Why are western media and politicians hostile to India? - Kushal Mehra on Urban Chatterati

Entrepreneur, philosophy nerd and podcaster Kushal Mehra talks about why he thinks western media and several western politicians are hostile to India?

[@whatsinaname2706]

It because Hinduism is not part of the Abrahamic sect! Hindu population in general seeks approval of the others!

[@yakovmatityahu]

Yes it's Hindus fault that they love being controlled by foreigners..I am indian Christian but I don't like to be controlled by western ideas I love indian ness and it's our culture and way of life we should not live our lives by Western standards

[@abbefolkseger6927]

@Ashish Bagade SO TRUE Not PC at all :)

[@ushakumariv2425]

More and more hindus should join the push back movement. Such talks help young hindus understand what has been our past and how we need take back the discourse into our hands

[@ssd266]

I have somewhat similar experience in my life. I live in US for past 15 years, me and my family, we speak our language, read our books, eat our traditional food, pray to our gods and celebrate our festivals and i use to tell my western friends, that whatever their understanding about our faith and belief system, they can keep it to themselves, i don't care and i am not interested in what others think about us. They don't understand, we follow traditions of our ancestors and I am aware that not everybody does that, but there will be always people like me who follow their way of life no matter what physical location/country/galaxy we live on. But yes, now I realized there is no point trying to argue with people who don't want to understand.

I am personally so grateful of you for such an important discussion. Thanks a lot. I have become a fan of you both gentlemen.

[@jojobabok9373]

The emphasis on "strategic pushback" was very important. As you've mentioned, to avoid getting binned as a mere "fanatic faction", we need to develop multiple levels of assertiveness - ranging from podcasts to news "debates" to academic & news articles. The power of money in building out a favorable ecosystem & legitimizing one's side... Many important takeaways. A very valuable talk.👍

[@mukundranjan11]

Kaushal you are not the only one defending Hinduism. There are many like us. Keep up the spirit bro

[@jojobabok9373]

Nice Kushal, that you've given credit to Rajiv Malhotra where it's due. Some people may not always agree with him on everything, but he's the one who got a lot of metro & cosmopolitan Indian youth to take an interest in the Indian civilization (or to even think of Hindutva as more than just a rural nostalgia) in the first place. They may not be the largest vote base, but they're very potent in political discourse (especially when they swell the ranks of the other side, en masse). (The RSS doesn't really have a great image in the cities, nor have they put much effort into building one. Their depiction, much like India's, is largely done by outsiders. Their +ves could have otherwise offset some of their -ves, in terms of public perception). I've seen many people finding it hard to associate with him (due to some of his out-of-touch views on caste), but he brought to attention a lot of past accomplishments & contemporary vulnerabilities of the Indian civilization.

[@jojobabok9373]

@Aryan Thakur Nothing per se. It's just that he dwells a lot on the "jati-varna vs caste system", which many people may not be interested in, considering: 1. The very real caste violence in rural India. 2. To some, being able to rise in the ranks may be more important than being respected wherever you are in society (which seems to be just a form of patronizing). In real life conversations, these points seem to carry more weight than historical nuances. While it is true that the British rigidified caste like never before (using Manusmrithi as their reference text - while there is zero evidence of it actually being used in any Indian kingdom & it being just one of the many Dharmashastras), the existence of inter-generational hierarchies in ancient India is mentioned in many texts. Lowborn were usually frowned upon as likely candidates for taking up higher professions. There are prominent examples of exceptions, but it was a generally difficult task, especially without favor from above (much like today's political/geo-political landscape). Of course, this was the case throughout the ancient world. While caste does need a lot of research (& may have been over-simplified), Rajiv Ji makes it seem like mistreatment of the lower castes didn't happen in pre-British India. Which is why I said his views on caste are "out-of-touch", not entirely false. The rest of his work (including his ongoing projects) are quite important.

[@dingo6215]

Rajiv disappointed me when said he disbelieves in evolution.

[@poonamabbi7448]

Talking of RSS, the funny thing I see about RSS is that ALL THOSE who comment & criticize RSS are themselves the BIGGEST BIGOTS & LAZY good for nothing fools, & KNOW NOTHING about RSS. They have been BENEFITTING from the work on ground that RSS does, But ARE UNGRATEFUL crap to still continue to malign them.

[@poonamabbi7448]

@Aryan Thakur It does not make them look good, & many times make unmaskas them as liars & lazy minds.

[@apys9582]

@Aryan Thakur I completely disagree with him on his take on Varna-Caste. Overall he says that Caste System is bad and outcome of British Imperialism, whereas Varna System was beautiful. I say, Minus the Varna system, there is no caste hierarchy, hence it is Varna System which has manifested oppression in several ways, latest being hierarchal caste system in modern period which was started by British!!

[@coolaffection9701]

Respect starts from home. If majority of Hindus vote for Hindu forces, non Hindu forces either located abroad or in India can do little. Hindus should always remember they have been ruled by Muslims and Christians (so called minorities now) for centuries. It is time Hindus stood for their living civilization.

@Kushal, Does the Abrahmic hatred involve the jews of the west as well or limited to Chrislamists. Excellent discussion Abhinav.Subscribed for life

[@S7evn201]

Hinduism is the only polytheistic( multiple gods) religion still in existence despite muslim and Christian invasions. Rest of the world has succumbed to monotheism(One god concept- Islam and Christianity). Most of the countries of the world are either Muslim or Christian. Also India is the spiritual compass for all the major religions of the east like Buddhism, jainism, Sikhism, Taoism. If Hindus fall then India falls and if india falls, the spiritualism of the east falls and then eventually the east will have to look towards the west for spiritual enlightenment. The problem is not Hinduism, it is polytheism ( multiple gods) in my opinion.
