    I salute you professor for such a wonderful speech. I am really disappointed that you had to resign from ashoka university.

    Bhanu ji! layman's idea is why Parliament majority (absolutely) by a single party bjp /Nda never thought idea before because since it has virtually changed the political scenario to compell all of us to look out for something else in alternatives. Never in history before any single party in India created havoc and political instability​ after clinching
    maximum majority in a Parliament. The majority Parliament democratic political party is indeed a curse in the sense that in the absence of remaining members constituting a strong opposition, they emerge out supreme, deciders only legal heirs to Parliament democracy. Since this design of majority authority of a party in parliament (evil design) is in command and striving hard to crush every thing opposing them, must be stopped. A new strategy, a new thought, a new vision and a new alternative (thinking in terms of bypassing of traditional ways as even why Parliament democracy is the only choice. Since it has destruction elements in its creation may be seen.

      I hope you understand meaning of democracy. This publicly elected Govt, it's doing what people voted and voting for. They're simply doing what people expect them to do. If it hurts some then can't help. You should think why people voted against Congress and other socialist parties??

      @@gdp2102 criticising government is not inconsistent with even your reduced view of a democracy. All past governments were also elected, but were they not changed due to dissatisfaction; did criticism and opposition not play role in this? So criticism is just information and reasoning that people may take in to account before future choices.

    Tell him to give some lecture about migration of kashmiri pundits in 1990, from kashmir, to let people know who was responsible for forcing kashmiri Hindus to leave their home and settle in tents in jammu.

    Modi Govt has stopped unfair appeasement of so called minorities like especially SC, even Religious groups Muslims, like Churches, NGO's involved in religious conversions. All these groups pressurised previous Congress Govt and got undue benefits. So they are unhappy and doing all this fusses 😀😂

      You chaps were enjoying all unfair advantages for thousands of years. Why cry now when the people exploited by you are demanding what is due to them?

    Can anyone ask this liberal professor, why kashmiri pundits were forced to leave their home overnight in 1990 and who forced them to abandon their homeland and take refuge in tents in Jammu. Also inform him that kashmiri pundits were killed, their women raped, looted and their houses burnt when as per him India was fully sickular and Liberal.

    1:09:50 - Sir, listened to your impassioned speech and largely agree with you. However, you are either being intellectually dishonest or are wishfully thinking of it so in stating that communal problem is a political problem and not a cultural problem. Isn't this a slap on the face of countless lives that were lost to partition and why is the narrative always as if "well, we suffered on both sides" while the fact remains that in 1/5th of the land where Hinduism could be practised is now out of bounds for them? Unless popular secular framework also acknowledges history in non ambivalent terms, all acts of burying head in sand will only feed those who seek to profit from it.

    It is perhaps not the collapse but the hyjacking of liberal constitutionalism. Liberals like Mehta should also speak about the failure of liberal order even under earlier regimes.

      What failure? There was no failure of any liberal order because we never had one after the death of Shastri ji. Since PVNR restored the said order it has been successful.
