He should be an inspiration to every aspirant. If you cannot resign from your job when morality demands it, you've lost the moral right to be in a public job in the first place!

2 IAS officers , Kannan and Athar Amir ... Kannan raised up for kashmiris and Athar being a kashmiri is quiet . This is what unity in diversity means 🇮🇳🇮🇳

To those calling him a politician and questioning his authenticity to be on this platform: Don't know whether a politician or not but he is certainly a good political leader and he follows the politics of Humanism

Excellent talk, initially I started watching the video with less interest due to its long duration (2:31:47) but ended up with huge respect for sir and decision. I completed video without stop with lot of curiosity and interest. If you are able to make difference while being in the system do it continuously, but if you think that act of getting out also can make difference to the system do it also. I think he well answered to his decision to resign from the service. You don't regret decisions, you regret your inability to make that decision success. This is the highlight. Thanks Insights.

when i was reading the book by CG Somiah, "The Honest Always stand Alone" only Kannan's image could come to my mind as contemporary example of an Honest Example.. Salute to his passion for serving people.. it is unfortunate that he is no longer in service.. it is loss to service itself.

Thank you so much Insights IAS. Your Institution has great courage to do this. Great salute to Gopinath sir we need an IAS officer like you. You are my Ideal. Jai hind

OMG, I never thought I'll see 2 hours 31 minutes KZread video. Kanan Sir is an inspiration

Best thing done by InsightsIAS 😊

After I watched this video, I have decided that I want to change. And I will change for a good cause.

Best ignite at insights session till date👏

When you see Problems in system You choose one "F" 1)Flow 2)Flee 3)Fight

Honest talk from the heart, truly he is an "influencer" as his sweatshirt reads, for youngsters and veterans...

This clears the difference between a learned Indian and a so called nationalist. Sir, your decision of immediately resigning shows your strong-headedness and clarity of thought. You are more than a civil servant, you're a learned Indian.

at 49:09 massive respect.....why he chose to resign

Not planning to get into civil Service. But still there are so much to learn from Kannan. (integrity, honesty, compassion, humble and so much more)

This republic requires more people like this man. A real hero. Listened it two times.

Thank you #Gopinathan Sir for teaching us critical questioning ability.. today we really lack this.. Thank you #Insightsteam for calling such a simple but influencial and great personality.. You all are just Awesome...!

Very confident👌 person I admire him for his efforts to make Indians Proud of him.

Thanks for teaching me the duty of an ias officer # grand salute to you #our country really need lots of leaders like you sir.#this is the great need of our country.

Very much thankful for insights who have invited such a brave and fearless person to connect with us

Thank you Insights , this is the Best ! ♥

Huge respect to you, Sir. These lecture is a must thing to watch for every wannabe IAS officers. I have learnt many many things from today's session.

Really Really enjoyed the sirs talk.. have learnt so many aspects .. not sure how time went so fast that's something this video brings to you. very interesting and very informative too. great persona. kannan Gopinathan sir thank you sir for bringing up different level of thinking and igniting our thoughts with your humble experience journey. thank you so much insights IAS specially Vinay sir for introducing such a great soul on their platform. thank you so much kudos

I got goosebumps and even cried. You are amazing sir, simply incredible. 1:02:20 was a gem.

I wish there can be documentary made on sir Kannan, so diligent at his duties. I am inspired towards my duties at my level. Netflix you have some work to catch up.

I hv seen all the speech given by him... I think if all the bureaucrats will become like him then it'll be helpful for country... It's not about politics or fame bcz when I speak to some of my friends then I realized that they actually don't know real issues..

I would simply say that after listening him my thought process has changed completely

Thank you Vinay ji Sir

Most inspiring moment that I feel 1:01:00..he is such inspiring people..lots of things to learn from him... thank you sir.

A nice lecture on ethics.

Thank you insights for putting up this session.

Well established intellectual leader with capacity to bring radical change in a country of "yes men".distinct kind of thoughts with full of virtues. Its good that you resigned sir to make change for good in our country and also to serve it in the way better than you did earlier.

All IAS officer can't do like this.The current system of the government and their policy is Whatever it's you totally exposed therefore I dedicate my big salute from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you sir

Damn he can lead a revolution.... Specially those haves....that would qualify.... And have not who would be judged

Generations to came it may be, such a one is this.......

56:20 Powers and responsibilities of an IAS.... mindboggling!

Really nice sir....

Same hobby i have sir matching matching 😊.. I want to work in education sector something

The views need to be in millions.

U r genius sir god bless you forever

By being in the service he has the full power to use his potential towards the goods for others whether through persuasion, which he cannot do by being out of the service.But we respect his decision as we always respect the difference of opinion.But we must not lose such brilliant IAS officer.

The most efficient and courageous IAS officer...

What a man yar.. Hats off..

Very inspiring sir

Great personality

This is out of the box thinking

Please being loyal to the ethics and for being standing with the people.... Some are calling him #antiNational ... Let them call like that.... But he is our hero massive respect to you sir #IASkannan_gopinathan Thank you insight for calling such a real bureacrate And especially for sharing the whole video..💓💓

Awesome 👍

Congratulations sir 👍

Legend

Salute h 😎

Kerala 💎 gem

IAS LIKE HIM , VERY IMMEDIATE NEED OF RURAL INDIA FOR THRIVE OF OUR COUNTRY..

