what Hitler was for jews, Churchil was for Indians
@Michael Grant Absolutely, absolutely this is the ultimate absolute reality. christianity is the cause of every problem in the world.
@@Yogi_The_Bitter_Truth_2408 greed , hunger for power and ego maybe
@@Aasumi_ you conveting to Christianity means insult to sanatan dharma. that means Christianity is better then sanatan dharma. how dare you insult your own ancestors way of life like that? why do you became slaves of foreign missionaries? they want to convert Hindus (sikh, jain , Buddhist included) one by one and that is attack on hinduism. that's like killing hindus one by one. you are dead basically. you have no feeling for sanatan dharma and matrubhumi. for you foreign Christianity is better then your own dharma. that's how they brainwash you since childhood in missionary schools. anything that attacks existence of hindus is adharma. for eg. christianity and their conversions. your ancestors fought hard to save themself and their next generations from conversions but you back-stabbed them.
@@Aasumi_ the missionaries whom you worship want India to be converted into a Christian state just like Islamic gajwa e hind. you people are responsible for destruction of Bharat and Sanatan dharama. now if you feel guilty it is your duty topay for your mistakes, help in restoring sanatan dharma and samskriti of bharat. least pay for your mistakes or improve them. in the name of Jesus they are erasing bharatiya samskriti (culture) and sabhyata(civilization).
@@Aasumi_ I'm sry bro... But u r totally wrong... On what basis u r lecturing us....i assume u must hv heard from some so called religious scholar's and dumb politicians point of view... And lecturing us... As an Indian hindu we don't blame any religion or pointing out this is good and that is bad... But u know what hindu Kings never done any kind of masscare.. Mass killing... Colonial activities around the world.... It's ur religion Christianity and so called Christian scholars and those radicalised Islamic scholars made the mess of this world... And we hv been suffering till now...
The best speech I have heard in years.
Explaining in a nutshell for the main root cause of today's problems, not just the climate change!
Absolutely stunning speech in it's details and level of truth. Unfortunately he is a member of cpi who have vowed to destroy everything Hindu/Indian from the face of the earth. He is travelling around the world attacking and trying to shame and humiliate India and the Govt of India. In essence he is just a big fake playing to the audience. I have heard this speech before from Shashi Tharoor. I wonder who borrowed it from whom?
He is indian and those are very much deep to humanity by culture and sole
Yess.... It was America all along .
@@shivamchandrawat5511 Thank you for your comment.
I would not point a finger on a specific countries or governments, colonization started much earlier and by some western European countries.
The main root cause I would put on human greed for power and money, that goes well along with today's society.
There are no real regulations on world level that can put limit on human greed for power, growing exponentially over time and causing problems like climate changes, nuclear power, and artificial intelligence as a future threat for humanity.
@@Jayantimaharaj nahh, it's just your cheap mentality of making everything communal and hating everything secular and other religions.
We Brazilians Indians, Peruvians, Indonesian, Mexicans, Ethiopians, South Africans, should get more close to discuss and act towards our own interests!!! While we leave and let those lawmakers from north hemisphere dictates what is good for us trough their institutions (G7, IMF, etc) we are doomed! cuz they will NEVER goes hand to hand to us...they just see us as low budget clients and "low" value products producers....
We tried doing this in the 1950's in Bandung and in Belgrade, we need to do it again. We should look at our third world brothers instead of these vultures in the Global North. We won't have a future without a pan-South coalition.
Chinese as well.
West is evil
BRICS needs to grow
Right now it's just a economic coalition.
We need something that can control all of production, china does that but ccp is not really jolly about humanity.
Very true, I'm half Iranian half Indian and I've always believed that South Asians have more in common with Latin Americans and Africans than with anyone else. We were ruthlessly colonized and dehumanized, our colonizers haven't changed and they will never stop seeing us as people who are beneath them.
But luckily for us, we are more in number than them. All we have to do is unite and we can show them that we don't need their patronizing leadership to tell us what we should do with ourselves and our countries.
As a European living in India, I have to say he’s absolutely correct about everything!
He is
Bro which city u live ?
