The Hindu Lit for Life 2018: Why is India's Secular Nationalism Under Attack?

[@aniruddhajoshi2841]

18:33 the moment u know Mr. Dasgupta is destroying the pseudo liberals...

[@jesshu22]

Ananya Vajpayi and her references of Ram Guha and others clearly states the coterie of the Urban Naxals of our times.

[@amankuraishi1464]

You morons are biggest threat for this diverse country, who sucks the blood of country and create gulf in the society

[@jesshu22]

AMAN KURAISHI Who is a MORON here, who is unable to hear a diverse opinion?

[@amankuraishi1464]

It is pet business of right wingers like you to throw ink on liberals ok,,,i do not need lesson on civility from you.If ananya vajpeyi is urban naxal according to you then sakshi maharaj/adityanath are nobel laureate for peace and non violence according to you, i guess.

[@jesshu22]

AMAN KURAISHI Don't guess, I fuck Sakshi Maharaj or anyone for that matter for their senseless communal stupidity.. Yes, I have right wing views but I am not abusive or communal. And yes, I believe Communists are a danger to the society and Urban Naxals going in the name of 'Liberals' are misleading the society. Good night.

[@amankuraishi1464]

Who killed gandhi and those who worship that killer are threat to the country and its integrity & harmony. #PEACE

[@themaverick7707]

Wtf who's this anchor? Didn't understand a word she spoke.

[@abhishekray2330]

Ananya vajpeyi be like, uh uh uh uh uh ah ah uh uh ah ah ah uh uh

[@pinkjammiesss666]

I just fast forwarded to Manu Joseph. I heard around two minutes each of the other speakers and they were simply stating the obvious. And Manu did not disappoint. Made everyone else look completely banal. They did not look too happy watching him. Ananya Vajpeyi looked particularly annoyed.

[@erwinmasusu4342]

Ananya is a student of Sheldon Pollock and a component of the Breaking India force.

[@siddhantmishra7867]

Secularism is not the concept of India but if India is still secular country that only because of the majority of Hindus

Manu Joseph was the most interesting. I agreed with Swapan though, coz I believe in Hindutva

[@rajadhirajmaharaj]

39:38 *"And what was Indian nationalism largely was that the Indian elite found the brahmin of the brahmins which is the white man, to fight the white man they had to stitch together a coalition through the moralistic force of nationalism. It was very important for our freedom movement and it is very interesting that the dalits have not bought this, you know, they're still resisting the idea of a very convenient kind of nationalism which the upper class needed to fight their own brahmins. Now, while it was, of course it was convenient and I think in the long run it was a blessing. But then of course we had to define idea of secularism. Secularism was supposed to mean the absence of God from state but in India you get all your gods. Every god and every sadhu also."*

[@user-ju1fm8rn1g]

😂😂😂😂More dalits and St votes bjp then congress 😂😂😂

[@soumenbarman170]

1 vs 4. Amazing Swapan Dasgupta.

[@rajadhirajmaharaj]

35:33 Manu Joseph. You're welcome.

[@pirrupdki4948]

Those who r questioning about where the secularism is under attack in india should watch the television or read nwsppr where they will get there ans.nd they can also search it in google by typin "lynching in india"

[@Inndjkaawed2922]

they can also see the denial of proselytisation of Hindu women

[@Sandan-l3u]

If so secularism is failed in india after 65yrs of secular parties?😂😂😂😂

[@vinayak6309]

When was the word secularism inserted in our constitution = when democracy put in jail

[@Only1INDRAJIT]

The anchor is terrible.. Why go for that kind of voice?

[@harishsp7152]

I think she has some health issues

[@sadenb]

Ananya Vajpayee is one of the sophisticated anti-cultural element of the Indian society.

[@slmsinghania]

Ban Islam is the best way to defend Indian secularism.

[@dennisthemenace4288]

I don't think they are asking for "muslim rastra" in contrast to hindutvawadi.

[@Sandan-l3u]

​@@dennisthemenace4288absolutely yes , no one need hindurashtra until muslim not there in india

[@dennisthemenace4288]

@@Sandan-l3u "no need for hindurastra but will continue to vote for the party that's heading towards it". 👏 i have seen your pro bjp comments here.

[@user-ju1fm8rn1g]

​@@dennisthemenace4288trrst do even have right to exist?

[@Yash_Hake]

Came here solely for Manu Joseph. No surprise, he didn't dissappoint; though I listened to other Speakers as well. I find Manu Joseph's views very original and refreshing. I mean it feels very out of the box thinking. His views are very different from the regular arguement and counterarguement stuff one sees in news or reads in newspapers.

[@englishfoundation3999]

Nice speech he has revealed the reality to all of us...This type thinking everyone should have he has amazing knowledge about all things...

