Razib has a great sense of humor. Your smartest guest yet.

Great listening to Razib from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Razib is super honest. It takes immense courage to be honest these days when just about anything can get you cancelled.

The woke stuff is mainly in 5 countries mainly 5 white Anglo nations. Canada United States, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom are all tier one Anglo nations and all share identical academic viewpoint. India is more like a 2nd or 3rd tier Anglo nation. Via imperialism. The woke Anglo can export and subvert 2nd and 3rd tier Anglo nation into woke ideology.

This was a good video learned a lot, Razib articulated his thoughts very well and his analysis on various issues was also good.

Razib is the first happy n funny Bong intel i have encountered till date. Rest all are sad, cribs; mostly complaining or moralising.

Interesting conversation b/n you two. Invite Razib more often

I throughly enjoyed listening to this podcast with Razib Khan. Love how clear his thought process is.

Giving Like just for mentioning "Havard School of Journalism" 😂😂

Rajib ji.. Nobody is "crying" about what the mughals did here, we are only exposing them more n more, cos first of all most of true history was hidden n secondly Islamists take pride n inspiration from the mughal atrocities to attack their own Hindu "brethrens". .. I hope m clear n others would agree, plz correct me if m wrong!

After seeing razib meanwhile yogiji aaj se tumhara nam -rajebaleshwar.

How is West Bengal more outward (intl.) looking Abhinav ? It's just a miniscule elite (

You caught my attention with that title. Nice!😄

Great points Razib, especially what you mentioned about POC, and as always love your content and questions Abhinav ji. Please keep bringing more interesting people ( who are not political) and ask them questions :)

In next podcast ask razib , why so many indian still feel inferior when it come to amercia ?

Ironically it is....... Economy is almost recovering from the ventilator. Hindutva is like a paper without any economic returns.... And we must keep in mind that India has a diverse population. We cannot let that down. Are there problems with that?? Well yes. But not everything is bad....... We must see into our pages too. I support BJP, but want something new. Yes, calamities will come!!! And they will come without any notice. And we want to see a the skill of the govts to maneuver through turbulence.

Abhinav are you Bangali? Namaskar from this Bangali brother from Bangladesh Respectfully, 1. Pakistan has significant separatist/nationalist underlying problems, their mini empire / afghan policy can be seen as a diversion and to channel possible separatist energies esp of pathans outward. The same thing with sending out fundies outside, it makes sense for Pakistan. Their political formula for good or ill is based on islam as a state ideology to centralize state authority and exporting fundies helps them get rid of potential problems who can cause trouble inside... and thus fundies becomes a tool of the state to activate as needed. This has been overall a good thing from the perspective of having a strong and healthy state which can override the many cracks and cleavages in Pakistan. 2. Economically Pakistan is aligned with China, with all that entails, and as china sets new milestones Pakistan can ride it's coattails. 3. Geopolitically by cultivating relationship with China even when china was down and out, Pakistan has bet on the right horse. The west is not the future and neither are it's ideological products. 4. On the contrary Pakistan's policy while being aggressive and quasi expansionist is in fact totally logical, their focus is limited, their projects are limited, their ability to play the superpowers against each other and get the best deal is smart. On the contrary Pakistan knows it's limitations and uses what it has seemingly very efficiently, even their defense projects are limited but effective, there's a trend there. At any rate i respectfully disagree with the assessment of Pakistan. 5. On Bangladesh, it's an ethnostate that's the biggest thing going for it. It took a long time to get going, i think partially because Bangladesh is the lesser part of historic Bengal. Compared to West Bengal and adjacent areas to the west in india, Bangladesh not too long ago was a massive fishing hole. For what it's worth unfortunately the better part of Bengal is in India.

Razib gives a different outlook to specific topics. It's great listening to him.

We Hindus should work hard to become economic and military superpower rather than living in the past absolutely agree with Rajib

First to comment !! :) Abhinav, Razib and Kushal... always great to listen to you guys and more the merrier .. always learning from you guys. Thank you very much. Good to hear that there cannot be a woke Ram Mohan Roy .. no woke coconuts !!! One less vector worry.

