I believe no politician in India could speak as good as Ram is doing in this debate. Having one religion is monopolistic but accepting all the religions is diversity. And India should always be known for it's diversity.
Dude what you are saying sounds very good, I'm all in for religious diversity and freedom of whoever chooses to follow whatever, but it doesn’t necessarily work on practical terms. All religions cannot be true at the same time. Either there is no god, no true religion; or there is one. God cannot be at the same time have a son (christianity), have no son (Judaism and Islam), have 33 million manifestations (hinduism).
But You should know monotheism only aim is that every human being to believe in their God and it's directly a danger for Diversity . As you can see in Afganistan a particular religion has wiped out every other religion people who were once a majority like in Afganistan It was a Buddhist Majority Country with Hindu's and Sikhs population in Equal numbers
@@kamrulhasan3468 That's your idea of God. When you can't prove God, you can view it like anything. 33 or 33 millions. Actually God is not ultimate too acc to Hindus. So I guess that is better answer to Creator paradox.
@Mandeep Singh Morons like you should also understand two students who represented India in this program were from Kerala - Nalini Nair and Padmanabhan Gopinath.
@Mandeep Singh british and missionaries reached to bengal, andhra and Maharashtra also ..then why those states didnt become so educated(read/write), why the same missionarise couldnt standardized and made available to all the socio-economic groups of other states also...something fishy..
When he says the plight of the poor is divine and that they deserve it . Sounds kinda like a brahman boy justifying thousand years of oppression over lower castes .
As per shastras and lord Krishna himself in bhagawat Gita, it's not by birth but by one's actions and character (Gunas)that he belongs to any of the one varnas (Bhramin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra). Brahmin: predominantly focus on knowledge accumulation, seeking truth and dissemination, does not run behind money or hoard wealth Kshatriya : predominantly Defends people against invasion, wages war. Vaishya : focused on increasing wealth through trading Shudhra: who predominantly follows instructions from others and provides service Eg laborers, farmers, weavers, potters.. involved in lot of physical work What was fluid later became static due and by birth... We deviated from shastras and lord's teachings hence we have become a divided society
@@theoriginalrudeboy2916 I don't think he meant that, he meant by attributing our downfalls to our bad karma we find a way to find solace. I however believe he did not give the actual clarification that caste is not a traditional word just like the word India. In our Vedas and Bhagawat Gita it's called varnas into which people can be grouped Not based on birth but by their actions and Gunas( character).
@@sipp91 In Hinduism, athiests aren't traditionally killed unlike Abrahamic religions, unlike in Christianity and Islam where there are detailed ways of prosecuting an athiest. Even Buddha was an athiest frm a Hindu family only, who wasn't killed by any hindu and this all happened before the birth of Jesus, Christian and Muslim countries are still fighting among themselves as well as historically the same, inquisitions, crusades, forced conversions and invasions.

The guy is East Pakistani, a few years later India helped them to become the independent nation of Bangladesh. The Pakistani young man is now a Bangladeshi Seniors.
from this interview i can say that chritian guy is arrogant and sometimes saying non-sense. buddhist girl is ok. but sometimes she don't have proper answers. i really appreciate honesty of pakistani guy which nowadays we won't be able to see from pak. he seems somewhat secular. and hindu guy is really intellectual and answering fluently to almost every question...... but obviously it's just my opinion. everyone have different.
Being an Indian I'm so Proud that ram is as awesome as he is in this debate.. He SHREDS the Christian (probably british) ... On the other hand I'm quite disappointed by the one representing Pakistan because he was also representing Muslim/ Islamic idioligy and he wasn't quite able to explain anything
I was somewhat surprised to see someone from East Pakistan( which is now Bangladesh and my country as well). But then I was disappointed as he couldn't describe things with much clarity. Frankly speaking, I think focusing too much in rituals and not on the broader facts of wisdom has made him a bit less intellectual, and such is the case for many other people of this region.
I live how at 1-2 places the Muslim guy fails to get his point across, even when he has a valid point, and the Hindu guy is able to explain his views, coz well, living with all religions in India, I’m pretty sure he had a well enough knowledge of them too.
The girl was sixteen only. The boy from Pakistan was also very young . Besides, language could also be a barrier. The Indian youth was undoubtedly and wonderfully answered not only for himself but also for those two.

I think all eastern religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, etc do not fit in the definition of religion in my opinion. "Dharma" is the right word to categorize them. Indians what do you think?
hindus accept science and cope with the present, modify their norms. its on them who understand... God won't do anything, he'll show u a path, the choice is yours. but can't let the 4000 year old tradition, culture and scriptures just die... 50% hindus are atheist but they aren't stoned for atheism here... peace always wanted never ever tried to go out of india and capture the world but.... leave it let it end... no one's less stubborn to listen others here, including me
America and the Western world were VERY fearful or obsessed with Communism.!!! I wonder why... the discussion keeps veering towards communism all the time 😳
It's something that affects us to this day . Part of it is because Communism was sort of code for anything the right wing did not like such as civil rights. You see it even today when they yell communism , socialism to anything they don't like. But also remember that the US and the Soviets were the 2 superpowers in those days .
Well, in my country in Latin American, the most horrible time in our history was the terrorism and they were communist. We’re afraid of communist people. Now a communist won the presidential elections. My country will be dead in a couple of years.
Don't you know free healthcare is communist and Joe Biden is radical socialist. And when say Nordics and most world has this it's just high tax but in us if you say this you're communist

