Great interview. I've been reading a bit bout the history of India lately and I'm quite shocked about how advanced the society was about 2200 years ago. State owned and run production of textiles, weapons, iron ores, even gambling and prostitution was run by the state and regulations of a lot of trade and prices. Sounds rather like 20th century. And I have also learned something about advances in mathematics around the 14th century, pretty impressive stuff. This talk complements it well, thanks.
@长者居中 Not exactly. Indian Harappan Civ was unique. We are not talking about the achievements of the IVC and post IVC era which were also great in the fields of literature, mathematics and science but were mostly academic. Harappan civ was uniquely great because of the system of organisation it had. It was probably a great model of the first capitalist society in the world with added safety nets and public pools and plumbing for the masses. The first proper urban philosophy that was comparable to modern urban philosophy. Later periods were more feudalistic than Harappan Civ.
@长者居中 I am belittling other civs. I am just saying Harappan civ had advanced tech like flush toilets and rainwater drainage systems and efficient pipeworks for hot water systems. Things that were lost from these parts for a long time after that. I know some Indians make outlandish claims regarding crazy stuff Wakandan shit but I am talking about more normal stuff. As far as I know Harappan civ was the first and only ancient civ to be using flush toilets. That seems like a big achievement scientifically for its time.
Noam Chomsky combines immense intelligence with moral force and as a result is a breath of fresh air in vastly polluted environment. His honesty can at times be comical as he debunks all kinds of fallacies. I wish this world had more like him.
Thank god someone has sense around here, the man is an intellectual and moral force highlighting the cross between modernism and the 21st century. Chronicing the and involving himself in the most important conflicts of his lifetime, altering history, but not just altering it, mitigating calamity. At 84 he teaches at MIT the heirarchy HE created while still fighting for the lives of others. His mind can understand things this world will never see again.
With organization and neatness Chomsky is able to addresses every aspect of peoples' questions in a way I could not manage even by spending days pondering, fact checking in order to type a written response.
That was nice to see professor chomsky laughing and smiling, You dont see him do that often!! IT was refreshing ,YOU SHOULD AT LEAST TRY ONCE OR TWICE Professor , only on one of your longer talks, of course.👩⚖
you are not alone. I tend to get sleepy or get distracted while I am listening to him. I k now his a great guy and I do respect him so I am doing my best to listen to him.
@Aryan Sharma Sikhs are hardly even 5% of Indians. They are as few as Christians. Probably, you should read and travel more to get a perspective of how horrible poverty and inequality is in rest of the India (also include South Asia - Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal) as compared to rest of the world. It's sub-Saharan levels and in some other pockets in metro-cities upper-middle class and rich live substantially better life. But the rest of the population is condemned to worst sort of poverty.
Unfortunately, some of the footage of his answer to the first question was lost. He talked about how the great Bengal Famine which claimed 2-4 million lives was a completely manmade calamity.
I would love to include this interview in my upcoming documentary about India. If the interviewer grants permission I will more than happily credit them in the final credits?
Nordic Pride haha don't worry we are taking care of that...but recent immigration in Nordic countries don't show any indication of any Nordic pride....haha sorry to say pussified man you Nordics have become..
Fascinating video - tho it seems mostly Chomsky responding to the topic of India in various ways rather than discussing India itself - he speaks a lot about his own background and the insular intellectual climates he's dealt with, and what they were focusing on instead, or what's been happening in Europe in relation to a question about India - about half an hour in, he starts talking at length more directly about India - still very interesting -
Nice to find this interview! I don't understand how either of you missed the caste system while discussing the social structure of India. It's almost entirely based on the caste system. The focus was on urban India I suppose, where the slum dwellers are the lower castes. Oh wait, that's true everywhere.
That's exactly my point and why your opinion as you said is hopelessly flawed. He knows what he's saying, he addresses thr arguments of the points in favor of the positions under discussion and then discusses the issues relevant to the matter. You just don't understand philosophy and how intelligent he is to grasps these matters wholley and fully.
have you got a suggestion for reading about colonial history in india? something along the lines of " a peoples history of the united states" by howard zinn.
You will be murdered if that kind of book was published in India. It's truly an authoritarian state. No real criticism of Indian can be published, you will die. Its really a very dangerous country for free thought and publishing. This is ain't California bro
An example is the cognitive revolution he launched with a single paper, the way he cut-off behaiviorism was by writing a paper in how findings in lunguistics undermined the claims behaivorism was making about the mind at the time in history, then paving the way for the cognitive interpretation of the mind to move in.
