It is always a pleasure to listen to Prof. R. Vaidyanathan, so erudite, and speaks with an Indian accent, my home town accent rather, which registers very well and Having Rajiv Malhotra ji together is like icing on the cake. Thanks both for the enlightening talk on the current status, the Indian perspective.
Rare to find a person who was a rich successful entrepreneur dedicates his whole life for our very own culture as a mission. I purchased all his works for my library
Professor ji will live many many years. Because he always laughs before and after his statements. So laughter keeps his spirits up and healthy too. He is so Lovable. He must be very interesting in classroom.
An eyeopener revelation of world politics by Prof R. Vaidyanathan, and Rajiv sir, you are well ahead of time. You both must be part of India Foundation & Vivekananda International Foundation.
Loved it Rajiv sir and Vaidyanathan sir. Please have a discussion session about "Islam and its impact on destabilizing world economy" in IISc, Bangalore. I am looking forward to attend it
Namaste Rajiv Ji, I watch most of your videos and salute you as the most active philanthropist for the Hindu cause - you so rightfully pointed out in your last interview with World Hindu Foundation - that Indian billionaires just build a temple, but don't participate pro-actively in the upliftment of the Hindu society. I have a burning desire to write on so many issues that Hindus are facing today, but can't - because I fear that I will end up behind bars and the ones who will put me behind bars will the be none other than the Hindus I voted for. You rightfully brought up this issue that WHF should have a legal cell to protect people who have been frivolously charged - but even Swami Vigyananand himself was reluctant to comment on it - let alone commit. We need a platform where someone can write fearlessly - something what Hero Subashchandra Bose did - only then we can bring about a revolution in India. The present Army chief agrees that he will have to fight on 2.5 battlefronts - but politicians won't let that happen. You should take the initiative of creating 'copies' of yourself by providing such a platform - today people are scared of the corrupt judiciary, police, and the politicians - provide a platform where people can view their ideas and thoughts without putting their families & themselves in the harm's way - you will be able to accelerate this awareness many folds.
Hari 🕉 Rajiv sir 🙏 Rajivsirji भारतवर्ष के लोग आप के प्रति काफी संमान करते है l एसतरह की जानकारी भरी चीजे एवं इकॉनमी पॉलिटिक्स की चर्चा मीडिया में प्रायः होती ही नहीं l आप का ढेर सारा आभार l Thanks a lot for taking such important discussions. 🙏
As usual excellent Talk ! You can sit and listen for hours when Prof. Vaidyanathan speaks. He conveys the most difficult concept in layman's terms combined with his wonderful sense of humor. Its always a pleasure listening to both !
Very enlightening discussion covering 360 degrees of each of the crucial dimensions affecting the nation. Thank you for educating us who are actually choking society by fake news etc.
Don't know if my comment will get lost in the youtube comment void. But i have learnt more from watching your videos than all my academic education combined. THANK YOU SO MUCH ..... Rajiv Sir
At 32:06 What Mr Malhotra said is really awesome. These so called Indian Billionaire are highly bad people. When I came to Germany I was is very much financial problem and I somehow managed the mail id of laxmi mittal and I requested him if there is anything which I can assist his so huge company. I am bachelor's in IT and officially send him the CV together with motivation letter and I mentioned a bit as to how much I am in urgent need to have a job, though I was not detailed. Now just for the knowledge of our viewers, Mr Mittal is one of the directors of Airbus in Germany. Plus he has his office Arcelor Mittal in the same state of Germany where I was almost starving. But believe me, not only he didn't find it professional to revert me back but his company never helped any Indian students to make even pocket money for normal bread and butter. I often share this story to almost everyone to whom i met here in Germany. I think we Indian give too much respect to such people as they didn't deserve it at all. Point is simple. If someone has to do the work than why not an Indian? I mean, his one small seriousness regarding my issue would have benefitted him and
Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, said Mr. Tata's generosity would have a global impact. "Mr. Tata's gift will create jobs right here in Boston, and the executives who study at HBS will go out into the world as ambassadors of our truly world-class city." These sepoy traders were not interested in India's glory but continued slavery. Over 150 years the global methods and institutions have changed but the goals remain same.
Wrong of you to expect Mr Mittal to even reply to your mail. If he were to reply to such individual mails,then there won't be any limit and end to that.Remember he is a professional Businessman whose main motto is profit maximization, lest patriotic about it.If you're seeking a job you shouldn't have directly approached a Director ,there is a set way and process to apply for a job in any company....
