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.

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.

I'm glad that I had the privilege to speak to Indians in person, though it was only briefly. If I had half the intellect of Nalini or Gopi (from another video), I would be happy. Much respect. I found it interesting that this video has a Brazilian girl. All in all, an interesting debate. I wonder how it would be if there was a person who practiced an Afro-Brazilian religion.

​@Niku Singh what you referring to is the result of politics. Organize religions always had been used as a tool for the political agenda. as far as I know Islam had always been spread thru the sword. As an idea, it never was well equipped. Hinduism as an idea has no worries in that aspect. What you should actually be fearful of is not the islamic people, but the jihadi mindset aka extremism. 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.

Wow, the Indian speaker talking of such beauty after life, you think an artist hasn’t been rewarded until after death👏

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

Half of the Britishers who ruled India never actually believed in Christianity in real terms , if they were Christian they would not have brutally harassed and persecuted our Indians ; in today's Britain there are only approximately 28 % people who are Christian .

@@jmac512 I have a question for indians, what makes you guys hate pakistanis and muslims so much over, lets say the british occupation that starved millions of indians. Not trying to offend anyone, just curious.

[@haniamalik6748]

@@yalekhya2996 honestly those talibans shouldn’t even be considered as Muslims . Islam never forces someone to follow their religion. Islam literally means peace. As for the government I can’t say anything, they’re screwed and bulshitters. Whoever politician questioned them, and were against them, the talibans murdered them. It’s all the Army propaganda. Don’t know when we’ll get a great leader like Benazir Bhutto.

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

[@Hebiiiii1]

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.

[@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 !! 🙌🏻

This was one of the best debates of these series. As a brazilian I am impressed with Evelyn’s domain of the English language, remembering she was the only one there who did not come from a commonwealth country at that time. Although, i did not agree with her closed mind. Interesting the exchange in the beginning of the video, when Johnny asked her why she believed in god. I was really impressed with Johnny. In a time when open criticism to religion was not seen as a good thing, he dared to embrace the questionning and reasoning instead of religious dogmatism. The Indian girl with her question of who created religion was also showing a very open mind close to modern agnostic thinkers. I am curious to know about the Pakistani girl who told she would question her muslim religion, a crime punished with death even today in Pakistan till I know.

[@mudra5114]

Pakistan was less Islamic fundamentalist in those days. So was India was less Hindu fundamentalist. Indian and Pakistani founding fathers were influenced by British classical liberal traditions. But it has eroded now.😕

[@FallenLight0]

@@mudra5114 ​It seems the whole Islamic world has got more strict and fundamentalist, which it's sad for me. That's why Iran government is killing girls who just want to watch a football match on a stadium nowadays

I was thinking the same. The Pakistani girl was committing blasphemy as per the islamic laws. Wonder what happened to her when she went back to Pakistan

[@thatWanderingSoul]

The spontaneity and easy candor all through the debate is just remarkable. For these four teenagers to be able to articulate their thoughts and beliefs so precisely and cleanly is impressive. Goes to show how education is more a state of mind and the humility to keep an open mind to reason and the enthusiasm to question the status quo and learn.
