East vs west -- the myths that mystify | Devdutt Pattanaik 

Webconomist we have an ancient sanskrit phrase "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" = the whole world is one family. This phrase truly reflects the culture, religion, view point and character of all people of this great land.

We need to expel islam from India

@@cottoncandy7847 ------MUSLIMS IN INDIA----- In 1947 after partition of the Indian subcontinent two countries were created India ( for Hindus) and Pakistan ( for Muslims) but then indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru decided that india should be a secular country. He forcefully putted his own believes on the majority of population without even asking them. He don't even know that secularism can't be one sided. It's like an abusive relationship where wife loves her husband but husband don't. Muslim holy book Quran teach about discrimination against non Muslim people or even killing idol worshippers. Muslim girls can't even marry non Muslim boys. So this kind of one sided secularism is bound to fail because muslim don't even believe in secularism. Didn't we learn from history? Is another partition waiting for us? Because of his Idiocracy we are in this position. Indian muslim's loyalty stands for Saudi Arabia not for india. Why we simply fail to acknowledged this? Indian hindus are tolerant history is a living proof. we wholeheartedly welcomed Persian from Iran ( after muslim conquest Zoroastrian came to india to escape prosecution) we wholeheartedly welcomed Jews from Israel and they completely live in peace in India for many centuries. Their believes don't teach about killing other religious people that's why they are well accepted in India society and they contributed a lot but muslims are different ballgame. They want different laws, they call non Muslims as kafir( inferior). If we don't ask them tough questions then who will? Why we ( left liberals) fear to question them? How long can we tolerate this? If we don't act today then it'll be too late to act in the future. So what's the solution? 1. Completely ban Madrasa 2. Completely ban marrying 4-5 wives to control the population. 3. Reeducate them like what china is doing. Try to Indianize Islam. Reform the holy book Quran. That's the long term solution. 4. Teach every muslim about APJ Abdul Kalam and his teachings. It'll De Radicalise their thought process and they will try to respect non Muslims.

Very common among Indian children.

I was told when I was 8 still remember it clearly....

Have you guys heard of half-baked-truth & presenting one-side-of-the-story. This is what this is all about. Obviously, we all know now, about the real numbers which can be, so many, between the binary zeros & ones, which of course is, BUT the truth even in the western mathematicals. You should hear about the rest, of the incident of Alexander, after coming to India and meeting the so-called Gymnosophist. Very interesting about how someone who is so methodical & barbaric(to say) in having to conquer so many lands/kingdoms, with so many wars, would just return back from India, after meeting a Gymnosophist. Obviously, he has had a taste or experience of/for something for having to fall-back and away, from something that his mom had ingrained in him and having to have the rock roll back !

Exactly. Life and death are a part of journey.

But where is this journey leading to ? Are v just going to around in never ending circles without a destination ever . Scares the daylights out of me

Life is a journey whose destination is to merge with param brahma or in other words attain moksha.

Someone once told me to see life as a scene of a bigger story 🎞.

He is a fake expert. He does not understand any of the Indian texts properly nor has knowledge of Sanskrit language to interpret them. Stay safe from such pseudo experts.

That's impossible, simply because he is BLIND AS A BAT as far as the Sanskrit language is concerned, and the lousy part is that he still brazenly comments on it on matters that have been originally created in this language! He sounds brilliant in parts, but then, with such a terrible shortcoming, his practice begs a question ... WHAT'S HIS AGENDA???!!

@@TheSrij he knows more than you who just learn from serial

his confidence with what he says ,seems he have visited past himself . He is a half baked cake who things himself as the best of all ,nothing more to be done

this guy believes he is the one and only truth and explaining indian history

its true man..

OMG started again.! This is exactly what he was trying to explain.! Youre born in india you find India being more meaningful., If youre born in America youll find america being more meaningful. So you'll say you're right, and they'll say they're right. It'll never stop. So lets not waste our time arguing and start visiting some countries to know their lifestyle in their own way. Knowledge is wisdom.! There's no india or any country. There's only one planet with different idealogies. The more we explore, the more peaceful we'll be.

@@jayavinu795 Knowledge Is Not Wisdom! Fools Also Knows Alot of Things! VADIC SCHOOLS OF THOUGHTS!

philip glass and shankar

i feel it is opposite, i think he was trying to say that an indian is never sure because there are thousand possible outcomes of what can be right or wrong. and if you know your actions are going to catchup in your next life then you will behave properly. But things are changing now, the country atleast in the cities are becoming more western.

You should watch again from 16:55 onwards.

Collective society

are you stating that the only universal truth is that there is no universal truth?

may be.. who knows

Soumyo Mukherjee the oath of the vayuputras

Academic Hindu Phobia

Are you some white washed wannabe???

Kay Rai "Self-criticism is an art not many are qualified to practice"- Joyce Carol Oates. I don't think it has anything to do with western sycophancy. In fact if you look around the world the less a society/ community/ religion is self critical of itself, less progressive they are.

I think you can't expect everyone whether from western world or eastern world to behave according to their culture. There will always be people who will find it difficult to fit in their own culture.

@@avinashasitis the idea of progressiveness is subjective

Yeah, the problem is not in being critical, of one self, ones culture or ones country. the problem arises when you criticize something without even attempting to 'understand' it.

That's your view point...your world

Now I found more foreigners than indians in the comment section Back then there were no foreigner Interesting

maya n...... Hinduism is not mythology

maya n... He quoting Hinduism in wrong way by saying myth.... Basically Hinduism is based on science, philosophy, mantra, yog etc

Mindra rules he has also his own view about "what is mythology "plz plz plz fellow him properly.

That statement itself is false.

Not soul. Body

yep, interestingly all abrahamic faiths evolved in desert one after the other. they have quite materialistic, definite & strict view towards life while faiths from the old world are pretty lenient that way.

We also have same type of philosophy in India also Sage Charbak is an example of that. I urge U to learn about his philosophy.

@Wreck Tangle yeh because we r a land of seekers not beleivers i hope the world adores this concept of vedic ppl

@Wreck Tangle and he meant pop culture it is not appropriately a western classic phenomena but a strange one

@Wreck Tangle I don't see how thats similar

@Wreck Tangle you are a smart person. I don't agree with him either. We should at least understand every culture, believing is a different thing but should at least try to understand other cultures too

An answer to this would also be: 'it depends... on the context, amplitude and frequency of head shaking'. In some parts of the country, it is 'yes' as you must have observed with some people. In other parts, it is not specific. Slow and high angular amplitudes represent a naive but definite yes. Slow, staggering, and relatively small amplitudes represent 'may be'. Faster and smaller amplitudes represent 'yes', with respect. But I am also aware of the fact that these are general guidelines, but you might come across some people, whose gestures do not exactly mean what I mentioned. The context-based meanings can be derived only with experience. :)

did you remember this in 2020? what do you think about this video now?

Mahanth Ashok so true!

yes, you are true they don't understand.

there is no such thing called philosophy in Indian culture ... philosophy is a western concept because it comes from morality and morality brings dogmatic religions ... indians always focused on consciousness and experience

did you remember this in 2020? or you stll believe this?

@@narasimharaotanuku9304 so sorry, but what exactly are u trying to imply?

@@Sk-jm4hm Thank you for checking ! Just that, there is more to the story & logic. Please do not subject to yourself or conclude or agree with this short talk. Please explore more.

@@narasimharaotanuku9304 I agree, there's always more, and this is just a snip of that magnificent story but knowing the whole story not always much matter..what matters is what u gain then it could b just from a snip or from whole.