Ha ha m Indian muslim 😂😂 nd as expected I find my brother is too amazing with his skills in this video he is able to define each and everything I don't know about religion much but Indians are best and also they prove that
the indian guy was the smartest; but he mentioned that indians never socially question their miserable plight because they believe they deserve it... i think that's where the problem lies... It hinders progress in a huge way. This mentality is what taken advantage of by religious groups be it any in india. On that note, the Swiss guy was just not that eloquent, the others were just fine.
One must remember that ,it was the mindset that came out of 200 years of colonial rule ( after our country was squeezed out for everything it could offer) and after many centuries of devastating Islamic invasion…Accepting that life is not perfect helps one avoid an attitude of entitlement and self pity.Nowhere to Hindu scriptures say that do not work hard to better oneself.
I think he meant more like in Hinduism we think that our situation (successful or not) is a result of our actions. We are taught not to work with the result in mind, and just focus on making our karma good. It is arguable that good actions would translate in success in this lifetime or the next (good karma begets good karma)
@@vasudhasharma5532 no, he was justifying the fact that communism cannot spread in india because of the indian religion (and he hugely generalised it by saying hindu religion, but okay) as people will accept their fate despite the social factors against them (economically and socially) because it's what their religion says. They will never question their social positioning. It also points to the still, sadly, prevalant cast system which further solidifies one's social standing and reiterates that you are supposed to only be in this class and not succeed further as that's how we are conditioned. Now, he can justify it because he was in a position of privilege, coming from the upper cast. In fact, he is using these problematic tenets in the religion to say that since we have these values, we can oppose communism.
@@aleenascaria6851 I was eluding to the fact where you said ‘it’s what their religion says’ …. The thing the religion actually says is that karma and result of karma and how we shouldn’t focus on the result. And currently I rarely see caste playing a role in society even in rural places where I am from. It is used max for arrange marriages, but even for that they usually now advocate for ‘caste no bar’, as in they don’t want the caste to be a deciding factor.
I think what he said is true. As now we all r facing environmental challenges. Whatever we r suffering is what we sown we deserve of our ignorance, our sense of superiority, our arrogance, our negligence. We believe that we hv controlled nature by building dams, cutting the heart of mountains to build road. Able to grow food in most adverse natural condition and more than ever. But after the period of time we come to know that our sense of greatness and achievements r just our foolishness. We r able to grow so much of food with the help of all pesticides nd fertilizer or those lab produced seeds. But know we see after 30yrs that they all r the causes of our poor health, our lands r becoming barren due to their use. Our rivers r turning toxic even the food we eat r not as healthy nd beneficial as we think it might be. And now we want to grow our like we use to grow 40yrs back we all want everything organic, no GMO seeds plant based food. Same with plastic when we made it we thought it make so many things easy now it is choking us. We want to get rid of our own creation one we believed is best. So we r responsible 4 our current situation. Hindu dharma is not just few thousands years old it is older than time. It survive bcuz it believe in change. But it also says everything is like a cycle form where we started we reach back there. It is all bcuz after reaching the peak we lose our visionary mindset and than our downfall started nd we reached where we began everything. It is a way of living. It is as much spiritual nd scientific at same time. In sanatan dharma trees and rivers r worshipped. For that we need to plant trees nd save rivers. We worship animals, birds ,even the smallest creature bcuz and for that we need them. Over the period of time sanatan dharma understood that everything has it's importance nd place in this life cycle. If we tried to change it or remove it . It completely disbalance the whole system. Let's take an ex. To get beautiful plush green grass lawns we started using different kinds of pesticides that eat grass or affect grass growth. But we forget that those insects might be eat by small lady bugs, butterflies which helps to grow beautiful meadows nd daffodils. But our single change made all these things died and in end we hv only green glasses but no plants nd flowers or butterflies or fire flies. In longer term we see how our action effects everything. We need to see long term outcomes of our action.
Wow just wow the "Hinduism is assimilative, elastic and all comphrehensive" and then "objective of a Hindu is to obtain onness with reality and truth. God is a means the reality and truth is an end" Man these jewels from this person is much more than any Godman I have ever herd.
He read scriptures very well. Go through scriptures please. This is the weakness every Indian have and others don't qualified exploit, mislead in the name of secularism

That raises more questions than answers. I wish these experts actually talked clearly when imparting their knowledge. Usually it seems they are deliberately vague in order to look more intelligent.

While Islam is a common feature in both geographies , it would be absurd to expect a Bangladeshi to know the intricacies of the political sphere in the Middle East which is nowhere near it.
When is equality measured side by side? Men and women are separated, what if someone stared at your family? and focus is God it is not looking at other people or being distracted.
Women also pray in mosques together, but if men and women were to pray side by side and in front/behind each other, don't you think they'd get distracted by each other? Its a known fact that men especially tend to look at women and admire their bodies, so wouldn't having them pray together lead to distractions?

