One more thing to notice is Rahul's use of language, through code-switching, is noteworthy. He speaks in Hindi to discuss Agniveer to connect with army aspirants primarily from the north while using English to address the issue of NEET to reach people across India. Simply amazing.
Both his AGNIVEER and NEET observations have been expunged as factually incorrect 😂 This is not a political rally to fool the gullible voters through a sting of lies and fake schemes. Inside the Parliament you are expected to maintain decorum and be factually correct. If you people are happy at lies being thrown at you, God save your tribe 😊
@@ashiqmuhammed8942 There was a cartoon in Manorama weakly: @ “Bobanum Moliyum “ ,Boban and Moly ! Rahul and Priyanka remind me that cartoon. They are jokers and those who are enjoying are running behind them.
@@Dadasahab1234 Rahul didn’t mock any religion, he took jibes at BJP. Attacking and ridiculing BJP and Modi ji is not equivalent to mocking Hindu religion.
A Vaishnav cannot object to the photo of Shiva. At the same time - he made the point that all Hindus cannot be put in the same box. Masterstroke! Also the whole "Modi/BJP/RSS is not the entire Hindu samaj" was spontaneous and came from the heart. BJP members looked shocked😅
Amazing razor sharp analysis of Rahul Gandhi's Speech by Mr Valson Thampu. Hats off to you for giving us such deep insights into such a mammoth speech so astutely crafted by RAHUL GANDHI - a Noble & a Great personality of a human being....!!! ❤
Hon'ble Shri. Rahul Gandhi has proved himself to be a statesman of great vision and integrity to become instrumental in making India the most vibrant democracy in the world. Crores of lovers of our country pray for his good health and long life.
congress election seat of 99 is not democratic.it is the organized vote of minority and lies of giving free money and other facilities.wait for the next election .This is the problem in all over the world .organized vote .look the election result in France. One of the party in UK is keep quiet about the Israeli people killing by Hamas due to vote bank.Democracy will not survive in the future in the whole world
Fr Valson Thampu is on his home ground - pure pleasure watch him doing what he has done (in all probability) to Shakespeare through his academic career with un-measured effect. ! Thank you on behalf of this nation and even the other nations around the world ! The speech, It's an all time classic like 'A Tryst with Destiny ' !
For someone who has seen everything from close quarters power, position, losing family members in a way that none should, being bullied by the top man of the country constantly has made him fearless and outspoken he doesn’t talk gibberish talks sense . You like him or dislike him doesn’t matter but yesterday everyone would have have taken note of him . Absolutely brilliant come back for the opposition members of parliament. RaGa rocks!
He has literally been on street🤪...and once you touch the rock bottom(congress on the whole ) of being on street..One does not care of political positions or social stature 🎉 The best opposition needed timely is fearless leader.
Rahul's sincerety , courage, intellect to understand the reality on ground, was fully expressed in his speech today. It's true that the vulpine cunningness of Modi Sha to lower their dignity to any levels to achieve their selfish, personal goals, will be exposed and laid public in times to come. Time has its own justice .
Thank you Professor Valson for this perspective of Rahul's speech!! Gives an impression that not only Rahul is well read, but he has also imbibed those lessons in his being!!

Happy to subscribe 🎉 Enjoying your Analysis and a pleasure to learn new with every presentation of yours.. without paying college fees 😁(on light note, expressing the joy of learning from Principal himself🌹🌹)
Thank you for giving a foundational perspective on the speech by the LOP. Your insights make the speech contextual to a complex situation politically. Your academic background and wide reading become a means to guide us into the heart of the speech.
Thank you Dr Valson Thampu for 'decoding' Rahul Gandhi's speech in the 18th Lok Sabha as the LOP. It helps us to understand whats going on and behind Rahul Gandhi's message & action: sincerity; valour/ courage; intellectuality [ not the valpine cunningness of a man who can stooped to any level to obtain his goals].] (references to Carlyle).. Much appreciated Perhaps here's an opportunity of returning to debates and discussions in the Parliament once again !
Please continue in the same vein, in the same language. I like this talk not only for the content but also for the language. It is like attending an English class from college days. (These days those speak in English are called Lutyen’s followers or in such denigrating language meaning anti-nationals by the “dehathi” northerners.)😢
How amazingly you have dissected ydays speech of RaGa Br. Thampu! There is more to come from this young man n the country is going to see it. He is the cornerstone of our Nation for sure. He was is n will continue to be persecuted but he will overcome with God's strength power n love. Jai Hind ❤
@@badrinarayanan5139 just google Is Shiva pre vedic god ? Go to Wikipedia and check. Vedas are just a bunch of bullshit made up by brahmins and they kept on editing who is God and goddess as they went along killing people
Brilliant analysis. loved the way he took the audience from known to unknown, from a tangible concept to an abstract ethos. RaGa has shifted the narrative so effectively from religion to spirituality.
