Sickularism is a disease introduced in the constitution by Indira Gandhi, Ambedkar did not allow Nehru to add this word in the constitution I am am Indian Hindu My Great Great Great Grand Parents were forced to migrate from Sindh to Rajasthan when Yazid hejaj al Yusuf the same person who killed 4 companions of Prophet Mohammed sent his general Mohammed bin Qasim to invade India because a hindu king Raja Dahir gave refuge to Imam Hussain family & companions, Mohammed bin Qassim & his army plundered 80 million hindus & buddhists on the way, Until he was driven back by Bapa Rawal whose name till this date given to a city in Pakistan called Rawalpindi. My Great Great Grand parents were forced to migrate back from jaisalmer to sindh, when Alauddin Khalji a muslim sultanate, in 1303 CE lay siege to the Chittor Fort of Raja Ratan Sen, the Rajput ruler to steal his wife Rani padmavati, who was forced to perform Johur. Meanwhile Our cousins the sikhs were lost thier necks & children trying to protect us. In 1947 once again, My Grand Parents were given no choice, Either leave our ancestral home in sindhi over night & flee to India or be killed or forcefully converted to Islam. This happened as our leaders Nehru & Jinnah were both power hungry & were bribed by British to Partition India & Pakistan. The British gave away the birth place of Hindu & Sikh religion, our mecca & vatican & a 10000 year old Vedic heritage was given away to the muslims. When we arrived in India, we learned Nehru made a constitution that gave muslims & christians right to teach in their respective religion in their convents & Madrassas. But Hindus in a Majority India were not given right to open Gurukuls or even teach Vedas in our schools. We were told the partition happened due to religion & so India will be for hindus & Pakistan for Muslims, this happened because the 90% Muslims voted to create Pakistan. But when we came here to India barely surviving our lives, we found during the partition the population of Muslims was 92 million muslims in Undivided India. The population of muslims who went to Pakistan from India was 5 million and the Population of muslims that went from India to Bangladesh (East Pakistan) was 5 million. So at the time of partition 82 million muslims stayed back in India and only 10 million muslims went to Pakistan and Bangladesh (East Pakistan). This despite the fact that 90% of the muslim population had voted to create Pakistan. So East and West Pakistan took 10% of the muslim population but took 35% of the land and resources. We were told Nehru & Gandhi allowed Muslims to stay in India. But hindus who stayed back could not survive the 29% who stayed back in Pakistan were killed, raped & focefully converted. Soon after we were barely recovering our lives in refugee camps in India, lost our all our property our loved one, we were told Nehru created Hindu code bill which means Hindu cannot marry multiple wifes, but muslims can marry. This allowed the muslim population to multiple by the hindu population was controlled. We noted our temples were controlled by government IAS officers, but churches & mosques were handled by christian & muslim trusts. In 1990 our brothers faced forced exodus from Kashmir. We barely survived the 75 years of fake Independence & anti Hindu rule of congress party of India. During this time we were scared to stop the Muslims from cutting cow in front of Hindu temples. Muslims posted Beef party videos on the youtube to belittle the hindus. We were being falsely branded as Saffron terrorists, one by one our religious leaders were sent to Jails in false cases. We were scared to be hindu, branded at sanghi. Fed up of this persecution & lies, We voted in large majority to bring Modi as PM, after 65 years of atrocities. The congress bribed News channels, Biased Journalists & English news papers lied non-stop to defame & scare the hindus. We were scared to even implement the beef ban mentioned in the directive principle of the constitution, which congress party never implemented for 65 years. In 1984 we seen the sikh riots killings by congress party goons. Today 2019 we are so scared that congress party may come back & restart the Persecution of Hindus, the congress party may revive fake saffron terrorism/ Intolerance of India is a imaginary term marketed with the help of Amir Khan & Naseruddin shah. I am hindu scared to be hindu in hindu majority India

It shows that you weren't listening. She is for the poor. She hasn't asked to break down capitalism. She is giving an overview of the system. In effect yes she is suggesting a model based on China or similar. Look at Chinese Welfare state and side effects. She is however not suggesting that much of a radical solution even if she does attend communist rallies. You sir have no idea how Modi's campaign is funded and exactly what US-Israel-Saudi appeasement is by Modi to realign with their agendas of military industrial complex and potential wars for exploiting resources and/or capital expensive for war and equipment. If you think the slapping of Balakot is happening without US blessings in advanced you need to go back and check the Nixon- Kissinger and white papers and policies on India. An India that isn't too strong nor weak is the policy of think tank that controls Asian power balance. India is now favoured to counter check China and for naval bases at Gujarat port for US shale, warship refuelling thereby having a much bigger 'ally' to activate to check China.