Sir you are doing really great work or I can say SEVAA of Maa Bhaarti by enlightenment of Indian society. Amazing interview and I am following u from a long time and want to associate with u. Please give me a way to do that. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've been reading about the demonetization of these notes in circulation since the day it happened with great interest. I want to say that I feel strongly about Sanātana Dharma, and I want to see Bhārata resurrected, because I have a vision of working in Bhārata as an Inner Scientist or disciple, and I want to see dharma return to Earth. I have been to Bhārata myself for Kumbha Mela this past year in Ujjain for two weeks and got to see Dillī, Jaipur, Haridvār, Hṛṣīkeśa, Derāhdūn, etc. I have good friends living in different parts of the country there, and I am an active member of the Hindu community in The Woodlands, Texas (I just started working for The Hindu Temple of the Woodlands as an editor/writer/proofreader). Just so you know that I have a big personal attachment to seeing Bhārata rise up again, and that what I have to say is not lambasting you like in the manner of Arvid Kejriwal, but to find out exactly how the demonitazation process was designed and who ultimately gave the order to do so. This morning, I read an article on postcard.news about this. I wrote the following to the author of the article: postcard.news/transforming-parallel-economy-black-money-growth-economy/ For some reason, as I was reading this article, I suddenly had the realization: Let's look at the government. Isn't this government based on a British parliamentary system? I had the feeling in the beginning of the article that you are beginning to understand why there is black money to start with: because taxation is so high, you have two choices - 1) do what you love to do, but have ātmā taxed out of you (you have to sell yourself to enjoy the work you do, if it makes good money), or 2) find something that you hate to do or something that doesn't require much skill or investment of your time and energy to be good at what you have to do (sales, clerical work, etc. comes to mind), giving you a smaller salary, but (this is my experience in America, but I suspect it's the same in Bhārata) at a lower salary, you have a lower tax rate, so less of your money is taken from you. In essence, you have to decide if you want to pay a high tax for something you love to do, or out of a grudging against the gov't for its practices and taxation policies, frustrate the gov't by giving it as little taxation money as you can get away with legally. I was also seeing you beginning to understand that it isn't the badness of the people blacking the money, but the government practices that makes it expensive to do business in the country. Remove the block of high taxation, then there would be no need to blacken or laundry the money, so long as it is outside of drugs, sex, arms, and cattle smuggling. However, you seem to fail to see the possibility that the most recent state of the government has been one of a Western Parliamentary system (focusing on the finances aspect only for this comment) that struggles with understanding why OTHER western governments have much better finances AND infrastructure (nice roads/streets/highways, relatively clean sidewalks and plently of them for safe walking and access, more recent construction, etc.). It appears (and I hope you see this) that finally, the GOI is finally learning how to emulate other WESTERN gov't more closely to make itself more western in its CONTROL of people, who in western societies are NOT treated as "the people who voted in the gov't officials and have the right to ORDER the gov't to do what they want it to do," but as SUBJECTS of the gov't. In other words, The gov't tells you what to do on EVERYTHING. That is NOT how Indic Kingdoms ran. It was answerable to the people of the land, not the other way around as it has historically been in Europe and elsewhere in the absence of dharma. A reason I can see why America and Europe are more successful as they are today is because they have managed to successfully and completely conquer the native population of the land they took over. Here in America, the government does not have Native Americans to complicate its domestic affairs like Bhārata does with agitative Muslims, aggressive Christian Missionaries, and Maoist/Naxalite Communists, and the people who fund their divisive efforts. Another reason is that the gov'ts of these nations are built entirely on Westernism to start with, but Bhārata was once an Indic-gov't nation, and there is that feeling that there is something missing in the machinery that is the present GOI. So, what is set up is this thing of the people not liking how the GOI works like a satellite of the UK (and it still does!) at a very deep personal level and going about ways of frustrating the gov't. Look at it this way. Facts are just notes about the material world, but are they always true? It is a fact that the Taj Mahal exists in Agra, but will it be a fact 500 years from now, 1000 years from now? You are alive today, that is a fact. But is it still a fact 100 years from now if you die before then? In this case, facts are not truth. Truths are eternal, no matter what. It is a FACT that the GOI is operating as a parliamentary system, but is it based on "dharma?" No. Facts about the GOI can change from time to time, but the truth never changes; either it is operating on dharma, or it is not - what is government dharma? That never changes, and this question has to be answered every time. To that end, my feeling as I stated above, as I was reading this article, is that the GOI is merely tightening the noose on your necks insofar as how they control money in the economy, how it flows, and even who it flows TO. They're figuring out how to become a better Western government, and I don't know that the people supporting demonetization in exactly the manner it has gone about instead of safeguarding the cash transactions for cashed-based people understand that very clearly. Please print this out and put this in with your memorable papers so that you can read this again and see if this turns out to be true 30 years from now. My sincere hope is I am wrong, that the economy doesn't become westernized like America or Europe, where everything you do is tracked (unless in America, you make the practice of always keeping cash on you to do your purchases on a daily basis). The thing you must understand is that the banking system in Bhārata is being integrated with business in a very adharmic way, and that is, when banks can track your purchases, they can SELL your purchase information in the form of a "shopping database," or a consumer list to businesses interested in selling you things. You will hate this because you will wonder how the web sites with ads know that you like a particular drink or products for your house, people will randomly call you, asking if you want to buy this or that, and if the westernization of Bhārata becomes complete, you will then get spam or junk mail in your mail box (I don't mean e-mail. I mean mail you pick up at the post office, a letter from your aunty, and you get close to half-a-pound to a pound of waste paper advertisements). This is consumer's hell on earth. People pestering you for money to buy this and that when you don't need it. These businesses in hand with the bankers want to turn YOU into consumers just as materialistic as Americans are, because they don't know how to be happy with the things they have nor with the success they've had. This will make society even more adharmic than it is now (I know, as I've spent six weeks in two cities over there). The bankers and the business people are completely extroverted, epicureans chasing after their desires. Look at the Bhagavad Gītā, ślokas 2.70-71: 2.70: As the waters enter the ocean from all sides, it remains steady and unperturbed. So also, the desires enter a person of steadiness, tranquility, and peace (without causing any perturbation). It is not so in (an epicure) a person who seeks desires. 2.71: He, who has abandoned his desires and who wanders free from desires and a sense of ego and mineness attains peace. These Epicurean bankers and business people want to use YOU to make them rich, not to make YOU happy with the things you buy, because if you have everything you need, what then is the need to buy anything else when you have your needs met? Where is their income going to come from if you are not buying their merchandise, which has to move to keep them in their big houses with a swimming pool in the back and 2-3 cars in the garage? The world can meet your needs for survival, but as Svāmīji says, the world cannot meet the wants of a single person, as they are unlimited. I know that Bhārata needs to get a handle on the current financial situation, but I just have a sneaking feeling that there is an ulterior motive for the demonetization effort that lies beyond what is obvious; black money, illegal deals, political influences, hiding money so that rich people making LOTS of money end up paying the same amount of tax or even less than that of a rickshaw driver. I feel that rather, the ulterior motive lies with the outsiders to Bhārata who own and run this world, who also want to gain a stronger foothold in your country, and then control you like they have in Europe for centuries and for a couple of centuries in America. Can you assuage the fears I have about Westerners getting complete control of your country? That is the last thing we need to see happening.
