He earned the Guinness World Record for the most radios collected — 1,257. And he now has 1,400 radios in his collection, models from the 1920s to year 2000. Take a look at the story of Ram Singh Bough, his 10-year passion, and his desire to establish a museum for his collection that would hopefully help young people acquaint themselves with the technology that was popular before the advent of smartphones.

00:00I have had this hobby since 1920 to 2000, I have been doing it continuously for the past 10 years.
00:20It is such a hobby that it doesn't let me stop.
00:24One can collect only when one spends his body, mind and money.
00:30Today, people live with their mobile phones.
00:44People didn't live without it.
00:46I have also seen that people are going to their relatives in the fields.
00:50They used to keep their radios with them.
00:53After 1970, the size of radios had become very small.
00:59There was no television at that time.
01:01Television started after 1980.
01:03People used to keep their radios in their pockets and listen to the cricket commentary.
01:07People used to take their radios to their offices and listen to the news.
01:13Then I thought that radio is a very important part of our lives.
01:17If we don't collect it, what will we say to the future generation?
01:23Then I decided to collect it.
01:29All the newspapers have said that I am the Radio Man of India.
01:32But since the Guinness Book of World Records, I have become the World Radio Man.
01:37I feel very good because I have the largest number of radios in the world.
01:42I am the first person in the world with a population of 8 billion.
01:48I had a tube radio from 1920 to 1965.
01:56It used to run on electricity.
02:00It used to heat up for 3-4 minutes and then it would catch fire.
02:04I had 100 radios at that time.
02:08After 1965, when the solid state was invented,
02:13the plate of the radio was removed.
02:18The size of the radio used to be very big.
02:21But due to the solid state, the size of the radio has become small.
02:25The radios have become cheaper.
02:27And the number of radios has increased.
02:29I have decided that this organization should be good.
02:32Delhi is only 100 km away from Delhi.
02:35So many people will come and see.
02:38Our children, the younger generation, will be able to watch the radio.
02:44Otherwise, people like us did not try.
02:47In the future, you will be able to watch the radio on the internet.
02:54And it will be lost.
