Salman Rushdie is a precious gem from India. He deserves massive respect.
He lived in Pakistan as well
Bharat ratna
Hocus Pocus lol he didnt he was born in bombay
@@Tragic.Kingdom so, you are implying, we should also give credit to pakistan.
Bro, he would be dead and lynched by mob in pakistan.
have u read his controversial book
Am absolutely amazed at his composure, uprightness in talking his mind, the choice of words and language
Wonderful talk! Loved it. Mr. Rushdie is blessed with wisdom.
fathun karim bro is not a good person he is enemy of Islam
fathun karim: He got the the devil, his last name is calling him Rush-die. He takes the mind of people who are willingly to pay attention of his antireligion views, but don't let him fool you. In the religion that your are, if you ask the CREATOR were to find the truth that you need help HE will give help.
fathun karim : Rush-die wisdom come from the DEVIL he is antichrist, with a lot modern sociology to awnser your questions with the intended outcome to his believes.
_not with wisdom, but with_ *cunnings*

Salman Rushdie what a clever and eloquent man,fantastic writer, brilliant human being, we need more writers like him, very honest in what he says
P
Fuck man his answers are out of context and you are making him clever just hate for religion makes this false statement
love this man. Indians have an unhealthy fascination with restrictions on freedom.
Oh God shake , Bharat is only country where different cultural and different faiths living here with peacefully. So don't use this line again . Do u know ? We are living largest democracy and something incident happened that true . But it doesn't mean whole system is useless. So use your brain ,before delivery comment here. Don't insult Bharat . Never and ever . Little knowledge is more dangerous thing. Remember this word forever.
@Jobje Rabbeljee How dare u talking like this moron. You have no right for attacked on others faith. You didn't know the real meaning of Hinduism. I swear ,if I would find u . I show u a real pictures about Sanatan dharam . Moron and bastrad
sabita Das: you must be all for freedome and free speach?
@@sabitadas8686 by ordering him "don't insult Bharat..never ever"
..arent you proving his point?
The thing is self criticism is encouraged in western society, while discouraged in South Asia. People here always look for flaws in their country, not try to turn blind eye. That's why these societies has flourished far more than India. Nationalism is used way too much there by politicians. So now they can get away with providing so less to the people of India and people won't criticise india's moves for fear of insulting India. Talk about flaws, not achievements. Talk about the deprived people not the ones who already have privilage.
@@София-д3р7д why to talk about flaws... Y don't you step forward and do something or even co-operate with the Government to eradicate the flaws.... People with wisdoms deal with problems and cowards are just to sit and criticize!!
It seems in your whole career u have met with people who had always talked about your flaws😁😁
Words of a person tells about his background😂
I don't know how pessimistic people like you are shaping your upcoming generations.... But it's horrible!!
The only way to save Salman Rushdie, Patty Samuel , Taslema Nasreen, Nupur Sharma, Kalburgi and Kanihya Lal is to promote free speech critical of Mohammed and Quran, Geeta and Krishna, Jesus and Christianity. Offense is the best defense.
Salman is simply humanist. That human beings by nature, with or without religious institution or diverse theological persuasion, has the intrinsic nature to know right from wrong. And live with it. Like human intrinsic nature to explore, discover and find scientific advancement in industry, economics and technology, to uplift mankind.
*Have the intrinsic nature to know right from wrong*
Probably the most ignorant statement ever. Right and wrong are subjective and cannot withstand the test of time.
Padma got affected with him lol man
@@CatOfTiktok7 Not really all that subjective. Good = generally useful. Wrong = generally harmful. Where we need to be careful is in defining useful and harmful because those words can be twisted to intimidate and control and manipulate people a la islam.
@@CatOfTiktok7 "Right and wrong are subjective and cannot withstand the test of time." the sort of thing you'd expect to hear from a religion where people think it's justified to stab someone because they said something you didn't like about their beliefs
muslims when people indulge their bullshit: see i told you we're a religious of peace uwu we're so kind and loving
muslims when you say something bad about them: FUCK YOU I KILL YOU INFIDEL
@@greyngreyer5 dont confuse good and bad with right and wrong. Something can be good but be wrong....
how shameful it is to see that half of the people here are not aware of Rushdie's work and what they stand for.
raj mishra Half? I think all.
