So fascinating! KZbin just played this for me, but I will subscribe. I'm European but have been a consultant with TCS (TATA) leading projects in Europe for a while. I've gone from very ignorant about India, to fascinated and impressed by many aspects of Indian culture and politics... and what the future holds for Indian economy. This discussion happened to correlate with my concerns about the damage that wokeism is causing in Europe... I've mainly worked with teams of people from Tamil Nadu and got lots of comments about how they should go independent and be richer than the rest of India.. They don't see themselves as victims of anything afaik... I've also worked with Infosys teams from the Delhi area in the past - who also seemed to think that they were the best people in India. I really do like the Tamils very much but still struggle to really figure out where India is going, and whether it will be split up even more, as a nation, as some of my colleagues think... Or whether it would be wiser to stick together to stand strong against other large economies. Wokeism in India is still only at a fraction of Europe and I laughed when I was constantly forced to take certifications about discrimination, gender issues and even LGBTQ stuff... I never could figure out if TCS was simply trying to adapt to Europe, or whether there were genuine concerns about these issues. As far as I could tell, most people seemed very conservative in their values, by European standards. I happen to be a believing Christians and I felt like my Indian colleagues thought this was easier to relate to, then the default European modern atheism. I very much admired that my Indian colleagues are sticking with their traditions and culture and aren't constantly jumping on the latest American media and fashion fads the way we do in Europe. I was sad to hear that Indian academia is affected by this trend though! If I was to say one thing about Indian academia it would be that they really must fix the cheating in the universities! Whilst most Indian IT people have the skills you'd expect from somebody with that degree, there were a small but extremely irritating minority that must have cheated all the way to their Masters degree and they do a lot of damage to the image of a team or company. I can't quite figure out how such people get hired and work up the ranks - maybe there is some privilige thing going on, that I am not aware of. This is less common in Europe / US - at least in IT where people who don't have the skills usually get weeded out fairly quickly. I will continue listening now, but thank you for a very stimulating and informative discourse! You've got a new subscriber in Germany :)

[@Crymeareva]

India is deteriorating and seeds been sowed since 1947. Politicians (basically regional ones) divide people based on thier identity (Race, religion, culture, custom, belief, language, castes, community, region etc). India has HUGE diversity and politicians are exploiting every option to divide and get votes. I'm sure it'd deteriorate in future. Constitution itself has paved way for weaponized identity politics. There's no fix to it for a country as diverse as India.

[@KaunKizka]

Certain downtrodden minorities of India got privileges. They can get into professional institutions easily. But that ‘easily’ is relative. Its almost 70 years since ‘reservations’ ( that’s what it’s referred as in Indian by constitution) introduced. Some really got benefited. But it’s abused thoroughly. Now it has come to a point where it’s impossible to even talk about it, leave alone removing it. There is so much there for to cleanse but tough to work on

[@darkprince2490]

Race theory (some variants of race theory) accurately describes western society; rather than being a mere theory and spectacle as it is today, it was an active ideology that animated much of western history since the 16th century, deriving its racial categories from a materialization or vulgarization of the christian distinction between the believer and the nonbeliever. This theory does not, however, describe India and is a colonial imposition on the native society there (going back to both islamist and western colonial "projects" in India). Many western "theorists" are now attempting to use India's resistance to this theory to whitewash their own sordid histories, while the western liberal advocates of this theory hide the latent colonial/christian biases in their modernist stances.

[@nowaylon2008]

@@darkprince2490 What makes me laugh is how people (rightly) criticise race theory of the past, but at the same time enthusiastically embrace "critical race theory" and gender studies invented by Judith Butler et al, which reify race and gender in the present day, and export these pernicious concepts around the world.

I think you are correct “ logic and reason needs to be part of the curriculum.” However sugarcoating things doesn’t help at all. I’m sure since you are from India that people in your country wouldn’t feel comfortable with Indian colonial history being written by Britain. The facts would be distorted, sugarcoated and most likely unfair. Knowing the truth of what reality happened is worth it no matter the criticism. Because it’s very problematic when there’s a big army of people who passionately try to hide things and not called a spade a spade. Western imperial countries are usually very engaged in the alternative facts narrative. It’s not about finding victims is about truth, just the truth. And by the way the ideology that you are talking about isn’t happening just in India, the US has made it their business to push that in the entire globe. What they do is revolting.

One example: if you're a cis white male trying to get a coveted internship or fellowship at our hospital, you better hope the number of spots exceeds the number of applicants.