Truly amazing schematic demolishing of the concepts erected by the BJP thru the years. To juxtaposition Siva as an ever present deity in the spectrum of hinduisim , that fear is against all faiths , establishing the difference between " GOD' or ' OF GOD ' as against a mortal role of being ' a conduit of GOD's grace ', with clarity and aplomb 🙏
Thankyou Sir. Very educative. You have highlighted/explained why the speech has stunned all ! Growing up, born a Hindu, I used to be bewildered with the numerous Gods and Goddesses in India. I really could not understand. My parents were v nice individuals who did not put any kind of pressure on the children. I can now say that my mother ‘lived the scriptures’
Excellent analysis sir.Now I understand the nuances of Rahul's speech,thanks to you.Waiting for more😊Thanks sir for enlightening us with your depth of knowledge and insight❤
Anyway, the point is that all that you said and spoke about resonated with and within me. I will surely read that book, to learn,understand and move forward. Jai Hind 👍🙏
Finally, I was led into a very beautiful path which mostly focuses on meditation (which is somewhat hard ofcourse). But also teaches a LOT about all aspects of life and living. Cos, obviously, there is no point in having God in our lives and not know how to live life in a manner that keeps you happy and also the people you interact with.
One ‘realizes’ that we need to go ‘within’ ourselves to receive truthful answers about ourselves, life, living, situations etc And on our altars we have a picture of both Krishna and Christ. The path now has people from around the world from different religious backgrounds.
There's a term in history called Divine Monarchy where the Monarchs used to claim that they were chosen by the gods to rule and hence no one could question them. Questioning them meant questioning god and this used to give them more power and create more such lore to not only keep their subjects under fear but also warn their enemies. This is what he was planning to do.
Thank you Rev Valson Thambu for an excellent analysis. Even though whatever was flung at Modi was well deserved & may seem politically smart, I still feel RG could have been more mature & gracious & not humiliated the PM in parliament. When we take away the dignity of our opponent we lose some of our own as well; his words could've been more measured but strong. Also, where was the need to bring pics of Shiva & others in parliament? Shouldn't we be trying to keep the House secular, why are we trying to beat the BJP at this game of religion? All said & done, RG is a very brave man & we are happy for him. But nobody should forget Modi & the BJP are very vengeful & I seriously fear for Rahul Gandhi who has been much maligned by the BJP & is now standing fearless
A commendable analysis of Lop's(Rahul Gandhi) speech by a person of great acumen.I think, it need not be costrued as a paean, but as an expression by a critic, with a sensitive heart, of contemporary politics in India. The hasty anointment of an idol in Ayodhya on the eve of General Election was to provoke religious, sentiments of the majority community of India, and it was an uncalled for performance by a man in power cosidering the ethics of religious amity to be preserved in this Great Country. As such Rahul has every right or responsibility to bring to notice of the country, these things in the appropriate time. Unfortunately, we have seen almost all the leading medias playing a second fiddle to the ' most unkindest cut of all ' by the men in power, perhaps because of the fear of the instruments of power. Anyway,it seems, the Country has passed safely out of the chamber of fear psychosis perpetuated in the name of traditions which haunts memories of hapless millions still held in the dungeons of abject misery. Perhaps, Rahul is lucky of being chosen as a knight to save all the damsels in distress. I am not reluctant to appreciate you, Rev. Dr for your timely response. 👌
You have hit the correct cord on Shaivism and Vishnavism ..Also there is Shakt , which is the path of Mother Divine in Many forms. Pardon me , am sure you are aware but just bringing to your notice that once in Adi Shankaracharya duration ..Shivites and vishnavites threw each others idols / shivling from each others temples .. Such was a feenzy once
What a spontaneous and wonderful, bold speech of Rahul Gandhi! The sanghis stomacks are burning with jealousy. The sanghi MPs shouting exhibit and prove that they are not Hindus whose religion is based on the foundation of Love. That is why Mahatma Gandhi followed ahimsa. Sanghis katthi katthi saavaranunga. They are trying to fix him with rule book. Bjp gangs have no decency and patience. If they listen the points raised by Rahul and ruminate on them impartially if they have thinking ability and brain they will certainly appreciate them. They are like sheeps following another sheep. In the August Assembly of Parliament the sanghis howl like street dogs which was not in commensurate with the high and respectable positions they hold. I have not seen such behaviours in parliaments of other countries.
Historical speach by Rahul Gandhi in the parliament and trying to galvanise our partly fractured society as prevailing to day which has created partition in the society even violence and taking laws in their hands by surpassing laws of the land.
Utube version of Rahul speach appears to be different. From what I heard I seem to have missed some points. The Rahul speech 30:22 was good. However I could not link the intellectual source from which the speech was made. Not sure if dual versions are being distributed in utube.