Yes, I agree, especially the 3 women who asked dumb questions. Feel sorry for this crowd
They're more powerful peoples more than him and some new ones are keeping on coming/born . Also hes doing it for living .
Yes, only the devil worshipers would gather to listen to the devil. Who has no ethics and moral values. /Salaam/peace -A convert to Islam.
_all are aware that this guy rip-offs with his book and got free promotion from Iran's Ayatollah. Different guy wrote a book that Yeshua sought Buddha's refuge and walked away with loads from imbeciles. There are always huge illiterates out there one can easily exploit it_
Rushdie’s refined and sophisticated 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and thought provoking! And witty! A good half-an-hour well spent 🙂
Thank God ,I born in hindu family.my religion taught me to question everything.I didn't bind myself to my particular book.i can question to my god also.if I feel the god so i can believe if I not so I don't bind to follow.thats freedom I want which hinduism provided.
Saprateev Das Hinduism is nothing but Indian school of thoughts, which even includes Nastikatva` Atheism. It just doesn't ask you to believe in something unless you really want to.
@@saprateevdas8422 I didn't asked your opinion about my religion so shut your mouth and follow what you believe
Did u ever question the inequality in hinduism?
true. very true
@@ZephyrBreeze01 yes,I know cast system is acting like cancer in Hinduism religion.i know due to brahman and rajput fake superiority they are discriminated SC ST people.But hinduism is broad so that I like the seeker philosophy of Hinduism
irrespective of his religious beliefs...i respect Salam sir for his view on freedom of speech
Thats a hidden Hindu in you speaking.
@@molecule00madness that's a madrasaa educated asshole in you speaking
Likhit Shirke You should read that comment again..
One Mad Molecule does that mean you think your faith shouldn’t have freedom of speech?
What a pleasure to listen to this articulate, insightful and humane man.
tony bennett Hi, have you ever read the satanic verses , in full ?
lol he's peice of sheit
@@haque7104 explain how's he a piece of Shitt
@@bobmac1819 Read his book and you'll know. Calling his sheit is still a respect. He's actually more than shit
@@haque7104 So He Writes About Islam/Muhammad so he's Shit?
May he recover quickly from the attack and may it be the catalyst for the world to realise that violence in the name of religion can never ever be right and that it harms those who carry out or believe in violence even more than it harms their victims. Hatred of others only leads to others hating the haters and on and on ……
He lost his eye lol. And he deserves that cuz not only Muslims also hindu , sikh he target through this book
@@junjiito6619 someone deserves to lose an eye over words?!?!
Isn’t it interesting that no Hindu or Sikh has attacked him 🤔
Let me give you a hint - if god exists and is all powerful then he doesn’t need minuscule humans to defend on his behalf. I’m sure no words will ever impact god.
This man is great.......
First read satan verses book of him..he disrespected our beloved prophet..they say this
@@03214433320 this is his right to underestimate anyone who is not a personally property but a ideology.And I also hate some ideology of Muhammad but why should I be banned from society?
Are u Muslim please tell me
@@03214433320 have u read the satanic verses ? On which page is exactly ur concern with?
@@nasreennasreen4741 i am a muslim and got no problem with salman rushdie. Like he said in the session, if u have anything against him, u have the freedom to openly express. Dont call for ban/boycott etc. Thats not how a debate happens in democratic society
i like this person, as i have seen from my childhood we are taught that this man is enemy of Islam..but he is something diffrent
Maz Peters
* hear hear
yes he is ... so you as a muslim should go back to your community and tell them all that Sir Rushdie is a wonderful man ,,, and all muslims should follow his example .... LEAVE ISLAM ...
Where are you from???
he is enemy of every religion like me
Kader Khan you are a 🐖
Swift, articulate, purposeful, humane wisdom. Thank you, Sir.
these are some of the dumbest questions that Rushdie has ever had to answer
Yeah the first speaker talking about women as arm candy. Omgosh. Mindboggling ingorance.
