    I thought this would be informative lecture by Milan but actually was more of a anti Modi and anti -Hindutva rant. India is a Civilizational State not a Nation state and its amply displayed by the vast diversity it has united by the Spiritual unity of Sanatan Dharma . Sacred pilgrimages and journeys was been done since ancient times uniting all the diversity that exits in Bharat with a spiritual/Dharmic consciousness. To deny this truth about thousands of years old civilization and culture the due recognition which has survived the loot and invasion and slavery done by the Islamic Invaders and later by the Christian Colonizers and just to think it was just born in 1947 after Independence without having any link to its ancient past is just plain wrong. THe Abrahamic faiths both Islam and Christianity which believe in SUpremacists and Exclusivist ideology that only their religion is true and all other faiths are false or inferior and now going to teach about liberalism and openness to Hindus who are the most diverse , liberal and open philosophy which actually respects all other faiths and doesnt just "tolerate " them. The word Secularism and Socialism was not there in the Original Constitution preamble but was inserted during the Emergency period of Indira Gandhi for political purposes. Secularism in India meant equal treatment of all religions without any favour or discrimination against any. Its not like in the west . But in practise Secularism meant Vote Bank politics / pandering to the minorities / creating victimhood mentality among minority especially Muslims and fear mongering about the Majority Hindu community. One of the best examples is the overturning the Supreme court judgement of Shah Bano case which called for compensation being given to her but then denied for pandering to the Muslim religious leaders for votes. Regarding the Ram Temple made on the birthplace of Lord Ram the whole base was the Islamic invaders had destroyed thousands of important Hindu temples and deliberately built Mosques over it to show the superiority of their Islamic religion over the Hindu faith. THese they have mentioned in their very own court documents proudly saying how they destroyed the idolators temples. This was a commonly done by the both the Islamic and Christian soldiers against temples in Europe / America /Asia. Why deny these ugly truth of Islamic rule of India before the British colonisers and blame as if the Hindus are the ones who are intolerant. THe Hindus have been fighting for this particular Lord Ram Temple for around 500 years. Even the Britishers have records about this particular dispute between the HIndus and Muslims. Sikh leaders also fought for this Ram temple .WHy keep lying about all these truths and painting a picture as if the Hindus are becoming intolerant. HIndus are only reclaiming the ancient temples destroyed by the Islamic Invaders.

No matter what you do, BJP knows fully well now, these minority peacefuls will not vote them-inturn BJP as made them irrelevent -because congress party knows peacefuls have no choice but them and they have stopped pampering as before and BJP have completely neglected them. Mlims instead of voting on the basis of issues ,always vote enmass on basis of religion. They have to reform . As far as US lecturing others about 'liberal' democracy it must see internally and reform itself. The less said about US democracy ,the better it is.

    Thats a strange title for an academic speech, eg including "war of aggression" in the title before establishing any facts. Sounds like knowingly feeling guilty that the opposite is true. Which is what the evidence shows: eg US in the 1990's committed to Russia that Ukraine would NOT be accepted into NATO, hence Russia's naval base on Crimea could remain there. Then, US tries to get Ukraine into NATO (orange revolution). So if something like that happened to the US, eg China anexes South Korea, closes US naval bases, if US fights to keep naval bases who would you say was the aggressor? And Russia's position is worse than that.

    • @pplr1

      Russian tanks and troops moved into Ukrainian lands with no Ukrainian threats to Russia. It is pretty obvious Putin started this and that it is a "war of aggression" by Putin-the evidence shows that. I noticed you misrepresented what the "revolutions" in Ukraine were about and by whom (hint: think Ukrainians).

It's not British administrative brilliance that formed India....a "collection of states" that was already referred to in Europe by one name prior to being "discovered?" But seriously, can you westerners just butt out of our democracy? We don't believe yours is superior with the coddling of Khalistanis who vandalise our temples in Canada and the US without consequence in the "liberal" democracies of the world...where politics are pay for play, your population is so polarised, and your elite institutions embrace anti-semitism. Our press is a lot freer, our debate more robust, you do not have credibility to lecture us when the state partners with extremist muslim senators in California to try to foist a fake "caste" discrimination case on a Cisco employee....didn't hold up in court.
