Honorable Dr. Ambedkar was the most educated and logical leader. Indians are very lucky to have him as a eye opener Rational Leader and explained what is written in manusmriti, otherwise no one read and knew it. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The debate/conversation has been thought provoking.... when they took deep dive into the ocean to find out what is hidden inside Hinduism.... the truth narrows down to discrimination of minorities & Dalits( Bahujan Samaj) which Dr. BR Ambedkar fought to eradicate it being in Hindu Society... and who even succeeded in giving Independent India a Sacred book called the INDIAN CONSTITUTION which gave the people of India as to how to run the Nation. He was a great visionary and could forecast the future of India that what he wrote & preached is being seen today and no doubt could be seen in near future as well.

Modi-BJPigs-RSS-Hindutwa Fascist ideology has UNDONE ALL the “Reforms” you mentioned, and taken the country to a rapid downhill to DISASTER…mixing HATE with Religion with Politics with Divisions taking the country to regression, agression, lawlessness and unrest! Autocracy and theocracy at best! How BLIND is the majority!
@arwind sawant You are right on this point. But there are many deep rooted casteism, class differentiation still exists in Hindu society and all parties including congress used appeasement policies, to continue in power differently in different states. See... No person of lower caste is ready to lose caste identity or reservation given in the name of caste for jobs or selection procedures in various institutions in india because of the benefits they receive from state. Still many people believe that caste is the only reason people are not respected or supported. There are number of reasons for identifying people in any society. Color, jobs, positions, financial status, power, and so many multi factors. Congress supported all nonsense when they were in power. But now they are in a point of no return, panicked,confused, trying to fix the image through various media finding new definitons from history and trying to come back to power or in main stream politics. This is not going to be listened by majority since majority speaks all local language other than English.
6:47; ‘If you can’t defeat them then appropriate them’ is the ploy of the hindutvawadis; it started with Buddha by instituting him as the incarnation of one of the caste-loving god called Vishnu, followed by Vivekanand who always made scathing remarks against the very concept of caste and abhorred casteism from all platforms, recently they have appropriated Patel who as home minister had banned the RSS calling it the breeding ground of terrorist, and now it’s Ambedkar…….
"It is for the majority to realize it is their duty not to discriminate against minorities." B. R. Ambedkar. I am a part of the majority community, and I know many from my community will start 'what about minority duties' here...such an attitude is just cowardness
Yes,true! And because India’s majority accepted their responsibility discrimination is prohibited by law. Ambedkar deserves credit for bringing the issue to the fore and the majority agrees with him. As it is everywhere in the world, change takes time but change is happening.
@@subhashbhagwat7411 change? it will never happen, as long as hinduism, the core reason, remains in India as a religion. It is emboldened and entitled in present day india more than ever.

Karan what a great interview, with a great mind Sashi. I totally agree with the views expressed. Actually I feel our supreme leader is as much a "bhakt" as he was a "chaiwala". And Hindi, though a beautiful language, is not a national language. In fact in a country so diverse we can't have a national language.

Great discussion,very well interpret ed.

Dr.Ambedkar stands unique and tall among our founding fathers. The other stalwarts like Gandhi, Nehru, Patel et al came from similar (not the same) ideological and political camps, but Dr.Ambedkar, as mentioned, was an original thinker, undoubtedly, influenced by his social identity. His views, hence, are in stark contrast to the majority be it political, social or historical, the centre piece being his vehement opposition to caste and it's deep roots in our socio-economic life and the plight of the Dalits and those in lower rungs of social ladder. It is hence appalling that the PM, for obvious political reasons, publicly holding Babasaheb as an influence. Mr. Modi and his party's views are infamously clear - one that's solidly rooted on majoritarianism - one that is plucked from the fascist playbooks and played successfully by autocrats across the world, current example being Mr.Erdogan in Turkey. Without an iota of doubt one can say that the BJP doesn't sympathize with any of his views out of sincerity but only for political mileage - mobilizing the Dalits as a vote bank who holds Babasaheb in esteem. And this mockery of Indias prodigal son, after that of Sardar Patel, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Swami Vivekanand among others is unsurprising as a mere means to an end - to aid the electoral machine in sustaining and solidifying power. All one can truly say is NaMo🙏