we are brothers and sisters, does not matter we are hindus, muslims, sikh, issai, buddhist still we are all Indus wasi and all brothers and sisters, we cannot identify ourselves as hindus cause hindu is a forign word not even mentioned in vedas aur bhagwad geeta, the word hindu was given by our islamic captors and attackers from the west. Irrespective of which religion we want to practice it is a private matter but we are all products of Indus valley. I want you to listen to what I say today with an open mind and digest this and a part of history, just because we had a violent history with a lot of corruption does not mean we need to live in animosity and hatred for the rest of our lives. The people with vested interest have used hatred to poison our minds against each other. We need to be brave to acknowledge facts and not fall into the same trap that our forefathers were exposed to. For this we must first know the real facts and then learn to move forward with universal brotherhood. I say this cause unlike what many of you have told religion was made of universal brotherhood but it was hijacked along the line, due to rich people who wanted to control people and hold on to the power. Irrespective of your religion there are corruptions and you have become a pawn in the hands of few powerful people, nothing more. Hindus should know the fact that we remember ourselves as followers of hindus is enough evidence that there is corruption in our religious facts. Our religion is not hindu but Sanatan Dharma and Sanatan Dharma is not even a religion it is a green practice which explains preservance of earth and our duties (karma) as a human being. The Mughals who ruled India were the exact same people who first attacked and killed Arabs and after conversion to Islam were diverted to hindustan. The rule of the moghals was brutal and no different from the ISIS we know today, the hindus were afraid to teach their own religion to their children for fear that they will be killed, kidnaped or raped. 1000 years of disconnect from own religion is long time for superstitions to be introduced, when the mughal went the British corrupted the vedic scripts using the Germans. Today sanskrit is more studied in Germany then in India. And to the muslims of Indian, Pakistani and Bengali descendants I want to say with sadness you are our brothers and sister who were victims of rapes and forcefully converted by arabs and mongol invaders, some of you infact agreed to convert out of fear and due to rewards. But your faith is least of my worry, so long that you understand the difference between the preachings of prophet Mohammed vs corrutions introduced subsequent to his death. Infact I want to assure there is no conflict between preachings of prophet Mohammed and that of vedic ways of sanatan dharma followers. Infact Prophet Muhammad declared, “There was a prophet of God in Hindustan who is dark in color and his name was Kahan [Krishna]” (History of Hamadan Dailmi Chapter Al-Kaaf). Some critics allege this is not a Sahih (authentic) hadith, and while their assessment could be valid, their conclusion that the hadith should be discarded is invalid. Basic Islamic jurisprudence holds that if a hadith does not contradict the Quran, then it may be accepted as valid. Islamist deny this important hadith which was written 1000s of years ago, which shows unity of all religions, including christianisty and buddhism. People with vested interest want to retain power hence want to deny. I whole heartedly believe that we are all children of one allah also called iswar, prabhu, god, yhwe (pronounced as yahweh), allohem and by many other names. And I will share show corruption started. Those like me who have read the full text of prophet mohammed last sermon will understand prophet Mohammed asked his followers to follow Ahl Bayt, his family members, he asked you to give the same respect you gave to him to Imam Ali his son-in-law. Infact many of you know nowhere islamic hadith or quran can be found that prophet Mohammed nominated the Abu Bakr as the 1st caliph of Islam, so when Abu Bakr forced himself as the 1st caliph with the help of second caliph Omar, they betrayed the wishes of prophet Mohammed. Infact it is also covered in both Sunni and Shia Hadith catagorically Abu Bakr sent sent Umar to Fatima and Ali to ensure they support him as 1st caliph, but Fatima was so angry that she refused to see Abu Bakr face till death and she asked Ali not to even invite Abu Bakr to her funeral. Caliph Umar who had supported Abu Bakr even burned Fatima house and cause miscarriage of Fatima. Everyone knows Ahl Bayt was persecuted in Arabia and had to flee in desperation, without going to much details I want to say even much of what muslims are being told is corruption of the caliphate. Prophet mohammed clearly said not to collect taxes, where as Caliphate Uthman was killed by the Muslims of Alexandria killed him because he placed a non-muslim Ummayad cousins to collect taxes from them. One of the non-muslim Ummayyad cousin - Muawiyah b. Abu Sufyan. Let us not forget Caliph Uthman was also himself a convert muslim from a very rich Ummayyad and rich background. This is the same man caliph Uthman himself said that all the people who knew Quran by heart have died in wars so 110-130 years after prophet Mohammed death asked the Quran to be rewritten. He called upon people to provide their memories of prophet mohammed which were collected in scribes, but these original scribes burned later. We all know prophets family family faced persecution and Imam Ali was killed and then Imam Hussain was forced to secretly send his family and companions to Hindustan, but when he himself was on the way to hindustan he was killed on the way in Karbala. Hussaini Brahmins still exist and they are found leading Muharram for centuries proves connection between Hindus and Imam Hussain. Today I will share few fact which will highlight how foreign vested powers with the help of our so called leaders, cheated both the People of Pakistan and Indian during Partition. Hatred was harnessed as a tool to acheive the desired outcome. But before I come to that I have a lot of things to share with you. During the 1946 Provincial Elections held in India under the British. Muslim League under Jinnah only got about 27% of Muslim Votes. That is right. Yet if you look at the 1937 elections Jinnah could not even win 1 seat, only this time they created reserved provinces where hindus could not vote in reserved muslims provinces hence gauranteeing victory to them. Thanks to British modified election rules, AIML finally managed to augment itself as India’s largest Muslim party. It also did well in two other Muslim majority provinces. It won 113 (out of 230) seats in the Bengal and 27 (out of 60) in Sindh. So, ML could not form a govt in NWFP, and Balochistan was never a province but was annexed by Jinnah from Nawab of Kalat after independence. The only place it had a decisive majority was Bengal which has now seceded as Bangladesh. Except for Punjab which was in favor of creation Pakistan no other state voted for AIML hence this is why major parts of Punjab and Bengal went to Pakistan. Or let us put it this way that British had achieved what they had planned out of the 1947 provisional elections by using the muslim votes in provinces reserved for muslims. Muslim League managed to win all the 30 seats reserved for the Muslims that means Islamist parties got no votes how is this possible unless it was rigged by british. The results of the provincial election held in early 1946 were not different. Congress won most of the non-Muslim seats while Muslim League captured approximately 95 percent of the Muslim seats. Another important point to note 95% muslims voted to create pakistan. If that was the case then why did they stay back in India then after 1947 if they voted their choice. If they stayed back India then why did Nehru make a secular constitution when it was already clear from before the partition was to divide hindustan based on religion, ie Pakistan for Muslims and India for Hindus. What was the pupose of this excercise. In my view nothing more then British design to stop communist Russian advances to connect with India so they created a buffer state which can be managed by British and Americans in the form of Pakistan. Jinnah took money from British after which he changed his strategy to create separate Pakistan. How Jinnah self proclaimed himself as governor general without any electoral process due to faithfulness to British he was obliged. Not only people of Pakistan but also people of India were cheated there many conspiracies, including conspiracy of Nehru. Uneducated masses of Hindustan where ignorant till today they dont know any facts they only believe what they were made to believe. People of both countries have not been told that British created two dominion states which is not same as two independent countries. It is well known fact the congress committee had elected Sardar Patel as the PM of India, yet Gandhi owing to the preasure from British asked Sardar Patel to step down from PM candidature and he oblidged Gandhi giving way to Nehru. In the end Pakistan got a ex-Hindu, pork eating, alcohol drinking Jinnah as governor General and India got a ex-muslim, Beef eater as PM of India both agents of the British, followed British Interest.

