I am a Christian by Birth, But I learned most of my life values reading Ramayan and Geetha based stories. First and most people should understand Hinduism is not a religion, It was beyond that and that is the greatness of it. It never came with a perfect god it just represented basic formes of resources and energy as in the form of strong entities like Bhramha, Shiva and others.. It analysed the Universe to its entirety. I am proud to live amoung these people and if you have a look their tolerance level is what others took advantage of.. It is ok I hope Bharat learned from it. I want the old Hinduism to come back not as a religion but as a lifestyle don't let anyone to compare it with religions like Islam or Christianity. Hinduism is beyond their thought process, it is the ultimate truth.

From the Jewish perspective, the speed with which Hindus have captured first managerial, then financial, and now political class in the UK and USA, is truly laudable. Congrats! Alas, it's a rotting fruit. Interesting is how little India as a country has benefited from that. Monstrous poverty, inequality (11M live in slave conditions), and total corruption on the top will prevent India from outpacing China in the next decades. Nationalism as lip service will not help. America will play India vs. China beautifully, as Anglo-Saxons always did. Will Hindus on the top help to prevent that? The ball is in your court.

This is the first American intellectual that I have seen so far, who actually gets it. India doesn't stand for Indianization of the world unlike other powers in the past or present, India itself is a diverse, pluralistic society and so it just wants the world to be one too.

Excellent analysis of Bharath that is India to most westerners, Mr. Mead has perfectly summarized the real need of the west here in his address & I only hope this understanding only grows by leaps for the good of the civilized nations of the world & not take his sane observation of Indians as Indians have several millennia of profound intellectual, scientific, spiritual, holistic & cultural knowledge in our ancient Vedas, Ithihas, Smrithis, astronomy, Ayurveda, advanced Maths & space tech. Only, this treasure & understanding was distroyed/kept under a false veil from us for last several centuries by the invaders from the ME/west & now for some decades, some of the intellectuals like Mr Mead are humble & honest enough to admit openly in support of Indias rich knowledge treasures.
He understood correctly what India's rise mean to the world , that it will bring peace and his advice to young americans to learn Indian languages is superb.
I am flabbergasted - truly there is hope for the world. If western education/culture/mindset expands this way, all the gods will descend to bless ! This is India's DNA.
Wonderful to hear Walter Russel Meads brilliant analysis and appraisal why western world specifically USA needs to collaborate and work more with world ‘s largest Democracy India ! For establishing collective welfare of world !

Otherwise how is it that we could nurture democracy when most of third world countries failed .

After 2014, the concept of india gradually is being rejected by the concept of bharat. It means, bharat is now significantly & scientifically conservative against colonialism, communism, socialism, extremism, terrorism, left liberalism, dollarisation, radicalization, etc, etc of any kind, under a multipolar world where truth should have the only space. It is sanatani. In order to maintain and secure the truth/sanatani, bharat has adopted the hindutwa, the way of life after 2014. Hence,the world communities need its best to think the difference between the path they are following as radicalised consevatives and the hindutwa as scientific conservatives. Because, truth, hindutwa, inly has the capacity of inclusiveness, as such democracy.

The fear is baseless. India has a reputation of being a knowledge economy and not an aggressor. If India had an iota of aggression, it would have set up a parallel organisation and campaigned support successfully from 100+ nations to create UN equivalent that is more rational than the world order dictated by a few security council members. India has rather taken an approach to endlessly pursue convincing existing members without much success. Modern India is culturally drawn into creating a more cohesive world even though it has seen its share of bloodshed for centuries from invaders. My take is that it is a positive development that the world’s largest democracy and one of the youngest nations is growing. India is setting benchmarks in climate change, education and culture. I am sure it is going to be incomparably better than the last 30 years of growth seen in communist regimes.