I'll appreciate if this interview is translated into Hindi language. A large number of UA-cam viewers who don't understand English will be deprived of such a great and fruitful interview if the interview is not presented in Hindi and other major Indian languages.
That “slap” comes out of ignorance! Let us not go overboard praising the “ wisdom” of Tharoor! He has his blinds and limitations, his british accent notwithstanding!
They will never discuss Ambedkar's view on Islam, uniform civil code, article 370 and that he wanted a complete population exchange between India and Pakistan.
Even if they discuss it for hundreds of hours, I tell you no one shall ever reach to a hundred percent consensus.....ever!!!! These are endless debates, yet all political figures "use" them for their own political milage.
Great Karan Thapar, lots of respect watching you after a long time. Proud of sasi tharoor sir too. Wish to see him as the chief minister of state ,and also prime minister of this nation. Yes very correctly said.

Geetha Nair, I totally agree with you that Shashi Tharoor deserves to be Prime Minister of India. But sadly as long as he is in Congress party, it will not become a reality because all the Bhakts in Congress wants to see Rahul baba as PM, which of course is the biggest joke.
Every party has good and bad. Rahul is a good human being, but not seem to be matured. But won't be doing or exploiting politics for his survival. That's his greatness.
Kudos to you Karan, you deserve the best in journalism. People like you and Ravish from NDTV are playing vital role to ensure Journalism is alive and trying to save democracy
It's surprising how dr. Ambedkars statements said in 1930s,40s are still valid to this date and are turning out to be true.. Visionary, intelluctual,rational, progressive mind.
A very interesting discussion between two great intellectuals who understand the country and its problems. India was fortunate to have a person of Ambedkar's intellect and calibre to be at hand when the country was required to draft a constitution. Besides being a legal luminary and intellectual par excellence, he knew the Indian society and its strength and weaknesses in and out by his personal experience. Our leaders must study Ambedkar with an open mind and should formulate policies where every one would feel comfortable. Ours is still an evolving society and giving undue accent to caste, community, language etc. can only retard our social progress. Ultimately our real aim should be to create a modern society where caste and would obviously take the back stage.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar is the leader of the world of all communities and for social reformer .Very good discussion .His books should be read by every Indian.
@arwind sawant then why has section of tribals and Sikhs become naxalite and terrorists??? Logic is very simple, if you alienate a particular section of society then you will have pay a price for it. Unfortunately Hindutva bigots like you will never understand Ambedkar or Bhagat Singh.
It is great interview and thought provoking discussion. What is happening now was predicted by Dr.B R Ambedkar 70 years before. There is no match to thinking in the world. One think I observed to differ from this interview is that though Ambedkar did not like Hinduism, but he neither supported any other religion like Islam or Christianity where plain faith is taught without any rational thinking, that is also one of the reasons why he ultimately converted to Buddhuism where there is no plain faith and he called Buddhuism as a way of life, not as religion.
Hinduism is said to divide people and in contrast, Islam is said to bind people together. This is only a half-truth. For Islam divides as inexorably as it binds.

@arwind sawant I'm aware with the statement of Ambedkar regarding muslims. He was mellifluous orator but that time was nadir phase. Being an archetypal person doesn't mean you can't be wrong.
There is an old saying Hindi "Samay aane par gadhey ko bhi baap banana padta hai" (To bring situations in your favor you have to make/call a Donkey your father). That is what BJP is doing by making Ambedkar as their Icon, just to get more votes from SC/ST category.
@arwind sawant That’s True Our Hindu society always support Reforms bt don’t forget the lineage of Those were against such reforms It’s was So called religious groups which have direct or indirect affiliations with so called bjp party !

