Respected Prof. Hoodbhoy, I have great respect for you for your vast scientific knowledge and very very liberal mindset. I am also a so called liberal person with vast interest in Science ,particularly in Physics(in which you have Mastered). But prof. i have noticed in several of your youtube interviewes that you had criticised "GEETA"and UPANISAD".Franckly speaking i have no problem with your criticism because you have 100 percent rights to do so.But my only humble request to you that as a great scholor like you, kindly try to gain some inner knowledge before criticising it.1 to 2 years back I had also the same problem.But after watching thousands of videos of Swamy Sarvapriyananda and Acharya Prashant(INDIAN BOARD TOPPER, IIT DELHI and IIM Ahmedabad alumnus and Former IAS and CAT Exam Topper), I can make a clear demarcation between Religion and Spiritualism and what is religion? It is true that some so called illiterate religious leaders have make a mockery of GEETA and UPANISAD but prof. if you really really go through it then you can make a clear insight of these two Great Epic Books. Wishing a good health for you and your families.
I wrote to you from Denmark to tell you, that I asked my wife, who was visiting Pakistan, to buy the book for me. She bought it, and now I have it. Will be more rewarding to read it now, after having seen all the episodes here. Proud of you sir.
29:04 again no examples from India. Has had a Sikh pm, muslim president, innumerable muslim chief ministers, Christian chief ministers, atheist chief ministers and one atheist PM (Nehru).
Talking Rubbish...Hindu prime minister in UK... Black prime minister in USA....o bhai jan those countries are not made on religion...can you see any Israeli arab or Israeli christen prime minister or president in Israel ??no because Israel is a Jewish country and it's not allowed in their constitution
Depressing, disheartening, demoralizing and utterly disgusting the conditions in Pakistan as discussed. My heart goes out to the majority of people who are held hostage to this medieval dispensation.

Sir,Arab religion of Mecca-Medina has two main constituents ; ethnic Arabs( 5% ), non-Arabs ( 95% ). Difficulties have existed for latter over the entire period of the religion and persist to date due to their diversity.
