Foreigners may not be able to translate our texts so well as in India the different parts of the country follow a different style of translation of the puranas and they will not be able to gather that in a lifetime.

[@sadenb]

Practitioners and gurus should translate these .

[@Raghava9]

Common people should read the existing translations

[@ghostrider9261]

Does that Bibek debroy speak in the same way even at his house

[@Heretic-007]

What?

[@saundaryasingh5530]

If u don't know then read it before saying do not know. We read more than 200 books in school

[@vcoona]

the dates they are quoting at 33:30 may not be accurate. Some of the events describes in these scriptures go back thousands if years.. the document may have been written down only in AD.

[@piyushsonone7]

we got information about The Great Ashoka from purana he is not mentioned in any other text..

[@SKsupesdmr]

You are moron .We got information from his rock and pillars edicts. Vedas has contributed nothing but hatred .It should be banned.

[@wacky9075]

@@SKsupesdmr don't talk about Vedas at all moron. 1st ban Bible & Quran moron.

[@WBSchoolOfMaths]

@@SKsupesdmr please mention the slokas form Vedas.

[@punisherwarlord]

@@SKsupesdmr But the only hatred here is in your sentence and the way u interact ... a man who cant disagree without abusive words is not even fit to attend a discussion of this level... kindly go back to ur woodwork... you are not fit to stand in an intellectual environment

[@Heretic-007]

Lol what Crap. Ashoka is not Great and certainly not part on any Purana. Your Mythology textbooks aren't Puranas

[@poonamabbi7448]

Is Mr.Bibek Debroy take the discussions/guidance of the Sanskrit scholars, when "translating" the texts, or he is just doing whatever makes them acceptable, palatable to those who are going to read these? Are they only doing it to do to the Hindu textsjust to make it less uncomfortable for the western scholars? I get the feeling that more people are making it only to please the westerns whoare insisting that THEY are the original intelligent people who TAUGHT the people to "create Hindu texts from the Bible & Islam" That will be really only the twisting & appropriation of the culture & robbing the Hindus of their ownership

[@abhimanyudharma21]

Pushpesh pant is not interested in asking any serious honest queries &questions. What rubbish he is talking about sitting with a white fellow? Stupid/Dork/Dhakkan- Puspesh! Dharma shastras are not meant for your entertainment purpose. Illegitimate children of Macaulay are these pseudo-intellectuals!!

[@bhanuprakash3212]

Why is he pronouncing Puraanaas like a westerner? looks odd from an Indian.

[@rekhajhilmeet4506]

Bhanu Prakash wannabe British😂

[@jatinderbhan]

I believe that is the way these words are pronounced in Sanskrit. Just like Ram is pronounced as such in Hindi, but in Sanskrit it is Rama; same with Puraan: Puraan in Hindi, Puraana in Sanskrit. Yog in Hindi, Yoga in Sanskrit.....so on and so forth.

Read Nilesh Oak's dating of the Mahabharata

[@SummusPrinceps]

It is false

[@vednote]

@@SummusPrinceps your existence is false

[@SummusPrinceps]

@@vednote Very mature comment, but no. His dating is based on astrology presented within the mahabharata, wich is very unreliable considering it was composed by many authors over the span of centuries.

[@SantoshGairola]

Not undermining either Bibek Debroy or Pushpesh Pant, but why are they invited to talk on Puranas, when 100s of actual traditional scholars are available?

[@DipakBose-bq1vv]

This is a $10000 question. These people are irrelevant.

[@jatinderbhan]

i believe these people, especially Debroy , are highly effective compared to traditional scholars. The key here is to engage this westernized audience. They are practitioners of the tradition and therefore are likely to present a correct interpretation compared to western scholars like Wendy Doniger whose main focus is on presenting a distorted adharmic point of view.

[@Heretic-007]

​@@DipakBose-bq1vv where are those traditional scholars? Why are Western Indologists considered reliable? Why is Shashi Tharoor considered reliable