[@xenimariabarajas2390]

great Arundhati... weird interviewer...

[@b-23aryankishore64]

I think arundhati Roy needs to take a few lessons on economics.

[@narayanabhandary3797]

Nice... Has her views, may be with tastes, orientations... Can any individual be able to change system evolved, of various factors of a nation and due to the values valued by world around(?).... Who can fund the changes advocated.... May be dreams... Good to dream... Becoming true, normally an illusion.. There may not be an ideal state on Earth..Pardon🙏

[@Ak-pu1yn]

Another epitome of Women Empowerment💖I admire & respect Arundhati Roy!btw the interviewer sucks!!

[@artistleaf]

Why you are against Susses ?

[@m.ishakziaee9861]

"You worship only symbols/idols/deities instead of God, and thus you invent base lies. Indeed, those (beings whom you deify and make statues of) and whom you worship instead of your true creator, do not even have power to provide sustenance - so seek all your provisions only from Him and be thankful only to Him - for you are/will be being bought back only to Him." (29:17)

[@shehlarandirashid856]

You follow filthy liar pedophile muhammad.

[@shubhashishbehera5225]

Why it should be him and not her

[@janakpatel1557]

Roy is not an icon to look up to last person in my opinion

[@ashishkanna7353]

Roy please think positive to the society

[@007bhagyaraju]

What!! 80% of people are living with less than 20rs a day. It is not true. Even according to Tendulkar committee and Rangarajan committee it did not cross 30%. However I believe more will be there when compared to multidimensional poverty

[@abhw4001]

what a liar she is.She is telling ill about country and still people are taking her interview.For all viewers pl visit india and see its prosperity.India is becoming Golden bird and these vultures like Arundhati Roy cannot hamper India becoming potential for entire world.

[@JaspreetKaur-jr1up]

Umm where is your golden bird now nd also please tell me whats golden about 122 million people who have lost jobs since March adding to millions others who were already jobless. Lets sit together and blame this on covid,shall we?

