I am a proud Christian of indian descent.
My observation: As a Hindu majority, the culture will automatically be hindu centric.. naturally. However, the hindus and christians and other religions were passive, but as there was some assertiveness from the muslim side, i assume the hindu side decided to be unapologetic about being themselves and decided not to be pushed around by various forces because they felt lost without feeling roooted and also it was difficult to establish a proper national identity or a cohesive vision for the future or a sense of civilization.
Bharat aspires to be a civilization and a nation and produce thoughts and ideas authentic to itself because it saw how the west abandoned its own judeo Christian values and embraced post modernism. India didn't want to buy into the post modernist lie and risk loosing its 4000 year civilization history or lineage or identity.
You are a rare person....
Very true. Islam is monotheistic and non Muslims are called infidels. I am not saying every Muslim thinks this way ,but certainly some Mullahs and Madrasas preach this ideology. There are no such problems with others such as christians and Parsis for example. The fact that Muslims voted en bloc meant that they had an out sized influence on politics in some states such as UP, Bihar, WB, etc. Minority appeasement under congress was really a problem Indians had to deal with and that's why BJP has been successful.
Well said.
Well articulated
Hindu centric is inclusive of everyone as Hindu philosophy emphasizes it. India will remain democratic as long as it remains Hindu- Islam is theocratic- my as Kim’s know no democracy
Muslims have no idea of democracy
If it's Hindu centric no problem we didn't invade or coloninalise any country in the name of religion.
Nor convert people unlike how the other religions are doing to the Indians.
Indians did invade other counties. Malaysia and Singapore were invaded by Ancient Indian rulers. That's why you can see some cultural similarities in those countries.
@@rajpawar9343marriage pacts differ from invasion, such marriages happened between southern Indian nobility/influential merchants and indonesian, cambodian, Thi nobility hence the indian influence in these places you can google the stories too, wars happened long after the men from lesser nobility in sothern India married into the higher nobility womens family in south eastern asia, the ensuing kingdoms with mixed genetics and indian influence were the ones that got into wars not specifically Indians, even then no forced religious conversions happened
Then how Ancient Malayasians and Indonesians were Hindus? They were forcefully converted to Hinduism by Chola Empire.
@@rajpawar9343😂😂 Dumb, there is no concept called conversion in Sanatan dharm

There is no state religion. India is the only country in the world where religion does not define your identity. Because Hinduism is not a religion, it is a way of life.

India is secular because the majority are Hindus. Otherwise it is impossible for other religions to be secular. Conversions are rampant because they know Hindus do not convert. Now freely missionaries and tablighs convert innocent Hindus and nobody even questions. Since Jaishankar cannot answer it like this, because of diplomatic reasons, I am doing it.
Rightly said. Hindu-Buddhist-Jains-Sikhs i.e (Dharmic religions) which are native to India are very tolerant to other religions. Other religions will first increase their population in a supposed Hindu country/region and throw out the native people like the case of Kashmiri pandits or will convert the majority of the population like Indonesia was first a Hindu-Buddhist Nation is now a Muslim majority.
Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism are great religions in their own right and should not be clubbed with Hinduism.

There's a difference between majority & majoritarian, where majoritarian is used as a negative term & majority is just ground reality.

British divided India into 11 pieces during their rule. Lastly in 1947, British divided India on the basis of religion and provided two pieces for Muslims. Actually, British wanted to give 8 pieces to Mulsims in 1947. 😂now British is enquiring whether India is religion centric . 😂😂😂BTW, I never heard the same question being asked to the leaders of 58 Christian majority nations who have Christian centric constitution and 53 + Islam majority nations have Islamic rule.

india was never 1 country man. Why are you lot so stupid. South Asia consisted of different empires and kingdom. Why did Sardar Patel go around and requested multiple Kingdoms to join Indian republic.