Brilliant, love ur discourses, very illuminating for a convent educated Indian patriot like me. Thank you for soldiering on, keep up the good essential work
More power to you! Feels like there is something special about the followers and those who are commenting here! They are different from the other social media crowd who just post crap.
Rajiv Malhotra is without doubt one of the greatest intellects and sons of the soil of today's times... There were times in the past when I have not agreed with him completely.. but now he has completely won me over..
Professor its always a eye opener with your talks. Since u r are appearing quiet often in the UA-cam May I suggest that u use similar equipment as Mr Malhotra does for his talks. Rajivji should help him in this endeavour, so that we public may get "better video". From one Sr Citizen fan to another Sr Citizen🙃
With all due respect to Mr. Vaidyanathan, he sounds pessimistic on so many fronts. I admire his journey as a soul, insights, analysis, efforts, & have huge respect for him, but that doesn't stop me from noticing the pessimism. Above all, I love you both. You people are the original Rockstars. Superb discussion as always. Looking forward.
Sir, have you interviewed Dr Ravi Batra who's prominent Economist and professor in USA? I'd love to hear two of you discussing world poverty and his views on solutions on that matter. Namaskar.
Always great to listen to Rajivji and Prof Vaidya discussion. Two of the inspiring people today. Gives us hope for the better future. Thank you both for your efforts.
Fantastic interview with Prof. Vaidyanathan who has done seminal work on entrepreneurship of hinterland of India, away from Metros. One small correction in the Interview. Prof. Vaidyanathan commented about banking industry that there are 70000 bank branches and 80000 ATMs. These figures are not accurate. There are 1,30,000 bank branches and 2,00,000 ATMs in India. Otherwise, I fully agree with views and prophesies of Prof. Vaidyanathan on other issues. Good job Rajiv Malhotra.
Respected Rajiv Sir, I am nobody to suggest You anything. Still, I have one thought I wish to share... Kindly do a Live Talk with Dr. R S N Singh on Internal Security with a special emphasis on NGO nexus, so-called "apolitical" campaigns, and Naxal Problem... Especially with regard to the current China Crisis and GORKHA-LAND CRISIS... We have very very very scant and confused information on that very important issue...
Well I am from siliguri and I can say that Gorkha land crisis is not to be afraid of or its not a crisis at all. The pahari people are very much ignorant and innocent and are good persons. But you can make them understand anything you want and the leaders are doing exactly that. But still there is no chance it will spread as their problems are completely different from anyone. Once they tried to organise rallies in siliguri which we successfully obstructed and then stopped sending them food and they had to bend. So its too small a problem to be really discussed.
Rajiv ji, what a fascinating interview & some excellent questions. Absolute facts stated in the Indian Black Money outlook. have you read the book by Shri Vinod Rai - Not Just an Accountant. Can you run a detailed interview with Mr Rai on that book and its contents. It will be fascinating & an eye opener. The problem is only few thousands read the books & media doesn't expose.
17:40 " "Kinder statt Inder" ("children instead of Indians") which was a media interpretation of "Statt Inder an die Computer müssen unsere Kinder an die Computer" ("instead of Indians in front of computers, our children must be in front of computers")" source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_R%C3%BCttgers
Thanks for an engaging, cerebral discussion. Rajiv Malhotra ji, I follow your work and the content you put out through your foundation. I have a comment to make regarding your observations of how institutions are not being built by the Modi government. I would humbly submit to you, that as Prof. Vaidhyanathan said on other issues, this too will take time. If not the current leadership, who else do you think will be able to move the country in directions you wish to see? Perhaps intensifying your efforts, spreading your thoughts and garnering support within the administration could help?
Shubhankit Dutt. You are wrong. PM has not given any assurance even after meeting him many times in the last 5 yrs. Rajiv ji met Modi in 2013 once and in 2016 again. 0 Help so far from govt. Rajiv ji has said that in his later interviews.
'अर्थक्रांति' एक सुंदर विचार है। यदि इसे सही से लागू किया जाए तो हिंदुस्थान विश्व में सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था के रूप में उभरेगा। Professor वैद्यनाथन उसका विरोध केवल इसलिए कर रहे हैं क्योंकि वो इसे किसी और का सिधांत मानते हैं और श्रेय देने से डरते हैं।
Fortunately I was born with de-colonized mind. I am doing the same for my children. IInstead of blaming others and govt I think if every one of us start doing our own duty for our respected beloved matrabhoomi, we will acheive the goal of world's most Gem of nations which has YOGA, SANSKRIT, VEDAS< GEETA, RAMAYAN and great number of philospehers from various part of the country. Rajiv ji, I am your die hard fan. I would request every Bhartiya to help him in whatever possible way we can.
Prof vedhyanathan should come in another video too. A video on our technology and small business econonmy. What is the name of book sir? Book on Tax ? Please announce on UA-cam .
@26:16 China's numbers may not be reliable, but people can feel the difference on the ground with the infrastructure. Good overall discussion, though. Point about the indian institutions is well made.
One more reason for the ineffectiveness of Demonetization was premature withdrawal of ceilings on cash withdrawal from Banks. Once ceilings were removed, all business people, corporates and common public withdrew massive amounts of cash from Banks and started hoarding the cash again. As a result, there is now acute cash crunch in hinterlands of India and ATMs are dry of cash. Cash is not being recycled or recirculated. Small businesses, informal sector, and farmers in rural areas are suffering hugely for want of cash in Banks. Banks started unannounced rationing of cash withdrawals and disbursements as they were not getting remittances of cash from RBI. This issue has now assumed serious proportions and but nobody is talking about it. The suggestion of Prof. Vaidyanathan that there should be a law restricting of hoarding/keeping cash at home or office not more than 1 million is very relevant and necessary under today''s circumstances.