False
@@distinctga5811 can you supply that with any evidence or logical argument countering the mans argument? Because otherwise "false" Isn't enough
@@Mendaxxx False is plenty because arguing with people like you is like arguing with a beggar on the street.
Indian history is one of constant conquests by authoritarian dictatorships. People like you aren't mad about conquest or oppression, you are simply trying to play the beggar as if you've been wronged. In reality, Indians have no right to complain about a game that they so willfully played for ALL of their history simply because they lost. It's a bad look. The thief has no right to complain about getting robbed.
Then there is the idea of Indians focusing solely on "what they are owed" If you want to tally up what was taken from India you must also consider what was given to India. When you weigh the two you find that India isn't owed anything. In fact India would OWE.
Everything developed about India is an accomplishment of the West. In fact, western technology is the sole reason that an extra 900 MILLION Indian's are alive today via increased carrying capacity. But you won't hear any gratitude. Cars, phones, radio, satellites, internet, airplanes, computers: all accomplishments by the West shared freely with India. Yet you won't hear any gratitude, not even from the extra 900 million people in India because of it. The list goes on and it is a very long one.
Then there is the idea of ideology: the very governing system that India has implemented is an American ideology that has been spread throughout the world as a matter of policy. The treaties signed with Britain during WW2 ended the sustainability of colonialism. Then the English speaking population, with the advantage of western thoughts and ideas naturally came to dominate the sub-continent. Democracy, woman's rights, the rights of humans: all contributions by the West. Ask yourself why a Muslim or Woman in India doesn't make the same complaints towards the West? Because they understand that their rights stem from Western ideology, yet there are still large segments of Indian society that would seek to deny these rights.
Next, if you want to level things out, why not do it across all dimensions? There is the idea of the Caste system. Why don't the upper castes give all of their wealth to the lower for the constant oppression both physically and mentally through brutality and religious justification. Why doesn't every man give up all their assets for the constant oppression of women. What about the conquests of the past within India?
Lastly there is the very idea of 'India', which was only unified under foreign occupation, first through the Caliphate, then, after years of civil war, the British. India was falling apart at the seems after the Caliphate dissolved.
India has no moral standing to make such a claim and such a claim, in and of itself, only makes sense when you ignore the vast contributions the West has made not only to India, but the entire world.
"2.7 billion people can't eat now and you are telling them to reduce consumption" - such a heart touching words. Salute your speech sir

I absolutely loved the choice of words, he said when british left india and again corrected on to say when we "THREW" them out of India... BRAVO
Except, we never did "throw" them out. They simply ran out of money to hold down their vast colony, and with mounting pressure from the new anti imperialist superpowers the USA and USSR, they had to begin decolonization anyway.
@@krishpatel3156 even if there can be /are different layers of reason to this or any political situation.. lets not take away the credit for the efforts that has been made.. I appreciate ur knowledge but we indians have a habit of demeaning ourselves and give credits/ifs/buts/excepts to west.
@@mybaekisbae8262 Yes I agree, there was tremendous effort made by the generations under british rule. I have immense respect for them as should any rational person. 🙏🏽
@@krishpatel3156 except our protests, and freedom fighters was the main reason we got free.
@@avatarxsonofgod4315 Well, no not really. Protesting and fighting was going on for 2 whole centuries, but they didn't go anywhere. Sure the protests played a role in all of this, but the main reason was that the world was shifting geopolitically and so, they had to leave. Their interest of colonialism was not relevant anymore and was frowned upon by the superpowers. They were also in debt after the war.

Like a seal
I admire this speaker, direct and factual, no plus or minus just straight talk to the face of these people. I just wish that more people like him be given a chance to speak up.
I think its great that they stand up for their rights . but i have to ask why is NOT THEIR Government doing to stand UP for their PEOPLE instead of letting it happen??
@@annimacca8786 Look at what is happening to China when they speak up. Misinformation and outright lies are fabricated against China with faked evidence and testimonies. And the Western media perpetuate these lies without doing their due diligence. This smacks of racism with a deep rooted colonial mindset
@@annimacca8786 please now don't lecture us
Respect!!!
