2.5-hour-long livestream on the official YouTube channel of The Hindu from October 2, 2025. According to the description, Rahul Gandhi addressed a seminar on &#8220;The Future Is Today&#8221; at EIA University in Colombia. In his address, Gandhi discussed innovation, youth empowerment, and the challenges facing India in adapting to rapidly changing technological changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We carefully reviewed the entire video and found that the portion that is now viral appears between the 1:00:00 and 1:03:46-minute mark. At the 1:00:01-minute mark in the video, a person questions Rahul Gandhi about the role of AI, the future of youth in the digital world, becoming a social media influencer and creating jobs. At the end of the question, the person asks Rahul Gandhi if he has any final message for the youth that is important in the context of job creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rahul Gandhi addresses seminar at EIA University,  on \u2018The Future Is Today\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mvUrKLvSKKE?start=3639&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\nResponding to this, Gandhi said, \u201cSomebody yesterday asked me, \u2018Why have you come to Colombia\u2019? In the 21st century, it is very important to understand and observe different cultures because you would never know how you can connect or how and where you will connect with somebody until you actually go there. For me to say that I will connect with Colombia sitting in India or this is the type of relationship I\u2019ll have with Colombia, that won\u2019t work. So being open to other cultures, no matter how big or small, is very important.\u201d Then, at the 01:02:30-minute mark in the video, Rahul Gandhi addresses the influencer issue, saying, &#8220;My personal opinion for those who are pursuing the role of influencers is enjoy yourselves, but please don&#8217;t rely on that, because that stuff will disappear. It&#8217;s temporary, it&#8217;s a temporary phenomenon. Make sure you have some resilient skills that you can depend on. The more specialised and unique your skills are, the easier it will be for you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the 01:03:03-minute mark, he gives an example, saying, &#8220;If you&#8217;re a doctor, make sure you have some specialisation that nobody else has, because you&#8217;re probably the first generation that can sell that skill anywhere on the planet. You don&#8217;t just need to sell it in Colombia; you can sell it anywhere you want. So, you have the tools for massive marketing and massive projection, but you do need one or two or three skills that make you unique. I have a big social media presence, but I would not rely on that. That thing is a lot of fluff. Be careful.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He then tells the attendees, &#8220;So, I would say that if you&#8217;re doing manufacturing here in Medellin, that&#8217;s great, and I wish you all the best.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s clear from the above context that Gandhi was cautioning young people not to rely on quick fame via social media. He called social media engagement and fame temporary and urged the attendees to focus on skill development instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus, the video shared by many BJP spokespersons and Right-wing social media users is edited and shared out of context.