Nice

Vvpats were randomly examined for any sort of irregularities..... another reason why learned people are not always right.

Questioning is an art and it can be easily misused by many to stop developments, if you question someone, you should also be able to give better and realistic alternate solution... Kannan sir, should himself questioned, whether universities are established for educating youth or radicalising for doing Violent Protests? Though we are spending more money in Kashmir than other states, why there is no substantial development? I WISH TO SEE KANNAN SIR, SHOULD HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH J SAI DEEPAK, instead of Students and justifying his resignation.

True beacon of democracy ! Long. live his conviction!!

Kannan is a great indian

Very nice lecture

sir I am big fan of you.sir I just want your comment on just selling public sector by G.O.I

Kannan Gopinath Jindbad Jindabad

Your decision is right.. our country and citizens don't deserve officers like you.. Descent is the right in democracy.

Our education system hardly produces such enlightened students

I think thought like kalam sir

Unless the bureaucracy espouses constitutional values... the Steel Frame may be there but that may or may not be for the advancement of the country! We really want our bureaucracy to imbibe the ethics he's trying to teach!

difference in quiting job in private and government sector is GREED....GREED is the center thought of capitalism and Communism one lead to money other one toward the political power... our traditional vedic culture is based on TYAG, LIBERATION, PUNYA by helping other people's...but secular culture(in india secularism is only for hindu...muslim has fundamental right to be communal) rejects it by saying cow gobar sati untouchability...well wisher of dalits from independence use them as political tool...plz allow them to enter in village ramji temple...allow them to cut hair in village saloon...establish harmony by persuasion of so called upper cast orthodox people...not devide nation by chanting JAY BHEEN JAY MIM....say loudly and clearly JAY HIND 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

1:28 was awesome.......at least u know there is a constitution.....

I am really disappointed by not getting a reply from Deputy Commissioner, Mysore, even after submitting a representation by his name, which is pending in his Office for more than five years. Atleast he would have taken my age into consideration (I am aged 68years) and replied me. Can anyone help me?

😍😍😍

Democracy now!!🔥🔥✊

Son of kerala 👏👏👏👏

😱😱😱😱

People occasionally misses a simple point. Difference between Right and Good. Being good is always the easiest option availbale but being right and getting things right is the hardest to acheive. What most of Humanism principle is based on the premise of being Good and subsequently most educated people like him follow the easy path of being Good. But what required for being an impactful bureaucrat is doing Right things. Althought a bureaucrat has limited power to do anything but ideally a bureaucrat should try to do the things Right. Kannan Gopinathan might be a good human being but he showed he is not the right choice for a bureaucrat.

Answer to ଅLall questions is what for one aspire for I A S.

He said clear truth about evm, still people sont realise

Plato's politics

From now onwards your institutions will be under radar of Mote bhai

Then sir according to you we shouldn’t detain anyone in Kashmir then if an attack had happened then who will be responsible.

You can guess who those 61 dislikers are as on 5.3.2020....

good

Lutyens

Respect for this Great man... Whole kashmir is grateful to him

First part of the speech was something worth, but second part seems like coming from aspiring politician. He himself say that if you have to burn your ego for the bigger goal you must do it, what he does when he get the bigger responsibility of dozens of portfolio, he just quit. Had he resigned then when he got lesser responsibility, I would have convicted myself of being wrong. It is simply the proliferation of responsibility which made him to quit in order to get better way to move forward.

Insight IAS Jinda bad

He said country foreign policy should depend upon people of Tamil Nadu in case of Sri Lanka so when it comes in North and issue of Kashmir and about 50crore are supporting then how can you say that it is problem freedom of expression. So according to you for tamilian Constitution can be change and foreign policy can be change but when it comes about Kashmiri pandit you have changed your stand waah. Tapikal sought Indian

Insurgency session?

Although I don't agree with most of his points specially EVM & VVPAT part but still I watched full video without any break bcz I respect difference of opinion and I respect those who has courage to take bold decision.

Before you enter into civil service the person should ask himself or herself whether he/she want to become slave (particular political party) or servant of the nation/citizens? which Mr. Gopi Kannan realize the issue and decided to resign for not being slave. I salute such IAS officers like Mr. Gopi Kannan.

Sir i really respect your views, Definitely you are a big asset to our country. But humbly i don't agree your thoughts on Kashmir issues. I wish our country has all the bureaucrats like you, the Kashmir problem could not have come up to this level. People who implemented the policy on ground not did it with humanity and the with the spirit implicit in it . There maturity levels play a big role in it. Like you gave the example of a ssp who said go to Pakistan, for this we can not blame the government. No police is perfect in it self , how you implement it makes a big difference . If person like you would have been responsible for policy implementation in J&k from very beginning, how bad would have been the policies it would have yields the good results jai hind.

Why so many person don't have patience

Kuch v samjhake chala gya... Admired him for his work in mizoram n all... But too much pro congress attitude represents something is fishy about him... U encourage asking questions na... I'm asking this... Why is it necessary for govt to put army in kashmir? ... Why can't kashmir let the rest of india live in peace? ...
