I am a Christian by Birth, But I learned most of my life values reading Ramayan and Geetha based stories. First and most people should understand Hinduism is not a religion, It was beyond that and that is the greatness of it. It never came with a perfect god it just represented basic formes of resources and energy as in the form of strong entities like Bhramha, Shiva and others.. It analysed the Universe to its entirety. I am proud to live amoung these people and if you have a look their tolerance level is what others took advantage of.. It is ok I hope Bharat learned from it. I want the old Hinduism to come back not as a religion but as a lifestyle don't let anyone to compare it with religions like Islam or Christianity. Hinduism is beyond their thought process, it is the ultimate truth.

The first thing any Westerner needs to understand is that Hinduism or what we call Sanathana Dharma is QUITE UNLIKE Abrahamaic faiths: * It is not a revealed religion * There is no one Prophet * There is no One Single Book which is the Word of God, true for all times * There is no Original Sin * Unlike the God of the Christians or Allah of the Muslims, the oldest religion or Way of Life in the World believes in a Supreme Consciousness of which each individual Jiva or life is a part. * Within this broad framework framework there are many Schools of Thought. So one can even be an atheist and be still accomodated as a Hindu, with barely a raised eyebrow. * As for numeous Gods, it is the English desire for equivalence which finds Hindu Deities called Gods. Numerous Hindu Deities such as Shiva or Lakshmi or Saraswathi or Rama or Hanuman, are worshipped, as Deities with stories woven around them, with the greatest of certain attributes. Lakshmi is the Godess of Wealth, Saraswati, the Godess of Education & the Arts and Rama as the Most Ideal Man. * Within the same family, different people may worship different deities depending on the attributes of each and the form which most appeals to them. There is zero conflict and it would be a rare Hindu, who would not still bow down to deities worshipped by others or to Jesus Christ or to the Guru Granth Sahib(the sacred scripture) of the Sikhs etc. * This arises from the fundamental belief expressed in Sanskrit as "Ekam Sat Vipraah bahudha vadanti" ...THE TRUTH IS ONE...THE WISE DESCRIBE IT IN MANY WAYS... * As a consequence, Hinduism unlike the Abrahamaic religions IS NOT: * Supremacist * Exclusivist * Expansionist It is this very openness which led Hindus to give refuge and freedom to practice their religion to: * Jews fleeing persecution by Christians in 75 CE * Christianity came to India supposedly with St Thomas in 52 CE * The first Muslims came to India were newly converted Arab Traders. They were not only permitted to practice the new religion but were given daughters in marriage...so they became Moplahs or sons-in-law. In fact, the first mosque was built in Kerala even before the death of Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. * Zoroastrians came to India between the 8th and 10th Century from Persia (Iran)fleeing the Sword of Islam. All of these communities and so many others sought refuge, practiced their religions and lived freely. The most recent arrivals were the Tibetan Buddhists who came here, with the Dalai Lama at the head fleeing the murderous PLA of the Chinese CCP under Mao. He remains here as a honoured guest, revered by all Indians, with his people with Dharmasala as his headquarters. It is to this ancient civilisation, which is at the very least 5000+ years old, now a nation of 1450 million people, with bewildering complexity, multiple races, 22 official languages, home to 121 languages, 19500 dialects, with several of its own religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism & Sikhism, that the West regularly lectures on human rights, religious tolerance etc.

Monstrous poverty, inequality (11M live in slave conditions), and total corruption on the top will prevent India from outpacing China in the next decades. Nationalism as lip service will not help.

Mr. Mead, what does it mean by saying "the rise of India means to the US and the world". Aren't you trying creating an impression among the listeners that USA stands alone and not in this world? Todays rich can become tomorrow's begger.... Please don't creative such narratives...

In india many people dont take ramchandra guha seriously his opinion his knowledge is one sided and to help one political party

[@madhukarmurthi9064]

He alluded to that when he said "even Ramchandra Guha" had to admit Swapan da was intelligent.

[@AItv2011]

@madhukarmurthi9064 i know im just saying why we take a opinion of person like guha either that opinion is good or bad .