Sir, I am a Madiga by caste, Christian by religion, I am a true Congressman, from 1982 sticking posters Congress is my mother , was a student leader, I found Shashi Tharoor is an amazing personality, he should have been the President of Congress Party, I believe he would have brought a change.
You say you are a christian but I am pretty sure your caste certificate says your religion is ‘Hindu’. I have many Madiga classmates who do the same for reservations. Hypocrites.
I agree with you Samuel. But I found it amusing that Shashi Tharoor was all praise for Ambedkar's condemnation of Bhakts in politics but forgetting the fact that he, Shashi Tharoor himself is a member of Congress party which comprise of so many blind Bhakts of Gandhi family so much so that they I clyding Shashi Tharoor is ready to accept Rahul Gandhi as his leader even though we all know that Rahul has hardly any political experience or qualities to be a leader as compared to Shashi Tharoor or many other non Gandhi leaders in Congress. So we have the highest form of political bhakti still being practiced in Congress by all congressmen including Shashi tharoor himself.
Rhetoric and reality are different and one has nothing to do with other.It is not what you say it is what you do.The honorary guest and the real issues and questions raised by host both speak for itself. Salute to both scholars.
He was saying that about the leadership of Muslim League in the 1940 book . He later even mocked that the League which says it represents all Muslims couldn’t get a majority even within their own community.
On the language issue Ambedkar was very right as well, English although a foreign language to the land what is today India and the regions nearby, also the language of the colonizers, has proven to be great advantage to Indians when competing internationally, also nationally it has been the qreat equalizer among states and their own languages... It should be left out to the states to decide which languages they want to develop and work on...and center should have no business deciding all this, Hindi as any other Indian language is an equal, it cannot get more or less importance than other languages...
Common language is more powerful than nationalism, or may be complementary to each other to sustain. Great countries like China, usa could sustain in time and create trust and wealth by accepting a common language. India trying imposing a regional language on entire country wound invite grief and fission in the soul nationally of Indians.

There should be a compulsory three language scheme in school curricula across India 1) Mother tongue 2) English 3) Hindi(in south) and some south Indian language(in north) As a south Indian I wouldn't mind learning Hindi, I only oppose it's forceful imposition on south Indians which not only infantilizes our local languages but also mocks the federal spirit of the Indian union.
I an not Indian, but recently read the volumes of Ambedkar, truly a great and fearless man. He understood the problems and challenges that India faced.

@arwind sawant let me first clear "sar tan se jada" in any case can be correct but you never spoke out against the act of DARK AGE that is LYNCHING of human beings in series and making videos for terrorise a good number of population of this country.
And again welcoming those Lynchers by garlanding them & taking processions in favour of those CRUEL KILLERS. Similarly u people FREE the convicted RAPISTS and MURDERERS from jail and welcome like VIPs. Shame Shame.

Why always Hindus always do competition with islam why not with Buddhists or Christians, i think that also you know why 😂

Great analysis I expect our respected PM participate in this discussion. Congratulations to Mr. Tharoor for writing this book on Mr. Ambedkar.
9:39; Caste is an instrument of discrimination, caste is the soul of hinduism and so how can a caste-conscious hindu - which every hindu is by default- be a good hindu ….
Honorable Dr. Ambedkar was the most educated and logical leader. Indians are very lucky to have him as a eye opener Rational Leader and explained what is written in manusmriti, otherwise no one read and knew it. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ambedkar was illiterate in Sanskrit language he himself said in his book WHO WERE THE SHUDRAS
The debate/conversation has been thought provoking.... when they took deep dive into the ocean to find out what is hidden inside Hinduism.... the truth narrows down to discrimination of minorities & Dalits( Bahujan Samaj) which Dr. BR Ambedkar fought to eradicate it being in Hindu Society... and who even succeeded in giving Independent India a Sacred book called the INDIAN CONSTITUTION which gave the people of India as to how to run the Nation. He was a great visionary and could forecast the future of India that what he wrote & preached is being seen today and no doubt could be seen in near future as well. Karan Taper your interviews are straight with truth & daring... you are a true journalist. Congratulations and all the best in your endeavours.

I admire Gandhi for many of his ideals and thoughts. However I admire and support Ambedkar in all his arguements that he had with Gandhi. That's the intellectual and moral capacity we had in our country in those times. What iconic figures these are compared to so called leaders we have today.
Thanks

Autocracy and theocracy at best! How BLIND is the majority!
@arwind sawant You are an andhbhakt. You dont know what you dont see.
@arwind sawant
You are right on this point. But there are many deep rooted casteism, class differentiation still exists in Hindu society and all parties including congress used appeasement policies, to continue in power differently in different states. See...
No person of lower caste is ready to lose caste identity or reservation given in the name of caste for jobs or selection procedures in various institutions in india because of the benefits they receive from state.
Still many people believe that caste is the only reason people are not respected or supported. There are number of reasons for identifying people in any society.
Color, jobs, positions, financial status, power, and so many multi factors.
Congress supported all nonsense when they were in power. But now they are in a point of no return, panicked,confused, trying to fix the image through various media finding new definitons from history and trying to come back to power or in main stream politics.
This is not going to be listened by majority since majority speaks all local language other than English.
🤣🤣🤣🤣💪no for his love stories in parliament
That's why I love ❤️ Dr Ambedkar...
6:47; ‘If you can’t defeat them then appropriate them’ is the ploy of the hindutvawadis; it started with Buddha by instituting him as the incarnation of one of the caste-loving god called Vishnu, followed by Vivekanand who always made scathing remarks against the very concept of caste and abhorred casteism from all platforms, recently they have appropriated Patel who as home minister had banned the RSS calling it the breeding ground of terrorist, and now it’s Ambedkar…….
good analysis