I'm a huge fan of Prof. Vaidyanathan, but there is some amount of incongruity in what he's talking about. at 50:40, Prof. Vaidyanathan talks about current proportionate taxation in Income Tax (poor people pay nothing, Rich pay enormous amount of tax). But as he himself says "Banking AND PRACTICES", In practice, businessmen pay a CA to reduce their tax to such an extent that many of them pay almost NO INCOME TAX IN REALITY! As the head of a major mutual fund (I forget his name) said in one talk, he pays more tax as a salaried individual in a single year, than all his cousins who are businessmen have paid collectively in their entire life (though they have palatial homes, multiple luxury cars and wealth)! I think the biggest reason for 2% bank transfer charge not being implemented is that it will affect the rich men the MOST! Politicians, Businessmen, and govt employees with disproportionate assets would end up paying the most tax! In fact, he then goes on to contradict himself at 52:00 by stating that a politician has exempted 100 crores by stating it as agricultural income from 10 acres of land! So where is the question of proportionate taxation currently? He also states that indirect taxes are regressive as they tax everyone indiscriminately. However, the tax on a bar of soap or "essentials" could be 5% and maybe premium products such as powerful bikes, a/c, and other luxury items could be 25% and super-luxury items such as foreign cars could be kept as 70-80%. Then where is the question of regressive taxation or indiscriminate taxation?
But problem with 2% on banking transaction is if middle class people reduce buy luxery so tax collection is very low so resulting reduce economy and india is still under developing country .AND indian people is know for aceint living technich so we live without luxery
Excellent conversation. But the part where they talk about the Indian "colonized state of mind" is quite harrowing. Our education system, parents, teachers and elders have singularly failed to instill pride and educate the post-independence generations in the breadth and depth of our great civilizational achievements. That has led to a state where we have young minds that look toward West for inspiration and approval instead of seeking them within. India cannot fully realize its potential until Indians shed their colonized minds and learn to respect their past.
RSS is actually lacking a proper forum to talk and propagate what they think about India and what's their idea of being an Indian. I hope they go mainstream so that a non-RSS person can get to know them and make up their opinion clearly via direct reference sites, not the media based image. Plus, a need to publish research papers with proper facts is on various aspects of India's cultural unity is not there.
Ideally agricultural income beyond a cap should be brought under income tax..and in case all agricultural income has to be brought under the same common tax slabs, then the farmers should be protected in every possible way during no rains, or crop losses due to various reasons... there should be a comprehensive hassle free procedures/payments as compensation during such times..and of course merging the lands and a scaled irrigation with central planning depending on demand/supply is the IDEAL. with established common offices serving agricultural equipments etc with minimal costs etc that aid in large scale production etc etc.
I would love to see R. Vaidyanathan's book, "Black Money and Tax Havens" released in electronic form because I plan to relocate to Bhāratavarṣa and can't afford the bulk shipping fees for my things there. Actually, in America, the interest rate for CDs and savings accounts amount to something *** .01% *** to only 1%. Nothing worth saving, ESPECIALLY when you consider that the bankers take your money and play with it to make returns multiples in one night what you would earn in one year at these rates. I'm going to post my article about the demonetization again because I feel that concerns about the demonetization has not been addressed thus far by anyone I've seen.
To get rid of the last 260 years of mud will require some time, with continued efforts we will be the country looked at for guidance in all spheres of HUMAN endeavour.
Though not very relevant, but how come the clarity of the video on the left @Rajiv ji side is so crisp in HD & video quality on the right Prof R. Vaidyanathan ji is in Lag and not so HD? My guess was good internet facilities in US and here... :/
Please do not say we lack traditional institutions in india; there are a whole lot of hindu spiritual gurus awaking millions of followers in the hindu society slowly but steadily
Shailesh ji, very true. I see Baba Ramdev doing phenomenal work in the field of education, Ayurvedic research, Natural/Ayurvedic health remedies (Yog Gram is a shining example), digitization of old manuscripts, organic farming, raising a completely new generation of Rishis, etc. apart from giving nightmares to Multi-national FMCG companies.
In case of bank transaction based taxes, how about the tax slabs that are exempted and then higher tax slab categories and the related complications?? and those possibilities (if any) of any commodity exchange (gold etc) for favors/bribes or evaders (though it may be minimal...
Rajiv sir it is too much to expect from our politicians to think BIG and have any interest in Governance. Corruption is like a banian tree principle and nature.
Sir , please conduct a discussion on convsertion by Christion missionaries in India. It's rate of convertion is increasing day by day ... Also try to find out a solution...to this issue
The solution can ONLY be conversion by Hindus, not just in India but around the world an evangelist movement of Hinduism is necessary with Christians in first world countries encouraged to convert
It is always a pleasure to listen to Prof. R. Vaidyanathan, so erudite, and speaks with an Indian accent, my home town accent rather, which registers very well and Having Rajiv Malhotra ji together is like icing on the cake. Thanks both for the enlightening talk on the current status, the Indian perspective.
Both are Geniuses of First Class...
This discussion is so enlightening. Professor Vaidyanathan is actually a sea of knowledge (vidyasagar).
Agree completely!
This discussion is awesome. this must be in media. media is very poor in projecting India.
Prof. Vaidyanathan. Respect!
he is surely an expert and academic personality. .....seen a few messages of his from PGurus Shree.

Proud of both intellectuals, out pouring the retrospective treasure and uncovering theburried truth.