As a Chinese, this speech reminds me of a story I heard when I was young.In 1987, Darrell,a England kid,accused Malaysia of "cutting down forests for millions of pounds". The full text reads: "I am 10 years old. I hope to have the opportunity to study the animals of the rainforest when I grow up. But if you keep letting the logging companies keep logging, everything will disappear. Hundreds of thousands of animals will die. Do you think that's the right thing to do? For a few million pounds or more for one man! I don't think it's honorable! '
In China,we have a word that '何不食肉糜' ,which in english is ‘Why not eat minced meat’.
If we don't understand what people around the world are really worried about, how can we truly respect all people.
Forgive my poor English expression XD！
哈哈哈我发现我们总是会为我们的英语道歉，刻在DNA里了属于是
"何不食肉糜"在西方也有一个版本, 就是法国的玛丽皇后的"Let them eat cake".
Just ask the kid which country is buying products from logging.
@@user-fp9zv4mm6m 我不会，我最多会说我不太会解释这些东西。

I'm sharing this widely. It's exactly what we all need to understand. And to do better.
It seems conquerors have one way track. Inability to empathize or listen,and introspect. And then realize to see the havoc caused in many continents
Like the most
@@rasbijalpatel310 they are not conquerors but Invaders who were defeated by all the countries they invaded.
Same questions are posed by our SCs … higher castes looted them, exploited them, shunted them to slums for 3,000 years. Is there a plan to compensate them?
For now they may drop some crocodile tears pretend to willing to give up their comfort. But when it really comes to taking the action, they will do everything and anything to crush us from the right of survival.
Yes this is the truth what he spoke.... These 5 percent of people are using 30 percent of resources and lend us money to work for them
They lend us our own money!
Hmm. Ha ha. There seems to be a catch,every time. What’s in it for us !?
@THE ZOLDICS no it isn’t. Absolutely painful to listen with loud background music.
@@AissataArt LOL. False.
This is one of the most powerful speech I have heard in many years.
Makes me think of how much privilege I have as an Indigenous person that grew up poor in America. I am learning to break this colonial mindset.
Don’t think about privilege, think about power. The best thing for the world would be the colonized people of the Americas taking back power and eliminating the control the US has over finance and technology. As a settler whose family only came here because of British colonialism in India impoverishing my family, I’ll be with you all the way.

This world needs a person like that. A person that stays sharp and willing to expose the thought which haven't been brain-washed by the western mdeia.

@@CaiZhongwen2023 you are brain washed too dude.😂😂😂😂.my father is a comrade but he is not from Assam.. Yeah there are marxist people in assam but not only in assam..india is so diverse you can meet people believing in different ideology(becoz we believe in liberty of thoughts unlike some countries) from different place yet living and celebrating together,so don't try to break us by categorising states.. And yeah of course they can be marxist but they are not at all keen to be xi jinpingist😂😂😂😂😆😅..

@@CaiZhongwen2023 caste is redundant thing in India, except politics. Your just brainwashed by your media
@@CaiZhongwen2023 uncivilized illiterate? Go and educate yourself. That person is a historian from kolkata, west Bengal. And yeah India as a country is way older than china.
Till 12th century whole South East Asia was part of aryabhat (curretly known as India.) With time every country's geopolitical boundary political and social structure changes and that's the case with India. And we India are not reluctant to accept such changes and respect every country's sovereignty unlike china which every now and then claim others sovereignty.. This list consisting taiwan, hongkong, Vietnam, tibet etc is so long. We threw britishers out and reshaped our political structure in a progressive way ,that's it but you dumbo couldn't understand such simple thing and though it was the day when India born.. No India is the country which taught you guys civilization, kumfu,yoga gave Buddhism and jainism. Just because britishers gave India a name" India".it never means that they made India. In fact that looters were so desperate to find India that they named Americans red indies .when EU can exist then why not ancient India with different kingdom in a federal yet United form exist. And yeah the whole world know about what is happening in xinxiang with muslims, we know about human rights violations in china, attacks and raps of sportsperson and I know that how you are accessing to Internet..
And yeah I respect china for its hardworking people and i respect that it is also an ancient civilization but people like you are the reason, for the degraded image of your country
In this cruel western capitalist countries structure, it takes too much courage to tell the truth and reveal the real face of rich countries. Remarkable speech!