I don't know how long will India have to keep defending itself on this banal matter of secularism.
It is the tyranny of higher expectation
I would say do away with this Christian secularism to really send a message to the west that, we do not give two hoots of your opinion.
Only as long as we care to defend ourselves on this banal matter ! Once a self confident India signals that 'this is us, take it or leave it' ... such questions will stop ! Remember, not even 1 of the 56 Muslim countries dares let out a squeal at China's treatment of Uyghars ... because they know that China doesn't care 🤗
unless secular is taken out of indian constitution
Until abrahamics respect a non abrahamic religion and stop feeling it is a threat to them. So never
If countries based on intolerant theological religions can be tolerant. Why can’t a nation which is based on open architecture principles be mutually respectful!! Being Hindu makes India more open, respect for other religions and better for diversity, equality and inclusion. It is also a great place to do business as diversity provides steady demand for businesses!

Change is happening in our Mind. I'm a Christian by birth, but now i feels like Hindu. My surroundings , culture, customs, neighbors, influenced me. we were taught to be Christian teachings and our God is only right, also others are bad. Created a separation from the society 'we and they'. we don't know what's happening outside our religion, also we don't want to be, we couldn't until I started learning by myself. people wondering how can we do this. yes you can do this by staying in your religion or beliefs also supporting your culture, custom that was created thousand of years ago in your own land , by your Ancestors. its simple as that.
don't worry this "we are good, only god is great, others are not worthy" stems from Judaism of which christianity and islam are offshoots. The only difference is the people who started it knew it is wrong but others still believe it as god's word.
Bingo. If only other Abrahamic followers in India would realize this. No Hindu will EVER ask you to convert. In fact, it's more common for Hindus to tell people to stay in their own religion, but learn to appreciate and accept others faiths that are different from then. As you stated, Abrahamic faiths teach humans that their version of god is the only way and that causes tension with other humans. In a society where we have people who have since converted believing that Hinduism is bad, wrong ,etc. yet their ancestors were clearly Hindu and they are currently living on said Hindu land, it's highly disrespectful. There'd be no issue if these people moved to socieities that better reflect their values and beliefs- we all have a right to be happy and we are lucky to live in a world with many countries and socities to choose from. The issue with some non-Hindus, and let's be honest even Hindus, is that they want to live in a predominantly Hindu society, on land that is historically Hindu, etc and then complain and criticize Hindus, Hinduism, etc. That's like living in Israel and b/tching about hating Jews or living in Mecca and trashing Muslims everyday. Makes zero sense. Happy that while Hindus like me are also waking up so are other non-Hindus. Everyone can be happy and content in their own faiths, but also respect and cherish the religion of their ancestors and the majority of this country and land. It really shouldn't be this hard.
@@testtest-co9hk The Judeo-Christian view of God is the sole Truth, whether you like Judaism/Christianity or not.

I was born into a traditional Christian home. I have discovered that Hinduism is not a religion but a way of thinking - even though the majority of hindus dont see it that way.
But being a Christian, you can acknowledge and respect, feel affinity for, the Dharmic heritage, spirit, heart, soul and consciousness of India. I think this is a problem with many Christians, not all of course.
From rituals to philosophy to way of life, Dharma has everything... It's just that and people see it that way...
Hindutva is just an answer to Abrahamic r@d!c@ls... Unfortunately you couldn't see this truth...
It literally is a religion lol.a religion suggests you what you should believe and how to live. which is what hinduism does. just because its not oppressive like christianity etc doesn't make it not a religion.
I am a Christian and I have been visiting temples too paying my respect to God and Goddess on several occasions

Not that it matters to me so much, but maybe there is a section of orthodox hindus for whom it matters
Of course it is not wrong but India will lose its speciality i.e., India is the best democratic country in the world. Though we are hindu majoritarian, if we declare our country as a hindu country then the situation becomes like indirectly we are giving a chance to India's haters and some communities to raise voice and claim false things like speaking against true democracy and our true diversity. If some future political leaders become weak, then only we know that we are following true democracy and diversity but can't express it to other nations in proper manner.