"It is for the majority to realize it is their duty not to discriminate against minorities." B. R. Ambedkar.
I am a part of the majority community, and I know many from my community will start 'what about minority duties' here...such an attitude is just cowardness
Yes,true! And because India’s majority accepted their responsibility discrimination is prohibited by law. Ambedkar deserves credit for bringing the issue to the fore and the majority agrees with him. As it is everywhere in the world, change takes time but change is happening.
@@subhashbhagwat7411 change? it will never happen, as long as hinduism, the core reason, remains in India as a religion. It is emboldened and entitled in present day india more than ever. I live in Nirth America and I have many hindu colleagues who expresses in private conversations, who justifies and believes caste system is right.

Wow, with no internet. Respected man understood so much about our society and it's issues. His intelligence has given us a sturdy democracy, but our stupidity can destroy it
Karan what a great interview, with a great mind Sashi. I totally agree with the views expressed. Actually I feel our supreme leader is as much a "bhakt" as he was a "chaiwala". And Hindi, though a beautiful language, is not a national language. In fact in a country so diverse we can't have a national language. Nationalism is a thought that joined us all together and got us independence, we were a diverse country then and proudly a diverse nation today and would be that way.
@arwind sawant so you fill in the blanks and enlighten us
We need somthing to bind us otherwise we hindus will diversed and devided other religion will rule us again

North stood up to one of the most brutal invasions and stayed Hindu. I do not think any other indigenous civilization can lay claim to that level of bravery and fierce loyalty to their faith.

Great discussion,very well interpret ed.
Ambedkar is the most wise one who convinced even Gandhiji to eradicate the social discrimination and injustice prevailed in hindvitwa, which he had given priority than fighting for freedom.His ideology is that,getting freedom is of no use,without eradicating this injustice in the majority hindutwa.... BJP still has to understand this among their cadres.

@arwind sawant all that talk of introspect but you yourself won’t be allowed to marry outside caste
@@sushrutsharma4966 who said to you? Your liberal sharma uncle?
Dr.Ambedkar stands unique and tall among our founding fathers. The other stalwarts like Gandhi, Nehru, Patel et al came from similar (not the same) ideological and political camps, but Dr.Ambedkar, as mentioned, was an original thinker, undoubtedly, influenced by his social identity. His views, hence, are in stark contrast to the majority be it political, social or historical, the centre piece being his vehement opposition to caste and it's deep roots in our socio-economic life and the plight of the Dalits and those in lower rungs of social ladder.
It is hence appalling that the PM, for obvious political reasons, publicly holding Babasaheb as an influence. Mr. Modi and his party's views are infamously clear - one that's solidly rooted on majoritarianism - one that is plucked from the fascist playbooks and played successfully by autocrats across the world, current example being Mr.Erdogan in Turkey.
Without an iota of doubt one can say that the BJP doesn't sympathize with any of his views out of sincerity but only for political mileage - mobilizing the Dalits as a vote bank who holds Babasaheb in esteem. And this mockery of Indias prodigal son, after that of Sardar Patel, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Swami Vivekanand among others is unsurprising as a mere means to an end - to aid the electoral machine in sustaining and solidifying power.
All one can truly say is NaMo🙏

Geetha Nair, I totally agree with you that Shashi Tharoor deserves to be Prime Minister of India. But sadly as long as he is in Congress party, it will not become a reality because all the Bhakts in Congress wants to see Rahul baba as PM, which of course is the biggest joke.
Every party has good and bad.
Rahul is a good human being, but not seem to be matured. But won't be doing or exploiting politics for his survival. That's his greatness.