And will anyy women asks questions? I hope so.
No surprise, it shows the intellect of india
@@riffraff8020 Hater's alert
Exactly that idiot asks did u wondered that this will happen after u will write satanic versus
When he says, region is chosen and race is one born with, at first thought religion is also something that we are born with, most of the time. When they attack the religion we think they are attacking us. But what I didn't realize is that we are the ones that choose to cling to the religion we are born in. We don't even realize that we have the freedom to choose. Religions are nothing but ideas. The ideas that we pursue the best in our lives. Ideas keep evolving. But why would one want it limited to those formed thousands of years back.
Especially if the basis wasn’t wise thousands of years ago ie at conflict with those who don’t follow the same ideas but when the ideas were wise thousands of years back, that wisdom is timeless and no need to discard it. We need to be wisely discerning. Sadly with Islam, some are born into it, may not believe it but are fearful of grave punishment and being ostracised if they want to leave it. Because their is so much hatred of non believers in Islam, it is hardly surprising that a very high proportion of such nonbelievers hate the religion and its adherents….you reap what you sow.
Wonderful storyteller. Politically a pseudo-intellect.
Religion is a copied idea. There are ideas which most of us have copied growing up and came a time when we trashed them because they proved not to be true. How I wish people can think deeply about religion and make judgement for themselves.
@@phillipngongo7398 if religions bring happiness and anchor into people’s lives, would you be against it ?
@@buridah328 if it makes them happy, so be it otherwise I would never waste my precious short life advocating for it.
Civilised gathering. Who cares how good or bad the questions are.
Rushdie turns them all into gold.
So true!
One of the most intelligent souls ever visited on this planet.. ❤❤
I enjoyed his speaking and answers. It was awesome hearing him talk about Hitchens.
Hitchens was someone that defended him when he had a fatwa against him.
Even when on an Australian TV show when an abhorrent woman said that Rushdie offended a billion plus people with his book (weak skinned culture aren't they) and therefore, he didn't deserve his free speech right and his liberty/life protected by security.
This is why the narrative is lost. People who defend these barbarians and their "culture" because... "Oh well their culture should be respected because it's their ways."
No...it doesn't. At all. The war of ideas means that often, one idea is superior
The man is clearly an intellectual. The audience is clearly not and asking intellectual questions. Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran helped him also to become famous apart from his intelligence and he said that banning something makes it popular!!
⛳️Who is watching this wonderful Q & A session in Aug 2022, the day after he is brutally attacked in NY?
his answers are almost surgical in their precision and clarity. i think this was a particularly inspired one, and he seems so cheerful
Rushdie roasts some brainwashed people.
I have to say though he is a massive full of himself elitist.
I am a voracious reader and i hate any author putting down other authors
It was shocking that he insulted Agatha Christie
Show me one man who has even reached her level in the genre she operates in
I see you're one of them.
Top stuff Sir. Indeed we are hardwired to seek the answer of good and bad.And religious texts or rituals should be taken in liberal spirit of discussion and debates rather than something which is forced on you.
@Nadia Azari totally agree
@Nadia Azari yeah 🙌
Respect, the man who liberates ignorant imprisoned Muslim minds!!!!!!
Muslims are imprisoned in what?
Z this liberalation leading you some where? Where? Whats the purpose of life? Who created this universe? How our body system is so meticulous? Its seems someone is behind this creation..... Rushdi never responded to these
He hanged himself.... Inshallah every enemy of Islam and inshallah every one will accepting Islam inshallah
4.03 freedom of expression
Freedom of hearing..,. That is : I can choose what to hear or take into consideration, provided my life is not in peril following what was said.
If there is a god somewhere, this man has definitely been blessed by him.
He's being cursed by god
Of course there is a God!
He doesn't belief in any god how can he be blessed.
Mr Blanc why of course?
"If you don't like it, don't read it.!!"
Exactly.
