The Jagannath temple reference is about the Maratha burgees who would come and loot. But I am not sure if they did that to the Shri Jagannath Temple. They definitely did so to the peasant class, which is why we in Odisha have a tradition of buying our grain under soil to avoid detection.

The introductory note by Shoma says it all, she clearly exhibits her biases and prejudices. What hatred she is talking about? Though she was educated by Mr.JSD, and when she tried to runaway from the discussion there, she tries to put her prejudices before again and again. She has to clearly understand that the so called Hindus are not of one single sect and there are many philosophies and sects. But all of them were equally subjugated by most of the monotheists and the tyrants. Invading India and establishing the kingdoms and ruling the land can be exempted and seen as a natural events. But the destruction of temples, subjugating the natives as kafirs, and extorting Jizya etc are the most heinous crimes they committed. And those crimes cannot be reverted. But despite taking away exclusive lands for their sect, still occupying the holy places of Hindus without any remorse make Hindus feel discriminated. And if this is called hatred, then they have to redefine hatred. No one hates Muslims or Christians. People only hate the discrimination shown by them with their basic tenet, ‘Idol Worship is a Sin’. Isn’t it the starting point of intolerance?

Manu’s comment that India is not only for majority. The issue is pro minority and appeasement - look at control of only Hindu places of worship ( Shoma please do a episode on this with domain experts) ; only Haj subsidy for first 60 years ; separate civil code for Muslims based on Shariah etc. Majority is still unfavourably treated if “ victimisation” is a strong word.

The key question to ask in addition is how justified is the Muslim exceptionalism which has achieved two things (1) managed to legitimize political appeasement as an equitable framework on the assumption that the majority will always be oppressive especially towards the Muslims (2) to try and push a millennially inclusive and eclectic civilisation into behaving like an insular reactionary force. Liberalism , a noble trait which is part of the Hindu gene, is now being taught to them by this very dogmatic force.

This is an deeply sincere video. Shoma must be congratulated for being even handed. But there is one deliberate and glaring omission. The far earlier and insidious middle eastern-turkic colonialism has been quietly junked in this critical historical review. This aspect has actually contributed infinitely more poignantly to our fissure ridden polity of post independence India. The Deobandhis made conquest of Hind a theological project since 18th century. ( JSD's second book is vivid on this issue. The historically horrific memories reside in millions of hindus, especially in North India where the progromatic annihilation of the Hindu ethos is too stark to be ignored. MANU IS BEING DOSHONEST THAT MUSLIM EXCEPTIONALISM STARTED AFTER THE BRITISH CAPRICE OF SECTARIAN CENSUS. That's glib abd unfortunate. He must clarify on this.

Agreed. Manu's hypothesis is a bit "half-baked". While it recognizes the impact of Christian fundamentalist missionaries, it neglects the role of Islamic invaders and conquerors. If ~200 yrs of British rule led to certain changes and dynamics, then surely ~1000 yrs of Arabo-Turkic invasions might have certainly had "some" impact on the dynamics of people to people interactions and culture. Manu seems to ignore that, I guess.

28:30 I don’t understand the obsession with what Christian missionaries of the pre-1947 period thought about India, and what today’s Indians have to take from those whose zealous mission was to essentially wipe out the distinctive Indian culture and religion. They are gone; their power should also leave; and so should their memory in our minds. More and more, it seems it is the Indian Anglophile’s seeming sense of being overwhelmed by nativism and their confusion at its onset and gathering speed which is forcing them to constantly harp on their specific origins as a cultural bubble largely apart from the rest of their social surroundings. By Anglophilic, it is not referring to merely their use of the English language, which is an international language and a utility, it is their attachment to the history of colonialism in India and their derivation of their own place in history and society to the events of that period. The Indian people are free; and should be in the true sense, by which is meant that they should be free to rejuvenate and establish once again their own, distinctive, Indian culture while, as beautifully phrased by Manu Pillai as a river flowing through time, picking up useful bits and pieces along the way.