You could have left out the last question, whether it was in jest or not. Chomsky took it in good humour but effectively asking someone if they think they may be a descendent of a deity or a supreme being (Hindu avatar) was just a bit silly.
vikeyz1 nah sultanate also donated their rival muslimm woman to hindu men eg afghan girls were gifted to rajpoot chamchas of mughals by mughla kings and ahahah and most of the girls in harem were from lower class convert muslim check history bitch ahahhahhaago to any kothas U will get the history hehehehe
tiraandaz Fatalism of caste indoctrination by brahmin can be unlearned by coming in contact with world school of thought or philosophy ..right now media is baniya brahmin dominated plus education funds are getting fewer and fewer for govt. schools where english in not taught and a dalit and sudra cant study in private schools . thats the reason more than half of people couldn't even begin to destroy caste shackles or develop caste consciousness in a way that it can be resisted against until they got access to english chhotu ram and ambedkar emphasised on it again and again don't give us jobs but allow us indipendent institution where they can learn english but congis and rss make sure govt. school don't have english education .. so thats why most dalits don't know about ambedkar accept their fate as their eternal dharma or duty to please gods .. even now hindutva ideologues work hard to coopt dalit and sudra fight for development of their indipendent political and social identity . And Pedagogy of oppressed has whole school of thought that if you control means of information you control the peoples . It still rings true as dalit scholar vemula found out in his harrasment by upper caste dominated institute . Even hindu upper caste blame sultans for their predicament to distract people from knowing who the collaborators of sultan and brits were .
true,that period has costed india trillion of dollars,Nehru 's socialist policies literally crippled India to its knees,and they had no choice but to open the economy in 199 after which things got better due to rapid growth,some estimates put the losses at 125 trillion dollars over 40 years,from 1947.
No problem, dude. I understand. Knowing Chomsky, I thought he might delve right into caste system. Anyway, thanks for conducting the interview in the first place. He's becoming pretty weak physically, sadly.
Even Chomsky knows "Calcutta remained one of the intellectual centre "...Good to hear that, though the intellectual dictatorship of Kolkata has changed a lot in recent years
It's a pity a great thinker like Noam Chomsky is expressing this level of ignorance and has not been able to rise above the superficiality and see the true tenet of Indianness.
You are so blind and that's why you love india, can't criticize yourself, which is good for you and your children. We will not accept your evil, dont step out of India, you will be intellectually taken out
those ideals were necessary at the time to distance ourselves from the capitalist imperialist ideals of our former overlords. Remember there was a time when India was controlled by an evil multinational company. It did cripple the nation but if liberalization had happen too soon, it would make us a market and not give a chance for our sectors to grow.
It doesn't prove a point though they just try yo save face by underimining your argument with an unjustified sense of superiority. It seems strange to me that every person would be so self abdorned that they habe to.feel right in eberything they do all the time being so unjustifiably self-righteous, so selfish deserves to be condmned and at ought to be looked down upon by immature assholes who would call themselves adults. It is indefensible.
Feigned compassion, like what the jesus freaks do is worse. Getting slammed by hard working bums just trying to make a buck or learn something from the foreigner is tiring but not a negative experience, you just tune it out.
Amlan Chatterjee another Bengali who thinks himself superior to his family just because he was lucky enough to read Russian Literature and drink Darjeeling tea while the others dragged themselves for a living. Fuck you, bitch.
India had some thinkers whose science/mathematics work that was comparable to Western Europe & Germany of the time, but it was Britain that eventually industrialized. India & China's homegrown sciencetific develoment did not lead to their industrialization. Maybe, if it weren't for foreign intervention of the two they could of followed Britain lead. Another maybe is that India & China could of industrialized by themshelves without exposure to Europe.
That means you haven't I seen many Indians. There are swaths of Indian intellectuals shitting on India on a daily basis, a lot of the times sadly deservingly so, a lot Indian population hates them for it and a lot love it when they criticize India on any international forum.
Did Noam Chomsky actually call the years in India prior to 1979 "Democratic Capitalism??? I hate to break it to this "scholar," but the economic liberalization of India didn't start until 1991. Until then it was his "glorious" socialism that was the guiding principle of the Indian economy.