Merely Starting colleges for higher education in my view will be a losing war against the woke academia - corporate nexus for jobs and students who are already brain washed in their schools. The " new schools" route is more likely to succeed because the parents, majority of whio are normal humans , practical and sensible, will only be too happy to support such schools to educate their children.

Yup, I believe that being refuted after reasoning means i hit the nerve, .... i start to feel fired up when people actually disagree, cuz it gives me the opportunity to get into their head and demolish their misunderstandings. It's thrilling to have more reasonable oppositions, than agreeable nobles.

[@sues3218]

"To demolish their misunderstandings"? Be careful with that. We are all fallible human beings. None of us know everything. The point of disagreeing is to press each sides arguments to hopefully come to truth. That struggle shows where the weaknesses are. However, sometimes you can spot weaknesses on BOTH sides during this struggle. We all need to be more HUMBLE and willing to really examine things to find the strongest argument. In my lifetime, I have had many paradigm shifts when given more accurate information than I had previously. Some arguments made me rethink my previous position. It is PRIDE that prevents this from happening. We all need to guard our hearts against that. We all need to be more respectful towards one another, when debating one another. NONE of us are correct 100% of the time. That would make you a perfect person, and no such person exists.

Civilization is a Horror Express, which is picking up speed, and without One honest Cossack in the mould of Captain Kazan, who looked as if he might be able to stop the train wreck: he was only beaten because the Thing assimilated the combined intellects of the intellectuals and the educated people on the train. Now there’s a worry. India is in peril. Whilst just finding her deep roots, which evidently go back beyond the Younger Dryass at Dworka and in the Saraswati, she is, indeed, facing Cultural colonisation by America (if culture is the correct term). Further, the Strategic situation impels India to seek the protection of America, for that is what any alliance with America would be. (It was Kissinger, I gather, who said America can be a dangerous enemy, but is a fatal friend.) Difficult as it may seem, labouring to achieve a strategic accommodation with China would be the sounder course: India would not need to dominate China militarily, provided she can present the risk of a sufficiently damaging strategic embarrassment in the event of general conflict. India can offer the Chinese a more reliable and consistent diplomatic and strategic accommodation than can Pakistan, which may go altogether ‘Islamically Woke’ as the inherent tensions between North West Frontier tribalism and the Muslim Rump of the Raj finally pull asunder. Indian ‘Nationalism’ is a necessary cultural rite of passage for India to achieve a ‘Cultural Risorgimento’: this will be achieved when Indians are fully at ease with the fairly recent Mongol and Maritime European incursions, accepting this fully as part of India’s current cultural genesis, whilst achieving a Society founded on the deep roots of Sanatana Dharma and a functional rather than hereditary caste system.

[@abhisheksharma4709]

Wow wonderful analysis man. If only it was that easy to achieve this beautiful outcome from the current situation in the country. I really wish this happens in the foreseeable future but this task is pretty difficult. A lot of changes in the system are required especially education. The extremist islamic population is rising and that also is a huge hinderance to these required changes.

[@grayarcana]

@gaurav singh Thank you. I have much respect for the Sikh tradition, and fondly imagine myself to be in close parallel, though I didn’t come up in that tradition. I have been principally influenced by the Aryavedic traditions of India, beginning with Sri Aurobindo, and the Sufi traditions of and arising from Islam, in particular a Sufi school formed in India, but carried West in a form that was not Islamic or requiring conversion, aimed to educate and induct the upper middle and intellectual classes of earlier 20th Century Europe. The man charged by his Murshid with undertaking that task, a successful court musician, had a Muslim father and a Hindu mother. Indian Sufism had to come to terms, over some Centuries, with the reality that Islam was not going to displace the native Aryavedic culture, or diverse cultures. I think, one day, India need return to the accommodations achieved at various times, such as under Akbar the Great, notwithstanding the genocidal massacres the Muslim ascendancy inflicted during their incursions and later. For the present, India faces strategic and internal struggles, including conflict with Pakistan, that do require the cultivation of a deep ‘National’ or ‘Collective cultural’ sense founded soundly on reality, and the deep, ancient roots of Indian civilisation, without, hopefully, the sort of ideological fantasies that overtook the Germans in the 1930s, which really assured their destruction. The Mahrattas found leaders from all hereditary castes, the implication being caste or spiritual path in life is essentially functional, what you do, rather than hereditary.