@ I believe this is what a few Africans had to say about their experience of colonialism. It is noteworthy that the rapid and brutal colonisation of Africa, which really began in the 1880s; was concurrent with the height of state-funded, neo-Christian missionary zeal emanating from Europe (to a lesser extent, America). The reason why two preachers - David Livingston and Henry Morton Stanley - went to the source of the Nile in today’s Lake Victoria in Uganda, was again, to convert the natives to Christianity. This was also the time when a lot of the hill tribes in Eastern India and Myanmar were also converted to Christianity. I only empathize with the last of the tribal chiefs in these places who had to essentially surrender their cultural and spiritual sovereignty to these guys wearing robes and carrying a book from the Middle East to override their cherished traditions. It is not without gruesome effect. The entire fracas in Myanmar and NE India can be boiled down to radical Christianity and the unbridled political ambitions of the Baptist church organizations. There is no end to this sorrow.

@ I think the more important question is why Indian students go to these institutions even so long after independence! These are religious colleges and they should feel free to reserve whatever they want. The challenge for the Hindus is to come up with institutions of at least similar if not greater quality and compete. It is not impossible in the history of the world. The best-rated colleges in Asia are in Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan; and not one of them was founded by Christian missionaries. Like any other free people, the Hindus cannot keep blaming the past and not create the tools for their own future.

@krishnanunnimadathil8142 In 1947, why were these educational institutions not NATIONALIZED? Indian Railways Indian Postal service were nationalized in 1947. These educational institutions were built with India's own looted wealth re-routed back to India thru Xian Missionaries. In 1700s, India's GDP was 23% of World GDP. But, in 1947, when "Christian" Britishers left India, our GDP had come down to 3 or 4% of World GDP. This difference in GDP is the wealth looted out of India by "Christian" Europeans. So, my doubt is that on what basis was the absolute ownership of these institutions built with India's own looted wealth on Indian Soil passed on "freely" to Indian "Converted" Christians after independence? Do not you think that these educational institutions should have been the common property of all Indians equally?

42:00 With regards to censuses, it must be explained that what the British authorities were aiming for was to establish, what they felt, was an “equal governance” over the entire population under a British tyrant. The “mischief” Manu Pillai refers to has to be seen through this context, the call for “an equal (equally brutal) rule” and “representative government”. There wouldn’t have been a need for a census and all the associated political mischief had it not been for a desire to bring about “representative government”, which represented not people as individual citizens but as belonging to various coalitions based on identity. It merely betrays the flaws of “society by government” as a model in comparison to “society by people”.

I think the character of holding composite ideas in a common frame work is due ro the individual centric charector of our culture. We believed in Karma and Moksha theories. So any human being (Jeevathma) can climb the steps through spiritual practices and become God (Paramatma). This basic concept influenced all religions and thoughts formed in India. Budha, GuruNanak etc etc all believed in this concept one way or other.... Thanks to Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Mahabharatha, Ramayana etc. Thanks to Vedandic Philosophy and also spiritual leaders and reformers like Sankaracharya, Ramana Maharshi, Sreenarayana Guru and many more... After colonilism and political imperialism came in to existence Hindus have no other way for survival.... Only way is to unite politically...

The last point made in the discussion about the factors causing anxiety to Hindus being true but that the concerns were exaggerated and this "past" should not colour our present - this sort of undid much of the discussion that preceded. Makes me wonder if you genuinely appreciated the Hindu concerns or this is just another pose you have come up with, since outright denials which has been the preferred response hitherto seems counterproductive. This is because quite simply, what Islam and Christianity were doing to Hindus is continuing even today. Hideous tales about Hindus are fabricated by Muslims and Christian Church even today. Multiplied several times over. The role the British played in the state supporting the Christian missionaries trying to convert Hindus, is today done by the secular Indian state. The discussion on the role of power was also incomplete and misleading. Hindus did not want power over others, they wanted power over themselves. Date power is being used to delegitimize and stigmatise and prohibit and obstruct practice of Hinduism. Like prohibiting crackers during Diwali and more recently prohibiting elephants in temple festivals. All the causes of grievances of Hindus against Islam and Christianity and the State are in full play today also.

The problem is that Indians don't about the source of Ramayana, Maharbharata and puranas which are Buddhist jatak kathas. I really hate the hypocrisy of Indians deliberately forgetting or avoiding their Buddhist historys of 1400 years ago whivhmade India a super power at that time

Hinduism and Buddhism mutually fed and nourished each other. Besides, your average Indian is more concerned with practice and devotion -- than origins or the history of their religion. This is what makes Indians special -- their unswerving yearning for the Divine.