Lmfao what is the real face of India?
Corruption lol
@@jjjjgff7489 corruption in India is planted by Westerns only. so that they can control India through corruption only. this is what happened during colonization. otherwise there is no way few thousand people can colonize country like India. they cant do it by themself so they use corruption and bribe them to do as they like. this is the evil way of colonization by westerns. shame. it's cheating. they don't have guts to face us head on. why don't they drop their weapons and fight bare body. world will know who is the boss. don't underestimate the flexibility of Indians.
@@Yogi_The_Bitter_Truth_2408 nah bro Britishers made most of the upper caste and parsi community extremely wealthy and turned lower caste extremely poor and backward in everything whether it's economically or socially
@@Yogi_The_Bitter_Truth_2408 the elite castes in india who were privileged helped Britishers exploit the lower caste peasants and tribal people one of the most famous example is the santhal rebellion of Jharkhand and their fight against the merchant castes and Britishers
@RKA RKA Britishers didn't made the caste system the Brahmins made it in 5th century BCE and British empire came to Indian subcontinent to do business to make money but they were having hard time governing the people in the subcontinent because of the diversity so now came the Brahmins and then Britishers with the help of Brahmins created Hindu identity and manusmriti was now full fledgedly in place the upper caste and parsi community became rich and the so called lower caste and some tribal groups became poor
Bravo, Prashad! Hear ye! hear ye! Let this speech ring around the world, especially in the global north!
As usual, Vijay telling it as it is. No beating around the bush. Love this guy.

Best speech I heard in a long long time.
Well done sir 👏🏿
What's funnier (isn't) is that out people also need to hear this. The problem impact of colonialism is that they erase you, your identity, religion and culture. After they wiped our ancestors who was left to teach us who we are? No one.
We are then forced to pick up a new identity and taught to think less, fight for less and eventually accept less.
Colonialism is Stockholm syndrome on an industrial scale.
Oh yes , the last line makes so much sense.
Well said sir🙌
truth
The last line is so perfect! It just summarizes what is wrong with today’s world with all the white worship.
Not really. The British didn't interfere with religion or molest women in their dominions. They didn't really interfere with the identity
The problem is that non of you have heard of Nadr Shah or the Mughals or Ottomans lol your all really really ignorant
Wow powerful speech.. I'm from Glasgow and this was not shown anywhere near me 🙏
They dont want truth to be exposed.
This speech deserve to be shared widely. Expose hypocrisy of the West and the tree huggers who never know what starvation is like.
He knocked it right out of the park! But the question lingers, "will those with the settler mentality ever listen or care?"
Nobody cares. It's all about power. Can you become powerful than them? There's no pity, crying or begging in international geopolitics. If you can't back yourself up with power, you won't win at the negotiation table.
@@andtam008 Which is exactly why the African continent needs nukes
@@jayclarke777 Wrong idea. Nukes are the final means of deterrence. Nothing more.
With nukes, you still can't defend against regime change, color revolution, coups, instigated riots, NGOs' propaganda, international discourse, manufactured domestic divisions, etc.....
It's so easy to throw an African country into chaos or hijack the government with CIA trained puppets.
@@andtam008, to your initial reply, your point is moot. Those with the settler mentality includes all those with political power, which means my question stands unquestionable. But if we're going to talk about the laymen, well, if they suddenly gave a damn, governments and capitalists would tremble and quake, as power fears nothing but an uprising of the people who realize that said power is imaginary.
@@jayclarke777 agree, but it should also be backed with strong military power. else just look at recent conditions of Iran and North Korea , demonization and sanctions.
Viciously impassioned! Bravo,Sir!
Vicious indeed!
With little knowledge that I have, I always see this pattern of condescending western behaviour. It boils my blood. Kudos to you Mr. Vijay. Naman to your knowledge & courage to put right words for what’s really happening. Thank you.
Indeed!
To supplement all this, as Michael Parenti puts it, these countries aren't underdeveloped they're overexploited.
