First we need to break the back of English from India, to awaken "english language slaves" of India . Can't Imagine "bhartiya arthvyavastha" is controlled by "English" ? SHAME!!!! 200 years we didn't even know what "English" is yet, we controlled 30% world economy through trade. And 100% of Indian economy is controlled by our own languages. SHAME!! SHAME!!
perfectly said .. indians who have not stayed abroad and not understood western thoughts and opinion can never envision such things... with a low self esteem and contempt for one's own skin color .. u can barely achieve a goal..

First and foremost, Indians must be taught their history as it was and not as per convenience in the garb of creating harmony. If you teach me that a brutal Mughal like Aurangzeb was a builder and secular, then I will start loving the killer of my ancestors and start thinking that there is some fault within us that we were enslaved by Mughals and then the British. If if don’t learn our history in its entirety and as it happened, then we will become naive enough that this slavery history will be repeated with us.
I have always cringed since my childhood about the anti-Hindu and anti-Indian propaganda starting from the history books taught in the classroom. But now when I see the rebuttals from the likes of Mr. Rajeev Malhotra gives me such relief and satisfaction... Now we are fighting on all fronts and we will will, why? Because 'Styamev Jayate', Jai Hind, Vande Mataram!
What SRM has contributed to Sanatana Dharma in recent times is unparalleled and we need more people to stretch and attempt in playing a second fiddle to his line of thoughts through actions. It is one thing to clap hands and say Rajiv Sir you are awesome, it is another thing to start small, stretch and become an Intellectual Kshatriya. Let us push ourselves into action.
Mr Malhotra , for the first time, I find someone who is able to call the bluff of Western intellectual hegemony, in the same language in which they can understand. I MUST SAY Rajiv Malhotra is the greatest living Indologist philosopher, who calls a spade a spade. But, leftist intellectuals of India can't tolerate his straightforward , down to earth logic. This is really unfortunate. Actually, even when they are made to see the plain truth ( of intellectual hegemonistic politics), most of these so called intellectuals do not have the intellectual integrity to walk the talk of the post-modernist concept of "doing unto them, what they have done to us'. Yes, China has been able to do it by flexing its muscles. Ultimately, it is a matter of not only resources, but also of getting over our own defeatist , escapist, mind-set of not getting too involved in countering subtle and unfair intellectual assaults. '

To save hinduism first thing we need is a hindu nation . without nation hindus have no future . This simple fact no-one talks about . Look at Israel nation of few jews and how they are able to save their culture and people .
"peace loving" everyone wants peace but if you want peace then you better have a strong army. This satyagraha nonsense was started by Mahatma Gandhi. The British didn't leave India because of Gandhi but because of Netaji who started the INA and was fighting the British.
True but the British were losing horribly to the Germans. And that's why they left because they couldn't sustain their colonies in India. However I'm grateful that a great man like netaji was born here 🙏
But i just dont understand one thing..... Plz correct me if im wrong...i have no intention to question rajiv sir's thought in a bad intention but i dont understand one thing.... Why rajiv sir said like i ran companies abroad and im that kindof guy u can call me that i command them....isnt that much like the harsh way and that we r acting like westerners ? And at some video he said that our rajas were good and they only restored their swarajya and they never went to rule other countries....not bcuz they werent advance but bharatiyas are the only kindof people from which u can expect such good qualities..... Doesnt rajiv sir comment make these look little weak ? Plus in some videos he says that dictator ideology in india came from outter forces,then how we should act like them ? Ik in this video he saying that is exact we cant act like them but not bcuz we shld but we r weak but the main goal is to do wat they did to us,isnt it is wrong according to our bharatiyas ethics of breaking others empires by means of keeping evil nature like westerners..... I guess its about those he was talking about who r doing adharma.... Again im just getting these questions but no hate at all with all due respect 🙏 I thought to ask someone inorder to clear my paranoia....if it exists....
You are awesome Rajivji......many thanks in taking your time and efforts in the revival and promoting Hinduism.....lively speech indeed...BHARAT MATA KI JAI..........agree INDIANS should never have the defeatist attitude..
I found answers to many of things which were puzzling to me. I used to wonder why is mr. Malhotra not taking a stand. Now I see that Mr. malhotra has thought of these issues. And I understand the many aspects I had not thought of. I am glad I listened to this talk.
Sir you are a rare gem of India. Plz accept my salutations. 🙏. I feel a huge impact of yours in shaping of my thought process. Though I am listening you for 3-4 months. Though I have heard about you quite long ago. I have the same feelings about India right from my childhood days though not in a very solid form. But I have read about many indian cultural reformers from my childhood.
Thank you, Mr. Malhotra, for your movement. The Nehru Gandhi dynasty has been as destructive in 70 years as the Islamic invasion over 700 years and the British rule over 200 years. Finally, we are coming out of it but the JNU types are still very ingrained in all aspects of India (academia, government, judiciary, media, entertainment, etc.) and it will need an army of khastriyas with a leader like you to make some progress.
Mr rajiv lately I have been really concerned about our colonial hangover and this inferiority complex in Indians about their own country. but I really want to know what can any individual do to change this.
