The Right and Left in India - Dr. David Frawley - India Inspires Talks India Inspires 2015-11-27 | In this Talk, Dr. Frawley clearly explains the intellectual roots of "The Right" and "The Left" in India. He states that in India, the political terminology of right and left is defined by Marxists, who like to call anyone that opposes them right-wing or fascists. According to their view anything traditionally Hindu would have to be right-wing on principle, just as only their views are deemed progressive, even if supporting Stalinist tactics. This means that in India such subjects as Yoga, natural healing, vegetarianism and animal rights are all automatically right-wing because they are causes of the Hindu mind, with antecedents in ancient Indian culture. Great Hindu yogis and sages from Shankaracharya to Sri Aurobindo are classified by modern Marxists as right-wing, if not fascist.However, the Indian left is mainly the Old Left, emphasizing a failed communist ideology and state economic planning such as dominated Eastern Europe in the decades following World War II and took it nowhere. It wreaked the same havoc with the economy and educational systems of India and kept the country backward. Indian communists are among the few in the world that still proudly honor Stalin and Mao (while warning of the danger of Hindu fundamentalism)!

Sarva Dharma Sambhav (Are all Religions the Same ?) - Dr. David Frawley - India Inspires Talks India Inspires 2015-11-16 | In this talk, Dr. David Frawley raises very fundamental questions related to religious traditions across the world. He begins his talk by scrutinizing basic assumption that state - Are all Religions the Same ? or Is there a Sarva Dharma Sambhav?He finds that the view of Sarva Dharma Samabhava has been turned into a political principle in modern India. It has come to dominate the thinking of the country and has been turned into the main tool of trying to harmonize different, often conflicting religious communities. However other countries in the world, notably nearby Pakistan and Bangladesh, have not taken it up. Religions espousing an exclusive or final revelation like Christianity and Islam have almost uniformly opposed it.They do not think that their religion is just one among many but is the only, the last or the highest. They do not recognize genuine diversity in religious beliefs but divide the world into the true believers and the unbelievers. The disharmony between religion remains and in many instances has grown worse. Nor has this idea served to create an equality of views even within Hinduism where different sects still compete with one another.Therefore, one is compelled to examine this issue further. Is the equality of all religions a spiritual principle that is fundamentally true or a wishful statement designed to try to create harmony in spite of actual differences between groups? Can such mere wishful thinking eradicate real differences and contrary beliefs? And is it the real meaning of Sarva Dharma Samabhava?About Speaker : - Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri) D.

Jesus Christ and the Psychology of Prophetism - Dr Koenraad Elst - India Inspires Talks India Inspires 2015-07-23 | In this talk, Dr Koenraad Elst discuss about the life and teaching of Prophet Jesus Christ. He explains the phenomenon of Prophetism and Exclusivist Religion. He further shares the evolution of Christianity in West and shed light on how European Christians of many generations have outgrown Christianity. Most people who left the Church have found that they are not missing anything, and that the beliefs which once provided a framework for interpreting and shaping life, were but a bizarre and unnecessary construction after all. We now know that Jesus was not God’s Only-begotten Son, that he did not save humanity from eternal sin, and that our happiness in this world or the next does not depend on believing these or any other dogmas.He also talks about how Christianity is perceived in India. In India, he says that it is sad and sometimes comical to see how these outdated beliefs are being foisted upon backward sections of the Indian population by fanatical missionaries. In their aggressive campaign to sell their product, the missionaries are helped a lot by sentimental expressions of admiration for Christianity on the part of leading Hindus. Many Hindus project their own religious categories on the few Jesus episodes they have heard, and they base their whole attitude to Christianity on a selective, incoherent and unhistorical version of the available information on Jesus life and teachings.
How Leftists spread Lies - Ravi Shanker Kapoor - India Inspires Talks India Inspires 2015-05-31 | In this talk, Ravi Shanker Kapoor deals with the influence of the Left, which is greatly disproportionate to their political strength in India. Despite the fact that their theories have been discredited and proved disastrous all over the world, Left-leaning intellectuals continue to dominate India’s public discourse. He deals with the techniques and tricks they employ to perpetuate their dominance.He concludes with the mantra that right-thinking people should always doubt whatever the Left says; statements made by intellectuals should be viewed as lies unless proven otherwise. For this to happen, Kapoor also exhorts the people to discard fickleness and get involved in the matters that impact politics, economy, society, and culture.About Ravi Shanker KapoorRavi Shanker Kapoor is a journalist and author. He has spent 25 years in journalism, over 10 of which were with The Financial Express.