I agree. Mr. Guha's latest interview with his like-minded buddy Karan Thapar on current events in Bangladesh was nauseating. It is not Mr. Modi's fault that lsIamists have taken over the country. Mr. Mead should diversify and get his "India/Hindu" perspectives from a wide spectrum that is available on You Tube. A good start would be PGurus, Palki Sharma, Arnab Goswami... and many others. There must be a reason why Indian/Hindus have overtaken the white populations of the UK, US and Canada. In America, Indian women make the same as white men, despite entering the work force much later in life. I know several such examples. I am using statistics from Google Search and Wikepedia. Jews led the way. Did Indian mothers demand as much from their children as the Jewish mothers?😊 "Failure" was not an option. perhaps?
I do not understand, why western intellects are surprised by Rise of India. 1700 years in last 2000 years of human history, India is no 1 or no 2 economic power in the world. Last couple of centuries were wasted by non resistance to British colonial exploitation. That is due to the fact that India has not invaded another country and military wa weak. But Indian soft power through Buddhism and Hinduism philosophy and science and technology and music and food is everywhere in the world. 3000 years ago there was Nalanda university with 15000 students. Chinese visitors have documented how much ahead of time that university was. Name is Hiuen Tsan. Best cotton cloth was imported from India by Roman empire thousands of years ago. Indian spices were the first food preservation technology. Sugar was Indian first and Indian labor propagated it to Mauritius, Caribbean and other places. Indian architecture is visible in templates in Thailand, Cambodia, Bali and many places. India shall rise and lead for sure. Intellectually, through human capital, philosophically, scientifically, through Music and classical dancing and every important dimension of human greatness!
Indirectly he is saying india is threat, Look, US behaviour towards india will decide 🇮🇳🇺🇸 relationship, if 🇺🇸 says hostile then no hope for any future partnership,
He's not saying that - he's saying understanding the challenge India poses to the traditional western view will make the world a better place if understood.

From the Jewish perspective, the speed with which Hindus have captured first managerial, then financial, and now political class in the UK and USA, is truly laudable. Congrats! Alas, it's a rotting fruit. Interesting is how little India as a country has benefited from that. Monstrous poverty, inequality (11M live in slave conditions), and total corruption on the top will prevent India from outpacing China in the next decades. Nationalism as lip service will not help. America will play India vs. China beautifully, as Anglo-Saxons always did. Will Hindus on the top help to prevent that? The ball is in your court.

This is the first American intellectual that I have seen so far, who actually gets it. India doesn't stand for Indianization of the world unlike other powers in the past or present, India itself is a diverse, pluralistic society and so it just wants the world to be one too. The development and progress will be based on cultural, economic, scientific and military exchanges/trades, while each society/country will thrive based on their individual identity instead of making the entire world just one bland type of society(that would be incredibly boring).

Excellent analysis of Bharath that is India to most westerners, Mr. Mead has perfectly summarized the real need of the west here in his address & I only hope this understanding only grows by leaps for the good of the civilized nations of the world & not take his sane observation of Indians as Indians have several millennia of profound intellectual, scientific, spiritual, holistic & cultural knowledge in our ancient Vedas, Ithihas, Smrithis, astronomy, Ayurveda, advanced Maths & space tech. Only, this treasure & understanding was distroyed/kept under a false veil from us for last several centuries by the invaders from the ME/west & now for some decades, some of the intellectuals like Mr Mead are humble & honest enough to admit openly in support of Indias rich knowledge treasures.
Great foresight and advice to young Americans.
Keep it for yourself, never tell others how to run their lives.
Actually that’s the problem with Uncle Sam too nosy.
Appreciated this man for his true recognition of the special civilization
He understood correctly what India's rise mean to the world , that it will bring peace and his advice to young americans to learn Indian languages is superb.

Indian philosophy , Vedas , Upanishhads , Sankhya philosophy , Vaisheshik philosophy , Yoga Darsan , Poorva mimausa and Uttar mimousa are the specialities of Indian Hindu Dharma . Along with philolophy and self realisation , materialistic life is also given equal importance .
Quantum Physics and Indian Hindu philosophy are very close to each other .
Nasadeeya sookta of Vedas explains origin of the Universe and the description is almost 100 % similar to that of Big Bang Theory except the language. One is Sanskrit and another is English ! More over the unknown author or Sage of the Nasadeeya sookta questions that whether the God knows the purpose or above God there is some one !!
also castes system
Caste is itself a Portuguese word used first in 1890 by British rascals@@Lee-Van-Cle
@@Lee-Van-Cle It's a term coined by Portugese Inquisidars, exacerbated by the German Lutherans initially and then used fully for segregation by the Protestant Colonial English.
Want to talk further or being a troll is good enough for you?
@varun2250
Yes correct . Caste system was absent in the Hindu Dharma . It is a Portugese term and used by colonial rulers to divide Hindus .
Actually if you see neatly then you will find most groups are on the basis of livelihood . For example , carpenter for wood related business, black Smith for iron related businesses etc.
One should leave deep rooted hatred and openly see the truth .
@@varun2250 Who coined the term isn't important, because it is just for communication. The act of caste discrimination is of utmost importance.
Want to further talk about the points of Kosambi, Ambedkar, Weber...

