The Indian speaker Nalini Nair is my aunt. She pursued her higher education from America. She has always been a source of inspiration. She was modern in thinking despite of invariably being clad in a Saree. She is a retired Professor now. She is happily settled in the US with her children. I was always carried away by her style of conversing in English. It was so articulate. The Pakistani lady is also settled in the US. She was holding a very high position in the UN.

This is an extremely delicate topic, but these 4 debaters made it all the more interesting. I watched it whole with a smile. I loved the frankness and yet a sense of devotion of Rafia. Alice was a bit parochial, and it may be ascertained to her society and the upbringing (not saying in a demeaning sense). John and Nalini are my favourites. There open-mindedness, ability to question one's religion and exercising this liberty in a constructive way had me in there awe. And Nalini pointed it out right: Hinduism was never a religion. People around India were free to practice what they believe in. Shankracharya brought it all under one umbrella as one philosophy; a philosophy of life. Teenagers with such maturity and insight talking about their religion made for a wonderful watch.

[@actuariahl1335]

I agree with you completely.Alice didn’t have a sound argument in search for the truth, which was understandable but, her demeaning attitude for other religions didn’t sit well. Malini and Johnny well articulated their questions and answers while Rafia was caught in the middle of going against devotion.

[@fearyflamingo2660]

Hahahahahahahhaha That BS again "Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life" Hinduism My foot Hinduism is a RELIGION Ancient hindus used to worship idols and other BS They were religious

[@que_93]

​@@fearyflamingo2660 Your laughter and your language says so much about your thoughts, and what has been fed to you in the name of religion. Hindus have worshiped idols even before "Hinduism" was formed by Shankracharya. Every region followed its own customs and traditions, which can still be seen today. If you do not do idol worship, how does it become wrong for others? And why should it? Should they need someone else's approval? What for? In your religion, it will all be counted as blasphemous. Such is the sense of superiority fed to you; such hardline attitude. I can see how your religion has been taught to you, and how tolerant you can be to others who do not identify like yourself. There are such entities in every religion. I admit that. But you said Hinduism is a religion. I must knowledge you that we do not follow one God; we do not follow one book; nothing is a commandment for us that it must be followed; we pray or don't, it is up to us; go to temple or not, it is up to us; explore our options (again, nothing is a binding commandment for us); Karma and Dharma have originated from Hinduism; non-traditional sexual orientations are not criminal as per Hinduism; there is no set of laws "governing" us, at all. I will give you another major point as to why Hinduism is not a religion. Even the name "Hinduism" isn't a binding tag for "Hindus", and is not an indigenous noun, either. Like all things and entities that there are which needs to be tagged to be identified, we have the tag "Hindu." "The other BS" that we pray: well, cows feeds us, nourishes us-- just like our mothers do, and just as we see our mothers as a God, so have we revered cows, too. Even this earth we say as "Mother Earth", or "Goddess Earth". It is an expression of our reverence. Most Hindu kids revered their parents as God, and sometimes even above the Gods that they pray(this is too feeble to be seen today); it is Hindu tradition to refer our teachers and gurus as Gods; the tag is an embodiment of this feeling. And, just to point it out, do you see the uniformity in the practices of other religions all over the world. It is because that is the way it "should be," and that they have been spread in a controlled fashion. But Hindus pray different Gods in different locations, within India. And mind you: I have a Gita, Bible, Quran, copies of other religion's holy books in our prayer room-- laid on the same shelf next to each other. If you do that, it will be blasphemous, and imagine the public's reaction. Hinduism is flexible enough to evolve with time. Not many others can say the same, sadly. And remember, hatred is never born; it is always fed. Every religion has been diluted, corrupted, by the means some fair or unfair means, and Hinduism hasn't been spared either. It is not in the same crude form like it was in the beginning. None of the religions are! It has long been a tool for conflicts, politics, and what not. But amidst the uncountable things that are dividing us, we must look for commonalities to identify with each other. There are far bigger problems than religion. I would not have written this, but I felt I need to answer. Listen to what Rafia has said so beautifully, and I respect her so much. You must too, learn to respect something which you do not agree with. And I will end with this: Hinduism allows us to explore and question; it is a sin in most.

Forced marriages are a matter of concern but not that common. Even if they were, I can still talk about fallacious matters without being compelled to entertain a multitude of whatabouteries justifying anything and everything wrong in this world. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Besides being an Indian doesn't automatically translate to having parents who'll force a matrimonial bond upon oneself.

And extremism is always bad for any community in any way. To counter it you don't need guns but education. Christianity is the best example of this. It was the most radicalized religion in the past but as society had gotten educated, it has mellowed out.