[@pawan-td6ff]

Manu Joseph is the real voice of this country

[@sasi_kumar96]

ananya vajpai is a urban naxalite

[@amankuraishi1464]

first learn grammar, you idiot then use such nasty words against an intellectual. 'A urban'....wow you are certainly from bandar sena who always lack ethics.

[@amankuraishi1464]

Your English is better than Modi kudos. Set aside from where i am...but you are a confirm jungle dweller, for that i am sure. #peace

[@amankuraishi1464]

Idiots don`t know they are idiot, which is unfortunate. #peace

[@sasi_kumar96]

u r from alleged peaceful religion who believes in theocracy..u madarassa chap

[@amankuraishi1464]

I am an irreligious you dolt, you are beating around the bush, and i have a govt of india identity card and law of this land tells me i am a native of this land from time immemorial. And for your kind info my uncle is serving in Rajputana Rifles and father in State police, ok , so do not teach me nationality and patriotism you fake desh bhakts.

[@HEMANTSHARMA-kc8rt]

Jain get minority status before 2014 election And AP division also

[@aahirghosh1548]

What was Mr. Joseph chewing during his speech?

[@Rohilla313]

I wonder if Prayag can explain his father’s shameful defection to BJP from Congress.

[@Trust-z9v]

Money and power

[@babajikijaiho7641]

Make India A Budhist state......Khalistan ....Jainistan......or Dharmistan.....just save Indiia from Abrahmic Religions......Will that be majoritarianismm....Aunty...

[@tpate6980]

SICKULAR SECULAR! Great from Swapan Dasgupta. Others are garbage stooges!

[@headlinesnavin]

Manu Joseph best speaker. India will progress if 90 % of the population will become atheists or agnostic. Unlikely but desirable. Completely disagree with Ananya gods and secularism can coexist.

[@MarjorieBakre]

TO be fair the question should be - Is India's secularism in tact or under attack,? Elaborate.

[@Neurosach]

mod has defined developments and to help all the poor keep it simple

[@yashvijayvargiya7391]

Manu Joseph.

[@HEMANTSHARMA-kc8rt]

Appeasement or securalism

[@pinkjammiesss666]

Ananya Vajpeyi - uninspired and mediocre. It is almost as if she did not prepare and went up there and decided to utter banalities that she made up on stage. Her whiny delivery does not help. Not a good solider for the liberal cause. She ought to be dropped. Swapan Dasgupta - blah blah blah. Old wine in old bottle. Prayaag Akbar - Takes himself too seriously. Unremarkable. Manu Joseph - best stand up comedian in India. Terrific entertainment. Nails whats really wrong with India - too much religion.

[@dsbdsb6637]

too much religion or too much ideological blindness - Note : Here ideology includes religion, political, social, economic. Scientific etc. ?

[@kumarjeevan3374]

Secular sounds like suckular for me..

[@OnkarSingh-lq8ck]

Swapan Dasgupta is living in a fool's paradise and he should go and live in a village or small town in UP under Yogi !!!!

[@rhyton66]

This is pure comedy gold

[@rajmohandutta1814]

Nationalism is the last resort for scroundals.

[@Sandan-l3u]

Terrorism for seculars?

[@user-ju1fm8rn1g]

OK trrst, leave India

[@arunsar7893]

Manu Joseph. :-)

[@yogeshjadhav364]

Manu Joseph is best speaker

[@babajikijaiho7641]

ReName India....Khalistan(cs Sikhism is the only martial tribe sect in Dharmic Religions)......Remove secularism... 1st it will not be majoritarianism for such Psychos..... 2nd it will a tribute to the Sikh Gurus who Gavve theiir lives to save Hindus...... 3rd It will Solve the khalistan problem of Punjab......

[@rishikasharma3361]

Manu Joseph is hilarious 😂

[@asdfgh9300]

Frog croaking...

[@amankuraishi1464]

Swapan Dasgupta is the biggest straight faced joker ever i have seen, in idiocy he is the classmate of chetan bhagat and runner up to Ramdev

[@sasi_kumar96]

swapan exposes the hypocrisy of terrorist supportng urban naxalites..hindus need people like him to save india from isalamization

[@amankuraishi1464]

Save india from Islamic Hydrocarbon also, instead use ramdev cow dung cake to run your vehicles.

[@amankuraishi1464]

hehe,,you are using my religion to prove me wrong which shows you have lost like bangladesh in front of Australia.You deserve a crash course on english.Serious flaw in your desperation get your head examined,,,i am irreligious you are messing with a unmatchable opponent.

[@sasi_kumar96]

what r u doing..giving labels too those who expose ur hypocrisy..long live kafirs long live humanity ..u desperately need a crash course on how to cure hinduphobia

[@amankuraishi1464]

Fight poverty, illiteracy , health care don't reduce you nut to religion religion. "Religion is an opium for masses" (Karl Marx). I am an A.p.j abdul kalam minded indian leave aside religion. You are a religious bigot this is certain from your statement.
