When I was young and in schools I attended few public functions of RSS in Shivaji park in Mumbai. One of them was presided by Shri. Guruji Golwalkar. At the background of the podium it was written that - विजय ही विजय है ( It's all triamph) and as a scholboy I just wondered what it means. Now at the ripe age of post 60 years what it means. It was meant to develop a confidence in nation that - We can do it. Now at this age I am glad that I ses glimpse of it... We will do it to become a Vishwaguru.
After Jaishankar sir 's podcast, this is the next podcast that has made me think about the India I want to leave for my son. People like him give me confidence that things will be different. Kudos for this excellent podcast
From Chennai , Tamil Nadu. I standby his ideas. India needs to progress. We now have the highest level of confidence among fellow Indians and we will do better than in the past. Jai Hind.
This has been the most impactful podcast I have heard in your series of podcasts. Shaurya and his thoughts, ideas and convictions have brought such a lot of pride and self esteem in my person, it is difficult for me to even begin to explain. I am from the same era as you and Shaurya, and I always had this niggling thought at the back of my mind regarding our national mindset, why is it that we - as a society - have no pride in our own work, why don't we celebrate our own achievements and value our own civilization? Why do we always need "White" validation to applaud ourselves and consider ourselves worthy. Thank you Smita Prakash, for having this Conversation.
To be honest RSS sounds more sensible and forward looking than many other BJP people especially in the online space. For a large and diverse country like ours any attempt to impose an ideology will fail. The best way forward is through open exchange of ideas and fair play to all view points from hindu rashtra to communism and different shades of secularism in between. Personally am an atheist, so i think secularism is very important and should be preserved.
Agreed. Secularism in its true meaning and form should prevail not what congress used to practice in the name of secularism. Many of the hindu extremism we see today is a direct result of such filthy politics.
Communism is anti diversity and democracy, communist manifesto and das kapital officially advocate banning foe, corporatised family system is the worst thing to happen in india we need to allow prenupitals etc too, u r intellectually dishonest secularlism and bias for muslim, christian and sikh viewpoints and not understanding the dangers of one or ALL just for hating the other, funding etc be it by anyone are two very different things, what is progressive in your opinion just hijacking resources and wanting a forced labour class?
I had seen Shree Ajit Doval in Surrey in 2014/ 2015 when he was with the PM and I had screamed his name to which he was courteous enough to acknowledge it by waving his hand.
You can stop an invading army, but not an Idea whose time has come - VH The idea of a progressive, intellectual, prosperous and can do bharat, which is proud of its ancient origins and heritage has come. Excellent conversation.
My grandfather used to say we are a developing country, my father says that we are a developing country. I am sure that I will say to my grandson that we are a developing country, not a developed high income country. thank you for the productive podcast.madam could you please invite an expert who will give a realistic opinion about Indian education system mainly government schools and reforms needed in place for greater India
Thank you ANI for this episode . Wow I appreciate the thought process of mr doval who brings a experience of global exposure, and agree to the perspective he says for bhartiya to march ahead with self confidence self reliance and conviction in it. 🙏🙏🙏
Very enjoyable discussion on evolving India from the cycle of darkness to a promising future.Thanks to Smita ji for conducting a soul searching talk with an educated nationalist.
Absolute truth, the journey has just begun, we have to travel a lot more to transform ourselves from the Colonial mindset to the Nationalist mindset. We are improving and we cannot sleep, The 2024 elections are crucial, hope we give the best mandate for the NDA government yet again so that the journey continues and our future generations see the fruits.
Very sensible, I had. It hear him so far and he absolutely makes sense. I see that confidence in an average Indian who believes he/she can do things which they didn’t thought of few years ago. The leadership has provided that feel, platform to the citizens.
Excellent. Hope every parent of Bharatavarsha produces such sons of calibre and have such deep love for their country. Jai Hind Jai ho Bharat Jai Hind!!!!
Shaurya is so right in the way he explained the difference between his success and pariwaar wadi concept how it is different. Anyone with common knowledge would understand it easily.
It's really nice to see a person who doesn't mince words. He is very very clear about what he stands for , like proud of our past and wants young minds to introduce them to such knowledge.
Doval Ji's time is better utilised in National/Civilizational/Public interest far better away from the shameless useless, self bashing, distasteful media that our country has. Even if he comes, engaging with a nationalist media channel such as The Jaipur Dialogues would empower, attract youth and sync the aspirational energy of nation with the larger and more civilizational causes.