Yes, that is what happens if India gets to close to west and becomes too dependent economically for trade and form security. India has inferiority complex when it comes to west. Indian education is influenced by west. Just look at China and far eastern countries they are proud of their culture and heritage.
He was being considerate to the bespectacled bum asking a silly question.
Hinduism has imparted the concept of pluralism to the West. Historically, the Western notion of a nation centered around the uniformity of factors such as race, religion, language, or skin color. The belief was that coexistence was only possible among those who shared these similarities. It seems ironic when Western nations suggest that embracing Hindu values leads to less pluralism. In reality, being a Hindu inherently embodies pluralism, and it requires a lack of understanding to perceive it otherwise.

Because India's history has had external influences through colonization and Mughal rulers unlike theirs. Also a bloody partition where India decided to remain secular. If you want to throw away all that, its for our own peril. Even India's constitution and laws are a British influenced Product, to deny that is to live in an imaginary fantasy.
Well said...100% true❤
Typical western viewpoint, trying to force you into apologize for being yourself. 😂
Quite right, in the west many think of Diwali being a Muslim festival lol
There has NEVER been a better foreign minister than Jaishanker for Bharat.
The soul of India is Hindu.
This country belongs to hindus, sikhs, Jains and buddhist first.
We have given equal rights to everyone doesn't mean this country is other religions homeland.
Plus this nation was divided before on religion but not this time.
Proud Hindu
You don't need to mention.. everybody has the right to be proud of their religion😊
@@samuelchristopher9966it is a need to mention😊
@@samuelchristopher9966 friend, being a proud Hindu wasn't considered "secular" until recently. the first criteria to become secular in India was abusing Hindu culture and heritage.
a famous muslim lyricst javed akhter himself in india said they are safe because of hindus becoz muslim countries dont have democracy .....democracy is intrisic to hindu philosophy
If muslim countries are not safe, then why is Akhtar still muslim?
@@mlg1279 religion and country are 2 different things
@@siddharth7191 Stating the obvious, are we?
Well Hinduism is the true identity of this country. We can't afford to lose it. Just in the name of appeasement politics.
They see Hindu as western religions. Even Indians don't know about it. 😂
Ya they will claim it was thier relegion ,😅

Is it Aryan invasion or aryan migration.
What's wrong being Hindu centric,, given that we have two islamic countries on East and West and one communist country on North.
Leftist will always be fine with islamic state and communist state
Loved the response ! 💯❤️ So bloody accurate. 💯

