[@BinatiSheth]

Lovely interview and perspectives. Just one feedback: Let the guest complete their point. This time, I felt like the host cut the guest off in places. I do understand this came from a place of passion.

The Swaddle you should make a video on the horrible Cast system in Buddheism that sadly 99%of Hindus still don't know about!,that video is needed specially for all the Neo Buddheists in Bharat who only wants to blame and disrespect Hinduism!

[@NileshKumar-nr2vj]

Hinduism what we know today was born in late 18th century. There was Brahminism yes... And YES we do blame Brahminism for caste system. They rightly so.

[@ShankarSengupta-yh2df]

​@@NileshKumar-nr2vjThat's nothing more then a huge lie of Neo Buddheists like you!,because contrary to mainstream narrative of neo Buddheists Gautam Buddha was never against of cast and if you read Buddheists scriptures it becomes clear that his own definition of cast it was even orthodox then in Hinduism(Although cast system in Hinduism was implanted by British only)Such as- 1-Buddha belived in purity of cast and was strongly against of intercaste marriage. 2-In his own definition of cast he said that the Kshatriyas were even superior then the brahmins. 3- even going further and he even compared the brahmins with dogs. There are many evidences but I have just given you short answer because my comment is becoming long even Sanatan Samiksha made a video on that topic,in short cast system is a horrible thing and cast system is because if Buddha only and therefore Buddha is the one who should be planes for that right!?

​@@NileshKumar-nr2vjThat's nothing more then a huge lie!,because contrary to mainstream narrative of neo Buddheists like you Gautam Buddha was was never against of cast if you read Buddheists scriptures then you will find that in his own definition of cast it was never orthodox then in Hinduism(Although cast system in Hinduism was implanted by British)such as- 1-Buddha belived in purity of cast and was strongly against of intercaste marriage. 2- in his own definition of cast the Kshatriyas were even superior then the brahmins. 3- even going further and comparing the brahmins with dogs.

[@ShankarSengupta-yh2df]

​@@NileshKumar-nr2vjI really want to reply you but the Swaddle is deleting my comment! as usual!

[@ShankarSengupta-yh2df]

​@@NileshKumar-nr2vjThat's nothing more then a huge lie of neo Buddheists like you!,because contrary to mainstream narrative Gautam Buddha was never against of cast and if you read what Buddha actually said then you will understand his own definition of cast it was even orthodox then in Hinduism(Although cast system in Hinduism was implanted by British only)such as- 1- Buddha beloved in purity of cast and was strongly against of intercaste marriage. 2- In his own definition of cast the Kshatriyas were even superior then the brahmins. 3- Even going further and comparing the brahmins with dogs. I have just given a short answer because my comment was becoming long,even Sanatan Samiksha made a video on that topic,So yes cast system is a horrible thing and cast system is because of Buddha only therefore Buddha is the one who should be blamed for that right?!

[@ShankarSengupta-yh2df]

The Swaddle you should also make a video on the shameless and disgusting concept of Nikah Halala in Islam which is clearly written in Quran,which so many Muslims still shamelessly deny!,for which so many innocent Muslim woman's suffer every day!

[@anupamaMall]

Halala Nikah is abused by Muslims but as per Islam you cannot plan on getting a divorce from another man to get back to your ex husband. It must happen naturally

[@Akhil_923]

​@@anupamaMall you also justify cringe halala