Bring more Sanatan values in your life, do some spiritial practices daily and keep looking how you can contribute. Sonner or later you will find a path.🙏
I was of the understanding that Dharma teaches us "Neti Neti" a form of deconstruction; and also the ability to see many paths or pluralism to God, hence the many symbols of many religions are abstract attempts at the divine and therefore in a postmodern sense the many narratives are abstract and can never do justice to reality.
1.See that is where post modernist and modern science go wrong(not equating both! one is pseudo-science/nescience and the other is science! but both fail to realize the nature of ultimate reality), they get trapped in their own argument/thinking. 2.Here is a good read about that "Vidyaranya Swami's panca viveka and ThomasAquinas' quinque viae in the Light of Today's Science" by Klaus k Kolstermaeir. This research paper gives a good argument how "advaita/dharma" realizes the ultimate reality which let alone some social science theory(nescience) but science itself fails to comprehend/understand. 3.Also, science is at least trying to get there but social theories fail even in grasping transient reality let alone the ultimate. 4.Dharma teaches "Neti Neti" as an logic (a particular type of vichara/meditation to employed over the way to self-realization). You do not deconstruct everything with it. You only use "neti neti" at certain level where you are stuck, "neti neti" offers a good technique for progression. 5.Oh another big difference, dharma offers a system of study, practical/tested out tools, whose effects is reproducible by anybody who under goes it for self-realization/ultimate reality comprehension. The social theory offers only deconstruction which ultimately percolates to political thinking adding more to problems and nothing else 6. Also, these social science theories and for that matter science have their origins in Dharma itself, but in a very distorted way that they lack consciousness in them (This statement might make me sound like right wing hindu but its not. I can't explain it, too big a topic. You need to get into analysis of pre-historical facts and proto-history upto 21st century history of propagation of ideas around the world, of course such an analysis should be free of euro-centrism )
Thank you for that response! For six years I have been studying and I've found myself on Advaita, Dharma, Jnana Yoga, meditation and hatha yoga. I'm still an infant and eventually I'd like to spend some time at an Ashram, I've been looking at Anandmurti Gurumaa and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, but I would prefer like direct tutoring rather than darshan at a distance so I'll have to find somewhere I can learn, if you have any suggestions let me know.
Farhan Qureshi..."Neti...Neti" is not a deconstruction but to know that "sathyam or truth" is "not this not this" because we are mostly associated with "material existence" and "vedanta or upanishad" says so when there is a seeker..."dharma" doesnt teach this...remember "dharma" is required for the manifested and for the unmanifested there is no "dharma"...om namah sivaya
When we never did purva paksha of an ideology we do not know them . I am very sad by low level intellect of questions being asked . Whether you like it or you do not like it they consider you as enemy . Where is the choice , we have always stood against Adharma , unfortunately people do not put in effort to give explanation like Krishna gave to Arjuna .
The question or rather the response to it was very enlightening. We should thank her for it. It was not a low-level intellect question, rather a naive one and lets not forget 99% of us are equally naive about the kurukshetra. She came up front and boldly asked it and we should appreciate it. Sometimes it takes a simplistic question to reveal a great truth in the response.
राजीव जी, बिल्कुल सत्य कहा, भगवान राम, श्री कृष्ण ..... ने भी आधर्मी के सामने मानसिक, शारीरिक युद्घ करना पडा था, तो हमे भी हर हंमेशा करना होगा, खुद का अस्तित्त्व के लिए । शत शत नमन आपको राजीवजी । 🙏🇮🇳🚩🙏🇮🇳🙏🚩🇮🇳🙏🚩
Rajiv sir giving a pragmatic response to a prepared question which had no sense at all together. That’s what education system here bring in the minds of like her, from decades we have been taught wrong hero’s who made India.
"Very engaging lecture, my question has got two parts, please excuse my lack of knowledge, but as far as my knowledge of the Indian civilization goes we have always been a peace loving culture-" Shiv ji, Rama ji, Durga Ma, Lakshmi Ma, Sri Vishnu and countless other Hindu Gods and Godesses have entered the chat.
I just came across your video on RU-vid "Leftist Goons Part 2 by Rajiv Malhotra" and fell in love with your work.. I would like to understand or see a video from you on 'effects of wrong school education on diminishing Indian / Hindu values or detachment to our roots'.
Peace loving Indians perished in Afghanistan Pakistan and Bangladesh. Most of the nonviolent believers like Buddhists, Hindus and Zoarastrians had weak Kings, insufficient armies and general "all is good" attitude. Those kings and royals had a knack for music, art, poetry but not for self defense. Those kingdoms fell and now they don't agree with us and detach themselves for the culture and heritage. They disowned their history and ancestors.