Ram 12:00 to 12:35 have answered a nearly 2-decade old question for me. I was in India around 2003. Delhi to be exact. I was with a CEO of a big local pharmaceutical company. He is a PhD, educated both in India's top university and in the US of A. We were in a chauffeured and very comfortable Toyota Camry, air-conditioned and all, driving through the busy streets of Delhi. The temperature was around 40 celsius or there and thereabout, and I see many homeless people laying down by the roadside - Many without shelters. I asked - "Dr I wonder if some of these folks could actually die from this heat?" and he nonchalant says - "Yes". I asked if that is a concern for him and I was shocked to hear a rather dismissive - "not much because everyone has a place in the universe" I did not continue the discussion as I felt uncomfortable and I sensed he too felt like not talking about it but that statement lingered in my mind until this video...I think good old ol' Ram finally answers it.
Actually that comes from concept of karma that what we have is result of our karm(deeds) in past life or timr and what we will have in future will be result of our present deeds
And Ram is truthful too without any hesitation whether it shows his religion in bad light or not. Hallmark of a true Hindu is to continue to seek and question. Others act like they have the truth.
Some fellows definitely gonna understand it in a wrong way just like many poor people or I say poor Hindus think that if they are poor it's because of their Karma (yes of course it is) and they CAN'T DO anything to rise above from this poverty.
You with full determination fought poverty and now you are a established businessman, rich, literate it's also because of your Karma. You destroyed your poverty You destroyed your rich successful life You are destroying someone weather they deserve it or not Someone else is destroying you weather you deserve it or not Everything is because of your past lives Karma and this cycle has no ends, cycle of life and death has no ends Until and unless you become a seeker of truth.
I think the Hindus are watching this Video more than any other religion. I just hope and pray that we not only support our religion virtually but also by inculcating the teachings of our religion in our daily lives.

Very interesting and educative debate on religion. The conclusion i make from this discussion is that, Religion exist for the good of Humanity, if it becomes anything other than goodness, then it cease to be religion but something else.
Due to early links with atheism, socialism let alone communism never thrived in Pakistan due to religion, bangladesh where he was from had slightly more success with socialism but that was only after a bloody independence. Religion has been extremely important in most of Pakistan's history, and to this day far more people are turning religious then they are turning atheist in Pakistan. So he was pretty spot on when he said that there was no threat of communism for another 50 years because of the level of religiousness in Pakistan. It's not just the Muslims, Hindus and christians are very religious in Pakistan, oftentimes more so. His point was that you cannot comprehend the level of religiousness in Pakistan.
Ram was amazing so smart. Smarter than any Filipino but because there is no Filipino there isn't much views because Indians don't need this to feel good about themselves.
@Harsh _ “India was looted way more than philippines still philippines have nothing of their own” what??? Doesn’t matter if you were looted more than us, we still suffered greatly. Colonization & abuses by the Spanish, Genocide & betrayed by the United States, harsh Japanese occupation, and a bunch of others. Its like saying you were punched more than I was and somehow that removes the fact that I was also punched. The Philippines have something of their own, it’s peoples, languages & traditions. Filipinos have contributed to the world, through inventing games like yo-yo to the medical area like the medical incubator. Yes India invented lots of things more than my country, but that doesn’t remove the fact that we have contributed to many things. “Their language has English script, name based on Spanish ruler and culture by Christians.” That shows the fact that we’ve been colonized for centuries, adopting a foreign script doesn’t make a language a lesser valued one. The name Philippines isn’t changed, so what? What’s the point of changing it’s name? So that the government spends more money into changing names of establishments and a bunch of other things with the name Philippines on it instead of focusing on poverty and more important matters in our country? So what if we are majority Christian? What does that even imply? Christianity isn’t just for the white folks or the western folks, Christianity was present in North Africa, the Middle East (Before Islam arrives, it still is present there), Christian communities in the Steppes/Central Asia, and into parts of western China. Christianity has always been a religion of Europeans, Jews, Nubians, Ethiopians, North Africans, Assyrians, Armenians, Georgians, etc... and has since expanded from those previous historical areas where Christianity was rampant.
@Harsh _ Was* influenced by the Indian language. That has changed due to colonization by the Spanish for 3 centuries. We were not just Hindus back then, we were animists AND Hindus AND Buddhists. We had our pantheons that were inspired by Hinduism and pantheons that weren’t. This depended on the ethnic groups, tribes & kingdoms. Also we didn’t speak ONLY Sanskrit either, we spoke old Malay, and bunch of other languages in the Philippine Archipelagos. “We retained our original culture” and that also has changed. Cultures of peoples from different countries have either changed a little bit or drastically. Even if you’ve retained it, it still has changed even by a little bit. Majority of Filipinos do not have their original cultures & practices, some tribes still do but not majority. To say the Philippines didn’t have any is stupidly ignorant. You can see traces of the original culture in the present culture that majority of Filipinos have. We still have indigenous ancient scripts still alive and some being revived after the Latin script became more popular for the natives back then. We still have celebrations that our ancestors practiced (though a little different).
Oh. This isn't about feeling good his concepts are clear and that's what attracts people. I am sorry i really don't know about Phillipines the socio economic or culture things but i know India and really it's something how it turned out to be even after it was attacked by Portugese moughal and British

