Actor-cum-politician Kamal Haasan gave out very debatable segments as a part of his speech at Chennai’s Agaram Foundation event on August 4, 2025. He claimed that education is the only weapon enough to break the chains of dictatorship and Sanatan ideology. He warned against resorting to violence or other disruptive methods, asserting that decisions made by an uneducated majority could undermine the pursuit of social change.
Kamal Haasan Criticised NEET
Haasan went on to criticise NEET, the medical entrance exam. He stated that, since its implementation in 2017, it has crushed the dreams of countless marginalised students in Tamil Nadu. He reflected on leadership and shared a personal insight: real leaders do not dominate—they dissolve into society and serve it quietly.