Of course this is all obfuscated through ideology and propped up materially via a global corporate empire directed currently by US hegemony, the ideology being effectively transmitted through essentially a substitution cipher of euphemisms with different private/public understandings along with a complex superstructural network that overarches this global supremacy at the behest of transnational corporate/financial capital using this entirely contrived conception of Westphalian nation-states to create arbitrary divisions between the global working class (and denote bourgeois spheres of influence to capital, an example of that distinct private/public understanding), and so the colonialism/imperialism/mercantilism of old that can no longer be justified explicitly through pseudoscience or [insert nebulous concocted non-material nonsense here] becomes just the good 'ol US empire (tm) (r) (c) "giving aid" or "freedom" or whatever manufactured nonsense. In other words, this grotesque belligerent _literally earth destroying_ system is merely normalized and abstracted into "rational" market logic, perpetual profit extraction at quite literally all other costs ("externalities" to put on the neoclassical econ/neoliberal ideological blindfold).
To briefly expand on the mechanism for anyone circumstantially unfamiliar, the Bretton-Woods international financial system leveraged by the US post-WWII by being the only industrialized nation-state _not_ bombed to hell effectively took the imperial baton from the British and their pound sterling, establishing the institutions of the IMF/World Bank and cementing the dollar as the "global reserve currency". As Vijay is pointing out these institutions act as imperial tentacles lending capital in the form of dollar loans under the stipulation of absolute control of labor/markets/resources by US capital - any nation-states refusing to bend the knee like Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, et al. of course get perpetually coup-ed by the CIA or just overtly invaded, tracking the CIA's "regime change" operational history will reveal this so transparently that it baffles the mind how we allowed this to somewhat knowingly occur, especially in such overt imperialism like Vietnam (also see: Pentagon Papers, wikileaks #freeassange ) - I would say the explanation as to why (though not an excuse, merely to understand descriptively) red scare(s)/Taft-Hartley to kill the heart and soul of labor power in the US established briefly by the New Deal - but of course, still disgusting to say the least, trying to paraphrase as much as possible here ie just give a jumping off point for anyone to further delve into this insanity, hopefully that's clear...to quote Parenti again as I think like Vijay, he gets at this succinctly and cuts through the loads of bs we're ubiquitously bombarded with well, importantly highlighting the _only_ political question here, cui bono? (who benefits?):
_“In their perpetual confusion, some liberal_ [as opposed to leftist, to be clear for US people who have been taught the bounds of "the left" are limited to liberals who have more or less nothing to do with any anticapitalist left ie any *actual* left] _critics conclude that foreign aid and IMF and World Bank structural adjustments ‘do not work’; the end result is less self-sufficiency and more poverty for the recipient nations, they point out. Why then do the rich member states continue to fund the IMF and World Bank? Are their leaders just less intelligent than the critics who keep pointing out to them that their policies are having the opposite effect? No, it is the critics who are stupid not the western leaders and investors who own so much of the world and enjoy such immense wealth and success. They pursue their aid and foreign loan programs because such programs do work. The question is, work for whom? Cui bono?”_ - Michael Parenti
_"The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make and could just as easily make differently."_ - the late great David Graeber, his book on debt and its history, Debt: The First 5,000 Years also _incredibly_ eye-opening as to the _actual_ use/origin of money/debt for directing armies at scale and more generalized social bondage. _"Capitalism needs debt like Christianity needs hell"_ as Yanis Varoufakis
put it succinctly, referring to the Roman Empire's adoption of Christianity and concoction of the concept of hell as a last ditch attempt to usurp its revolutionary potential toward maintaining its waning imperial control. Hopefully that filled in any potential lacunas if not already known entirely, and/or made sense lol...solidarity!

One of the Mind-boggling - motivational speech by a proud Indian in an international forum, - full of facts- straight drive ! - we have ever heard. What our earlier Indian rulers - post-independence - hesitated to utter or not dare to speak -- our Most Respected Shri Vijay Prashard (Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research) has done it ! Well done sir! We are very very proud of you. Every person in the entire Globe MUST listen to this audio, not just by Indians. This will bring the entire Humanity together, which is the need of the hour 👍
we must create an atmosphere that there is " no poverty-no boundary- clean atmosphere".