Wow!! Whoever organized these debates must definitely bring them back. These are the kind of debates that we need and let the youth speak out their minds of the problems that the world is facing today.
Raam is very Eloquent and Prompt in Replying. Rasool is also good and is a bit secular it seems bcz at one time he agreed upon forming a new religion by joining imp things from each religion, which is something a Devout Muslim will never agree upon bcz that man thinks there can be no alteration to revealed word of God and Qur'aan is Last and Final word of God. Mathina seemed less fluent in English but She was not bad as well. The Christian guy Seemed a bit Arrogant in beginning but later he also participated decently. So, Overall this was an Amazing Discussion and I think today u can't really have such a Peaceful discussion so easily but on the Contrary they did it in 1954 that's really Amazing !
Ram would be so proud to see many religions living peacefully in India today😊... Not as hindus, muslims, christians, buddhists, sikhs etc but as Indians🇮🇳🇮🇳

What's the point in doubling literacy when religious intolerance is slowly taking us backwards? The Hindu/Muslim divide has only deepened. So what use education?
The thing which bugs me the most about today's world is that in India grown adult men can't have organised debates and discussions without cussing, disrespecting , or mocking someone they disagree with. Like stop already, speak when its your turn (like they teach in kindergarden, remember?) and for god's sake dont let your emotions get the better of you.
Exactly! Debates are just group discussion where you present your point of view while listening and understanding what others have to say. If you Don't wanna listen and learn what value they have to add in discussion then look in the mirror and keep yapping.
I so agree. There is so much intolerance and abuse. Even in this youtube comments you can see people cussing other religion or being pompous instead of appreciating the debaters.
wow..so nice to see this. The best part of this discussion is the decency of the panel member. When a panel member questions another, the other decently respond, i don't think that happens in these days of trolls :) even in a live panel discussion. Aslo can't imagine discussion on religion these days, will result in bloodbath :) . Ram brings good points on Hinduism, I like the way Vietnam girl puts her questions, she is so direct, i like that :) . But all are so brilliant, very knowledgeable and articulate.
The level and etiquette of debate on this channel is amazing. Doesn’t exist anymore in this world. Indian speakers like Gopi and Ram are brilliant - so proud of them😊🙏
Was Nepal really so backward that it could not participate in such students exchanges and intellectual debates back then? Just look at our neighbor India. Inspite of centuries of colonial oppression, the Indians really have always been an important part of the world intellectualls dominating every such debates with their articular, crisp expression of themselves immediately after just becoming independent. I can only feel for Nepal and dear Nepalis who are still deprived of a good education system that delimits them from the shackles of narrow mindedness regarding passing of exams as the only objectives of school as well as higher education.
Hinduism, as Ram mentioned, is very flexible and has evolved over the generations. That's what makes it different from any other religion. I'd rather call it a democratic religion. Even the rituals or beliefs are not mandatory or compulsory to the followers. People in Hinduism even can be atheists. Hinduism respects individual's choices and preferences. Unlike other religions, you'd never find a Hindu preacher trying to convert anyone into Hinduism as it's against the fundamental beliefs of Hinduism. Hinduism respects and honour all religions. You'd find many Hindu people celebrating other religion's festivals as well. You may find some Hindus visiting the church, mosque, gurudwaras or any other religious places for that purpose. That's how in India, all the religions are prospering and living happily together. In a nutshell, Hinduism is a guide to living an idealistic, happy and prosperous life. It's a lifestyle than a religion.
So young, yet well informed. They were much smarter then than we are today with all the technology at our disposal. So diplomatic and respectful of each other too which we lack a great deal today.
After almost 6 decades, we are so advanced...
Today's TV debates:
*shouting *loud *abusive *disrespectful
True but in those days, violence and riots were rampant and these people were a minuscule minority representing a large mass of uneducated population !
dont dwell on the negatives, every thing has a good and bad side. overall technology has done more good, hence we are having this debate.

I believe no politician in India could speak as good as Ram is doing in this debate. Having one religion is monopolistic but accepting all the religions is diversity.
And India should always be known for it's diversity.
You haven't met many politicians then.

Dude what you are saying sounds very good, I'm all in for religious diversity and freedom of whoever chooses to follow whatever, but it doesn’t necessarily work on practical terms.
All religions cannot be true at the same time. Either there is no god, no true religion; or there is one. God cannot be at the same time have a son (christianity), have no son (Judaism and Islam), have 33 million manifestations (hinduism).
But You should know monotheism only aim is that every human being to believe in their God and it's directly a danger for Diversity .

Ram is very sharp. He hit the nail on the head between the correlation of communism and literacy by giving the example of Travancore area in India.

