He Cleared IIT… But Still Wanted to End His Life | Reality of Social Mobility | Anil Nagar

We often believe that clearing an exam ends all struggles. That success automatically fixes pain, poverty, and trauma. But that’s not how real life works. In this conversation, a deeply personal story unfolds — of growing up in a village where survival came before dreams, where children walked barefoot, where violence in schools was normal, and where even after reaching IIT BHU, the emotional wounds did not disappear. This is not just a story about exams or education. It’s about social mobility, mental health, childhood trauma, and the silent pressure carried by students from marginalized backgrounds. India talks a lot about success stories. We rarely talk about what it costs to survive the journey. Watch this video till the end. It may change how you look at “achievement”.