Thank you Smita, I somehow missed this episode. So powerful. So inspiring. Shaurya is icon oh his own strength. People like me are still encumbered by fears. Seeing Modi ji is inspiring, he is talking about 2047! Like him I want to work till the last, be strong, have the critical thinking, and have grand visions. I want to do something amazing for Indian tourism.
Hi Smitha, a request for the coming "Podcast" , can you interview Agriculture and Tourism ministry. I think we need to hear from them too what is their contribution to our economy. I trust these 2 segments can hugely contribute to increase our GDP. We can see the work done from Mr.Gadkari, Mr.Piyush Goyal, Mr.Ashwini ... however the important ministry of Agri and Tourism should be successful to have a robust economy.
Excellent discussion! Highly relevant for some of us working at the intersection of policy, academia, and practice without being highly and predictably critical of the current government.
After enduring a millennium of invasions and slavery, we've developed a resilience comparable to the preparation for vaccines which is prepared from antigen to protect against the antigens. Our strength has grown through the adversities we've faced, and regardless of who governs in the next 50-100 years & that will prevail for next millenniums, we are poised to flourish.
Good discussion. One correction, Dr. Manmohan Singh DID NOT get punished after his inaction, UPA still won the LS elections. That says a lot about Indians. I do not think there are many countries around the world who will elect the same Govt who presided over such a humiliation.
As usual Smita, great discussion. Always fun to listen to these "young" people. I am calling them young as the average age of our political class would be over 60. The numbers of India GDP is shocking. Congress and these presstitutes ruined this country.
Top notch and huge respect to Shaurya Dobhal, if he can exhibit and repeat the hugh contribution of his father to Bharat, then Bharat would be truly blessed. It's also heartening to note that he has joined BJP, and is running a foundation funded by RSS that ensures that future of Bharat is in safe hands. And now I feel Bharat achieving 20 Trillion$ Economy looks a achievable target. 🙏👋 Jai Shri RAM
SELF PRIDE, SELF BELIEF....is true starting point. I 💯 % agree with Shourya....how IAF was operating in 80'$ vs today. I am a witness. I left India 🇮🇳 cos I was hopeless in 2000.......today I feel totally different. PROUD 👏 OF MY BHARAT What changed???? Language, self respect and VISION
I would really wish one more change in our attitude which is towards the corruption, we must also inculcate the principle of honesty and integrity among everyone specially the children, youths who are aspiring to be in civil services, in the area of public or private services in the area of management, engineering and other influential areas for not getting cowed down by any corrupt individual or group who are trying to pressurize these people.
👏👏👏🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👌💐‼️ The future of the nation will be in good hands! Unselfish and service minded people the nation needs he is an example of it! There is one running the country now with such values! Gandhian vulgarity of passivity that was the position of Mr Manmohan Singh was appreciated by Friedman. The guy had nothing to lose!
I have been watching your podcast for very long , i haven't seen any of them coming to your program and have to answer such questions. This itself is testimony of their what we know/call them . I remember someone asked Raul " Nadda said so " his answer was " who is Nadda ? Is he my professor?? " ...since then i have been trying to know "who's his professor? Or he listened to no one and will thus answer no one ".
When an idea matures, when there is a set of ideas accumulated for a while, space is created for new ideas! See for instance, this guest's father has had a golden opportunity to look and learn from his father!
Absolutely agree , it’s utmost important to have self esteem & we have started believing & progressing towards the Vishwa Guru🙏 Love & respect to the guest 🙏
Ms Smita, I have noticed that you have done an episode with Sadhguru. So please do an episode with Sri M as well. Once you read his spectacular bestseller - Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master, you will have no alternative but to invite Him! Please do us this favour. Footnote : I am wondering how you do not become ill after consuming Politics day in and day out for years at a stretch ! 😃
Very well argued !Despite all plus points claimed by Dr. Man Mohan Singh, it was an utter failure and a glaring example of inaction on part of India in the light of the so-called 26-11 of India!
Thank you Smita Ji for getting a person of substance. A superb podcast. I gained a great deal... It's not Parivarvad that I am against. It's the compromise of MERITOCRACY on the alter of Parivadvad or Jativad or Reservations. I had stopped viewing ANI for a month because of the guests, not because of Smita Ji.
I believe RSS leaders make lot more sense in their discourses n views than many leaders say in Cangress party or other dynastic caste based laloo panju parties
Always enjoy your podcast , but a non Hindi speaker, I am seriously handicapped whenever the guests switch to Hindi in between. I hope English subtitles will be added whenever the switch occurs.