India has seen so much invasion and diversity, that that experience has given us a lot of knowledge.
And now days people doing what not to pull down indians
True
Yeah,same thing i was wondering.
Their clarity is astounding
Ram was super...his counter questions and reasoning and explanation of Hinduism was superb...
When he says the plight of the poor is divine and that they deserve it . Sounds kinda like a brahman boy justifying thousand years of oppression over lower castes .
With the assumption that Brahmins were rich.
@@theoriginalrudeboy2916 vaishyas are the rich ones, Brahmins are the one with the most knowledge - get your facts right.
As per shastras and lord Krishna himself in bhagawat Gita, it's not by birth but by one's actions and character (Gunas)that he belongs to any of the one varnas (Bhramin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra). Brahmin: predominantly focus on knowledge accumulation, seeking truth and dissemination, does not run behind money or hoard wealth
Kshatriya : predominantly Defends people against invasion, wages war.
Vaishya : focused on increasing wealth through trading
Shudhra: who predominantly follows instructions from others and provides service Eg laborers, farmers, weavers, potters.. involved in lot of physical work
What was fluid later became static due and by birth... We deviated from shastras and lord's teachings hence we have become a divided society
@@theoriginalrudeboy2916 I don't think he meant that, he meant by attributing our downfalls to our bad karma we find a way to find solace.
I however believe he did not give the actual clarification that caste is not a traditional word just like the word India. In our Vedas and Bhagawat Gita it's called varnas into which people can be grouped Not based on birth but by their actions and Gunas( character).
Everyone : God! is ours.
*Ram : God is just a means, we believe in reality and truth.*
Thats because Ram is most likely an atheist

Being an Indian I'm so Proud that ram is as awesome as he is in this debate.. He SHREDS the Christian (probably british) ...
On the other hand I'm quite disappointed by the one representing Pakistan because he was also representing Muslim/ Islamic idioligy and he wasn't quite able to explain anything
I was somewhat surprised to see someone from East Pakistan( which is now Bangladesh and my country as well). But then I was disappointed as he couldn't describe things with much clarity. Frankly speaking, I think focusing too much in rituals and not on the broader facts of wisdom has made him a bit less intellectual, and such is the case for many other people of this region.
honestly lolz... you mean you cant beat pakistan no more...
I live how at 1-2 places the Muslim guy fails to get his point across, even when he has a valid point, and the Hindu guy is able to explain his views, coz well, living with all religions in India, I’m pretty sure he had a well enough knowledge of them too.

America and the Western world were VERY fearful or obsessed with Communism.!!! I wonder why... the discussion keeps veering towards communism all the time 😳
It's something that affects us to this day . Part of it is because Communism was sort of code for anything the right wing did not like such as civil rights. You see it even today when they yell communism , socialism to anything they don't like.
But also remember that the US and the Soviets were the 2 superpowers in those days .
Well, in my country in Latin American, the most horrible time in our history was the terrorism and they were communist. We’re afraid of communist people. Now a communist won the presidential elections. My country will be dead in a couple of years.

the indian guy was the smartest; but he mentioned that indians never socially question their miserable plight because they believe they deserve it... i think that's where the problem lies... It hinders progress in a huge way. This mentality is what taken advantage of by religious groups be it any in india. On that note, the Swiss guy was just not that eloquent, the others were just fine.
One must remember that ,it was the mindset that came out of 200 years of colonial rule ( after our country was squeezed out for everything it could offer) and after many centuries of devastating Islamic invasion…Accepting that life is not perfect helps one avoid an attitude of entitlement and self pity.Nowhere to Hindu scriptures say that do not work hard to better oneself.
I think he meant more like in Hinduism we think that our situation (successful or not) is a result of our actions. We are taught not to work with the result in mind, and just focus on making our karma good.
It is arguable that good actions would translate in success in this lifetime or the next (good karma begets good karma)
@@vasudhasharma5532 no, he was justifying the fact that communism cannot spread in india because of the indian religion (and he hugely generalised it by saying hindu religion, but okay) as people will accept their fate despite the social factors against them (economically and socially) because it's what their religion says. They will never question their social positioning. It also points to the still, sadly, prevalant cast system which further solidifies one's social standing and reiterates that you are supposed to only be in this class and not succeed further as that's how we are conditioned. Now, he can justify it because he was in a position of privilege, coming from the upper cast. In fact, he is using these problematic tenets in the religion to say that since we have these values, we can oppose communism.
@@aleenascaria6851 I was eluding to the fact where you said ‘it’s what their religion says’ …. The thing the religion actually says is that karma and result of karma and how we shouldn’t focus on the result.
And currently I rarely see caste playing a role in society even in rural places where I am from. It is used max for arrange marriages, but even for that they usually now advocate for ‘caste no bar’, as in they don’t want the caste to be a deciding factor.
I think what he said is true. As now we all r facing environmental challenges. Whatever we r suffering is what we sown we deserve of our ignorance, our sense of superiority, our arrogance, our negligence. We believe that we hv controlled nature by building dams, cutting the heart of mountains to build road. Able to grow food in most adverse natural condition and more than ever. But after the period of time we come to know that our sense of greatness and achievements r just our foolishness. We r able to grow so much of food with the help of all pesticides nd fertilizer or those lab produced seeds. But know we see after 30yrs that they all r the causes of our poor health, our lands r becoming barren due to their use. Our rivers r turning toxic even the food we eat r not as healthy nd beneficial as we think it might be. And now we want to grow our like we use to grow 40yrs back we all want everything organic, no GMO seeds plant based food. Same with plastic when we made it we thought it make so many things easy now it is choking us. We want to get rid of our own creation one we believed is best. So we r responsible 4 our current situation. Hindu dharma is not just few thousands years old it is older than time. It survive bcuz it believe in change. But it also says everything is like a cycle form where we started we reach back there. It is all bcuz after reaching the peak we lose our visionary mindset and than our downfall started nd we reached where we began everything. It is a way of living. It is as much spiritual nd scientific at same time. In sanatan dharma trees and rivers r worshipped. For that we need to plant trees nd save rivers. We worship animals, birds ,even the smallest creature bcuz and for that we need them. Over the period of time sanatan dharma understood that everything has it's importance nd place in this life cycle. If we tried to change it or remove it . It completely disbalance the whole system. Let's take an ex. To get beautiful plush green grass lawns we started using different kinds of pesticides that eat grass or affect grass growth. But we forget that those insects might be eat by small lady bugs, butterflies which helps to grow beautiful meadows nd daffodils. But our single change made all these things died and in end we hv only green glasses but no plants nd flowers or butterflies or fire flies. In longer term we see how our action effects everything. We need to see long term outcomes of our action.

