Guru Nanak was Here With Us: The Role of Religion in the Indian Farmers Protest (Part 3)
Part 3: The Role of Leftist and Radical Politics in the Farmer’s Movement
In this video, Dr. Christine Moliner continues to talk about the processes through which the movement lent a religious fervor to itself. Protest sites were also sites of deeply spiritual, even mystical experiences. However, what is also important to understand that a rich history of the left & radical politics that has been a constant feature of 20th Century Punjab played an important role in the farmers’ movement.

Please add the contribution of great Parsi Doctors , Teachers and Professors also Thank you.
Yet today, the whole of the middle east is in the grip of the evil that is islam.
An excellent and thoroughly exhaustive and comprehensive orientation to Zoroastrianism. The lecture, which had a seamless flow and time sequentiality to it was delivered effortlessly and confidently by Dr. Sherman Cana. My warmest congratulations to her for rendering this noble deed of enlightening the world at large about Zoroastrianism.
Zoroastrianism by Dr. Shernaz Cama, Part 6: The Diaspora & New Beginnings (Iranian Zoroastrians and the ancient or had-been Zoroastrians of Central Asia) It is a well known fact that the Zoroastrian religion practised in Iran has been heavily curtailed and super-diluted. That does not mean that the ordinary Zoroastrians there have a lack of faith, but they are forced to step back due to the laws of the Islamic Republic. Hence, expecting a revival of the faith from Iranian Zoroastrians too is an idea fraught with doubts. As far as the newly awoken groups of Central Asia (like Tadjiks, Kurds, Yezidis, etc) who have suddenly labeled themselves as 'Zoroastrians' just doesn't cut the mustard either. These groups who may have a *past or a historic* Zoroastrian culture, can safely be regarded as having abandoned the Zoroastrian religion over the centuries because of interfaith marriages and conversions to other religion and infusion of ideas of other religions in their own. Wonder why Dr Cama is not aware of these facts about the Parsi Diaspora, Iranian Zoroastrians and the Zoroastrian wannabes of Central Asia. They are not the groups from which the Zoroastrian religion will rise and rejuvenate agan. It is preordained that the worldwide revival of Zoroastrianism will begin through the Saviour born in India.
Zoroastrianism by Dr. Shernaz Cama, Part 6: The Diaspora & New Beginnings (Parsi Diaspora) Though Parsis may have settled outside India, these immigrants still regard India as their 'dharam ni tekri'. And rightly so since the version of Zoroastrianism practised outside India, especially in the western countries, is a very diluted and often modified one, especially on the definition of who is a Zoroastrian and what constitutes rituals. Additionally, there are no properly consecrated Agiyaries outside the Indian subcontinent. Plus in the vast majority of cases, there is an abandonment of the faith (mainly due to lack of fervor and marrying outside the faith) from the 3rd-4th generation onwards. Intermarriage is estimated to be as high as 75%. To the stalwarts in India, it is very very doubtful that the Parsis who have migrated overseas can survive without links to the Parsi religious atmosphere and ecosystem in India. Hence to regard these immigrants (especially to western countries) as future torch-bearers or saviours of the faith is absurd. The Parsis of India, though they also face intermarriages amongst the community, are more or less traditional in their leanings and have a robust faith in the revival of their religion by the Saviour, the Rainidar Saheb. Many devotedly pray the Chithrem Buyat prayer to hasten His arrival.
Overall, a good collection of information on Zoroastrianism and Parsis. However, there have been some errors and extraneous material included amongst the 6 parts. Will highlight these as we proceed. Thank you Dr. Shernaz Cama for your efforts.
Zoroastrianism by Dr. Shernaz Cama, Part 2: It is mentioned that the Zoroastrian New Year starts on 21st March. This may be true for the Iran based Zarathushtis and some Central Asian sects claiming to be Zoroastrians, but let people be reminded that *the Iranians/Persians who have best preserved the religion are the Parsis of India.* This also includes the Iranis who have recently migrated to India from Iran. The predominant calendar followed by Parsis is the *Shahenshahi* calendar and most of the consecrated Atashbehrams and Agiyaries of India too follow this calendar. It comprises of exactly 365 days and there is no extra day added, or more importantly *not felt necessary* by the clergy and behdins in India. Many Parsis are aware that they possess the Shahenshahi _aalat_ (the implements to practise rituals) and are not really bothered with the New Year not following the 21st March Spring Equinox because *this calendar serves the religious needs of the community quite adequately.* There is another similar _aalat_ based calendars followed by the Iranis of India, and it is the *Kadmi* calendar. There are 2 Atashbehrams and a few Agiyaries which follow the Kadmi calendar. It too consists of exactly 365 days and is one month ahead of the Shahenshahi calendar. Notwithstanding some friction decades ago, the 2 calendar adherents live in harmony and peace with each other. The seasonal or Fasli calendar have a very few adherents in India.
Zoroastrianism by Dr. Shernaz Cama, Part 1: The dateline of Prophet Zarathushtra around 1600 BC is common amongst western scholars of the religion, like Mary Boyce, etc. However quite s large number of Parsis put the Prophet's birth about 8000 years ago, meaning in *around 6000 BC.* The proof has been provided from the mystical books of the religion and by deductions by astrologers.

Payed planted Pakistani spy.
Useless.. Then how these women have been voting in previous general elections if they have no documentation? So all these years they have been living in India without a ration card? and not voting? CAA does not exclude anyone from India, it just includes the minorities ( Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Hindus) from neighboring countries. This is a bad and ill-conceived commentary based on half baked knowledge and pseudo-liberal propaganda material . NRC was mooted but not implemented. Everyone who has a ration card in India must have a birth certificate and guess what if these people have ration cards and not birth certificate then surely these are fake ones. So all these people are illegal aliens. Now I am not saying they should not be given amnesty but India cannot have open borders where illegal aliens can keep entering forever unabated. It poses security risk. Please do your research before commenting on important national issues.
the slides are blur?

India has some of the most deep and serious systemic flaws in its governmental structure. The constitution doesn't even guarantee natural rights and other inalienable rights. There is no limits to the power of the national gov which they call a central government despite claiming to be a federal republic. All the rights given to an Indian citizen through their crazily lengthy constitution, are provisional. Which means the gov can take away rights of individuals as they have been left at the mercy of parliament. All the natural rights that people in first world take for granted, are alienable in India
One of the greatest writer and thinker of our times. You are shaping this planet to a livable place. We love you Nitasha.
Pride of Kashmir.
Great scholar...
Gottovik "brings " me here
It's all about economy, I suppose. A nation which can stand on its own feet and has excess of wealth will have the power to impose their regulations (including their culture, e.g. its language) overseas, especially on the influenced and dependent ones. For an instance, Mandarin has been actively imposed in my country (especially in translation jobs) currently.

Great job! Nitasha Kaul, keep it up.
the recording is not at all clear.
omg the person constantly clearing his throat, sniffing and moving in his squeaky chair totally took away from this excellent presentation! I could barely hear her - why was the microphone closer to the distracting guy than to her presenting?! Geez... completely annoying, just felt like punching that guy out!
Excellent lecture,most people should be benefitted from this seminars,it should be arranged in the universities of the south asian countries.

Nitasha Kaul sometimes speaks as a voice of Kashmir Pandits and sometimes as an expert in understanding Indian mindset. She only wants popularity.
" the unresolved border dispute between India and China" -- had Tibet been independent, they would have coordial relations with India, like another Buddhist state Bhutan has.
Why don't they ask everyone to turn off their phones before the speaker starts?
