'New form of Christianity in Britain led to evangelical attacks on Hinduism',says author Manu Pillai

[@AjiDn1]

Manu Pillai became what he is today because of modern education brought to India by the Christian missionaries and his studies in Britain.

[@rahuljagarwal153]

ok but xtians looted kllled r@ped millions of Hindus and became rich which provided missionries the money to carry out policies beneficial for the xtian pope empire. How did missionaries brought modern education to Bharat ? when they had kllled people for saying earth was round/ revolved round the sun? The expansionist political monotheistic relgion was made separate from state hence modern education was possible & not due to missionaries. Missionries i.e religion was ther with state which led to decline in science & development. There is a massive difference in wat u r saying & wat history is.

[@vinodhvp1]

British didn't come India to give education. They came to convert and loot. They won in both aspects upto some extent.They used education, either for conversion or to create clerks whom they can use for looting. Modern education would have come to India even if missionaries didn't entered India. And adding to your point, missionaries were actually against modern science, because modern science didn't approve Bible .

The British, unlike the Portuguese were not that much into spreading of Christianity, their support for missionaries in India was very light. Indeed the early English East India Company even banned missionaries to land in their part of India. Which us why missionaries like Carey had to land in Danish parts of India. Only later did the East India Company directors come to the decision that since Indians are human beings like the British, they have the right to listen to words of the Lord. Only then missionaries were allowed in but even after that British Government (both the East India Company Government or the later British Raj Government) support for missionaries was very limited....

[@jzzquant]

western societies are more feudal and have bigger problems than caste system in india ,by 1857 left wing ideologies started sweeping europe already marx was at his peak. In india we atleast have checks and balances in the form of budhism,jainism ,shaivism ,chrvaka to counter feudal corruption in west there is no such thing. Only alternative to christianity is complete bloody rebellian in the fomr of marxism. COming to your question ,British by 1850s were already significantly influenced by leftist ideas in the form of hegel, marx. they were lesss interested in bringing christianity and more intersted in destroying hinduism .Its only after independence we see christianity used as a weapon by Left . During british rule christianisation was never a political weapon of left wing idealogies. Its mostly the deep state post independence which weaponised/wokedup christianty.

[@mudra5114]

@jzzquant No society on planet Earth, ( and many had caste systems) came close to the ruthlessness and discrimination of the caste system of India, Ambedkar has made a deep analysis of comparative systems. Next, no the British in the 1700s and 1800s were not influenced by Marx or Hegel, this process of Marx becoming popular among the British elite started in the early 1900s. Marxism was a rebellion against the merchant class who had earlier rebelled against feudalism in movements like the French Revolution or classical Liberalism, so it was a revolution against earlier revolutionaries. Marx was against all religions, not just Christianity, he was of Jewish heritage. The ideology driving British Empire in India was more Classical Liberalism (Whigs) than Christianity.... The British Empire in India and say the Dutch Empire in Indonesia was more about preservation of global trading interests (against enemy European powers and later the USA and Japanese Empire), than religion. Religion (Christianity) was secondary concern. This is different than the Portuguese or Spanish Empires.

Among the colonizing powers, the British were the most civilized and India got REALLY lucky. There would have been multiple genocides if the Portuguese, Belgians , Germans or the French were in power. All other European powers were FAR more malevolent than the British (who actually had an element of benevolence and justice in them). This is not to discount the atrocities that happened under the Brits. That happens is all forms of colonialism.

Even though atrocities get the most attention, it is the slow strangulation by colonialism that is more damaging. Like siphoning off all the wealth, destroying indigenous industries, preventing modern industries getting established and not providing education to the population (not to mention the divide and rule policy).

[@wisdomchase]

Interesting talk. Some points: - they seem to suggest that Hinduism isn't as diverse and diffuse as it used to be, and that Hindutva is somehow limiting and reducing its diversity and openness. We don't see it that way. We see Hindutva as the externally-oriented carapace protecting this basic unchanged core of Hinduism. All that's changed is that Hindus have developed tooth and talon with which to fight back. - notice how this book and talk pointedly avoid talking about Islam and its impact on Hinduism. Shows you their politics. Islam basically did far worse than European Christianity, but nobody has the guts to analyze. - and they seem to be fine with Hinduism remaining defensive and under siege, but not with going on the offensive to spread itself. Why should we have to be the ones being on the defensive from constant attacks? Why shouldn't we take the fight to the enemy? Why shouldn't we spread our culture? We too have great things to teach the world. Why should we let only the paranoid and intolerant desert cults dominate and rule the world? Somehow they're okay with Christianity and Islam exhibiting tribalism and xenophobia and they don't criticize that, but if Hindus do it for the sake of survival, it's BAAAD. - also, identities evolve all the time. Hindutva is a part of a process of modernization. I see nothing wrong or alien about that. - what Hindutva is basically doing is borrowing from the playbook of Christians and Muslims and deploying their own tactics against them, beating them at their own game. It is an immune response to the infection. If the infection goes away, then the immune response will too. - good to see Manu sidestep and carefully handle some of the host's leading questions. She certainly had an agenda she was pushing.

Hindusim or atleast out ancestors have created multiple schools of philosophies, thoughts probably hoping everyone including atheists would have space in those philosophies but monolithic religions like Islam and christianity use this to create confusion and convert. 3. Like in kerala there is a possibility eventually almost all states will see rise in Christianity along with Islam leading to more friction and seeking own identities. 4. Present day Indians lack sense of rationale though that depends on debate, knowledge seeking, logic and tolerance. Particularly the converted christians in my state are being brain washed into hating Hinduism which in future may lead to sectarianism. 5. As percentage of hindu population keeps falling (actually christian or Islam population will grow) society becomes more diverse leading to more vote bank politics thereby bringing common personal laws will be more difficult (meaning BJP must act now and bring UCC) 6. Ability of Hindus to drive the nation’s future will go down unless Hindus doesn’t unite. 7. Hindus must institutionalize more for temple and their properties, religious customs amd rituals, particularly bring down casteism, some superstitions and customs that are against or regressive towards some caste, sect, region or gender. 8. We need something like a secret informal institution that works towards the cause of Hindusim to drive our interests and also something similar to drive our country’s interests.