IIT students of India might be disagree with you there best of the best got selected
There are many more like him in India , just need to look at right places.
Every hindu house has a person like this
India is full of intellectuals like Ram.
The Swiss guy's argument was essentially, *But we are richer, so Christianity must be better* ahem.. recency bias..

LMAO🤣🤣
Lol
Wonder why he doesn't mention many Christian sub Sahara african countries

@Hinata hyuga Lol you mean if I go and kill someone still I didn't commit any sin
@Hinata hyuga Why God die for our sins. Just because we can go heaven and enjoy our after life.
i started watching these videos ysterday and in almost every debate the indians have caught me off guard, Ram here seemed so smooth with his arguments
Yeah
And his clarity on these subjects as difficult as Hindu religion which in itself is a Ocean was amazing
I wish the speaker from Thailand to be good bcoz Buddhism is much more to explain right at the introduction. And it is not a religion, it's a philosophy.
I loved the speaker from india though. Really good.
felt same ... btw i am a hindu ... want to say one thing buddism is not the philosophy it is a way (scientific) to the ultimate truth
Being an indian and hindu.....I need not her to understand the intricacies of Buddhism !!
Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, and some such religions are not religions, it's wrong to call it a religion, these are called Dharma, or the way of life. Religion are what is Christianity, etc is
@Winter Bear she was less fluent with english not "less edcuated" in buddhism
@Supernoone dude, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism aren't religion. They're more of a philosophy
4:56 Christian: son of God came to earth to bring salvation
Hindu: Here God himself arived💪
That was frikin lethal
That makes no sense.
@@ellagardener538 That does make sense...just need to understand it
When we christian say Son of God came to earth, it also means that God himself took a form of human and came on earth as Son of God.
This is a fundamental principle of Holy Trinity.
@@malaniyadmello2225 Same concept with "Avatar" in hinduism..
I want debates to happen like this. Ram is awesome 👍
Hinduism is the very first religion and Ram showed that so smoothly...I-
India has a lot of culture, tradition, and religion that spread worldwide. India could be a country with lot of influences, but have failed due to other problems they have.
I agree
The problems that were put on us by the Europeans and Islamics, you mean? We were among the world leaders for millennia until certain groups (euros and muslims) decided that conquest was better than advancement. We are still trying to recover from that. But, ours is an eternal philosophy, so we can handle mistakes from younger children like the Muslims and Christians.
@@quiet7632 and before the europeans and islamics, you were such a thriving nation? you had 'untouchability' being practised in your country for centuries...you didn't even share a meal with us Muslims and the Dalits....
@@qurratulainzehra8760 Untouchability was because of social division not religious division, and social division is present in nearly each and every society in today's world as well....
@@qurratulainzehra8760 the concept of untouchability is spread by Britishers amongst the Hindus so that they can not be United and fight with each other, and that's the best way for Britishers to rule over India
The woman interviewing seems a bit ignorant . At 16:48 she asks the representative from Bangladesh about the middle east . While Islam is a common feature in both geographies , it would be absurd to expect a Bangladeshi to know the intricacies of the political sphere in the Middle East which is nowhere near it.
Bro at that time there was no known name *Bangladesh*
He was from East Pakistan
East Pakistan was the result, a spin off, of the Khilafati movement from Turkey. So the linkage is there.
I like how the Muslim guy brought up equality in Mosques but women are not allowed to pray alongside men in Mosques. So equality only for men?
When is equality measured side by side? Men and women are separated, what if someone stared at your family? and focus is God it is not looking at other people or being distracted.
Men and women are equal but are not the same i.e. biological
Women can pray in any mosque, don't spread lies if you are not knowledgable enough.
Women also pray in mosques together, but if men and women were to pray side by side and in front/behind each other, don't you think they'd get distracted by each other? Its a known fact that men especially tend to look at women and admire their bodies, so wouldn't having them pray together lead to distractions?
@@AAA-vf2qr we follow the way of the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him at that time men and women prayed in the same place, and prayed separately. In a household we can pray with each other.
Ram 12:00 to 12:35 have answered a nearly 2-decade old question for me. I was in India around 2003. Delhi to be exact. I was with a CEO of a big local pharmaceutical company. He is a PhD, educated both in India's top university and in the US of A. We were in a chauffeured and very comfortable Toyota Camry, air-conditioned and all, driving through the busy streets of Delhi.
The temperature was around 40 celsius or there and thereabout, and I see many homeless people laying down by the roadside - Many without shelters. I asked - "Dr I wonder if some of these folks could actually die from this heat?" and he nonchalant says - "Yes". I asked if that is a concern for him and I was shocked to hear a rather dismissive - "not much because everyone has a place in the universe"
I did not continue the discussion as I felt uncomfortable and I sensed he too felt like not talking about it but that statement lingered in my mind until this video...I think good old ol' Ram finally answers it.
Actually that comes from concept of karma that what we have is result of our karm(deeds) in past life or timr and what we will have in future will be result of our present deeds
And Ram is truthful too without any hesitation whether it shows his religion in bad light or not. Hallmark of a true Hindu is to continue to seek and question. Others act like they have the truth.
Some fellows definitely gonna understand it in a wrong way just like many poor people or I say poor Hindus think that if they are poor it's because of their Karma (yes of course it is) and they CAN'T DO anything to rise above from this poverty.
You with full determination fought poverty and now you are a established businessman, rich, literate it's also because of your Karma.
You destroyed your poverty
You destroyed your rich successful life
You are destroying someone weather they deserve it or not
Someone else is destroying you weather you deserve it or not
Everything is because of your past lives Karma and this cycle has no ends, cycle of life and death has no ends
Until and unless you become a seeker of truth.
That's exactly why they were invaded again and again and so easily
//Hinduism which i suppose include all religions, all religions are just the stages of hinduism. //
Wowww… Very cleverly articulated:)
That's what it really is.
Uhh, no. Stop the cap, Hinduism is Hinduism
Mark Twain once said- "there's no thought in the world that hasn't been thought of considered under Hinduism...".
Sounds like your point also similar.
@@ryanmarlin2974 Hinduism contains Buddhism , Sikhism , Jainism too and has heavily influenced Taoism also.
@@goof.7874 no, Hinduism contains none of those. It just contains Hinduism
I think the Hindus are watching this Video more than any other religion. I just hope and pray that we not only support our religion virtually but also by inculcating the teachings of our religion in our daily lives.
@Winter Bear well that has not happened until now and will not happen in coming times either .
Rest assured.
@Winter Bear just like what Christianity and pislam are doing today