I agree with Rajiv. Indian culture is about seeking truth no matter how expensive, not being content with lies, no matter how convenient they are. And that includes stereotyping, hero worship and blind followership. Think about it. If you can answer honestly to yourself that you are indeed a truth seeker in everything you do, you are a formidable Hindu or Intellectual Kshatriya as Rajiv calls them
Astounding uncluttered reply to someone who asks questions like an automaton. The key point is West is expansionist and has the wherewithal to mount cultural attacks on the other countries. India just has no experience in such cultural aggression. Buddhist monks walked singly for india to other countries to spread Buddha’s teachings. Hinduism is not even a missionary religion. Hindus should give up cultural laziness and study their own Dharma and other religions and schools of thought, irrespective of what their profession is.
सर जी आप सही बोले लेकिन '" ज्ञान'' ऐसी चीज होती हैं, खासकर इस देश में उच्च से आम किसान भी समझ सकें , ऐसी भाषा में बोलना चाहिए, हम भारतवर्ष में रहते हैं, यहां 90% को अंग्रेजी भी नहीं आती हैं। भारत से बाहर की बात हो , तो अलग बात है।,,,,,,,,,,,,,जब भारत देश के प्रति अगाध प्रेम की बात होती है , तो महान तपस्वी महापुरुष श्री राजीव दीक्षित जी की बातें याद आती है। रूसी, जापानी, चाइना जैसे अनेक देशों के लोग अपनी मातृभाषा में बोलने में गर्व महसूस करते हैं, हमे यह प्रयास करना चाहिए। कोई भी देश अपनी मातृभाषा से ही विकास के उच्चतम शिखर पर पहुंच सकता है,यह हम विकास शील देशों की सूची देख सकते हैं।रब हम किसमे झाड़े,रब झाड़ना हो हमें अपनी मातृभाषा से झाड़ना चाहिए।,,,,,,,,,,जो इस देश के लिए सच था वह मैंने कहा, इसमें थोड़ी भी सच्चाई न हो तो माफ़ करना, ,,,, वन्दे मातरम्,,,
Sir, I think you should make one video with baba ramdev too, like you have made with shri shri ravishankaracharya ji and general bakshi ji.......please sir☺
This is the first thing all should be taught.... right from high school. But before that all adults should unlearn about peace loving to Truth learning. Very well said...RM.
Bharat has a lot of intelligent and clever people but many are without Shree Rajiv's guts and dedication to Bharat and protect its identity. The worst part is that most Indians want to become like Europeans in every way as they believe sun shines out of their backside. For example, just look at the call centres in India. when you phone from abroad they identify themselves with English/Latin names. It is a tragedy that most learned Indians do not realise what Bharat has to offer in terms of literature, languages, etc.
After listening to the Rajivji's response, the questioner may have first time ever realised in her life about the shallowness of her ideas and school of thought or she would never ever realise it.
एक और बात है, जब हम भारत की शांति प्रिय और अहिंसा की बात करते हैं, तो मुझे गाँधी याद आते हैं| उन्होंने ने साफ़ साफ़ कहा था की अहिंसा का मतलब ये नहीं की passive हो जाओ| वैसे तो मल्होत्रा जी ने अछे से समझा दिया हम धार्मिक हैं सच्चाई प्रिय हैं पर फिर भी अगर समझ ना आया हो तो ये अंतर समझना आवश्यक हो जाता है एक और रूप से देखा जा सकता है इसको, रिश्तों के नज़रिए से| In relationships there is a concept called boundaries. If you have a friend, and you are kind to them, it is good. But being nice is not the same. Being nice means you are not setting boundaries. It doesn't actually show your goodness. It shows ulterior motive. और शान्ति प्रिय होने के लिहाज़ में देखें तो इसका तात्पर्य हुआ की आप अहिंसा में विश्वास करें, पर दूसरों को अपने ऊपर हावी न होने दें| कोई गलत करे तो सह्तेय्मत रहें, जवाब दें| जवाब देना, पूर्वपक्ष करना ही दर्शाता है की आप उनकी इज्ज़त करते हो!
........in those days every turmoil that is showing out NOW were ash covered fire........ those days were really boiling hot and kept down under pressure or waiting for opportunity....
I came across a lot of Indian chaps in Toronto who love to sound clever talking about post modernism.Facinating to observe whereas on the one hand the the the listeners are in awe because they don't understand what this Indian fellow is saying; precisely because there is nothing to be understood about gibberish.
Not a single form of the God in Sanatan Dharm is without a weapon! Even Sannyasis carry "Dand" etc which is imbibed without spiritual tantric powers even now. What does this fact tell you!? ♠️
Why are we always given the burden of accepting every doctrine and religion and philosophy, while demonizing our desire to preserve some of our own traditions. This should not be a one way traffic? Why is it that people who want to remain attached to their roots are ridiculed and looked down upon? This isn't right. We do need to start asserting ourselves again.
A peace loving culture, we definitely are, but seeing the tone of her voice, she seems to highlight a sense of pacifismismic strategy which has been "practiced" in our civilization from centuries also known as, Soft Dharma also known as Ahimsa Parmo Dharma, which is actually an ideology of the last Guru of the Jains Mahavira, not any Hindu god/esses are present which believe in pacifism/tolerating torture. It is only because of Aadi Shankaracharya ji that we survived the Buddhist peace wave, providing questions to the masses about their lifes, but with no answers whatsoever.
