Dr Shashi Tharroor Honest was questionable, it appeared he was trying to protect Nehru family and their wrong doings. Shahshi Tharoor may have protected Nehru family but he has lost voters today. Atleast I will never vote for a liar who conceals facts. Rajdeep Sardesai is a clown and he comes out clearly a slave of Nehru family which is more and more evident. If Modi has got so much support today it is only because of liar media which hunting Modi and due to total distrust in congress party. Nehru and his family has been authoritarian and followed cancel culture from the very beginning even before independence. If he was not appointed by British he would have never become Prime Minister. Now we know where Rahul Gandhi gets this brains from. Vikram Sampath in my view was fabulous he came out with his facts in an articulate manner despite the other two intimating him. Very impressive.

@@bluej6127 Either you aren't from India or you have no idea about the reality of India. It is a privilege to know English in this country to the extent that people equates intellect with English (which also reflects the hangover). Forget jobs and interacting with Western world, majority of people in India can't even afford basic primary education, also the reason why Govt of India had to come up with Sarva Siksha Abhiyaan and free mid day meal for students. To make it mandatory for an advocate to communicate and articulate his arguments in English which he wasn't comfortable in shows the colonial mindset of our system which isn't the case in European countries. Bdw the rule that states it is mandatory to communicate in English was setup by the English themselves to narrow down the flow of Indian barristers in British India. Stop assuming that every Indian has the same resources and access as you have. What does mental health has to do with this debate? I have nothing against speaking in English, obviously it is a global language and everyone should learn it if they can afford.

What an eloquent speaker, Dr.Sampath! You can see in his dialogues that he truly has no political motivations and honestly wants Indians to acknowledge their history, move on and build a better future. Dr.Tharoor, you have finally met your match :) let's not forget that the reason why history is getting politicised today is because as Dr.Sampath says, we haven't had closure. Even German students learn in detail about the atrocities of Hitler and the holocaust, it only helps them to come at peace with their past and not hold it against anyone. And if you support denying the truth to Indians, you are only risking the future of this country further, from more grave polarisation or communalism. And if the history of my country has to rely on such shaky bandaids, then you're also underestimating the constitutional secularism. INDIA has always been a pluralistic country, we have always accepted people of other faith and differences. So trust your country with its true history!

Vikram Sampath is very right when he says "For the kids in school the story of her country is shown as a third person as of it belongs to some other nation" I always thought about it whenever I reflected back on the history I studied in school (NCERT) It clearly created my thought process that "British were good for India & Mughals were even better" simply based on the information in the textbooks glorifying British (indirectly) and Mughals Directly as well as most of the teachers doing the same. Later on in life I found out about the reality and about the barrage of misinformation it was I was shocked & felt sad for the younger ones still studying the same misinformation in Schools. So proud of Vikram Sampath for shedding some light of truth about our "Pyara Bharat" & giving a befitting reply to the "Brown Angrez" monopoly in the country and creating a bright hope for future generations.

@@shaitanknowsbest3822 Hi there. My opinion on this issue is that every religion or societal custom does need reforms from time to time. Most practices in religions are no cause for concern, but some really must be changed. The only issue is, that some religions are not open to these reforms and they are complacent in their ways. There are certain misogynistic verses in a few holy books that should be done away with, but under the fear of committing blasphemy, these verses haven't been removed yet. So unless the society makes a conscious effort to reform themselves, some sexist issues will remain. :D Hope this helps.