Randomly suggested by youtube and its a hidden gem which should be circulated to see how eloquently can points be put forward and how debates can happen in such a dignified way. Beautiful representation of their own religions and very practical way of questioning it with acceptance. Just wow !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

what a sensible, genuine and rare debate!! Everyone is good. Its difficult to pick favorites but I must say I really like johnny's wise argumentation and sarcasm, rafia ayoob bold & honest views and nalini matured debate. This should be part of the curriculumto school kids !! Kudos to everyone much needed in this highly polarised world!!

[@sandesh9240]

Looks like, at that time grown-up youngsters didn't understand any better than youngsters of today about the concept of God !

[@reneebombom8076]

i must add that i enjoy alice's umm, what's the word for her, innocence i guess. her battle between fear of her mother and her growing skepticism while being articulate (not as much as jhonny, but its good because it shines her innocence more).

[@faisaparveenali9285]

All people here are like "They were so educated, wayyy more than us." Nope. They are the best of the best. You'll find atleast 2-3 such students in almost every school today. It wasn't this common back then. We have many many such students nowadays. But I agree, that the news debates nowadays, meh.

[@papayabandit6355]

finally someone with common sense. probably these people were the elite among the elites .knowledge has become more accessible in the recent times.

Finally someone with common sense. there is no point in Conducting useless debates becase we get nothing from it. it is just a source of entertainment , they were just wasting their time because we all know that nothing has changed and nothing is gong to change.

OMG. I am so surprised by the responses of Indian and Pakistani girls. They questioned everything so well! It is crazily amazing that several years back, they can differentiate between life and God & philosophy and religion! I am sure I wasn't that well learnt at all during when I was of their age!

[@gujarati16]

They are intellectual genetically and culturally. They still have colonial hangover.

[@scriptranda2670]

Because of education system

[@sagarikasuresh]

To see teenagers from India, Pakistan and UK having a civil debate about religion right after independence and partition is beautiful!

[@neerajrhd]

How come partition is beautiful?

[@saifuddin1045]

Diversity is beautiful not the partition.

[@rickbarrington]

All of them would have been young children of 5 years old in 1947. And all of them lived in the United States

[@sagarikasuresh]

@@rickbarrington Yes, but if we as 3rd or 4th generation after the independence are well aware of what the impact was, they definitely are. The impact of 1947 went on for decades with communal riots, partition, Bangladesh and Pak wars so even if they weren't involved in 1947, there was a lot happening in the following few decades (given the hatred between India and Pak and LOC clashes, even now it's a big deal to have a civil debate) Also, none of them are from the US. It's a student exchange in US, they were selected after winning debates in their respective countries. They clearly have accents lol. You can watch other videos on the channel for more clarity.

[@nanilama7016]

Partition was worst and war between different people with different ideologies of country leading millions of death and migration. It's worst Still so many teenage live under poverty We would hab better generation if that partition never held

[@slasherdawn]

I have watched this multiple times but still amazes me! Wonderful debate.

[@bejoykurian2682]

Just amazing to see how they are respecting each other and putting their thoughts across.

[@TarotRider-t2m]

And on social media comments we often see how debates are based on name callings and using slangs.

What a positive debate these people were having back in 1959. I'd say they were light-years ahead.

[@Shokukun]

I mean they are the most elite of elite. Most educated kids in their entire country. Nowadays you will find more kids.Earlier it was like 1 in 20 now it’s 1 in 5. Educated kids are more common. Talk to an extremely start child.

[@subhansk08]

I liked the way they were giggling in between after making contradictory statements against one another because they knew how to react while talking on such sensitive topic. So cool!

[@mynk9046]

Discussing and debating on such a topic in such a civilized way... Wish we could see this more often now a days.

[@sharmilapatil9052]

Wow !! I cant stop watching this debate! What good topics- ‘believing’, ‘questioning’, ‘can religion help bring PEOPLE together? ‘ And the way they answered so freely 🤯 This is what freedom sounds and feels like.. freedom of expression and they are not even insulting each other and accepting of what they don’t know !! 🙌🏻

[@vishnupriyaav911]

Oh this is a gem... brought tears onto my eyes..to think that many including me and my peers could not think so clearly and with open a heart, learn and welcome divergent ideas on god and religion even today..had my generation been raised like them!! Kudos to all those questioning minds for inspiring us even after all these years!!!

[@AshokKumar-dy1qk]

Nalini's smile is so cute and her confidence is definitely a different level.. she must be now in her 70's.. TV guys should reach and interview her.. it would be great to see her again on screen. Thx

[@omjram]

I know her well and she is a successful entrepreneur and a marvelous example of woman empowerment. She has practiced values which we are talking about now and a role model for any woman want to be independent and ambitious. It’s so disappointing that even though I know her I never had much interaction with her