In a growing number of places in the world, people are losing their ability to control their emotional responses and do easily take offense, equating such offenses as actual physical abuses. Grow up. Facts don't care about your feelings, emotions have no place in a debate. Whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"....? Ohhhh right... it is hate speech to criticize islam, it's "prophet" and its book. How silly of me to forget...pffft. Look to the fruits produced and one can see clearly.... a complete lack of self control in emotive responses, actually, a lack of self control in more than one area, and it hardly seems "spirit filled".
6:08 Chetan Bhagat is like "These are all serious talks and why am I even here ?"
oo man he is an intelligent man. i really admire his wisdom.
Well this is first QnA with Rushdie that I see today.. and I must say that he is a grt thinker and I agree with his views about every question that is asked to him.... he has clear mindset...
Fun Facts: Reason why Rushdie criticize and left Islam and is a brilliant humanist because he stayed away from Madarsas and islamic preaches as he was sent to Britain at an early age of 14, where he had best in class education and learned how to think logically and not religiously.👍👍 Good luck!
There are plenty in europe and in fact europe is getting madarsa education soon so just keep crying ...and the other reason could be he could have been a rapist in india and could be child molester or a womanizer or a hypocrite so much he avoided and become an atheist god knows he is atheist or not he is still salman rushdi he knows that Quran emphasize a lot on forgiving he read it and has his own view so for him its not like that difficult to ask Allah to forgive him ...
But still Hope he recovers and Ask forgiveness from almighty sooner or later he has to taste the medicine of death
Rushdie's view on religion are spot on. Very interesting man to listen to.
It's always a pleasure to listen to this man.
I should mention in the beginning two noble verses in the Holy Quran which teaches us that there are 7 heavens and 7 orbits one above another lying in a flat space. Let us start with chapter 78 verse 12 in the Holy Quran which tells us what means: "And Constructed above you seven strong (heavens)". This noble verse among many others teaches us that there are 7 heavens. Then let us see the surat al Muminun verse 17 in the Holy Quran which tells us what means: "And indeed, We (Allah) Created above you 7 levels (roads). We (Allah) Are never unmindful of (Our creation)". This noble verse teaches us that there are 7 roads of the heavens. When taken together, the above-mentioned noble verses teach us that there are 7 universes like balls moving in 7 orbits and lying in a flat space. On the other hand, there are additional noble verses in the Holy Quran that teach us that the orbit of our universe is not circular but instead elliptical. This is because these nobles' verses tell us that there are two extreme travel distances between the earth and the 7th heaven: In one case it is mentioned in surat Maarij chapter 70 verse 4 in the Holy Quran that the time needed for the Angles and holy spirits to ascend from the earth to the 7th heaven takes a Day in the time frame based on the 7th heaven which corresponds to 50000 years in the time frame based on the earth. In the other case it is mentioned in surat al Sajeda chapter 32 verse 5 in the Holy Quran that the time needed for the commanded affair to ascend from the earth to the 7th heaven takes a Day in Allah's clock which corresponds to 1000 years in the Human's clock based on the earth. The Quran's description of the flatness of the cosmos is perfectly consistent with the standard cosmological model, representing a new scientific miracle of the Holy Quran. As you see there is no contradiction between the noble's verses in the Holy Quran and these noble's verses majestically complete each other. This proves that the Holy Quran is the words of God and the noble prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the last messenger of God. But only Allah knows best.
I found a new scientific miracle in the Holy Quran which shows that the Holy Quran is the words of God. I will talk about the perfect correlation between God's clock based on the 7th heaven and the Human's clock based on the earth. It is mentioned in the Holy Quran that the ages of the universe and the earth are 6 and 2 days respectively in the time frame based on the 7th heaven. One can calculate the ratio of the universe to that of the earth as follows: R = age of the universe/age of the earth = 6 days / 2 days = 3 On the other hand we know that the dynamic age of the universe is 13.77 billion years and the radiometric age of the earth is 4.55 billion years in the time frame based on the earth. One can calculate the ratio of the age of the universe to that of the earth as follows: R = age of the universe/ age of the earth = 13.77 billion years / 4.55 billion years = 3.04 The coincidence between the values of the ratios of the age of the universe to that of the earth in both reference frames means that the God's clock based on the 7th heaven and the Human's clock based on the earth is in perfect correlation. This is because time is not absolute but rather relative as predicted by Einstein's special relativity. It also means that the earth was created for the first time when the age of the universe was 2/3 of its age today in both reference frames based on the 7th heaven and the earth. We learn from this fact that the Holy Quran is the words of Allah and Mohammed (PBUH) is His last messenger. But only Allah knows best.