@@lisaalfred8504 Prior to 1947 many partitions of India took place and much of the hindu lands were made into separate countries now (Most of them are now muslim counties like Indonesia, Malaysia, Afghanistan, but some Buddhist countries like Myanmar, Burma, Tibet (which was in 1950 occupied by china). Finally in 1946 East and west Pakistan was made by the british but east Pakistan later separated from Pakistan and became Bangladesh. (Both Muslims majorty nations) In 1947 neither Nehru nor Jinnah was elected by the people they were both appointed by the British. In 1947, the British firstly partitioned India to create Pakistan in 1947 based on religion. India for 90% Hindus, Sikh population and Pakistan for only 8-9% Muslims population. But the land given to create Pakistan is 30% of India this was achieved via 30% reservation to Muslims in provisional elections. But in 1947 the British decided to give 30% of India land was given to form Pakistan which was for the only 8-9% Muslims living in undivided India. In 1947 90% Indian muslims voted for creation of Pakistan and then later the same muslims stayed back in India and claimed they were loyal Indians. If they were loyal why did they vote for creation of Pakistan. So 10% of Muslims enjoyed a largely uninhabited Pakistan for muslims. Whereas my grand parents who were Hindu came to an over crowded India not knowing that 90% muslims will not leave the part created for hindus by the British. But this did not bother the British after all this was not their problem. But those 22% Hindus who stayed back in west Pakistan were killed/ converted / forced out by 1991 census their population was reduced to less then 2%. Same happened in east Paksitan hind or bangladesh Hindus were reduced from 29% to 6.5%. In 1947, My Grand Parents were living in current day Pakistan but they were given no choice, Either leave our ancestral home in sindh over night & flee to India or be killed or forcefully converted to Islam. So my grand parents migrated to India as we were told this will be country for Hindus. But this was not the first time ours ancestors had already migrated 6 times earlier due to the Muslim Invasions of India from 10th century to 16th Century. Indians were forced by the British to appoint a certain family favorable to the British hence Nehru was appointed ( not elected by Indians) as Prime minister of India. Till this date this family controls Indian congress party (who ruled India for 65 years since 1947). This family obliged the British to remain in power. Earlier this family had muslim ancestors later they pretended to be Hindu but now the daughter in law took over as head of congress party and she is Christian. In Pakistan similarly Muslim league was caretakers but later Pakistan army done a coupe of constitutional leadership but they themselves became vassals of the Americans later. Never forget it took 75 years of independence to get a verdict in favor of Ram Mandir. 65 years of that was under congress rule. Because India was divided based on religion and India was made for Hindus. In 1951 when the constitution of India was drafted the British forced changes to the constitution of India via the Indian congress party to add clauses to protect rights of the minorities in India. So the Constitution of India says that Minorities of India have right to practice own religion, and they are allowed to teach own religion texts like bible in schools where minorities are in majority. But the congress party later translated that Hindus cannot get these same rights as minority as constitution does not clarify that Hindu majority schools can teach hindu texts like bhagwad gita and vedas in hindu majorty schools. Hence till date Hindu majorty schools in India cannot teach Bhagwad Gita and Vedas but Muslim majorty school are allowed to teach quran and Christian majority schools allowed to teach bible. Actually now hindus in Muslim majorty school must learn quran and bible if they go to Christian majority schools should they opt for it else they can choose social science. But there is not such arrangement for Hindu majority schools. Another thing that happened in 1951 is that Muslims who stayed back in India were not accepting universal law drafted for all Indians. So the congress party appointed Prime Minister Nehru allowed Muslims to follow partial sharia in India whereby they were allowed to marry 4 times but Hindus were denied this right despite their religious scripture do not require them to marry only once. As they were forced to accept universal law (renamed as Hindu code bill) which was universal code bill originally drafted for all Indians. Hindus who protested against this were shot dead. Hence no choice was left but for hindus to accept this. The impact of this was that the Hindu population which was 92% in 1946 changed over the years reduced o 76% and the muslim population in India increased from 8% to 24% but officially we are told muslim population is just 14% during last census. The constitution of India further said that minorites can manage own religions institutions and NGOs. But since the constitution did not clarify this for the hindu majority the Hindu temples in India for the last 75 years are controlled by the state government. And since the government officers can be christian or muslim so any officers can be assigned responsibility to manage the security and treasury of the temples. Congress made sure anyone who protests will be dead and media never covered anything nobody will be left alive to tell his story. Hence in India you can find temples controlled by Muslim or Christian IAS officers of the govt but this is never the case with churches and mosques. As there is no govt control in constitution for minority institutions, Since the govt controlled the treasury and security of the temples. they could at will withdraw money from temple treasury for the greater good of India and its minority welfare. many a times the money taken from treasury of temples was transferred to chief minister fund and then from there it was used for rice donations to Christians and Muslims during their festivals. This is why christian and muslims will only vote for congress party in India. Rice donation to minorities in billions of dollars made with temple funds. Very few news papers and media wrote about this Teaching Sanskrit in schools was already stopped by British in 18 century and replaced with foreign language Persian and English made compulsory. As you know the only language Hindus can read vedas or religious scripts is Sanskrit so gradually children was forced to leave Sanskrit due to which Indians now cannot read from own religious scriptures' so now they depend on the translations made by Germans, British, American Sanskrit scholars. We dont have the means to challenge them even if these translations are fake and corrupt because we dont have research funding in India for Sanskrit. Very few people know Sanskrit in India, Nehru and his congress gave funding for persian, arabic, urdu but not for sanskrit. Now Nasa uses sanskrit but Indians dont use sanskrit. And because Sanskrit is not taught and we cannot read our scriptures most Hindus donot know that Hindu was the name given to us by our invaders it was never the name of our religion, Sanatan dharma is the real name. We dont know that caste is not in Sanatan Dharma but a Portuguese word and British who captured caste in their census documents on purpose to divide Indians. Till date you will see christians & muslims always talking about caste discriminations which are fake, as they were never part of hindu religion. Sati became a practice after islamic invasions. During Islamic invasions girls would be kidnapped by Muslims so to avoid being kidnapped they would kill themselves in absence of any male family member alive to protect them. But the foreign wester writer wrote in their books that this was Hindu religious custom where as it was social solution social due to situation not part of religion. Such fake translations are constantly used in western media to demonize Hindus. The history Indian books and school curriculum books are written to glorify islamic invasions/ donot tell us much about the persecutions by the British but they also ignore to teach us about many of the great hindu rulers of the past. Hindu history is taught with a purpose to create low esteem among Hindus. Our school curriculum books show Hindus and Brahmins in low light. Recently our school teachers are even started teaching us that Kashmir does not belong to India which is far far away from the truth. Despite there is a Hindu majority in India it took us 75 years of court battle to get rights to a temple in India which was illegally occupied by Muslims and Hindus believed it to be birth place of one Hindu god but the case which was started before independence during British time they did not want the Hindus to have this temple so it was differed. This is because our Judiciary system still works they way British wanted them to work. It is not designed for justice but to keep Hindus deprived of justice. In 2019 the judment we have been waiting for a century finally came but we gave the muslims In 1990 in Kashmir the Kashmiri Hindu pandits the original inhabitants whose ancestors lived in Kashmir more then 5000 years faced exodus at the hands of the muslims who came from outside but some sections our Indian media were justifying the genocide and exodus of Hindus saying it was because the the hindus were too educated and hence holding privileged jobs in Kashmir which deprived the muslims so the kashmiri muslims have every right to lynch them to death and do their exodus.

Here, guys are talking sh*t. there is always an era to work on particular things, after independence we were fortunate that congress did not go in this shitty things of name and history, they did not care the name was Aurengjeb or Akbar, what they cared about development. They gave real development to India, India overcame from long slavery and become world's largest democracy in past years. Would it be possible if we had opted BJP ideology for India back 70 years? India could have become a banana democracy like Hindu Pakistan. In BJP era even in 2021 everyone is fighting with thoughts of religion, not for development.