Two good English speaking individual..nice to see this interview
It's surprising how dr. Ambedkars statements said in 1930s,40s are still valid to this date and are turning out to be true.. Visionary, intelluctual,rational, progressive mind.
I like Dr ambedkar sir 👍🇮🇳
Shashi Tharoor sir 👍 thanks You so much
Good fun listening to the interview. Needless to say , we Indians can always outdo ourselves when it comes to hypocrisy.
Capable to be next PM in India Sir. Shashi Tharoor. 👍
A very interesting discussion between two great intellectuals who understand the country and its problems. India was fortunate to have a person of Ambedkar's intellect and calibre to be at hand when the country was required to draft a constitution. Besides being a legal luminary and intellectual par excellence, he knew the Indian society and its strength and weaknesses in and out by his personal experience. Our leaders must study Ambedkar with an open mind and should formulate policies where every one would feel comfortable. Ours is still an evolving society and giving undue accent to caste, community, language etc. can only retard our social progress. Ultimately our real aim should be to create a modern society where caste and would obviously take the back stage.
Tharoor is a progressive writer.....👍🌸🌸🌸
I loved his conversation
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar is the leader of the world of all communities and for social reformer .Very good discussion .His books should be read by every Indian.
I totally agree with Ambedkar on Hindus, Hinduism, Hindutav
@arwind sawant then why has section of tribals and Sikhs become naxalite and terrorists??? Logic is very simple, if you alienate a particular section of society then you will have pay a price for it. Unfortunately Hindutva bigots like you will never understand Ambedkar or Bhagat Singh.
It is great interview and thought provoking discussion. What is happening now was predicted by Dr.B R Ambedkar 70 years before. There is no match to thinking in the world.
One think I observed to differ from this interview is that though Ambedkar did not like Hinduism, but he neither supported any other religion like Islam or Christianity where plain faith is taught without any rational thinking, that is also one of the reasons why he ultimately converted to Buddhuism where there is no plain faith and he called Buddhuism as a way of life, not as religion.
Most awaited interview. This book is gem. ✨

Sir, I am a Madiga by caste, Christian by religion, I am a true Congressman, from 1982 sticking posters Congress is my mother , was a student leader, I found Shashi Tharoor is an amazing personality, he should have been the President of Congress Party, I believe he would have brought a change.
You say you are a christian but I am pretty sure your caste certificate says your religion is ‘Hindu’. I have many Madiga classmates who do the same for reservations. Hypocrites.
I agree with you Samuel. But I found it amusing that Shashi Tharoor was all praise for Ambedkar's condemnation of Bhakts in politics but forgetting the fact that he, Shashi Tharoor himself is a member of Congress party which comprise of so many blind Bhakts of Gandhi family so much so that they I clyding Shashi Tharoor is ready to accept Rahul Gandhi as his leader even though we all know that Rahul has hardly any political experience or qualities to be a leader as compared to Shashi Tharoor or many other non Gandhi leaders in Congress. So we have the highest form of political bhakti still being practiced in Congress by all congressmen including Shashi tharoor himself.

" peacefuls loyalty is towards their religion not towards their country " - B.R Ambedkar
He was saying that about the leadership of Muslim League in the 1940 book . He later even mocked that the League which says it represents all Muslims couldn’t get a majority even within their own community.
Plz quote what he said in "annihilation of caste" too😂
Great conversation. If only the interviewer would stop trying to dominate and interrupt so much.
Love to watch a Mr Shashi Throor interview any day.
Ambekar was far ahead of his time. He was a True nationalist. Buddha's Dhamma is the only scientific discovery of Buddha.
On the language issue Ambedkar was very right as well, English although a foreign language to the land what is today India and the regions nearby, also the language of the colonizers, has proven to be great advantage to Indians when competing internationally, also nationally it has been the qreat equalizer among states and their own languages...
It should be left out to the states to decide which languages they want to develop and work on...and center should have no business deciding all this, Hindi as any other Indian language is an equal, it cannot get more or less importance than other languages...
Common language is more powerful than nationalism, or may be complementary to each other to sustain. Great countries like China, usa could sustain in time and create trust and wealth by accepting a common language. India trying imposing a regional language on entire country wound invite grief and fission in the soul nationally of Indians.
22:30 Ambedkar truly was a visionary, sad that the same rules applies today with regards to North vs South, A conservative, religiously intolerant & superstitious North imposing it's disregard onto the Progressive, tolerant and rational South.
There should be a compulsory three language scheme in school curricula across India
1) Mother tongue
2) English
3) Hindi(in south) and some south Indian language(in north)
As a south Indian I wouldn't mind learning Hindi, I only oppose it's forceful imposition on south Indians which not only infantilizes our local languages but also mocks the federal spirit of the Indian union.