A beautiful man and very respectful to all cultures.
But islamists want him dead, such "religion of peace" - they can not stand any criticism, just like their pedophile so called prophet - he murdered people on offense, not spearing even mothers feeding their babies. Islam is atrocity that should be destroyed by mankind if we are to live in peace.
George you dog.
This man spoke truth
You are definitely not aware of him.
He's an ugly man and disgraceful to nature
What a smart and witty man took me decades to finally learn who he is I would trade him for my brother tomorrow
I think the Muslims are jealous because this man is so so..smart in my book period
None but the two last questions were substantial.
Agree..specially the last one.

Ho has the right Salman or God?
I agree with Salman and would even go so far as to state that religion prevents people from truly being moral, as they allow their leaders to decide acceptable behaviour.
I love how the muslims in the crowd find every way to take offense
Because he talks against Islam he sits in India Today conference where Arundhathi Roy, for example, would never sit
@@Stephensofceea Hindus never made her run for her life. Her case is different. She challenge Indian borders and support separatism. No one critised Hinduism like Dr Ambedkar but yet people respect him. Rushdie on the other hand made to run for his life by "peaceful" minority and " secular" government of that time.
Because he is an uneducated fool and comes of as an expert in Islamic theology, which he is not. Probably got abused when he was growing up and now comes to hate Islam. That is the case in most of these 'critics' of Islam.
Here you can see how Indians try to pull down the succesfull fellow indians.
Looking at Elite Educated , liberal, fools all over in the hall asking him such a questions...Rushdie you Rock the show🤣🤭
They are not liberal. Classical liberalism stands for free speech. They are ultra conservative/orthodox in terms of not wanting to offend religion, country, monarchy etc
Rushdie is an elite educated, liberal, brilliant man... What's your point?
weird, man! what is the point you are trying to make?
Just bought the book, I’d never heard of it but because of the attack on him I’m going to check it out.
Just brilliant. Especially the last two questions.
This Indian bravely says the truth is right, the wrong is wrong, I like it
He seems to be an immensely intelligent , greatly balanced and deeply read person..question asked were of kindergarten level.. ignorant and rude audience
How can any person not like Mr Rushdie too me is is the one over any person I like which there aren't many he has a real brain
How appropriate and relevant this interview to the incidents of today's world. I like this very much. Well done Rushdie!
Rushdie is so true with his saying. A man with Integrity. I dont agree with all his sayings but it doesn’t mean one should get offended by it.
He is so good at explaining things.
Brilliant! Rushdie makes the so-called Indian intellectuals like Soli Sorabjee, Ajit Ranade, Madhur Bajaj, Rahul Kanwal ...look pygmies
' LIKE ' Pygmies ??? U mean ??? Lol
He is real Clasical- Liberal, unlike today's pseudo-Liberal of India.
People should read his books before criticising. If you dont like his books, dont read it.
I wish Mr. Rushdie a quick recovery while condemning the cowardly attack.
what awesome times where one can openly agree to disagree.. power to you sir
Get well soon, Mr. Rushdie
Forgot about the content and see how brilliant are his logics❤
women are not arm candy- to the person who asked the question. I love Salman Rushdie ❤
God i was looking for someone to point it out
He looks unintelligent 😵💫
Mr. Rushdie gave great answers to all the stupid questions....
Truth is bitter keep up Salman
The way he tell about freedom is really great........
people don't even know how big intellect salman rushdie is
the real intellect not like now days so called intellect
Agree with him totally support his point on freedom of expression 😊
His intellect is a force field against pseudoBS
Sulman Rushdie is a great reader a great writer and philosopher ❤🎉🎉
Sir Rushdie has set the best example to dare the devil who are bullying n policing n judging the innocents,
Sir Salman Rushdie you are one of the most intelligent man ever you’ are so true.