Even now its is not too late- we have to demand the "stole" money back- if it is possible(?) - we can use that money to feed the entire poor and needy nations, which Indian Government is already supporting several countries with kind and humanitarian approach and gesture. Recent example being Vaccines and food supplies in tons to the poor and needy brothers and sisters of several countries
Sorry but India has had 70 years to become a superpower and you've ruined it through corruption and theft

@@kuldeeprana1908 SMH, the Europeans came to Africa and found thriving civilizations in Egypt (Kemet), Sudan (Nubia), Ethiopia (Aksum), Mali (Timbuktu), Swahili Tricity States (Tanzania), Benin Empire (Nigeria) and Great Zimbabwe.

@@jjjjgff7489 Looks like you don't know your own history. I know you talk about India here but I bet the same attitude applies in the case of Africa.
When Africans were building great civilisations, Europeans were largely in caves and Europe now has the audacity to claim it civilised us or brought technology to us? Falsified history and misplaced sense of superiority. Read up on what the Portuguese discovered when they first landed in Africa... Kingdoms and Empires and cities that were technologically advanced, cleaner and better laid out that Lisbon or London at the time.
Europe found a civilised continent in the 15th century and destroyed it, including the very fabric of African society.
Europe and US dominates the rest of the world, not because you are superior intellectually or otherwise but because of organised violence and extreme barbarism. That's why your governments spend significant amount of GDP on arms.
Most of your so called technological advances were initially stolen from other parts of the world, refined and labelled as European discoveries.
The West is still stealing and pillaging resources from the rest of the world through your multinationals and neocolonial structures and institutions. The economic aid flows from the global south to Europe and America, not the other way around.
You talk about corruption in developing nations, well most of that corruption is rooted in the neocolonial structures and fuelled in part by European / western corporations. Most of the conflicts in Africa are sponsored or fuelled by the West, who engage in regime changes and prop up dictators. Then, they have the audacity to turn around to lecture us about "democracy"....
Dont worry, the global south is waking up now and will no longer settle for this status quo.
This speech is brilliant and on point!! Thank you Vijay for taking a platform to say what we ethics feel. Your voice is hope. How can the COP Organization get your speech broadcasts on all television outlets in North America, the UK and All European countries? This passionate, factual message MUST be heard. The time is now!
Please correct his name in the title and description. It's Prashad, not Prashard.
Wonderful but full of absolute truth. Courageous, clean and clarity with conceptual truth. 👍👍👍👍👍
I have watched this video 10 times on different channels and still get goosebumps
Spitting truth
it's hard to wake up those who pretend to be sleeping，but at least you are trying. Thanks，Vijay.
मेरे मन को शांति का अनुभव हुआ...... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
This guy should be our Mr. Universe for ever, and an ambasador for every human on the globe
Permanent condition of a ‘ colonial mentality’ . They love lecturing us- how right is that! Thank you for articulating it so well.
Let's spread this speech from a great heart & mind.
Amazing speech !! This is exactly how the rich western nations behave; arrogant, superior, condescending and narcissistic.
Whew! That man spoke so truthfully and powerful! Respect to that brotha! 👍🏾
well said, and very eloquant speaker, i bumped into a video of Vijay Prashad a couple of years ago or perhaps more I don't remember. But I remember how he made sense with a lot of what he said then and on that video as well. Why should we forget the past and think that westerners care about what we* are going through? It really doesn't make sense. if a guy stole from me once, i wont be dealing with that guy ever. Why should we believe what they say. Ask the Iraqis . the Pakistanis , yemenis, Syrian, Libyan, Afghan, Viet about the western nations. Just last week, I saw a 10 second news where they admit having killed three children in Afghanistan, that's all i heard. No other media big or small covered the story. I think its time the east come together.
西方这些人残害了多少第三世界人民太可怕了
Pakistanis are the smartest of all because they have milked the western world at the expense of peace in the region.
Ask Africans too...the global south must unite.
Wise and precise. Best speech i have ever heard in years!
Just see the expression of the lady changing with the speech from a smile to being contentious to finally acknowledging the piece
i noticed it
"We want to tell you what our issues are, but are you willing to listen?"-----Ask from the soul!
still can wake a lots of people up.