Amazing conversation between two dharmic legends and thought leaders. Very informative and enlightening.
Rare to find a person who was a rich successful entrepreneur dedicates his whole life for our very own culture as a mission. I purchased all his works for my library
I wakeup everyday check of Rajiv Malhotra notifications before starting my day.
Professor ji will live many many years.
Because he always laughs before and after his statements.
So laughter keeps his spirits up and healthy too.
He is so Lovable.
He must be very interesting in classroom.
An eyeopener revelation of world politics by Prof R. Vaidyanathan, and Rajiv sir, you are well ahead of time. You both must be part of India Foundation & Vivekananda International Foundation.
Both are amazing. I simply love this conversation.
Great. Simply great!
Two great intellectuals discussing every one need to learn and propogate
beautiful conversation again made by Rajeev ji
RAJIV JI IS A RISHI OF OUR TIMES WORKING SELFLESSLY SPREADING KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM
l will definitely read Sir!!!
Gem of a Discussion between these two great thinkers.
Loved it Rajiv sir and Vaidyanathan sir. Please have a discussion session about "Islam and its impact on destabilizing world economy" in IISc, Bangalore. I am looking forward to attend it
Namaste Rajiv Ji,
I watch most of your videos and salute you as the most active philanthropist for the Hindu cause - you so rightfully pointed out in your last interview with World Hindu Foundation - that Indian billionaires just build a temple, but don't participate pro-actively in the upliftment of the Hindu society.
I have a burning desire to write on so many issues that Hindus are facing today, but can't - because I fear that I will end up behind bars and the ones who will put me behind bars will the be none other than the Hindus I voted for.
You rightfully brought up this issue that WHF should have a legal cell to protect people who have been frivolously charged - but even Swami Vigyananand himself was reluctant to comment on it - let alone commit.
We need a platform where someone can write fearlessly - something what Hero Subashchandra Bose did - only then we can bring about a revolution in India.
The present Army chief agrees that he will have to fight on 2.5 battlefronts - but politicians won't let that happen.
You should take the initiative of creating 'copies' of yourself by providing such a platform - today people are scared of the corrupt judiciary, police, and the politicians - provide a platform where people can view their ideas and thoughts without putting
their families & themselves in the harm's way - you will be able to accelerate this awareness many folds.

As usual excellent Talk ! You can sit and listen for hours when Prof. Vaidyanathan speaks. He conveys the most difficult concept in layman's terms combined with his wonderful sense of humor. Its always a pleasure listening to both !
True learned men they should be appreciated and people like these should be made education minister.

At 32:06 What Mr Malhotra said is really awesome. These so called Indian Billionaire are highly bad people. When I came to Germany I was is very much financial problem and I somehow managed the mail id of laxmi mittal and I requested him if there is anything which I can assist his so huge company.

I have been to Bhārata myself for Kumbha Mela this past year in Ujjain for two weeks and got to see Dillī, Jaipur, Haridvār, Hṛṣīkeśa, Derāhdūn, etc. I have good friends living in different parts of the country there, and I am an active member of the Hindu community in The Woodlands, Texas (I just started working for The Hindu Temple of the Woodlands as an editor/writer/proofreader). Just so you know that I have a big personal attachment to seeing Bhārata rise up again, and that what I have to say is not lambasting you like in the manner of Arvid Kejriwal, but to find out exactly how the demonitazation process was designed and who ultimately gave the order to do so. This morning, I read an article on postcard.news about this. I wrote the following to the author of the article:
postcard.news/transforming-parallel-economy-black-money-growth-economy/
For some reason, as I was reading this article, I suddenly had the realization:
Let's look at the government. Isn't this government based on a British parliamentary system? I had the feeling in the beginning of the article that you are beginning to understand why there is black money to start with: because taxation is so high, you have two choices - 1) do what you love to do, but have ātmā taxed out of you (you have to sell yourself to enjoy the work you do, if it makes good money), or 2) find something that you hate to do or something that doesn't require much skill or investment of your time and energy to be good at what you have to do (sales, clerical work, etc. comes to mind), giving you a smaller salary, but (this is my experience in America, but I suspect it's the same in Bhārata) at a lower salary, you have a lower tax rate, so less of your money is taken from you.
In essence, you have to decide if you want to pay a high tax for something you love to do, or out of a grudging against the gov't for its practices and taxation policies, frustrate the gov't by giving it as little taxation money as you can get away with legally.
I was also seeing you beginning to understand that it isn't the badness of the people blacking the money, but the government practices that makes it expensive to do business in the country. Remove the block of high taxation, then there would be no need to blacken or laundry the money, so long as it is outside of drugs, sex, arms, and cattle smuggling.
However, you seem to fail to see the possibility that the most recent state of the government has been one of a Western Parliamentary system (focusing on the finances aspect only for this comment) that struggles with understanding why OTHER western governments have much better finances AND infrastructure (nice roads/streets/highways, relatively clean sidewalks and plently of them for safe walking and access, more recent construction, etc.). It appears (and I hope you see this) that finally, the GOI is finally learning how to emulate other WESTERN gov't more closely to make itself more western in its CONTROL of people, who in western societies are NOT treated as "the people who voted in the gov't officials and have the right to ORDER the gov't to do what they want it to do," but as SUBJECTS of the gov't. In other words, The gov't tells you what to do on EVERYTHING. That is NOT how Indic Kingdoms ran. It was answerable to the people of the land, not the other way around as it has historically been in Europe and elsewhere in the absence of dharma.
A reason I can see why America and Europe are more successful as they are today is because they have managed to successfully and completely conquer the native population of the land they took over. Here in America, the government does not have Native Americans to complicate its domestic affairs like Bhārata does with agitative Muslims, aggressive Christian Missionaries, and Maoist/Naxalite Communists, and the people who fund their divisive efforts.
