    The Controversial Nature of Intellectual kshatriya | Rajiv Malhotra at CoHna -CYAN

    The ContrThe Controversial Nature of Intellectual kshatriya | Rajiv Malhotra at CoHna -CYAN (Cohna Youth Action Network) An insightful keynote by Rajiv Malhotra, founder of the Infinity Foundation, at the CoHNA 2024 event, where he explores the essence of being different, the power of controversy, and the need for resilience in challenging established paradigms.

Drawing parallels to figures like Jesus Christ, Buddha, and Gandhi, Malhotra highlights the necessity of intellectual disruption and resilience when confronting opposition. He also addresses key themes in Hindu philosophy, leadership, and combating "Hinduphobia" in academia and society, while introducing the Diksha Academy, a platform for training future intellectual Kshatriyas. Through this talk, gain insight into Hinduism's modern relevance and the challenge of defending cultural identity against adversarial forces.

    Waqf Mortmain, Islam and Politics | Satya Samvad EP 20

    Expressions of universal principles are seen in empirical phenomenology just as expression of spirituality are seen in religion. Imagine a system where land is not just property but an endowment under religious trust, wielding significant social and political power handled by selected few — this is the concept of Waqf, now at the heart of fierce debates surrounding the Waqf Bill in India. Waqf, rooted in Islamic law (Quranic attestation is contested), involves dedicating property for religious or charitable purposes under Waqf boards, which today control vast estates worth billions. However, the controversy goes beyond land and legalities, touching upon deeper philosophical questions embedded in Bharatiya thinking—where do the lines between the spiritual and the material, the communal and the personal, blur. The debate around the proposed Waqf Bill 2024 highlights these ongoing tensions, while also raising questions about transparency, governance, and the role of religious endowments in a secular state. At its core, it invites a broader reflection on the intersection of spirituality and physicalism, urging us to rethink our relationship with land, power, and communal responsibility—challenging us to redefine what it means to own, manage, and serve in the complexities of modern India.

    The Myth of Dharmic Majoritarianism | Satya Samvad EP 19

    Democracy is meant to reflect the will of the people, yet when demographic segmentation is weaponized, this often fuels the politics of projection. Fault-lines are drawn to define the exercise of othering: us vs them. At the heart of global debates about power, identity, and democracy, lies the concept of majoritarianism. In an era where the voices of majorities are often framed as inherently oppressive, it's easy to overlook the complexities that shape these narratives. But what if, in various contexts, the idea of a "tyranny of the majority" is not just oversimplified, but fundamentally flawed? In this episode of Satya Samvad, we explore these questions through the lens of the book The Majoritarian Myth by Prof. Kausik Gangopadhyay. This provocative book challenges the conventional understanding of majoritarianism, particularly in Bharat, where the term has become a buzzword for various sections of the political spectrum. The conception of linear theories of social evolution (LTSEs) and instances of conflict and polarization in modern society is deliberated on.  Battle For Consciousness Theory : battleforconsciousnesstheory.com Snakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.com Varna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.com The Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.com Power of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com 10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.com To support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do: इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/