Proud to be Hindu...
Very well articulated Mr Jaishankar
Jaishankar ji he very great sir, very eloquent urbane and intelligent. The peacefulls in India sir are foreigners and our great Hindu nationalist government must do what is good for Bharat only. Jaishankar ji is like to PM Modi ji as Joseph Goebbels was to Hitler sir. God bless Hindu Nationalism sir!!
Perfectly presented sir ❤❤ love your duty as a foreign affairs minister❤❤
❤❤❤Dr JaiShankar....
the perfect answer!💎
Nailed it ❤ ; thanks Dr Jaishankar Subramanium
India should be hindu centric. We don't ask uk or America if its Christian centric.
This idiotic question deserves a reply accordingly…
The founding principles of partition ; existence of the Indian state; the presence of the community/religion & its historical significance ; the current statute of minorities in Pakistan & the State’s inherent nature- this determines India’s position throughout.
The sheer dissonance of the panel member’s question, designed by readers of WaPo & NYTs of the world reeking in ignorance, racism, xenophobia & a deep interest in cultural elimination of only surviving Pagan (NonAbrahamic) religion/culture/community of the world
is not surprising at all.
They don’t even deserve a straight answer, only contempt & disgust.
Not to mention these idiots wouldn’t know about Waqf board laws regarding owning & claiming lands or the massive state control of Hindu temples, direct interference of the state & the judiciary in Hindu rituals & their community funds- which not only violates all principles of secularism avowed by the philosophers but also played significant part in totally destroying the fabric of the Hindu society & pushing the major part of our communities, the lower strata, into abject poverty & out of Hindu social fold - a life without dignity (thanks to the immense mental poisoning of all of the different social groups).
There are huge challenges in the Indian society & in no part, has it just been the making of only 1 person/group or community.
Extremely well articulated!...besides being spot on with the point!
Every Time when any Western country leader, any country or press media host brings the topic of Indian Secularism, the Indian leaders or Indian diplomatic persons or minister must in these forums must ask or highlight a simple information below
A SECULAR DEMOCRATIC Country will have National Public Holidays for all faiths equally.
In India Diwali, Christmas & Ramzan are all celebrated as national Public holidays where the whole country celebrates.
In USA, EU, UK, ETC., its ONLY Christmas, GOOD FRIDAY, EASTER that gets a National Public Holidays. NO PUBLIC NATIONAL HOLIDAYS whatsoever for Diwali, Ramzan, etc., in any of the so-called WESTERN SECULAR DEMOCRACIES.
The Western Leaders & countries are NOT TRULY SECULAR DEMOCRATIC😢.
WHY IN WESTERN SECULAR DEMOCRACIES ONLY CHRISTIANS GETS ALL THE NATIONAL PUBLIC HOLIDAYS AND NONE FOR OTHER MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS 😢.
Isn't this Not an OUTRIGHT HYPOCRISY? 😅
Because of demographics, if US had 15% muslim population and 2.5% hindu population, you think there would be no holidays for Diwali and Ramzan? Even the US president clebrates Diwali in white house. Does our PM celebrate Christmas or Ramzan at his residence? I dont think current PM has even thrown an iftar.
Also we dont give any national holidays for jewish or Parsi festivals because their population is miniscule. So should jews and parsis also complain?
Our EAM pounced on the googly and hit it right out of the world !!
He dodged the question without dodging the question.
If Hinduism gives the Country authenticity, then todays India is dangerously Hindu-centric. How is the non-Hindu supposed to look at today’s Hindu-centric India and feel proud of its authenticity or even feel part of the family?
People sitting in Christian Caucasian majority countries half a world apart from Caucasus mountain and Jerusalem are questioning why India is Hindu centric?
in short MODI IS A MUSLIM APPEASER AND NOT A HINDU MAJORITARIAN
You have read reverse insanity?
@@Absence-999 the heart of a demon never has regret, even in death
Muslim should be glad about it and vote for him now
@@krugerrogue4661Mu-slims want power - not just appeasement
As hindu we are proud of our religion. And yes Hinduism is about respect to other religion as we all hindus do but sadly that has not been reciprocated by some of the non-hindu migrants to the country
Fantastic audio! Heard everything crystal clear.
India is land of Bharat. India will fully return.
That shows the hate of other religions in India. A non secular approach that is being hidden under sheeps clothing
He is a GEM of a foreign minister!!
Its well answered by EAM , Jaishankar ji to a probing question.Bharat has never ever Hindu centric , but all incisive is amply reflected on ground with people with different faiths freely practice with no fear or threatening.
This interviewer comments at 0:10, "India of today is different from the India of the Nehru Era." The Nehru Era ended in 1964. That was 60 years ago. How many of India's 1.4 Bn population of today remember the Nehru Era? The late PM, Mrs Indira Gandhi, started steering India out of the Nehruvian Policies. Nehru "Devotees" (Party Elders) in the Congress Party resented her initiatives. She stood on her ground. Her detractors in the party resented her so much that they expelled her from the party. What happened? Her supporters in the party, a new generation, also "expelled themselves" and followed her. This became the Congress (I) Party. The Old (Original) Party became "extinct" within a decade. Congress (I) became the "Survivor."