Very interesting and educative debate on religion. The conclusion i make from this discussion is that, Religion exist for the good of Humanity, if it becomes anything other than goodness, then it cease to be religion but something else.
God exists
Wow loved your perspective of seeing things ... Your conclusion is quite impressive :)
The definition of 'good' varies from religion to religion.
I am ashamed of not being able to speak like ram ❤️
So this happened only 7 years after our Independence...... 🇮🇳

This is the best thing the youtube algorithm gods have given me since Covid started.
Excellent discussion! I thank UA-cam for getting this on my radar today. 😆👏👍
Pakistani guy after every two sentence
"Pakistan is very religious country.."
@Black Shadow You should watch video again, or maybe visit an ENT clinic..
Due to early links with atheism, socialism let alone communism never thrived in Pakistan due to religion, bangladesh where he was from had slightly more success with socialism but that was only after a bloody independence. Religion has been extremely important in most of Pakistan's history, and to this day far more people are turning religious then they are turning atheist in Pakistan. So he was pretty spot on when he said that there was no threat of communism for another 50 years because of the level of religiousness in Pakistan. It's not just the Muslims, Hindus and christians are very religious in Pakistan, oftentimes more so. His point was that you cannot comprehend the level of religiousness in Pakistan.

Ram was amazing so smart. Smarter than any Filipino but because there is no Filipino there isn't much views because Indians don't need this to feel good about themselves.
@Harsh _ wtf? when did Filipinos start speaking Sanskrit.....stop disgracing our culture
@Harsh _ “India was looted way more than philippines still philippines have nothing of their own” what???
Doesn’t matter if you were looted more than us, we still suffered greatly. Colonization & abuses by the Spanish, Genocide & betrayed by the United States, harsh Japanese occupation, and a bunch of others. Its like saying you were punched more than I was and somehow that removes the fact that I was also punched.
The Philippines have something of their own, it’s peoples, languages & traditions. Filipinos have contributed to the world, through inventing games like yo-yo to the medical area like the medical incubator. Yes India invented lots of things more than my country, but that doesn’t remove the fact that we have contributed to many things.
“Their language has English script, name based on Spanish ruler and culture by Christians.” That shows the fact that we’ve been colonized for centuries, adopting a foreign script doesn’t make a language a lesser valued one. The name Philippines isn’t changed, so what? What’s the point of changing it’s name? So that the government spends more money into changing names of establishments and a bunch of other things with the name Philippines on it instead of focusing on poverty and more important matters in our country? So what if we are majority Christian? What does that even imply? Christianity isn’t just for the white folks or the western folks, Christianity was present in North Africa, the Middle East (Before Islam arrives, it still is present there), Christian communities in the Steppes/Central Asia, and into parts of western China. Christianity has always been a religion of Europeans, Jews, Nubians, Ethiopians, North Africans, Assyrians, Armenians, Georgians, etc... and has since expanded from those previous historical areas where Christianity was rampant.
@Harsh _ Was* influenced by the Indian language. That has changed due to colonization by the Spanish for 3 centuries. We were not just Hindus back then, we were animists AND Hindus AND Buddhists. We had our pantheons that were inspired by Hinduism and pantheons that weren’t. This depended on the ethnic groups, tribes & kingdoms. Also we didn’t speak ONLY Sanskrit either, we spoke old Malay, and bunch of other languages in the Philippine Archipelagos.
“We retained our original culture” and that also has changed. Cultures of peoples from different countries have either changed a little bit or drastically. Even if you’ve retained it, it still has changed even by a little bit. Majority of Filipinos do not have their original cultures & practices, some tribes still do but not majority. To say the Philippines didn’t have any is stupidly ignorant. You can see traces of the original culture in the present culture that majority of Filipinos have. We still have indigenous ancient scripts still alive and some being revived after the Latin script became more popular for the natives back then. We still have celebrations that our ancestors practiced (though a little different).
Oh. This isn't about feeling good his concepts are clear and that's what attracts people. I am sorry i really don't know about Phillipines the socio economic or culture things but i know India and really it's something how it turned out to be even after it was attacked by Portugese moughal and British