India unlike China is guided by spiritualism in its quest for better life and economic growth . Ours may not be the best model of economy and democracy but our model is the right one . Otherwise how is it that we could nurture democracy when most of third world countries failed . Our philosophy of life is many thousand years old and this philosophy has place for all religions to peacefully Co exist and we have more religion and races than in any other country
lol, as if China has no spiritualism or moral values of its own.

After 2014, the concept of india gradually is being rejected by the concept of bharat. It means, bharat is now significantly & scientifically conservative against colonialism, communism, socialism, extremism, terrorism, left liberalism, dollarisation, radicalization, etc, etc of any kind, under a multipolar world where truth should have the only space. It is sanatani. In order to maintain and secure the truth/sanatani, bharat has adopted the hindutwa, the way of life after 2014. Hence,the world communities need its best to think the difference between the path they are following as radicalised consevatives and the hindutwa as scientific conservatives. Because, truth, hindutwa, inly has the capacity of inclusiveness, as such democracy.
In the emerging Bangladesh turning into more fundamentalistic society and tilting towards China which is encircling in South Asia with string of pearls, India has no alternative to continue its friendly relations with USA which happened to be major exporter ranked 1. India should adopt to changing circumstances while maintaining its non aligned policy and keeping its leadership of Global South

#WakeUpAmerica! Understand that democracy & peace is in Indian DNA, its not a temporary stand!
Excellent speech with truth
The fear is baseless. India has a reputation of being a knowledge economy and not an aggressor. If India had an iota of aggression, it would have set up a parallel organisation and campaigned support successfully from 100+ nations to create UN equivalent that is more rational than the world order dictated by a few security council members. India has rather taken an approach to endlessly pursue convincing existing members without much success. Modern India is culturally drawn into creating a more cohesive world even though it has seen its share of bloodshed for centuries from invaders. My take is that it is a positive development that the world’s largest democracy and one of the youngest nations is growing. India is setting benchmarks in climate change, education and culture. I am sure it is going to be incomparably better than the last 30 years of growth seen in communist regimes.

Thanks sir ,
Very nicely orated an absolutely different viewpoint regarding India ,
May be because of its past policies , every action of the United States were taken very sceptically in our country , may be we have some valid reasons for that !
Every body who was familiar with world history, knew when Japan has bombed pearl harbour in second world war , that they have awakened a "Sleeping Giant" !
Slowly, you can say , most of the Asian countries are now getting out of their colonial past &
It's the need of the hour we listen to the voices of each other , burying the past experiences & find an acceptable solution through dialog, listening with an intention of understanding and mutual respect!
Om Shantih

I agree.
Mr. Guha's latest interview with his like-minded buddy Karan Thapar on current events in Bangladesh was nauseating. It is not Mr. Modi's fault that lsIamists have taken over the country.
Mr. Mead should diversify and get his "India/Hindu" perspectives from a wide spectrum that is available on You Tube. A good start would be PGurus, Palki Sharma, Arnab Goswami... and many others.
There must be a reason why Indian/Hindus have overtaken the white populations of the UK, US and Canada.
In America, Indian women make the same as white men, despite entering the work force much later in life.
I know several such examples. I am using statistics from Google Search and Wikepedia.
Jews led the way. Did Indian mothers demand as much from their children as the Jewish mothers?😊
"Failure" was not an option. perhaps?

I do not understand, why western intellects are surprised by Rise of India. 1700 years in last 2000 years of human history, India is no 1 or no 2 economic power in the world. Last couple of centuries were wasted by non resistance to British colonial exploitation. That is due to the fact that India has not invaded another country and military wa weak. But Indian soft power through Buddhism and Hinduism philosophy and science and technology and music and food is everywhere in the world. 3000 years ago there was Nalanda university with 15000 students. Chinese visitors have documented how much ahead of time that university was. Name is Hiuen Tsan. Best cotton cloth was imported from India by Roman empire thousands of years ago. Indian spices were the first food preservation technology. Sugar was Indian first and Indian labor propagated it to Mauritius, Caribbean and other places. Indian architecture is visible in templates in Thailand, Cambodia, Bali and many places. India shall rise and lead for sure. Intellectually, through human capital, philosophically, scientifically, through Music and classical dancing and every important dimension of human greatness!
Indian conservatism is threaded across Asia. India is like Elephant and Lion as per Situation
