed it as ‘Pakistan’s Policy’. She believed that the Pakistan wants to enter India through US as Pakistan is already a member of nuclear deal. The sweetheart related it with terrorism, bloodshed and what not. Really concerned about the nation, you better read some GK books and then answer.
This was the best one among the whole lot. This blonde guy named it ‘invention of the century’. He explained that to me very clearly. Here are his words, “It is the use of nucleus of cells to make anything. By signing this, even we will have the power to make produce anything in this world, weapons, clones and what not. The only issue is that people don’t understand it”. Shut your ears guys, he is the most horrible one I found.
Question 5: What made India reach news headlines in 2007?
Answer: The answers were quite different from the young guns. Some went with cricket, some with beauty pageant, a few with bollywood and a good lot with growing fashion industry. And there was a handful lot who believed poverty, Kashmir conflict and nuclear deal making it famous.
But, we had a gentleman (a graduate from Bihar) who had an altogether different opinion. He firmly believed that it was Rakhi Sawant’s reality shows and the little guy ‘Prince’ who fell in a deep hole made India famous in 2007.
One more, beauty without brains, lady considered India’s heritage, culture and the smell of soil as the reason. I was not able to understand what that means but still I am putting it here, may be you guys can make out something.
Nevertheless, there were a few questions whose answers were given appropriately. Some of them are:

Nevertheless, there were a few questions whose answers were given appropriately. Some of them are:
- Who went out of Roadies (MTV) in third week and who all voted against the person?
- Who are Deepika Pudkone and Saif Ali Khan dating these days?
- What are social utility websites?
- When and where did wardrobe malfunctioning happened last time?
- What are the eight teams participating in IPL twenty twenty?
- Who are Naomi Campbell and Leonardo Dicaprio?
- What is the latest trend in fashion and bollywood?
So, my people you know this Orkut, MTV, V and Facebook yo-yo generation knows nothing more than a fragment. Wake up guys, Ye Hai Hindustan Meri Jaan
According to Mamkol, “India’s young generation is a burger-pizza sandwich stuffed with rajma dal. You know where the reality lies”.