Props to the pakistani (now Bangladeshi) guy for being blatantly honest and accept the downsides of his own countries, you wouldn't see anyone doing it nowadays!
"God is a means" what a statement by Ram ji ❤️
Wow!! Whoever organized these debates must definitely bring them back. These are the kind of debates that we need and let the youth speak out their minds of the problems that the world is facing today.
Amazing Indian guy, proud of u sir...most comprehensive for sure
So much tolerance, so much respect for each other & at the same time so much knowledge.. That's how people should debate ❤
From Mizoram, India.
Raam is very Eloquent and Prompt in Replying.
Rasool is also good and is a bit secular it seems bcz at one time he agreed upon forming a new religion by joining imp things from each religion, which is something a Devout Muslim will never agree upon bcz that man thinks there can be no alteration to revealed word of God and Qur'aan is Last and Final word of God.
Mathina seemed less fluent in English but She was not bad as well.
The Christian guy Seemed a bit Arrogant in beginning but later he also participated decently.
So, Overall this was an Amazing Discussion and I think today u can't really have such a Peaceful discussion so easily but on the Contrary they did it in 1954 that's really Amazing !
That's not secular. That's just I-slam 2.0 with the same aim of monotheism and monopoly.
Ram would be so proud to see many religions living peacefully in India today😊... Not as hindus, muslims, christians, buddhists, sikhs etc but as Indians🇮🇳🇮🇳
I absolutely love these talks. As always, India is beautifully represented with thoughtful speakers, but the other debaters are also pretty good. I only wish there were more constructive debates like these in today's day and time. I would love to listen, and even take part in these.
Rasool in whole debate: **Our people are very religious minded**
Yeah everyone noticed.

The thing which bugs me the most about today's world is that in India grown adult men can't have organised debates and discussions without cussing, disrespecting , or mocking someone they disagree with. Like stop already, speak when its your turn (like they teach in kindergarden, remember?) and for god's sake dont let your emotions get the better of you.
Exactly! Debates are just group discussion where you present your point of view while listening and understanding what others have to say. If you Don't wanna listen and learn what value they have to add in discussion then look in the mirror and keep yapping.
You are looking at the wrong debates then...

When a panel member questions another, the other decently respond, i don't think that happens in these days of trolls :) even in a live panel discussion.

The level and etiquette of debate on this channel is amazing. Doesn’t exist anymore in this world. Indian speakers like Gopi and Ram are brilliant - so proud of them😊🙏
Was Nepal really so backward that it could not participate in such students exchanges and intellectual debates back then? Just look at our neighbor India. Inspite of centuries of colonial oppression, the Indians really have always been an important part of the world intellectualls dominating every such debates with their articular, crisp expression of themselves immediately after just becoming independent.
I can only feel for Nepal and dear Nepalis who are still deprived of a good education system that delimits them from the shackles of narrow mindedness regarding passing of exams as the only objectives of school as well as higher education.
As an Indian I will say nepali peoples are The sweetest people✌️
Hinduism, as Ram mentioned, is very flexible and has evolved over the generations. That's what makes it different from any other religion. I'd rather call it a democratic religion. Even the rituals or beliefs are not mandatory or compulsory to the followers. People in Hinduism even can be atheists. Hinduism respects individual's choices and preferences. Unlike other religions, you'd never find a Hindu preacher trying to convert anyone into Hinduism as it's against the fundamental beliefs of Hinduism. Hinduism respects and honour all religions. You'd find many Hindu people celebrating other religion's festivals as well. You may find some Hindus visiting the church, mosque, gurudwaras or any other religious places for that purpose. That's how in India, all the religions are prospering and living happily together. In a nutshell, Hinduism is a guide to living an idealistic, happy and prosperous life. It's a lifestyle than a religion.
So young, yet well informed. They were much smarter then than we are today with all the technology at our disposal.
So diplomatic and respectful of each other too which we lack a great deal today.
Nowadays we have edgy, woke kids hurling abuse at each other on social media who have an extremely half-baked knowledge of what they're talking about.