@@shivashankar6599 there is a tendency to say "who is this person or who is he to give advice or make a statement". That is valid. The response can be something like Professor Noam Chomsky is the most quoted public intellectual in modern times. He has plethora of experience in debating the toughest intellectuals over the past 60+ years. He has a proven track record in winning arguments in a logical and intelligent manner. The servants of power both on the right and left will not engage with him due to his intellectual prowess. If they do, they lose the argument and walk away with their heads down
Haha, very clever. You know everything, don't you? (See, I can say the same thing to you. That's why merely trying to insult people on youtube isn't very intelligent - because they can always say the same thing back to you. Most people figure this out in kindergarten, with others it takes a little longer.)
Lol... Just to let you know I was a fan of his philosophy about generative grammar and deep, surface structures.... But if you analyze how the face of the whole thing has changed over the half century, you would say how he had contributed in manipulating the ideas (his and others) without doing actual experimentation.. coz the truth is Mr. Anupam that nothing can be shown as a fact unless you are able to replicate the thing in several different conditions and when a second experimenter couldn't replicate his claims, he kept changing his stance... I am not sure if you can make sense of what I am getting to.. So Please save your opinion about me reading the Wikipedia.. may be you should try to read more on his work(s) other than pol science....
+Arun “Offbeat” Macha You're a refreshing wind after all the ignorance I've seen in the Indian websites.I feel sad India has wavered from its destiny of being a good example to the world for Truth,generosity and Love, and instead is an example for ignorance and intolerance.When will India realise its destiny?
The british did way more genocide than muslims, also it's obvious that you're one of these guys that just hate it when people talk about the west and try to shift focus on muslims.
***** Yep Yep ! Pseudo Nationals like Bankimchandra who glorify India on the basis of Caste-ridden Hinduism that tore through Indian society and made India "invite bastion" to foreign invasions ! keep glorifying Hindu fanaticism ! And India will remain a developing county for the next 50 years ! The truth is, British turned India around towards modernity, and spread education and turned turtle the caste system which ushered justice and fairness ! The day this 6% of indian society and it stooges stop spreading these lies, then a true MODERN DEVELOPED INDIA WILL RESULT WHEN JUSTICE FOR ALL INDIANS WILL BE DISPENSED IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR RACE,RELIGION, REGION AND CASTE. btw, the IT professionals and the IT revenue of $145 billion dollars came forth due the spread of the ENGLISH EDUCATION BY THE BRITISH !
***** MY SINCERE APOLOGIES SIR. I had NOT read your earlier comments and mistakenly responded with IGNORANCE. I am very sorry. I COMPLETELY AGREE with YOU ! YES INDIAN HISTORY IS HIGHLY SANITIZED and TINKERED! My only concern is, that MY BELOVED INDIA does NOT fall prey to HINDU or MUSLIM or SIKH or any other Religious Fanaticism but to grow into a DEVELOPED COUNTRY where in the eyes the World WE STAND SECOND TO NONE and where JUSTICE, FAIRNESS, LIBERTY AND EQUALITY REIGN. ONLY THEN THIS MAD EXODUS OF "DESI" PEOPLE TO FOREIGN LANDS WILL STOP AND THAT EVERY INDIAN WILL STAY BACK IN INDIA AND STRIVE FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOREIGN LANDS ! I WISH YOU WELL !!! TAKE CARE.

thanks for posting this video, very informative.
Haha. It seems the interviewer expected Chomsky's answers all to be laudatory of India. From about 30:20 Chomsky gives him something very different.
Indian Subcontinent is one of the most unequal places on earth. Reasons are many, but the biggest one is Barbaric superstition and caste.

Great film about this called Distant Thunder, by legendary Bengali director Satyajit Ray
Why can't I save this video in one of my playlists??
I was hoping for some questions on India-Pakistan political scence and Kashmir tensions a bit. He is usually very candid about that sort of stuff.
I wish he had a clearer voice. Very interesting.

Hannah Arendt explains the difference between Imperialism, Colonial Settlements as the intimate connections between them. Happy reading folks! :)

My only concern is, that MY BELOVED INDIA does NOT fall prey to HINDU or MUSLIM or SIKH or any other Religious Fanaticism but to grow into a DEVELOPED COUNTRY where in the eyes the World WE STAND SECOND TO NONE and where JUSTICE, FAIRNESS, LIBERTY AND EQUALITY REIGN. ONLY THEN THIS MAD EXODUS OF "DESI" PEOPLE TO FOREIGN LANDS WILL STOP AND THAT EVERY INDIAN WILL STAY BACK IN INDIA AND STRIVE FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOREIGN LANDS ! I WISH YOU WELL !!! TAKE CARE.