After 2014, the concept of india gradually is being rejected by the concept of bharat. It means, bharat is now significantly & scientifically conservative against colonialism, communism, socialism, extremism, terrorism, left liberalism, dollarisation, radicalization, etc, etc of any kind, under a multipolar world where truth should have the only space. It is sanatani. In order to maintain and secure the truth/sanatani, bharat has adopted the hindutwa, the way of life after 2014. Hence,the world communities need its best to think the difference between the path they are following as radicalised consevatives and the hindutwa as scientific conservatives. Because, truth, hindutwa, inly has the capacity of inclusiveness, as such democracy.

When other countries like India, China, Russia etc are progressing well, why is it a threat to America????

The fear is baseless. India has a reputation of being a knowledge economy and not an aggressor. If India had an iota of aggression, it would have set up a parallel organisation and campaigned support successfully from 100+ nations to create UN equivalent that is more rational than the world order dictated by a few security council members. India has rather taken an approach to endlessly pursue convincing existing members without much success. Modern India is culturally drawn into creating a more cohesive world even though it has seen its share of bloodshed for centuries from invaders. My take is that it is a positive development that the world’s largest democracy and one of the youngest nations is growing. India is setting benchmarks in climate change, education and culture. I am sure it is going to be incomparably better than the last 30 years of growth seen in communist regimes.

About 40% Indians study and speak English, this is larger than (33 crore) American population. Westerners mis this fact.

You almost lost me the moment you took the name of Ramachandra guha😂😂😂

[@narenmenon6906]

I agree. Mr. Guha's latest interview with his like-minded buddy Karan Thapar on current events in Bangladesh was nauseating. It is not Mr. Modi's fault that lsIamists have taken over the country. Mr. Mead should diversify and get his "India/Hindu" perspectives from a wide spectrum that is available on You Tube. A good start would be PGurus, Palki Sharma, Arnab Goswami... and many others. There must be a reason why Indian/Hindus have overtaken the white populations of the UK, US and Canada. In America, Indian women make the same as white men, despite entering the work force much later in life. I know several such examples. I am using statistics from Google Search and Wikepedia. Jews led the way. Did Indian mothers demand as much from their children as the Jewish mothers?😊 "Failure" was not an option. perhaps?

[@tuyolento3295]

Where's this mythical India's rise?? Today India has the largest population in the world but its GDP is only 3.5 trillion...the country is still mostly mired in abject poverty. Of course there are many Indian billionaires in the top 100 world ranking. Should Indians be proud of these oligarchs who basically control Indian politicians who will do their bidding.. protect their businesses against foreign competition...while they live on 5 dollars a day? Are they proud when Ambani flaunt his wealth on his daughters wedding spending hundreds of millions? Do they perhaps feel that his billions were stolen indirectly from them? The wealth gap in India is astounding....where India truly wears the crown is their runaway population explosion which in today's digital world of AI and robotics will be an albatross around India's economic neck for many decades to come.

Road is not easy. USA has chosen a path to counter Russia and China. They think a weaker problem ridden India has to come to USA. Hard days are coming. Time to show these superpowers that India believe in holding our own ground. USA has find ally in Pakistan to teach India a lesson for not severing Moscow links. Be Resilient my people.

[@VikramSingh-rs2pi]

Indirectly he is saying india is threat, Look, US behaviour towards india will decide 🇮🇳🇺🇸 relationship, if 🇺🇸 says hostile then no hope for any future partnership,

[@madhukarmurthi9064]

He's not saying that - he's saying understanding the challenge India poses to the traditional western view will make the world a better place if understood.

[@Wasengenyie]

It's already hostile bro. They will keep selling Pakistan weapons and giving them aid to challenge India.

[@amarjeetsehmi8995]

Indian religious leadershp from Guru Nanak to Mecca, Budhha to Asian countries and Gandhi to Africa have left deep foot prints in those countries and deepest impression on public life.

#India is the hope in Asia for freedom, democracy, rule of law and peace..but self-centred Americans dont understand it or accept it..they create hurdles in Indian progress instead of supporting it wholeheartedly! #WakeUpAmerica! Understand that democracy & peace is in Indian DNA, its not a temporary stand!

[@shwethadrick4172]

Nightmare for Americans/Western Nations. Question is will they accept it. !?!
