Bill Gates' comments on India's potential as a 'laboratory to try things' during a podcast have sparked backlash among Indian social media users, who felt the remark was disrespectful. While some saw it as reducing India to a testing ground, others defended Gates, claiming his statement was misinterpreted.

Bill Gates' latest comments on a podcast with Reid Hoffman have set off a firestorm of controversy among Indian commentators. In a discussion, he referred to India as a "kind of laboratory to try things," which has caused great outrage and accusations of disrespect. The tech mogul has faced backlash for trying to throw light on India's potential in global development, with his words being interpreted as bringing India down to a testing ground.

In the podcast, Gates said, "India is an example of a country where there's plenty of things that are difficult there - the health, nutrition, education is improving and they are stable enough and generating their own government revenue enough that it's very likely that 20 years from now people will be dramatically better off and it's kind of a laboratory to try things that then when you prove them out in India, you can take to other places." He added further, "And so our biggest non-US office for the Foundation is in India and the most number of pilot roll out things we're doing anywhere in the world are with partners in India."

Gates received a bard of reactions from users. Many social media users expressed their feelings in the comments, considering the words from Gates undignified and reducing India into a mere testing ground of global experiments. One user on X (formerly Twitter) said, "India is a laboratory, and we Indians are Guinea Pigs for Bill Gates. This person has managed everyone from the Government to opposition parties to the media. His office operates here without FCRA, and our education system has made him a hero! I don't know when we will wake up!"

Another user said that Gates views people in India as subjects for experimentation, meaning that successful initiatives are later adopted in the US. The user wrote, "The human beings in India are samples for Bill Gates’ laboratory to try things and once they are proven to be effective, taken to the US. This clip doesn’t sound right no matter in what context you hear this. That’s why research backed by governments can often have vested interests."

However, not all responses were negative. Some defended Gates, arguing that his comment was misinterpreted. One user wrote, "I genuinely don't understand this conspiracy theory attitude against Bill Gates in India. There's no guinea pig-style experiments for vaccines happening in India, period!"

Earlier this year, Gates visited India and met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where he praised the country's efforts to address malnutrition. He described India's recognition of its challenges as “impressive,” stating, “For its income level, India deserves an A for its focus on solving nutritional issues.”

Of course, Bill Gates the vaccine merchant. He also happens to be a very good friend of the PAP regime.

Maybe one day we will find out how heavily the PAP regime (Temasek?) is involved with Bill Gates' NGOs: Gavi and CEPI.