A milestone to be remembered is how quickly India broke away from the Nehruvian Foreign Policy (Yes Sir! You are right, and we are wrong!) just a little over a year after Nehru's demise (27 May 1964). In early August of 1965, the Pakistan Military attacked India. The successor to Mr Nehru, the Esteemed Mr Lal Bahadur Shastri stood up to his name. Bahadur = The Courageous Warrior. Mr Shastri mobilised the Indian Armed Forces and repelled the invasion. He did not stop at that. He wanted to teach a lesson to the Rank and File of the Pakistan Armed Forces. Indian army, in pursuit of the invaders, had reached the suburbs of Lahore (Pakistan). At that time, The Man in Command of Pakistan was Mr Mohammad Ayub Khan, who had seized power through a Coup d'Etat, promoted himself to the rank of Field Marshal and named himself the President of the Country. Mr Khan literally shit in his pants and beseeched his masters (LBJ of the US and Wilson of the UK) for intervention. LBJ phoned Mr Shastri and threatened with a Grain Embargo. Mr Shastri's answer was short and Bahadur-like. "Do it!" he said. In the end, "Field Marshall Mohammad Ayub Khan cum the President of Pakistan pleaded with India for a ceasefire and withdrawal. The Tashkent Agreement.
Of course! Nehruvian Foreign Policy went into oblivion and a Roaring India broke out from its cage. Of course, India has been Roaring ever since. It has been Indian India. India that is Bharat!
I hope this interviewer, whatever his name, will read this.
Being as an Indian, I'm concerned about human rights in Canada.
Totaky agree....And in US too....Black Lives Matter
The idea of India being bogus secular state starts in 1947 during the speech of Mountbatten. This is complete bogus and different from the ground reality of Hindu majority India.
and we celebrate his wife's lover's birthday as children's day. what a joke.
Hindu/india civilization already secular .
No need any western stamps.
But during emergency secular and socialist added forcefully which is against constitution.
The word hindu or sanatan centric is not an dangerous like other abrahamic religions. Hinduism itself is pluralistic we belive and revere in everyone and everything so another 2 or 3 wont hurt us.question itself is dumb one questioner should get educated on this one
If 57 peacefool countries can proudly say that they are so, why cant Bharatiyas proudly say we are HINDUS🚩
I'd like to express my gratitude be born in a hindu family.
I'm an agnostic but I love to read the books about hindu deities left behind by my grandparents and parents. they teach me a lot about life.
Sometimes my parents don't like some things I do but they still love me and respect me. it doesn't matter what caste or religion person I marry, I'm confident they will make peace with it. true hinduism is for all humanity.
How very knowledgeable , logical , to the point is FM Dr Jayshankar
Jaishankar ji he very great sir, very eloquent urbane and intelligent. The peacefulls in India sir are foreigners and our great Hindu nationalist government must do what is good for Bharat only. Jaishankar ji is like to PM Modi ji as Joseph Goebbels was to Hitler sir. God bless Hindu Nationalism sir!!
India was and is a Hindu nation and we are secular enough to let other religions communities to practice their faith
Well done 👍 After watching your conversations I have become more liberal , more assertive and authentic but more polite , civilized and more spiritual....Thank you sir
Amazing explanation, Jai Shankar truly reflected our concerns, and gave an wonderful answers 👏
Why tf should we apologize for being hindu? idk why are we expected to say sorry for our culture and religion. Yes, the majority is the Hindu population, not for the past 10 years but for the past thousands of years. The majority is hindu, and other minor religions survived because the majority are hindus. One religion which doesn't teach bigotry against people who do not follow your faith.
Secularism in india is not true secularism. Muslims are allowed to practice their own traditional practices by way of Shariyat laws, Sikhs are governed by SGPC , Hindus by VHP. In india secularism is for vote Bank Politics. There is no real secularism, where there is common law of marriage, inheritance etc.
That is the most well explained answer I’ve heard about Hindu majority. It makes so much sense. Dr Jaishankar is an amazing speaker
Beautifully answered!!!
The thing u need to understood first that 'Hindu' doesn't mean worship of several gods & idols etc it actually means way of living with peace & harmony among all regardless whatever is ur faith or god . Vivekananda once said that the great Indian Hindu philosopher " Hinduism tells us the way source of every rivers are diff but at end they meet at sea the essence of every religions is also same way diff but ultimately goal is supreme "
*West Europeans Majoritarian religion so is in middle east majoritarian religion why in one country one religion can't be majority*
S jaishankar is a true genius..
Positive attitude + Reality + Facts..
👍❤
Excellent reply to such an insinuating question! Hats off to Mr. Jaishankar.