[@ashishkanna7353]

Roy's living a rich.she is spoiling many Muslim peoples to that popularity gaining more amount and also popularity

[@ashishbagade7601]

I don't know but what I think is going on in India is something similiar to what happenned in China during den xiaoping's revolution and in Russia during Stalin's regime.....Old cultural world pf peasants and farmers coming to terms with modernity and city life.....But India gets a bad name as always because there is inertia in western thoughts about India...because its always been negative...I am a dalit and my motherland gives me so much that I am proud of it....there are many struggles going on and I am not saying India is perfect....But IT WILL be third largest economy no matter what......I feel racim in western world against Indians more worrying as compared to Casteism against Indians inside India because at least we do have positive discrimination laws to fight against them but in West u just have to bear it....Sad but True :(

[@ashishkanna7353]

She is very very criminal minded please grown up guys Har mind how to spoil religion and also friendship

[@skysunny75]

The interviewer looks like Michelle Obama !!

[@isaiahdavid4230]

india is a superpower? who thinks that.. This is the first time I was told that

[@Juandinggong]

God, I swear I have not seen anyone lies so much it is incredible. why she is attacking TATA they are the only company that gives so much back. what she has done is bad mouth India on the international level that certainly doesn't help her "suppose" agenda. what is she saying about people are living in forest and being killed for resources is an insane lie.

[@unnamed1993]

Her political inexactitude astonishes me....you cannot use the system and work against the system.

[@vkj321]

Has she donated anything to poor's cause from over 2 crores she received for her book and from her talks in foreign countries on false crying for so called poor. She criticizes Gandhi and repeats what Hindu hater Ambedkar and his protagonists have been doing for 90 years.

[@loyalindian8986]

Roy, mentioned dams are being used car manufacturers or sugar cane farmers 🙈 not sure what is she talking about? Please don't fall for sweet talk.

[@ubadtmar7835]

Roy have written very important books, against imperialism, big dam projects, ..... But her book on "capitalism" is not upto what i expected, it is a repetition of what she said most in of her earlier articles and nonfiction books. Algebra of injustice, listening to the grasshoppers et al

[@TheAnkurp09]

she has no knowledge of anything why is she even writing.????

[@mathslearninghub3878]

ankur pathak that is Bcz you are so uncomfortable with her words.... Illogical comment😅😅😅

[@jerry-simonmalebana1868]

Iyoh, this is terrible interview.

[@gagansharda4505]

she only show she care of poor people but in the end she is fraud Do something for poor I think she did nothing

[@atulduggal1363]

Now this lady is against Gandhi also. She is only publicity hungry Sorry I cannot tolerate this video anymore.

[@romaasrani]

atul duggal she is a booker prize winner, who gave all the prize money to the victims of fascism. Booker prize is enough for her publicity... Well if u r gonna shut people who fight against the mighty by calling the publicity hunger- then wen u really want to question them u might be able to do that.

[@romaasrani]

Darkhorse well if it's that corrupt why not in Darkhorse's ass. Or Maybe in ur mouth. Coz both speak the same language

[@arunchattaraj5392]

Practice makes writer but not give common sense. Where , when , how and what word will say. It gives common sense. Not possible to get fRom practice. Judge ment may be created from practice.

[@georestofair2046]

I think she is from Pakistan,,,,Whats her problem with all things in India,,,,,,Try to speak at least some good things,,,,,,,,Problems about Kashmir,Rulers,entrepreneurs, system,police, military,,,,,,,too much supportive to terrorists and some problem making minor communities in Kashmir and all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,This is the system we are living with at least try to proud with some of the good things...............

[@romaasrani]

geo davis we dont need to... She saying the negative things doesnt mean she doesnt like India or she sees everything negative about India.. She is trying to save the real India from the fascist and Rich forces contaminating the real India.. She s nt supporting Terrorism. She supports the so called Maoists , who were forced to fight against the forces who raped, killed, humiliated them.... U dont need to force yourself to be proud of something when you are being used and looted by fascist forces.. Better fight against them with words... Our lands rivers culture everything s getting spoiled... u wont realise it until the MNC's start selling u dirt and forcing u to eat it,

[@VSM101]

Fincher Braandhan Ever Heard about Pakistan? She works for them.

[@mithilesh.edavalath2062]

Vishal Maraj anyone against the govt is Pak agent isn't it?

[@VSM101]

No anyone promoting anti Indian sentiments on a Sudi Arabian fuded station a Sudi Arabia a nation that activaly groups that supports terrorists groups harbored in Pakistan.

[@VSM101]

I love how she likes to point out problems in a nation of 7 billion people which are few and far between that are blown way out of proportion but yet when they ask her what is your suggestion of a solution to any of these things happening in india she presents no real suggestion of substance.