No lol
As an Englishman I am done taking responsibility for countries that can't succeed. I love Indian history and the Gita etc but as a people you are failed
@@jjjjgff7489 Thus spoke the Colonial mentality.
@@jjjjgff7489 Ya man, suck a country dry, live off its riches, and then complain about them failing. We don't need your help, we just want you to stop expecting us to be on the same page as you.
@@jjjjgff7489 wo check out ur fked up
Museums, i mean who the fk would make a museum to show the things they robbed, u guys are very creative
What a superb, superb speech.
Hats off, Vijay. 🙏🏼🙏🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇮🇳🇮🇳
As a Pakistani this man has won my heart! He indirectly stood up for Pakistan in a sense that every time the IMF gives a loan to Pakistan it lectures us and etc, when this is our money! This is my Indian forefathers money, this is south Asian money! 45 trillion pounds! God! I mean don’t get me wrong, we Pakistanis are no better that every 2 days we are begging the IMF! Doesn’t look good that we are at their doorsteps every other day! But, the positive is, at least we are getting OUR money back hahaha..That’s the positive..it may be nothing compared to what they stole,but, it’s still something!
Oh Pakistan is whole another gravy buddy, Azhar Mahmud who says I am the father of terrorist organisations .... Roams around in open so how can anyone trust Pakistan? Not even a single prime minister have completed 5 year term.... You have deep issues to sort out
@@kr8s maybe if you did your research, you’d realize under Imran they just jailed him for 30 plus years… so shhhhh 🤫🤫🤫
@@yourdaddy3571 after 4 years? 😂😂😂 Must be a joke
@@kr8s ya we don’t have an Indian jail process where we deem everyone guilty! 😂😂😂 But, you’re welcome, we finally jailed him.. and I know why too, to get out of the FATF..
@@yourdaddy3571 these Pakistani are so delusional, he literally hijacked an aeroplane ffs and openly said about Killing people why he was even out ? Pakistan is a joke for sure
I was continuously looking at the expressions on the face of the lady changing millions of times per second sitting next to the speaker
Absolute masterpiece
I'm loving every single second of this.
DEEPEST RESPECT FOR MY TEACHER AND COMRADE,VIJAY PRASHAD!!! 😑

This man knows how the world works.
The white woman gave him a dirty look when he said we defeated colonialism... at 2:39
Yeaa why did she do that
An absolutely insightful, frank and brave man. My first time hearing him and I will be his ardent follower, going forward.
Beautifully said!! Fantastic job
Wow. This is a fab speech. Salute!!
I loved every single second of this speech.
I live in Western Europe and the heating system begins to work in mid-October every winter, without interruption, while in the same world, during the winter, some villagers in my grandparent's village in northern China make warm through burning woods when they cook, burning coal is a luxury for many of them. Besides, the shopping mall in Hague's street never lights out even it is closed at midnight. The lifestyle in the first world produces more carbon emissions than the underdeveloped regions...
when I first read a book about subaltern studies in middle school, I was impressed by the Indian intellectual's wisdom to develop a well-structured and founded theory to reflect colonialism and challenge the western dominated discourse. Many Indian scholars' articles and books always give me a new angle to reflect imperialism and colonialism. So glad to know a new sage!

@@supergame4940 thank you for sharing this!!!
Do you also include the poorer class in western or eastern europe? Or do you just cherry pick the "best" examples of poverty from China and compare them to the richer classes from europe.
Would it be fair from me to compare people living in big Chinese cities to some poor farmers in rural Slovakia, Italy, Romania, Slovenia (I live here and I don't even have heating, but hey, Central Europe amiright), Bosnia, Serbia, Poland........
Stop generalizing the whole western world.
Vijay Sir u nailed it.
This video should be aired on News channels around the world again and again
How Britain stole $45 trillion from India
? And lied about it.
New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik - just published by Columbia University Press - deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two centuries of detailed data on tax and trade, Patnaik calculated that Britain drained a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938.