Obsessions of Indian Intellectuals - Part II - Dr. Kapil Kapoor - India Inspires Talks India Inspires 2015-05-31 | In this talk, Dr. Kapil Kapoor shed light on psychology of Indian Intellectuals with especial focus on their obsessions. Few things that these intellectuals are perennially worries about are: caste, sati, superstition, minorities, gender and about the environment especially about whatever Hindus do, is polluting. These intellectuals are to be distinguished from Hinduism's traditional men of knowledge, or Rishi-s. The Rishi-s were devoted to the welfare of society, and they encouraged responsibility, self-reliance and cheerfulness. By contrast, our present "intellectuals" are only Buddhi-Jivi-s, those who "use their intellect to make a living". They have certain typical characteristics:• They are worried, with a perennially worried look on their carefully careless-looking faces. • They have a sense of bad luck. Thus, why did they have to be born in a poor "developing country" rather than in America? • They bemoan everything. They are like Rudali-s, professional mourners; these intellectuals mourn all the time. • They suffer from a Hanuman complex. Hanuman was so strong that the gods were afraid of him and cursed him to forget his strength until someone would remind him. So, they forget about the past glories of their own civilization. • They have a Tittiri complex. The Tittiri is an Indian bird that sleeps on its back with its feet skywards, as if supporting the heavens so that they don't fall. Likewise, the intellectuals think that their enduring concern is needed to save India.• And a little extra to cap it all: intellectuals are good at talking about a book without having read it. This they call "meta-study". (Or as their hero Ayatollah Khomeini said about Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses: "You don't need to jump into a dungheap to know that it stinks.")Thanks to Dr. Koernaad Elst for this apt summary of Kapil Kapoor’s talk.Full text is available here - http://koenraadelst.blogspot.in/2015/03/indias-intellectuals.htmlAbout Dr. Kapil Kapoor:Dr. Kapil Kapoor is an Indian scholar of linguistics and literature and an authority on Indian intellectual traditions.

Is our constitution Indian ? - Shri Devendra Swarup - India Inspires Talks India Inspires 2015-05-24 | This talk raises the core issues and questions that force us to rethink about the constitutional framework and the structures of governance that India has evolved during the British times. Shri Devendra Swarup began his talk by raising the question whether the India that we see today, three generations after Independence, was the free India for which our forefathers had fought and sacrificed so much. Is this the India that our forefathers had seen as a beacon for the world? Is this the India the vision of which had inspired many generations? Why have we failed to realise that vision? Devendra Swarup argues that one of the main causes of the problems that we face as a nation is the Constitution of India. The Constitution of India failed to bestow and we have over the last six decades failed to evolve any new institutions of our own. Part of the reason perhaps lies in the fact that the new constitution that we adopted for ourselves after Independence preserved, more or less intact, the entire structure of public institutions that the British had evolved for ruling India.He informs about the actual making of the Constitution and the key people involved in the effort. And how the Assembly was constituted, how it functioned and who were the people actually involved in the framing of the Constitution? Was it made by our leaders or by the then British Viceroy? He elaborates that many important leaders of the national movement were part of the Constituent Assembly. Therefore there is a strong, though mistaken, belief that we made this Constitution for ourselves. To know how this Constitution came into being and what were the ideas and thoughts that animated this exercise, we need to go into the detailed history of the making of the Constitution and to the earlier periods when the various ideas and institutions enshrined in the Constitution slowly evolved through the contingencies of imperial and colonial governance.About Devendra SwarupDevendra Swarup is the Former Director, Deendayal Research Institute, New Delhi and edited its Quarterly Research Journal MANTHAN (English and Hindi separately).

Ram and Ayodhya - Dr Meenakshi Jain - India Inspires Talks India Inspires 2015-05-23 | Over the past two decades, several Left-wing historians have indulged in high-voltage propaganda that Rama was not a deity before Tulsidas wroteRamcharit Manas in the 16th century. The purpose, of course, is to discredit the movement for reclamation of his birthplace. For if there is no proof of Rama and his Ayodhya, the movement falls into disrepute.Historian Meenakshi Jain has given a robust reply to those who question the historicity of Rama as deity, and provided ample historical proof of Ayodhya as the city of Rama. She leaves no stone unturned in collating all historical and literary evidence relating to Lord Rama. In her talks she cites evidences from literature, sculpture and epigraphy to prove about the popularity of Rama since antiquity. The question of his becoming a deity only after the publication of Ramcharit Manas in the era of the Mughal emperor Akbar, has been answered with ample evidence to discourage even the most arrogant Leftist historian from repeating old lies again.About Meenakshi Jain :Meenakshi Jain is an Associate Professor of History at Gargi College, University of Delhi. She was Fellow, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, Teen Murti.
A Tale of Two Calendars - Dr C K Raju - India Inspires Talks India Inspires 2015-05-22 | The Christian (Gregorian) calendar is a thoroughly unscientific calendar. This calendar, which propagates superstition and historical untruth, is the only calendar that most Western educated people learn. The Western educated elite in India rarely know much about the traditional Indian calendar and they regard the Christian calendar as secular and universal!The traditional Indian calendar is an accurate and scientific calendar, which avoids superstition and historical untruths. In India, agricultural success required a good calendar which could tell the monsoons accurately. The Indian calendar has a concept of the rainy months of Sawan and Bhadon, known to every Indian child through the culture. This calendar should, therefore, have been adopted after independence. If science is not mindless belief in the West, the traditional Indian calendar must continue to be used till one has a demonstrably better theory of the monsoons. This would probably save the lives of millions of Indian farmers.About Dr. Chandra Kant Raju - He is a computer scientist, mathematician, educator, physicist,and polymath researcher.