This man talks sense.
Hardwired from the core with moral ethics. I hope and pray that God will draw you near.
( Hindu, Buddha, jain, Sikh.. Based on principal of self purification and complete perfect purification...pure souls eligible to reach God ..)..
So nice talk - I concur with his views on life- Religion itself is a way of life, So embrass life and you have a religion not the other way which holds you, directs you and you become a slave of it
He is one of the greatest people India has given to the world. Proud of you Salman Rushdie.
I suspect most of the people sitting here, have not read Rushdie's book.
Even you don't have
Listening To Rushdie is far more interesting than reading his books.
I am sure you havent read one
How could you disagree with this man, he is a rock of sense.
Yes, come to earth, enjoy the movies, read the books, and go.
Great, this is simply preposterous !!!

Islamic culture contributed so much, no it was people in the countries they conquered that contributed so much. A lot came from countries long before Islam came along. The Persian and Egyptian Empires to name just 2. The Burqa and Niqab are pre Islamic and were worn in The Middle East. Why do non middle eastern women wear it. It is the spread of the cancer of Wahabism funded by Saudi Arabia.

Hate speech should be banned.
heard the full discourse, its brilliant👍😁
Rushdie is one of the best writer in current time span.
This guy is so intelligent and knows how to question religon. Muslim people need to do the same. If you want to educate yourself truly then question it. When you keep your mind impartial then there is a lot of evidence that contradicts what you read.
Great interview! I liked Rushdie's ideas on freedom of speech. However, right now I do think his ideas on this are too idealistic, black and white and not practical. Furthermore, it is not good to be rude about what many other people consider as "sacred" just because you do not. I do really like Rushdie's ideas on religion. And I 100% feel that everyone has a moral compass and that is before religion. Humanism is before religion. It is sad that people forget to be human, in the name of religion.
very powerful argument on first amendment. one of the greatest Indian ever.
Salman we need more like him 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
get well soon dear Rushdie
Yeah Salman! U r truly irresistible
What a great man. Hats off for tis man

It also means that the earth was created for the first time when the age of the universe was 2/3 of its age today in both reference frames based on the 7th heaven and the earth. We learn from this fact that the Holy Quran is the words of Allah and Mohammed (PBUH) is His last messenger. But only Allah knows best.
I should mention in the beginning two noble verses in the Holy Quran which teaches us that there are 7 heavens and 7 orbits one above another lying in a flat space. Let us start with chapter 78 verse 12 in the Holy Quran which tells us what means: "And Constructed above you seven strong (heavens)". This noble verse among many others teaches us that there are 7 heavens. Then let us see the surat al Muminun verse 17 in the Holy Quran which tells us what means: "And indeed, We (Allah) Created above you 7 levels (roads). We (Allah) Are never unmindful of (Our creation)". This noble verse teaches us that there are 7 roads of the heavens. When taken together, the above-mentioned noble verses teach us that there are 7 universes like balls moving in 7 orbits and lying in a flat space. On the other hand, there are additional noble verses in the Holy Quran that teach us that the orbit of our universe is not circular but instead elliptical. This is because these nobles' verses tell us that there are two extreme travel distances between the earth and the 7th heaven: In one case it is mentioned in surat Maarij chapter 70 verse 4 in the Holy Quran that the time needed for the Angles and holy spirits to ascend from the earth to the 7th heaven takes a Day in the time frame based on the 7th heaven which corresponds to 50000 years in the time frame based on the earth. In the other case it is mentioned in surat al Sajeda chapter 32 verse 5 in the Holy Quran that the time needed for the commanded affair to ascend from the earth to the 7th heaven takes a Day in Allah's clock which corresponds to 1000 years in the Human's clock based on the earth. The Quran's description of the flatness of the cosmos is perfectly consistent with the standard cosmological model, representing a new scientific miracle of the Holy Quran. As you see there is no contradiction between the noble's verses in the Holy Quran and these noble's verses majestically complete each other. This proves that the Holy Quran is the words of God and the noble prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the last messenger of God. But only Allah knows best.
Ho has the right Salman or God?