I was watching a documentary by the author of Empireland, a Sikh man. He spoke about a massacre by the British that was so awful I cried. I'm African, I never really knew what India was like during the empire. Now I'm reading up coz knowing the whole story is so important.
@@oliviagee9576 India have gone through a lot during British Rule.
The worst case you would find during Famine.
They also divided us and broke into pieces, they let communal riots happening everywhere in India.
We are suffering these things till date...
@@oliviagee9576 yes, read about the jallianwala bagh massacre which happened on 13th april,1919 under General dwyer.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
What’s the worth of 2.5 million Indian soldiers who died for Britain in WW2?
divide and rule policy
Very very true n you are great n son of God n I think we have to get rid off those colonialism like USA , Australia , uk n Europe. Disgrace-full disgusting n evil .
Thank you Vijay !
World watching n God watching n blessed .
Very admirable speech. All Colonialism affected races/countries are in debt from the wreckless and greedy nature of the dominant nations since colonial expansion. Europeans (including US/Russia) are the reason why the world is in a mess today forcing non european nations into these conflicts which still continue to this day. The world wars and any other conflict, included the pandemics could have been avoided but colonialism forced everyones hand to be victims of its own wrath. So much innocent lives have been lost in the last 300 years and plenty more will be lost in the future due to hatred through racial/religious indifference, greed, power, pride. I am a Punjabi/South Indian born and still living in Australia. I was almost white washed but I found my roots and this knowledge I have passed down to my children. This strength I have has kept me challenging any racially motivated individual or groups who spoke ill of anyone who was different of themselves and living in Australia, from what I have witnessed you see a lot of racism going on here mainly coming from caucasian/european backgrounds. Instead of hatred, I show respect to any Pakistani, Afghani, Nepali, Sri Lankan, Bangali person I come accross because they are really my countrymen regardless of these borders dividing us placed by the british. I know this was mainly due to religious violence but if India was not divided or conquered, I believe we could have co-existed to build a strong unified india with the economic strength surpassing China at an earlier stage, our military strength on par with US to have the position to condemned actions taken by the top 3 superpowers, but most of all we would have deminished poverty and famine through the potential of its growing industry/agriculture. It would have been China and India side by side not needing to conquer but lead the world economically instead of having europeans, US and Russia leading the world in violence. It is very upsetting to see the decay of colonialism still being witnessed to this day on India's/Australia's streets but I am proud to see India slowly making progression to become a better nation. It is good to see India will surpass UK in GDP by end of this year.
One of the best speeches I heard.🌹🌹🌹
Brilliant! Let it sound and awaken the deaf!
This guy is the best. You won't see much of him on BBC ..
Perfect speech from a respectful Indian wise man!
This speech is not any less valuable than the one by Martin Luther King.
The best speech and brutal truth I heard ever on colonisations and climate change. We need more such people who speaks with such an impact . I wish people like Trevor Noah help to bring such voices on global platforms. #TrevorNoah #TheDailyShow
Finally...someone said what needed to be said....'We are not in this together'
My gawd, Vijay Prashad should be the Prime Minister of India. He's got depth, wisdom, amazing insight.
I come back to this over and over. Have being transcribing Vijay Prashard's words this morning.
Immensely bold speech denouncing colonialism and propounding how this is the root cause of so many ills ----from global warming to billions of poor people around the globe.
Wow, here is one man who has so much guts to take on rich, powerful countries like UK, AMERICA & other advanced countries of the world. Bravo Vijay, keep it up and tear this ppl with the truth of their bad thinking, intentions and deeds 🙏
We need more people to come to this tables and talk the right thing
Wow!! Actual goosebumps listening to this 😊
Hope one day Indians, and Chinese will become brothers and sisters. My respect goes to this man!!!
Well said Vijay, powerful remarks!
Make this video viral and let world know the truth
.....I want Indians to show there power and others too making it popular .....
“A child who hasnt eaten in days” this struck my soul 😔
We have to stand our ground on climate bullying, be prepared for anything.
Thank you Vijay for expressing my thoughts where they could be heard.
we defeated u , gives me a chill. 1947 , 15 Aug we love this day.

Tip: There are 400 US military bases around China, but the United States claims that the threat from China and claims that China is a country of aggression.
