Why our stereotypes will kill us | Capt. Raghu Raman | TEDxGateway

Raghu Raman talks about the biases and stereotypes that haunt us in today's world. And how we as humans are wired to react to these biases when confronted.
Raghu Raman has possibly one of the most unique career profiles spanning over 25 years. He spent eleven years as an officer in the Indian Armed Forces , followed by another eleven years in the corporate sector before joining the Government as CEO of the National Intelligence Grid.
Raghu is a Distinguished Fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, a frequent guest faculty in business schools, keynote speaker and columnist on National Security Strategy and Leadership in leading publications. He is also the author of “Everyman’s War” - a book published by Random House.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Great speech sir. You totally changed my concept about brotherhood. Really it's time to sit down and read the constitution of India. Jai Hind

Indeed captain Raghu Ravan motivational as always Jai hind

[@baitalik]

A wonderful speech. What some fanatic muslims do, what some monomaniac Hindus do, do not matter. It matters what sane people think and do. It seems many commentators misidentified Capt Raman as Salim Durrani. Amazing!

[@piyushbhatt.official]

This speech was an eye opener. Captain Raghu played with us phsycologically throught the span on 10 mins. I think if our school and college lectures become this engaging, India would become a super power much sooner than it is expected.

Mr. Salim Durrani you are awesome. Some of my Hindu friends think this religion creates terrorist. Now i ll proudly share this video with them, i hope this enlightens and works as an eye opener to them. Thanks for your service.

[@salimdurrani1032]

Vinayak, terrorism has no religion. And no religion ever preaches terrorism. I only performed my job as a true Indian, as every Indian should.

[@gq7435]

Definitely. We see fundamentalists and radicals from all religions including Hindus, Muslims, Christians. (maybe not Parsis though, they always seem to be a tribe from whom we can learn a lot)

[@tstanmoysamanta]

If they are in the army there is nothing Hindu or Muslims

[@harnishansingh]

finally someone talking sense on tedx talks on behalf of indian armed forces

[@bireshwarguin]

it's one of the ... sorry my mistake not one off but it's the one speech that was so true and pure ...it is so simple to understand but still can't ...people believe on others rather than themselves, i think it's the perfect time to change ourselves if not then other gono change you..forsure. Do a deep check on your surroundings and be a change it will make a change... don't put on the responsibilities on others...just do it.....

Wonderful Wonderful Raghu Ram

[@vpraveenkumar1982]

I saw more cunning officials for some reasons and I am also at times in situations, and reflections and imitations were raised. May be the officials helped to learn, lost is lost in race. Mental fight is not clear as physical. Luck also should have worked for the persons like you. You claimed every small step stones and paved way. Great to hear your speech. Truly motivational and inspirational. Educating and to be practical requires lot of application knowledge.

[@vishnathbhatt]

I have also read constitution of India, surprisingly not the prime minister has power but president has. Constitution unite all India and give security to all citizens to all ppl. Harmony is what exterior forces try to destroy or sometime interior also. But India and it's govt should focus on improving living standard of ppl, health care, infrastructure, industrial and farming etc

[@sandeepdubey8753]

You are right but why you people do not talk about kashmiri pandits and partition of india.the real problem is with those Muslims who lives in India but are inspired by the culture of Saudi Arab.diversity does not mean that we should accept violent people in our society.

[@rickylanjay7253]

[@hashimali4005]

Excellent sir. That's the endurance we need to have in our young generation people, instead of trapping into some fake news which is obviously spread to make differences between two different communities. The psychological factor does play a crucial role in differentiating the people identity. It definitely takes the suddenly affirmation part of our result which we often think when we are in some fear. Salutes sir for teaching the most seemingly complicated topic with an ease.

Captain you are right but still controversial I would like to are argue if I have time It is good to keep soft corner for humanity because we are human but don't forget the past incidents they guide us and our incoming generations Ask and interview those who faced such scenarios you will get fantastically convinced