[@grayarcana]

@gaurav singh Oh dear! Whilst my learning has been extensive, it does not, admittedly, run deep. If one is deeply educated in a particular culture and tradition, one acquires cultural knowledge in depth. I have taken the view I do not need to encumber myself with culturally specific learning which may be vital to one of a particular tradition. I am aware of the view that deep spiritual advancement can only be achieved by committing to one Guru, Murshid, Sheikh. Maybe so, but my cognition of matters spiritual, is anchored in a Natural Theology free of earlier Christian scholasticism. Now what am I, in Indian terms? Many Westerners drawn to the Indian schools would perhaps fancy themselves Brahmins, but the learning of the true Brahmin runs deep. Kshatriya? Definitely not! Vaishnu? Never really run a business! Shudra? Not a particularly diligent worker! Oh dear! What am I, in your terms?

[@grayarcana]

@@abhisheksharma4709 Thanks for the complimentary comment. I must agree with you that India faces great difficulties. However, all Powers, great and small, face a future that will be increasingly challenging, and each has it’s particular hazards that could impact them, perhaps catastrophically. China is acutely aware of this and feels the need to move fast. We live in an Age of Existential Threats, though most of the hazards are distributed over decades. The most immediate risks, barring presently indeterminate cosmic catastrophes, arise from strategic conflict between the major powers passing out of control. We are still in the Warring States period of our history. There is a conviction in the West, held by the Liberal ascendancy, (neo-liberal economically, social progressive, and religiously atheistic,) that these successive challenges are only capable of management by, in effect, a World government. They envisage this as being essentially modelled on their own political systems. They hold this conviction as their own polities progressively fail and lose social cohesion, but more critically, as they have lost all moral gravitas. The last man in America who carried himself with dignity and gravitas, and looked like a President, was, unfortunately, only playing a part in a movie: Morgan Freeman. This is disastrous for Englishmen such as myself, but our leaders haven’t woke to the real and growing possibility, probability, that America will cease to be a functioning democracy within a decade. My own view is that our survival depends on our diverse cultures finding and reinvigorating their roots, asserting their independence, and evolving interactive protocols that are adaptive to the global ecosystem, and the environmental constraints. At a deeper level, conscience, and a care for life, not mere consciousness, is fundamental to our survival, and probably much of the larger fauna. Indian spirituality understood this, in principle, Millenia ago.

Both Peter and Rajiv are contributing hugely to the debate and fight back against American wokeism. India is not the only country in the World, where the minority groups were former colinisers and rulers. Here in the UK, the English (i.e. Anglos Saxons), were very much the minority, ruling over the native Britons. The lingua franca became English, replacing the indigenous P Celtic languages, the remnants being Welsh and Cornish. Then the Norman French invaded, replacing the English aristocracy. Norman French heavily affected English spoken by the aristos. Even today, many of the big landowners trace their families back to the Norman French invasion. So Britain has itself a history of being colonised by a minority, who became the ruling class, and still remain in power. I agree about the hypocrisy of the American woke Social Justice activists, who enforce their ideology on other countries. The woke cannot see the hypocrisy, as they view they have a moral superiority and imperative to civilise and colonise others with 'unclean', 'impure' views. That is the religious zealotry of the American woke. I hope India will see that this woke ideology is rotten and divisive, and at heart a mishmash of neo marxism and postmodernism. We still have that fight in the UK.

Race theory (some variants of race theory) accurately describes western society; rather than being a mere theory and spectacle as it is today, it was an active ideology that animated much of western history since the 16th century, deriving its racial categories from a materialization or vulgarization of the christian distinction between the believer and the nonbeliever. This theory does not, however, describe India and is a colonial imposition on the native society there (going back to both islamist and western colonial "projects" in India). Many western "theorists" are now attempting to use India's resistance to this theory to whitewash their own sordid histories, while the western liberal advocates of this theory hide the latent colonial/christian biases in their modernist stances./

[@kernowforester811]

Christianity is a religion not a race, and as much divided Euope as it united it. Until very recently, race was meaningless within Europe, in many rural areas it still is meaningless, as we were all European, rather tribal and more recently nationalistic, loosely based on tribal origins and language. Add to that class and more recent religious sectarianism. Only externally, was this an issue, as Europe considered itself superior and in need of colonising others via e.g. religion. Same as happened with the Islamic states such as the Ottomons in eastern Europe, or the Mughal Persians in India, who invaded others to civilise them and convert them to their religion! Same as happened with the Chi'n Dynasty (China), which invaded surrounding countries, the CCP invading Tibet in the 1950s, or the Japanese who did likewise in eastern Asia until the 1940s. It is not just Europe.