I hope your book includes AMY CARMICHAEL, MOTHER TERESA, DAVID LIVINGSTONE IN AFRICA, WILLIAM WILBERFORCE BRITISH PARLIAMENTARIAN OF THE CLAPHAM SECT AND SCORES OF OTHERS WHO FOUGHT AGAINST WESTERN SECULARISTS MASQUERADING AS CHRISTIANS. BUT for christian missionaries we would be slaves of brahmins still and there would be still the queer marriage customs in our native KERALA.

[@nabhinayyam]

Slaves of Brahmins 😂😂😂 Queer marriage customs 😂😂😂 you may kiss your bride as the bride is pregnant or with the kids 😂😂😂😂

[@nishadass6960]

Your ancestors may have been slaves of Brahmins. None of ours were. Mother Theresa was a monster. Offering the poor succour in return for conversion is a disgusting practise..only you christians think it's a wonderful thing to rob people first, reduce them to poverty and then convert them to your piece of shit religion

[@snair8448]

What do you say about 60+M natives were killed in the Americas, plus more in Africa, Australia, New Zealand! Christianity has never reformed from idea they are superior to all and therefore a brown, non-Christian are bottom of societal structure. Even forcibly converted natives in the west are treated worse than beasts. Hinduism has evolved and always does to modern times where tribals or oppressed communities can be in positions of power whereas nothing of this sort in the West nor will it happen! Christianity still condones racism, gender, patriarchal control of everyone else!

[@bharathithadigotla5101]

Great, same colonial propogonda showing brahminsa as monsters to destroy local culture still shows how Hindus are resilient and tolerant still living peacefully amongst colonial brain washers like you.

[@bharathithadigotla5101]

There is Hindu doctor in Karnataka who gave crores of his own land freely for schools. Did operations to poor . And I can give so many examples. Only thing is the west only propogates mother Theresa and people like her who has nothing to give and undermine local people who do good. This itself is colonialism. There hundreds of mother Theresa in Hinduism who don't project and go behind media and noble prizes or given space by westerners

[@samskaria4991]

How did the Europeans understand the ritual of Sati?

[@jaylivi]

Hmm, if an average Hindu is compared against a murderer who's is Christian in terms of actions, that's a BIGOT! This guy has does not provide a balanced narrative but a biased one, and not ashamed to manipulate and lie. Shameful guys

[@jpblitz2104]

Brilliant conversation. The English went to India mainly for trade and looting, whereas the Portuguese went to India mainly for spices, religion and trade. The Hindus - and Moors - had been affected in two completely different ways by these two colonial powers. However, before these two powers showed up, many Hindus had been at war with each other and with Muslims, so many of the former had sided both these European powers to help them stay in power and get protection in return to payments.

Where is the Renaissance in our country rather than Europe undergone?

[@pallaviagrawal5508]

The host forgets that resilence matters in difficult situations only,, a very funny question were we victims or is the story of resilience

[@roughvlogs7620]

i can see so much hindu pride in the comments. bravo.. !! can atleast one person say what is hindu religion? and where is it mentioned in vedas? what is wrong in practicing a foreign religion if it is the only truth..? also why are you making and worshipping idols of gods when it is written in vedas that not to make pictures or idols of god..?

[@adityachebrolu1992]

also can you also enlighten me why forced conversion are needed, why so many hindu temples are under government control while non hindu sites are not, why non hindus have separate marriage law, why gurukuls were shut down after britishers came to India and why britishers took control of hindu temples, and most importantly what is goan inquestion by Portuguese , Please read Hindus in Hindurastra book once it is 200pages book so wont take much time.

[@roughvlogs7620]

@@adityachebrolu1992 Forced conversions are not needed at all. Also helping those hindus who aren't allowed to have an education, or giving them a respectable job, or a vehicle or even chappals is not forced conversions don't you agree..? There are places in India if a dhalit wears a chappal the uppercast people will beat you to death. If giving them the basic respect as a human will open their eyes to truth, then let be it. Hindu's doesn't want hindus to read their own holy books, especially the vedas. In that case why shouldn't they read Bible or Qur'an and try to understand those religion..? And about the religious properties, every temple was built by the rulers of every land. Not by the people themselves. But the churches and the Mosques weren't like that. Imthey were built by the commoners for their religious practices. There are many family temples across India, which owned and controlled by the families not the govt. No body wants the government control over the temples. Why don't you ask modi to give control to hindus..? No other religious people care about who controls temples. Also many Hindu temples are originally budhist or jain temples, just like babri masjid they were also converted to Hindu temples. May those who stolen from might care about it. Others don't. Why non Hindu's have separate marriage laws..??? Christians doesn't have separate marriage laws.. may be others like muslims do. What's wrong with it. It doesn't harm you anyway. Why do you care? Their religion might emphasize how to do marriage in a certain way. Let them live how ever they like. Joulousy is not healthy. I don't know why gurukuls got shut down.. there were many Hindu kings in India, they should've promoted gurukul.. why didn't they..? Goan inquisition was completely wrong. I don't support it. Can you share a link for Hindu's in hindurashtra, so that I can read it online when I am free. Also can you atleast try to answer my questions in the first comment rather than hiding behind whataboutery?
