I was invited to a church in Hyderabad by my team leader (whole team of us Btw) and we went along. Being truly secular (which largely in india is mostly n largely a hindu, with some Sikhs, some Buddhists, and very few Christians only) I went along happily. My parents never told me to have a religious identity or outlook. I am talking about 2003 if memory serves me right. And I was shocked to find the priest at the pulpit talking against BJP, RSS and Modi and how we must defeat the Hindu goon. I sat there shocked. I looked over to my TL who lowered her eyes. Out of politeness, innate in us, no one discussed it. At that time, in my 20s i had no knowledge of politics and no interest. I walked into a Gurudwara a couple of years later and saw naked display of hatred against India and Hindus. A Hindu today, is not a proud Hindu because of BJP or RSS. It is because while a Hindu has remained a truly secular person, they are being abused, backstabbed by every other religious group. I can challenge anyone...walk into any temple today, North to south, east to west, there is no political hatred being fomented there. I have never once gone to a temple and i have been to countless and continue to go, and NOT EVEN ONCE have i come across the temple priest holding a mike and giving a political speech or preaching hate towards other religions. The contrast in this culture is blatant. Also i have not seen any politics in a Buddhist temples. I may have been to a dozen or more by now. But every single time I go to a church and Gurudwara (i still go out of respect when someone asks. I have no hatred at all) I see a clear display of political and religious identity display. Its STARKLY unspiritual, which is what one intuitively thinks a temple premise is for. But rarely is there (so it seems to me honestly) an honest introspection on this. Why is a Sikh , or a Christian unsecular. I wont include Muslims. They have to unsecular to be religious. 😢. So a Hindu actually must become politically awakened to survive else, like their ancestors, they will be mere skulls on a spoke.

[@lantherpagdi]

n 1995 while I was visiting Ferozabad, an accident happened probably I was 6 or 7 years old, I saw people in half pants taking out bodies from the rubble, feeding everyone and providing medical assistance to everyone without asking their religion or background. There was also some robbing that was happening and they stand protecting the place, until the help from the government could arrive, but they were very slow. That was the first time i find out RSS, I met a lot of old retired people who are proud Hindus working in RSS, I was told many things but never once there was hatred. I mean whenever they accuse RSS, do they know that RSS is made up of old retired people trying to find meaning in society who happens to be Hindus. From many years Barkha and others have been trying to tell the people of this country that RSS is a terrorist organisation, a hard-line Right wing of Hindu nationalists. To justify that they show them exercising with sticks (comparing it with AK47 from other peaceful communities). Peaceful countries who have over 43% of the world's country in the name of Islam rest of them are Christians. But only Hindu's are being told that having a Hindu country is dangerous, we are being mocked for being a Hindu nation as if we should be ashamed of it. We are told that we do not matter other religions do. What happens is that when we put our head deep in our own ass trying to only work for the "maksad" you forget to see the reality of things. Long time back I have read somewhere, that having an open mind is good but your mind should not be so opened that it whistles every time there is a wind. Whenever people justify violence in Palestine because they were oppressed too much, they forget the same is being done to Hindus and continued even after the Independence. Our patience is being turned into our show of weakness and yet we will survive way beyond anyone every imagined. No, we never went and kidnapped people and asked for ransom during wars, or rape, or microwave children to tell people we are being oppressed. We are not a Hindu country, we are not even a country, we are just bunch of human beings getting pissed and riling up everywhere to say, "enough".

[@pallavmishra]

Whether you are a hindu, a muslim, a sikh, a parsee, a Jain, a Buddhist, a Christian or a Jew, there is no denying the fact that India is a hindu country. Just like European nations may have a sizeable population of arabs, turks, south asians, etc but are primarily Christian countries. Their principles, values, traditions, holidays, attire, etc - all reflect the culture and traditions of the majority. Why should one be ashamed of it? In fact, the more you try to fight it, the more irrelevant you’d become in the world stage. Because you’d be wasting all your time just trying to look “neutral” or “culturally-agnostic.”

[@unsung.2770]

Exactly. Hindu Rashtra is a must

[@indianmilitary]

But don't forget that dharma transcends all identities including birth religion, race, language, country etc. Dharma is applicable to everyone. There are millions of namesake Hindus who violate dharma and millions of Chrisitans and muslims abide by dharma in eveyday life despite lack of understanding of correct metaphysics and blind belief in some non existent transcendent 'god".. So, let us not generalize based on birth based identity

[@pallavmishra]

@@indianmilitary the word hindu is just semantics. Ibn Batuta, when he visited India, called everyone al hindi. Even when a lot had embraced islam.