Another reason is that the gov'ts of these nations are built entirely on Westernism to start with, but Bhārata was once an Indic-gov't nation, and there is that feeling that there is something missing in the machinery that is the present GOI. So, what is set up is this thing of the people not liking how the GOI works like a satellite of the UK (and it still does!) at a very deep personal level and going about ways of frustrating the gov't.
Look at it this way. Facts are just notes about the material world, but are they always true? It is a fact that the Taj Mahal exists in Agra, but will it be a fact 500 years from now, 1000 years from now? You are alive today, that is a fact. But is it still a fact 100 years from now if you die before then? In this case, facts are not truth. Truths are eternal, no matter what.
It is a FACT that the GOI is operating as a parliamentary system, but is it based on "dharma?" No. Facts about the GOI can change from time to time, but the truth never changes; either it is operating on dharma, or it is not - what is government dharma? That never changes, and this question has to be answered every time.
To that end, my feeling as I stated above, as I was reading this article, is that the GOI is merely tightening the noose on your necks insofar as how they control money in the economy, how it flows, and even who it flows TO. They're figuring out how to become a better Western government, and I don't know that the people supporting demonetization in exactly the manner it has gone about instead of safeguarding the cash transactions for cashed-based people understand that very clearly. Please print this out and put this in with your memorable papers so that you can read this again and see if this turns out to be true 30 years from now.
My sincere hope is I am wrong, that the economy doesn't become westernized like America or Europe, where everything you do is tracked (unless in America, you make the practice of always keeping cash on you to do your purchases on a daily basis). The thing you must understand is that the banking system in Bhārata is being integrated with business in a very adharmic way, and that is, when banks can track your purchases, they can SELL your purchase information in the form of a "shopping database," or a consumer list to businesses interested in selling you things. You will hate this because you will wonder how the web sites with ads know that you like a particular drink or products for your house, people will randomly call you, asking if you want to buy this or that, and if the westernization of Bhārata becomes complete, you will then get spam or junk mail in your mail box (I don't mean e-mail. I mean mail you pick up at the post office, a letter from your aunty, and you get close to half-a-pound to a pound of waste paper advertisements). This is consumer's hell on earth. People pestering you for money to buy this and that when you don't need it. These businesses in hand with the bankers want to turn YOU into consumers just as materialistic as Americans are, because they don't know how to be happy with the things they have nor with the success they've had. This will make society even more adharmic than it is now (I know, as I've spent six weeks in two cities over there). The bankers and the business people are completely extroverted, epicureans chasing after their desires. Look at the Bhagavad Gītā, ślokas 2.70-71:
2.70: As the waters enter the ocean from all sides, it remains steady and unperturbed. So also, the desires enter a person of steadiness, tranquility, and peace (without causing any perturbation). It is not so in (an epicure) a person who seeks desires.
2.71: He, who has abandoned his desires and who wanders free from desires and a sense of ego and mineness attains peace.
These Epicurean bankers and business people want to use YOU to make them rich, not to make YOU happy with the things you buy, because if you have everything you need, what then is the need to buy anything else when you have your needs met? Where is their income going to come from if you are not buying their merchandise, which has to move to keep them in their big houses with a swimming pool in the back and 2-3 cars in the garage? The world can meet your needs for survival, but as Svāmīji says, the world cannot meet the wants of a single person, as they are unlimited.
I know that Bhārata needs to get a handle on the current financial situation, but I just have a sneaking feeling that there is an ulterior motive for the demonetization effort that lies beyond what is obvious; black money, illegal deals, political influences, hiding money so that rich people making LOTS of money end up paying the same amount of tax or even less than that of a rickshaw driver. I feel that rather, the ulterior motive lies with the outsiders to Bhārata who own and run this world, who also want to gain a stronger foothold in your country, and then control you like they have in Europe for centuries and for a couple of centuries in America.
Can you assuage the fears I have about Westerners getting complete control of your country? That is the last thing we need to see happening.
intelligent insights...
Brilliant, love ur discourses, very illuminating for a convent educated Indian patriot like me. Thank you for soldiering on, keep up the good essential work
More power to you! Feels like there is something special about the followers and those who are commenting here! They are different from the other social media crowd who just post crap.
Very realistic and thought provoking discussion by two thinking intellectuals.
Your videos are like finding a gold after doing mining.
Rajiv Malhotra is without doubt one of the greatest intellects and sons of the soil of today's times... There were times in the past when I have not agreed with him completely.. but now he has completely won me over..
Very nice interview!! Thank you
nice to listen.
very good talk!!
SHIV AASHIRWAAD TO SHIV BHAKT BELOVED SHRI RAJIV MALHOTRA
Prof V is a blessing to students
Professor its always a eye opener with your talks. Since u r are appearing quiet often in the UA-cam May I suggest that u use similar equipment as Mr Malhotra does for his talks. Rajivji should help him in this endeavour, so that we public may get "better video". From one Sr Citizen fan to another Sr Citizen🙃
SIR YOU ARE GREAT
Superb discussion ..thanks Prof Vaidyanathan & RM
Eye Opening thoughts
Vah.prof .r.v my best legend with malhotra sahab(cultural legend)
Thanks 4 prof. Lecture.
With all due respect to Mr. Vaidyanathan, he sounds pessimistic on so many fronts. I admire his journey as a soul, insights, analysis, efforts, & have huge respect for him, but that doesn't stop me from noticing the pessimism. Above all, I love you both. You people are the original Rockstars. Superb discussion as always. Looking forward.
Great informat
Impressed.
Sir, have you interviewed Dr Ravi Batra who's prominent Economist and professor in USA? I'd love to hear two of you discussing world poverty and his views on solutions on that matter. Namaskar.
