Ithihasa - Tacking the Cult of False Heroes by Ami Ganatra and Amal Sud

Welcome to the 7th edition of Pondy Lit Fest! This year, we proudly focus on "Bharat in the New Age", guided by the inspirational phrase “Bharat Shakti” from the writings of Sri Aurobindo, whose sacred seat of sadhana resides in Pondicherry.
Our festival has always been a platform for empowering knowledge on spiritual, religious, and cultural subjects that showcase Bharat's true strength. We explore critical barriers through Lectures & Conversations, Book Talks, and presentations on Science, Technology, Defence & Security-avoiding the noise of polemics and debunked narratives.

Bollywood has done a lot of damage, depicting hardcore villains as victims of society. Always eulogizing the criminals and terrorists are also peddled as victims in Media and Movies.

[@RojaJaneman]

Media/social media/entertainment industries/art is d crucial tool for colonialism. It’s been evolving for centuries. It’s all about power and control. Kachrawood is a tiny little cog in d machinery. Prob is, people themselves r cluless tools 😂

[@SivaKumar-dw3zf]

Movies of RGV, and movie like Pushpa in which the protagonist is a smuggler - these are Tollywood products. I feel ashamed.

[@Roar1921]

So even if Raavana tried to avenge his sister, he becomes a feminist by kidnapping a woman? 🤦🏽‍♀️it doesn't even make sense in feminist standards

[@RojaJaneman]

It’s not about logic. It’s about emotions. And it’s always used against kids/poor because they’re easily fooled. They’re clueless. That’s y u need proper parents. And parents require a good family structure/support. Which is y it’s that structure that’s always taking damages in these power plays. It’s war. Always was

[@happynewyear4157]

Fake feminism 😂

[@Renusri12]

Ravana was not trying to avenge his sister. Ravana killed his sister's husband and never cared about her insult. He was driven by the beauty of sita that was explained to him by his sister

[@Roar1921]

@@Renusri12 yes I know. I was talking about the assumption that even if Raavana had avenged for his sister, kidnapping another woman should not make any sense to a genuine feminist.

[@inspiregrowth9022]

Ami, you're brilliant at bringing out the truth of DHARMA. I salute your efforts. Our people are being confused by false heroes and also false intellectuals. Look at how people are deliberately being misled with kintu parantu phrases for every damn issue/ idea whatsoever. You're truly admirable.

[@rachnachamola]

It’s high time we learn about our true history 🙏🏼nice presentation

[@Spr-no9oy]

The interviewer is doing a fantaatic job of asking very relevant questions

[@alopal3191]

He's excellent. He's studied the works and the Gita

[@gopalramanathan7062]

We need many more Dharmic warriors like Ami Ganatra ji to usher in a Dharmic 🕉️ renaissance in this punya bhoomi BHARAT 🇮🇳

[@anjalianand8437]

Glorification of Karna was greatly boosted by Commi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar's Rashmi Rathi

[@debapratimbhattacharjee1569]

Was he a commie?

[@alopal3191]

Loved the discussion. I love the way competence and command over the subject translates into eloquence. Well done Amal and Ami

[@hungrybeastt]

Totally agree, Karn was not a good friend. A good friend would try one to not walk the path of adharma. He supported Duryodhan in his path to destruction. Which is not at all a trait of a Good Friend. Lots of misleading narratives being peddled to degrade our Itihaas. Instead of larger perspective of Dharma vs Adharma, people are giving it some weird spin to suit their narrative.

[@tsMuthuraman-hm6wg]

Karna was born illegitimate son born before marriage !

[@pm-ce8nj]

Amazing insights. ... Ami ji.

[@sambomajumdar2433]

Wonderful discussion. We all should read Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam more seriously and apply the learnings in our daily life.

[@suryapushpa]

Amazing presentation

[@hungrybeastt]

Since youngsters are distracted towards other things. I think parents should make a group in their colonies or social circle and fix a day weekly where they can all gather with their kids and read the Books to them interactively and discuss. This can help I guess.

[@alopal3191]

Excellent suggestion. Story, study circles

[@trusfratedAP]

A more organized method to counter fraudulent narratives would be to institute "Sunday Schools for Hindus" in order to impart scriptural knowledge to youngsters deviating from the path of dharma.

[@hungrybeastt]

@@trusfratedAP Yes, good idea. But that should be started by the Parents because setting up an organized school would take a lot of time and other resources. A localized community effort at micro level would be a good start.

[@pb8857]

Ais PM saare duniya ko mile. Tab humanity ka sahi rise hoga!

[@philosopher_sage_07]

I can listen to Ami ji everyday. There is so much to learn from her.

[@Haveagodday-w8m]

Thankyou 🙏

[@lokeshduvvuru8705]

My favourite topic on internet these days: Karna bashing

[@arjunshetty7612]

I keep having this debate with my friends, same topic, ravana, karna , duryodhana. All these points mentioned by Ami Ganatra will be useful next time

[@birdofforest1313]

सनातनी सो रहे हैं।इस वीडियो को इतना कम व्यू मिला है।

[@jithenin]

Nice Interview & you have added 1 more Subscriber 👍❤️

[@adhipmitra]

Ami ji is a very eloquent speaker,apart from having an extensive knowledge of Our Itihas and it’s proper interpretation.

[@amrtansh]

Amazing podcast and loved entire session except for the gentleman who unnecessarily tried to be funny at last and it was really irritating Meant who decided to tell something funny and light but no it wasn’t. It’s kind of joke which is told in 2nd std

[@educateIndia-eh3te]

Very good👍