Gandhi's inclusiveness, and that of Congress, is that they expect only Hindus to be inclusive and secular, despite supporting jihadi elements from the Muslim community, such as the Khilafat movement in the 1920s and the coalition with the Muslim League in Kerala in 2023. HINDUS supported Gandhianism for 100 years, but they realized that in the process, they lost their territory, Pakistan, and Kashmiri Hindus were genocided.

India wd not hv been partitioned if the educated upper caste muslim males(ashraf) who had the voting rights had voted with congress i.e Mahatma Gandhi. Most of the Ashraf caste sided with Jinnah. And many of these people stayed back in India. The females and the ajlaf caste had no votes at that time. Majority of these muslims stayed in India after voting for muslim league and their descendents falsely say they chose India over Pakistan. They chose India over Pakistan because despite voting for muslim league the areas where they lived i.e bihar and UP were not marked into Pakistan.

Virat kohli can go out of form and he has on occasions.. modi has never been out of form.. everybody tried including these presstitues 😅

[@SadguruPrernaTrust]

Am getting sensation that the Sickulars e Hind desperately looking to replace Maharaja Modiji at the earliest..They are looking searching for the replacement. They don't know the next in line will be even more tougher than Modiji ! Any suggestion ! ,

[@vishalgupta86]

The problem with these Western-educated intellectuals is that they get half of it right and half of it wrong. But they need to convince their side that they got it rightfully. For example, RSS asks their pracharak not to have family ties because of Siddhant of Yogi's Life and principles rooted in Hinduism. Ordinary Hindus know this. RSS is not going anywhere, and the BJP is not changing as it did not change earlier the BJP times of Advani and Vajpayee. Ideology is a loose construct in today's diverse and modern world but has far certain boundaries. Like Sanatan Dharma, you are santani as long as you don't subscribe to monolithic faith principles and believe in letting everybody live in peace, etc., The more I come to this podcast, the better it is to hear the pain and the brainstorming among lost liberals on how BJP is winning, and as Sanatani, we pass these inputs back to RSS and the BJP think tank and learn. As Chanakya said, keep your enemy closer !!

[@SMJdenim]

"Confused market" was indeed a good question. So the simple answer is that BJP is not exclusive to muslims but Congress is exclusive to Hindus in their hate of BJP. Short answer Barkha. And that is why people are voting for BJP.

[@dahirking]

Wow I never knew this Gem MR Sitapati is there among us, Hope Barkha will learn more about Hindus & RSS through these wonderful podcasts, still she worries a lot about 200 mi Muslims more than the Hindus who had suffered till 2014.

[@priyaprateek]

This is the most sensible discourse on Modi, RSS and Hindutva I have seen on electronic media. Must buy the book!

[@amalpurandare7283]

Whats totally missing here in this discussion is the Hindu Spiritual Teachings. Most of their mindset is driven by the Principals of Bhagvad Gita, the Vedas and Manusmriti. In fact all of it. If you actually compare, there is very little difference between Shri Krishna's life and Modi's conduct. The way of solving problems, teachings all similar. No wonder do you find the PM quoting Sanskrit Verses so often in his speech - a philosophy very dear to his heart. So unless you understand what krishna or The Gita core philosophies are, you will go off track in interpreting BJP's behaviour.

[@SanjayGupta-lj4yf]

Please don't rake your brains too much. Modi is doing what he promised in his manifesto. Policy of appeasement which was practised all these years is now defunct

[@kamalakaryahoo395]

So nicely explained, unity and sacrifice even in the face of adversity is the hall mark of Sangh which is also Hindu Nationalism. Properly backed by examples of Advani and Modi

[@djprabha8801]

Excellent interview, congrats Bharka , in my organisation 30 years back , no one discussed politics or religion, but today the same people are aggressively discussing religion and Modi politics, quite a huge change 👍

[@soumimukherjee6748]

I like this conversation despite being a bjp voter since 99…it’s a very good argument on why we flock towards Modi

[@reecosmicatomsb8576]

BJP didn't exist in West Bengal in 1999.😂😂

[@jagmohanprajapati1231]

Please bring bjp in west bengal.

[@sb9060]

Why are the Hindus changing.... Why ? WHY? WHY? The answer is - Hindus are not merely seeing the streets.... Actually, Hindus have been *observing and experiencing the streets like never before* . Hindus are getting the truth directly from first hand experience. Hindus now don't require any middle man to tell the reality they are in, anymore ....

[@contemporaryseer1084]

​@@reecosmicatomsb8576 not all Bengalis live in Bengal.Assam and Tripura also has crores of Bengalis

[@rajatsaha93]

Loved this. Seems Barkha learnt a lot and is shocked at some facts

[@sudheendrakulkarni1124]

Barkha thanks for bringing this very good conversation! Subtle portraying of Hindu nationalism in negative connotations doesn’t surprise me, but I am amused at the shallow maturity displayed in the conversation to comprehend depth of Hinduism and being very magnanimous to all other who invaded this land is appalling ! Please one can still learn to see truth as the truth rather than concocted history!