Quite good: You may not read it, but buy it... Vaidyanathan Sir also has written another book called "India Uninc"...
Delighted to hear prof. vaidyanathan
these are the issues that should be discussed in mainstream media
ya..its a collective fight for all of us...we r going to act and react...
Always great to listen to Rajivji and Prof Vaidya discussion. Two of the inspiring people today. Gives us hope for the better future. Thank you both for your efforts.
Fantastic interview with Prof. Vaidyanathan who has done seminal work on entrepreneurship of hinterland of India, away from Metros. One small correction in the Interview. Prof. Vaidyanathan commented about banking industry that there are 70000 bank branches and 80000 ATMs. These figures are not accurate. There are 1,30,000 bank branches and 2,00,000 ATMs in India. Otherwise, I fully agree with views and prophesies of Prof. Vaidyanathan on other issues. Good job Rajiv Malhotra.
best video ever. Best. Never seen a debate so knowledgeable .europe lost will to fight
Respected Rajiv Sir, I am nobody to suggest You anything. Still, I have one thought I wish to share... Kindly do a Live Talk with Dr. R S N Singh on Internal Security with a special emphasis on NGO nexus, so-called "apolitical" campaigns, and Naxal Problem... Especially with regard to the current China Crisis and GORKHA-LAND CRISIS... We have very very very scant and confused information on that very important issue...
it is better add ajith doval also for the discussion
Excellent suggestion Mr Vivek and Ramakrishna ji
Well I am from siliguri and I can say that Gorkha land crisis is not to be afraid of or its not a crisis at all. The pahari people are very much ignorant and innocent and are good persons. But you can make them understand anything you want and the leaders are doing exactly that. But still there is no chance it will spread as their problems are completely different from anyone. Once they tried to organise rallies in siliguri which we successfully obstructed and then stopped sending them food and they had to bend. So its too small a problem to be really discussed.
If these two guys would have been 30 years younger, then India would have been greatly serviced.
Well said.
It was nice listening to intellectuals.
Thank you Rajeev dada for this video
Rajiv ji, what a fascinating interview & some excellent questions. Absolute facts stated in the Indian Black Money outlook. have you read the book by Shri Vinod Rai - Not Just an Accountant. Can you run a detailed interview with Mr Rai on that book and its contents. It will be fascinating & an eye opener. The problem is only few thousands read the books & media doesn't expose.
17:40 " "Kinder statt Inder" ("children instead of Indians") which was a media interpretation of "Statt Inder an die Computer müssen unsere Kinder an die Computer" ("instead of Indians in front of computers, our children must be in front of computers")" source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_R%C3%BCttgers
Thanks for an engaging, cerebral discussion. Rajiv Malhotra ji, I follow your work and the content you put out through your foundation. I have a comment to make regarding your observations of how institutions are not being built by the Modi government. I would humbly submit to you, that as Prof. Vaidhyanathan said on other issues, this too will take time. If not the current leadership, who else do you think will be able to move the country in directions you wish to see? Perhaps intensifying your efforts, spreading your thoughts and garnering support within the administration could help?
Sir please make a video on what you do, what your mission is, etc.... !
Indian leaders need far sightedness regarding country
Did the Indian PM watch this great conversation ????
roopajincy prime minister knows him and backs his work. He is in direct contact with him. And has taken actions and decisions according to him.
Shubhankit Dutt. You are wrong. PM has not given any assurance even after meeting him many times in the last 5 yrs. Rajiv ji met Modi in 2013 once and in 2016 again. 0 Help so far from govt. Rajiv ji has said that in his later interviews.
'अर्थक्रांति' एक सुंदर विचार है। यदि इसे सही से लागू किया जाए तो हिंदुस्थान विश्व में सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था के रूप में उभरेगा। Professor वैद्यनाथन उसका विरोध केवल इसलिए कर रहे हैं क्योंकि वो इसे किसी और का सिधांत मानते हैं और श्रेय देने से डरते हैं।
show the path sir....
Lovely
Sir can you put malidoma patrice on this series...i read one of her book...very good perspective on missionary activity and colonisation
Yadvendra Yadav Is she critical of them ?
Fortunately I was born with de-colonized mind. I am doing the same for my children. IInstead of blaming others and govt I think if every one of us start doing our own duty for our respected beloved matrabhoomi, we will acheive the goal of world's most Gem of nations which has YOGA, SANSKRIT, VEDAS< GEETA, RAMAYAN and great number of philospehers from various part of the country. Rajiv ji, I am your die hard fan. I would request every Bhartiya to help him in whatever possible way we can.
The revelation that many precious gems, stones, and Murtis are locked in these tax havens is actually quite startling...
Rajiv ji! Please see the work of Isha foundation
Prof vedhyanathan should come in another video too. A video on our technology and small business econonmy. What is the name of book sir? Book on Tax ? Please announce on UA-cam .
52.10 the politician is Sharad pawar and the daughter is Supriya Sule who earned 110 crores from 10 acres of land through agricultural
@26:16 China's numbers may not be reliable, but people can feel the difference on the ground with the infrastructure.
Good overall discussion, though. Point about the indian institutions is well made.
I hate Ndtv news channel..
sanathana dharma CNN IBN , India Today , Mirror Now is in same category .
One more reason for the ineffectiveness of Demonetization was premature withdrawal of ceilings on cash withdrawal from Banks. Once ceilings were removed, all business people, corporates and common public withdrew massive amounts of cash from Banks and started hoarding the cash again. As a result, there is now acute cash crunch in hinterlands of India and ATMs are dry of cash. Cash is not being recycled or recirculated. Small businesses, informal sector, and farmers in rural areas are suffering hugely for want of cash in Banks. Banks started unannounced rationing of cash withdrawals and disbursements as they were not getting remittances of cash from RBI. This issue has now assumed serious proportions and but nobody is talking about it. The suggestion of Prof. Vaidyanathan that there should be a law restricting of hoarding/keeping cash at home or office not more than 1 million is very relevant and necessary under today''s circumstances.
