I have been watching Faraz's videos for a long time (about 1.5 years). I used to listen to philosophy audiobooks in English and always wished for someone to make videos on philosophy in Hindi for Indian audience. When I found Faraz's channel, my interest in philosophy increased dramatically, even more than when I listened to those audiobooks. Even in 2024, philosophy is not mainstream in India, but Faraz is changing that. He is promoting philosophy culture in India, and I believe he will be well known for his contributions to this field.
I bumped into Desi philosophers channels randomly when I was searching about Friedrich Nietzsche. And Thanks to Pranav he started pushing me towards rationality
i have loved camus' philosophy + existentialism since i was in 9th. seeing him know about him just makes me so happy! thanks pranav for introducing him to me and us viewers!!!!!
I am a philosophy student. I've always wanted to create a youtube channel with my learnings, but found out not much can be done in this field. I watched Desi Philosopher at his earlier stage and recently re-started following him. Now his videos give me inspiration to at least start.

@@Ozergomfsgt43 because by begin rational you have the best chance to do good for urself n those around you. For eg, following traffic rules is a rational thing to do, it ensures safety n order on the road. And there are plenty of irrational drivers out there who make Indian roads messy n unsafe.
I felt Faraz laid low when it came to communism. Sort of branching onto other topics rather than facing the topic at hand. I think communism shouldn't be seen as this devilish boogeyman but rather seen as a form of liberation. When I talk about communism I'm not talking about the totalitarian versions (stalinism) but rather a libertarian form of communism. I'm an open Marxist-Leninist and I'm not asking people to conform to this ideology but rather be open-minded enough to understand Communism as a form of libertarianism. It is supposed to free you from this capitalist dystopia that has associated every activity we do into a monetary transaction (be it, making money or spending it). Marx shouldn't be seen as the "most dangerous philosopher of all time" but rather, as someone who realized that the economic and political system that we've followed up until now is inherently exploitative and doesn't support the very people who keep it afloat, the working class. Sorry if I went on a tangent but I want people to openly advocate for it if they believe it's the right thing or idea instead of being very conservative about it.
Absolutely! We need more content on communism in india, people don't even know what is communism or socialism and treat it as some kind of unimaginable or utopian idea that is impractical.
@@zainsepticeye They don't know what it is and associate it with some form of satanism. I wish people in my country had the intellectual fervor to read a little. I bet you, 90% of the people who demonize communism/socialism or any leftist ideology are those who would advocate for it, if it wasn't called "communism". This word rings a million bells in people's heads and I wish instead of being reactionary, they actually pick up a book and read about it.
What sort of a rationalist will support an ideology whose practical application has consistently produced mass murder, repression and poverty? Communism is a bigger superstition than religion. A dangerous superstition which presents itself as a rational idea.
I am an atheist. I don't believe in the existence of God. There is insufficient evidence or rational justification to support the belief in any gods or supernatural entities. I rely on reason, logic, and empirical evidence to form my worldview and do not find compelling evidence or arguments to support the existence of god.
Ok, great to know you are an atheist, even i dont believe in this imaginary concept of God. But how do you take important decision of life such as which work to do, whom to marry with ( if you must ), etc..
@@shivangssinha1915 True, but the first and foremost thing is self knowledge. Understanding of the self. How does the ' ego ' operates. The self often uses logic and reason for its own justification often neglecting the facts and the truth. Love and Compassion forms the essence of being a human. Love, not only for fellow humans but for all species. I was just casually asking..
I am an Atheist . I became one since my school going age mostly influenced by my elder brother. But after listening to people like you, Maithreyan, Ravichandran etc my thoughts are absolutely clear now . BUT life of a female atheist in Indian middle class society is tough.
once, our students used to study the classics, geography , history in pursuit of excellence, and then, the UPSC would test their level of excellence. now, these subjects have become a handmaiden of success. something they need to learn by rote, a meaningless exercise whose only utility is to serve as content for the exams. Bring back the practice of learning in pursuit of excellence, pursuit of indpendent thinking
Pranav, why don't you ask desiphilosopher to do a reaction video to the 2 hour long video by rohanxdavis on Understanding Caste in India? You liked that video very much. Why don't you get another's opinion?
you might enjoy talking to Kushal Mehra (The Carvaka Podcast) as well. you may not agree with his political view, but will be an interesting conversation

I think you are misunderstanding what philosophy of religion is. It's not theology or religious philosophy. Philosophy of religion is about questioning religion. Atheists practice phil. of religion when they use reason and observation to argue for their position. You should interview someone who has an academic background.
If someone has read philosophy and have such facile views about religion then I feel he hasn't got much from Philosophy. So it's more lika a rambling of a smart educated teenager
@@satishmeetei839 Grow up man, not everyone wants to open up & speak when it comes to religion, his content does not preach religion don't you see & looking at this particular conversation it was kind of an introduction in my opinion.

Thanks Pranav bhai!
Enjoying the podcast so far! Good stuff man 👌
Thanks for coming on the show!
LETSSS GOOOOOOOO

This should be on main channel

For a moment I thought he was cosplaying. Even so, if it helps you grow there's something to be gained from playing a philosopher.
Lmao for real

When a youtuber has an oval face, long ass beard and circular glasses, you know they are upto something.
I hope this type of content will boom in india in few years 🎉🎉🎉
I learned so much from his videos as I have huge interest in philosophy and read many books.
I have already subscribed him after his pre Socratic lecture.
Looking at the thumbnail i thought you were talking to Dan Bilzerian
Here I'm watching from Nepal. And no doubt I really appreciate your work. Keep up the good work man.
BUT DON'T SHAKE THE CAMERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Me too
Faraz ki beard 😀❤️
unexpected collab
i have been watching him since a long time finally he is getting recognition
I am the subscriber of both channels
Why his face is so symmetrical 🗿
I doubt India will be different 50 yrs from now, if anything it will be worse wrt rationality , scientific tempermant, philosophy
Every moment diversifies everything, though I am not sure whether it will be as per the present expectations or not. It may turn better or worse 🤔
@@ytubeguruji863 a society that doesn’t spend on public health n education can only go one way, which is downhill.