[@CSJH87]

Also the reduction of Hindutva to just a Hindu votebank consolidation rather than acknowledging the renaissance of Hindus who are connecting back to their roots unapologetically is a reflection of the La La Land these intellectuals are living in.

When you are comparing vajpayee and Modi take into account vajpayee s weeknesses

[@katsu9978]

I would love to see Barkha do some research on how Hindus fed up with terrorism and how it changed their mindset. Certain section of people perpetrate and then play the victim card if there is a reaction. It is always a good idea to learn about the other side too. Barkha needs some humility to learn and an open mindset.

[@SachinGupta-ve6sk]

One of the finest interview seen after long time. Well researched, touches every subject very aptly

[@srinivasanm.v475]

No one seems to appreciate the sterling qualities of Modi, his vision, his patriotic fervor, his efficiency his hard-working , his selfless approach, his simplicity , his affection for the poor of this country, his commitment, his ability to inspire even world leaders.

[@login2earth]

One of the best interviews I have seen for a while. And I commend Vinay for being upfront about topics he doesn’t want to speculate. That’s a breath of fresh air.

[@bbs_chintu]

These guys looks everything as political. Appreciate some true work happened in the ground.... give the due to the people who deserve it.

[@sourabhbhattacharya3411]

Muslims politics, policies and political leaders have not changed even after partition, independence movement and mugal era... questions is to them the muslims to answer. Peaceful co existence is impossible under 'sar tan se juda, kamlesh tiwari, kanaihyalal' incidents and slogans, influence of Islam and Md...

[@incubusk8r]

Call every one to talk about hindutva and define hindutva apart from people who believe in hindutva.

[@mountolympus1098]

So what we got. Hindutva is okay with lgbtq, hindutva is okay with non traditional views, hindutva is against caste. And your always point out what about muslims? Aks them first them do muslims want peace? Their activities doesn't show that

[@Raghav461]

"Popularity imbalance between Modi and everyone else in the BJP" Beautiful observation and explanation for why the BJP works the way it does.

[@gauravaggarwal6083]

Am I only one who thinks Vinay is stuck in his idea of RSS view of Hindu unity…he seems to discount the totality of Modi power…

[@sajal3182]

End of the day, Institution lasts longer than individual. Modi can do wonder, but to ensure long-lasting sucess of India, RSS is the way to go

[@vipintripathi2831]

[@prithvirajsomdev3006]

.She trying to stay relevant. The Congress was so sure of a victory in 2019 that Kapil Sibal launched Tiranga TV with Barkha as the head. Had the result been otherwise Barkaa would've been telling us what to do. If conceit can be personified that would be Barkha

[@AbhishekSharma-gi6eg]

Fascinating conversation. Always a big fan of Vinay's works. India is so complex. Who would have thought Jinnah's grandson funding Jana sangh 😊 Bharat ratna followed a pattern , to stetch Vinay's words : Mandir, Mandal, Market and Maatti ( soil for agriculture )

[@neerajbhalla1]

One of the most insightful, informative and interesting interviews. For most of us who are also deracinated(!) by virtue of birth and education an understanding of the impulses, philosophy and culture that has given rise to the phenomenon of Modi and what lies ahead for our country, this has been most educative. Thanks Barkha ,keep up your brilliant work and damn the naysayers!

[@geess007]

Fair play to BD. She has come far since the days of BarkhaGate scandal. Well done. Be honest and put biases aside and ask honest questions.

[@patmclaughlin107]

+1

[@nareshchoudhary1795]

She changed coz of irrelevancy factor. Remember she started Tiranga Change with Sibal's funding. The day she become relevant in MSM she will revert back to her original self. But Yes I like this BD more.

[@orunabho]

What if I say, Jinnah was a Hindu nationalist, and he partitioned British India, curving out India from British India to save Hinduism. 😉 And he wanted all Indian Muslims out of India into Pakistan just to save Hindu Civilization, doing justice to his forefathers. Amd islamist Nehru just stopped the population exchange after Jinnah died.

[@vrishalisonar453]

intellectually satisfying conversation. Thanks Barkha.

Handover all destroyed temple can be a true goodwill gestures, we already have lost 2/3 of our land as Pakistan and Bangladesh entirely due to a certain religion, though Jews, Jain, Buddhist had no issue with the majority community! And get rid of WAQF anarchy first

I think that will be only way for our society's peace and progressive or it will only cause muslims.

Incredible insights from Vinay Sitapati

[@pritesh0117]

Whether you like Barkha or not for her political ideology, but her style of questioning is par-excellence! She is one of the BEST journalists of our time - well read/researched! She is ONE of those very few journalists (Smita Prakash/Shekhar Gupta), who can hold my attention for hours…