What I might loosley call is "Two geniuses"
I'm a huge fan of Prof. Vaidyanathan, but there is some amount of incongruity in what he's talking about.
at 50:40, Prof. Vaidyanathan talks about current proportionate taxation in Income Tax (poor people pay nothing, Rich pay enormous amount of tax). But as he himself says "Banking AND PRACTICES", In practice, businessmen pay a CA to reduce their tax to such an extent that many of them pay almost NO INCOME TAX IN REALITY! As the head of a major mutual fund (I forget his name) said in one talk, he pays more tax as a salaried individual in a single year, than all his cousins who are businessmen have paid collectively in their entire life (though they have palatial homes, multiple luxury cars and wealth)!
I think the biggest reason for 2% bank transfer charge not being implemented is that it will affect the rich men the MOST! Politicians, Businessmen, and govt employees with disproportionate assets would end up paying the most tax!
In fact, he then goes on to contradict himself at 52:00 by stating that a politician has exempted 100 crores by stating it as agricultural income from 10 acres of land! So where is the question of proportionate taxation currently?
He also states that indirect taxes are regressive as they tax everyone indiscriminately. However, the tax on a bar of soap or "essentials" could be 5% and maybe premium products such as powerful bikes, a/c, and other luxury items could be 25% and super-luxury items such as foreign cars could be kept as 70-80%. Then where is the question of regressive taxation or indiscriminate taxation?
But problem with 2% on banking transaction is if middle class people reduce buy luxery so tax collection is very low so resulting reduce economy and india is still under developing country .AND indian people is know for aceint living technich so we live without luxery
Mr Malhotra when is the book expected to be in the market?
Excellent conversation. But the part where they talk about the Indian "colonized state of mind" is quite harrowing. Our education system, parents, teachers and elders have singularly failed to instill pride and educate the post-independence generations in the breadth and depth of our great civilizational achievements. That has led to a state where we have young minds that look toward West for inspiration and approval instead of seeking them within. India cannot fully realize its potential until Indians shed their colonized minds and learn to respect their past.
"Let me be very clear", i am more confused than before i watched this video ;)
Sir,You said that there is no institution for ideological training but isn't RSS that type of institution?
Many RSS people I know of are actually quite un-rigourous in their approach. Put differently, they have liitle actionable intelligence.
Nope, RSS is something very different. It has its purpose, but its different from "systems" and "institutions" needed to build India.
Archit Goel rss is anti-intellectual. In their 80+years how many hindu intellectuals have they produced? koenraad elst puts it quite well
True, can't agree more. More unforgivable, they are UN-Cool...having Kakhi Pants and chaddis as uniform....really?
RSS is actually lacking a proper forum to talk and propagate what they think about India and what's their idea of being an Indian. I hope they go mainstream so that a non-RSS person can get to know them and make up their opinion clearly via direct reference sites, not the media based image. Plus, a need to publish research papers with proper facts is on various aspects of India's cultural unity is not there.
Ideally agricultural income beyond a cap should be brought under income tax..and in case all agricultural income has to be brought under the same common tax slabs, then the farmers should be protected in every possible way during no rains, or crop losses due to various reasons... there should be a comprehensive hassle free procedures/payments as compensation during such times..and of course merging the lands and a scaled irrigation with central planning depending on demand/supply is the IDEAL. with established common offices serving agricultural equipments etc with minimal costs etc that aid in large scale production etc etc.
I would love to see R. Vaidyanathan's book, "Black Money and Tax Havens" released in electronic form because I plan to relocate to Bhāratavarṣa and can't afford the bulk shipping fees for my things there.
Actually, in America, the interest rate for CDs and savings accounts amount to something *** .01% *** to only 1%. Nothing worth saving, ESPECIALLY when you consider that the bankers take your money and play with it to make returns multiples in one night what you would earn in one year at these rates.
I'm going to post my article about the demonetization again because I feel that concerns about the demonetization has not been addressed thus far by anyone I've seen.
To get rid of the last 260 years of mud will require some time, with continued efforts we will be the country looked at for guidance in all spheres of HUMAN endeavour.
If we just rewrite our History and our NCERT Text books ....I guess we will REWIRE to flavour of BHARATH... ...
Though not very relevant, but how come the clarity of the video on the left @Rajiv ji side is so crisp in HD & video quality on the right Prof R. Vaidyanathan ji is in Lag and not so HD? My guess was good internet facilities in US and here... :/
Please do not say we lack traditional institutions in india; there are a whole lot of hindu spiritual gurus awaking millions of followers in the hindu society slowly but steadily
Shailesh ji, very true. I see Baba Ramdev doing phenomenal work in the field of education, Ayurvedic research, Natural/Ayurvedic health remedies (Yog Gram is a shining example), digitization of old manuscripts, organic farming, raising a completely new generation of Rishis, etc. apart from giving nightmares to Multi-national FMCG companies.
In case of bank transaction based taxes, how about the tax slabs that are exempted and then higher tax slab categories and the related complications?? and those possibilities (if any) of any commodity exchange (gold etc) for favors/bribes or evaders (though it may be minimal...
Rajiv sir it is too much to expect from our politicians to think BIG and have any interest in Governance. Corruption is like a banian tree principle and nature.
Sir , please conduct a discussion on convsertion by Christion missionaries in India. It's rate of convertion is increasing day by day ...
Also try to find out a solution...to this issue
The solution can ONLY be conversion by Hindus, not just in India but around the world an evangelist movement of Hinduism is necessary with Christians in first world countries encouraged to convert
