Philosopher Acharya Prashant Engages Large Crowds at Four IIT Campuses

Acharya Prashant has recently addressed four IITs – Hyderabad, Kharagpur, Madras, and Bombay – between October and December, drawing unexpectedly large student turnouts. These sessions, often exceeding scheduled times, involved deep philosophical discussions on topics ranging from technology and the restless mind to purpose and environmentalism, prompting probing questions from students and faculty. The engagement suggests a growing interest in philosophical discourse within India's premier engineering institutions, moving beyond typical guest lecture formats.