Very interesting perspective. I loved his interview and the previous session yoi did with him too

Fantastic analysis!

Commenting only because Razib said he reads the comments😁 Great to hear both of you. Very educative when it comes to different perspectives. Waiting for more similar discussions.

Razib K always has sharp insights. I enjoy listening to him. I am of course saying this because RK reads youtube comments. : )

Refreshing 👍

No one talks of downfalls of civilizational state

Razib khan is the most interesting gem on the internet i found during this pandemic...

I love listening to Rajib, very clear in his thought.

This is so funny. Gotta love Razib 😎

Always a pleasure to see Razib on this podcast.

Great talk as usual Abhinav and Razib(you are great on CH as well). @Abhinav : could you host a talk on why the awakening of sense of history and finding their place in the world is seemingly happening now in Indians. Secondly how Indians can become more confident to not become colonized by western intellectualism. Indians are doing this now a little and need to more in terms of asserting their ideals.

31:45 pak does not even have an oppurtunity to fail. Thats a statement that can only come from a mind that knows its subject. Quite deep.

Razib is a gem.

I was always thinking the same. actually being woke as an Indian is understanding we are the oppressed indigenous people. However as Razib Rightly said the people who is giving the seal of approval of wokism will not care abut any facts. its all about the narrow minded narrative from an average American experience.

Great video and let's hope the superficial wokeness goes away as soon as possible.

*Hey Razib,* *Say-Jai Shri Ram-the next time and every time just like you said in Kushal's podcast. Thank you for talking so honestly and bringing new and unbiased points to the table.*

Simply superb

We love razib.

Razib should be made an honorary Hindutva nationalist.

Good Conversation

This guy is profound.!

One of the crucial point, they think by criticising India they will get work in abroad and good money. See example of Kunal Kamra got to work for NYT

Interesting perspective by razib Khan on wokism and implications of its adoption in non US setting. Please invite Madhukishwar ji.

Very honest intellectual

Jai hind bro

Hey Razib! A question out of interest: what motivated you to post a picture on twitter, as you mention in this video, of a pig with a quran in its mouth in the first place? I mean, it would be such a provocative and offensive act towards any religious community - replacing the quran with the bhagavad geeta, guru granth sahib, or the torah etc would be received in no different light - that I feel puzzled about what may have motivated you. Especially given your grip on social and cultural issues sensitives, as it appears to be, one would normally expect a more empathetic approach? Curious to know; would be lovely if you responded. Thanks, and keep up your interesting works!

Razib is clear, logical and to the point. Very refreshing to watch. Abhinav puts people at ease with his demeanor and gets more information. Good job guys.

Pakistan controls Eurasian landmass grip - Geostrategic Location

For once I agree

what a man❤❤❤

Thank you Anubhav for introducing Razib to viewers. I love his wit, wisdom and knowledge. I think i'm now cementing my thoughts on why west hate Hindus. Then i connect it with what Modi is doing regarding Kashi, Ayodhya and economy of $5/10 trillion and i kinda get the point on what needs to be done on sitting at the high table with west

The Hindi problem I 100% agree. In Kerala, Karnataka, TN etc Hindi was never used anywhere, ever. Not part of any of our culture ever. on the other hand Sanskrit was the language of academia and intelligentsia. Sanskrit Yes, Hindi NO!.

Based Razib! 15:20

Very interesting view Razib, please continue to be objective. In India, our common gripe of Muslims, is that we cannot have an open discussion or a discussion with logic. A Hindu will easily consider a view point that he or she is wrong (if you see Church planted Indologists, this was done on a massive scale over a period of time) and feel shame whereas a Muslim will never consider an opposing view point. Hinduism is all about objectivity and merits, I enjoy hearing your informed view points. Sometimes I feel all of India’s Hindus are like the frog in a well who see only the sky the well permits and thinks its the universe. I wish more Hindus read vs view videos or graduate from WhatsApp university.

Hi Razib, hope that you are reading comments, does your name come from the word Rajiv or do the two have the same origin? Do you know? :)

22:20 the reactive focus and lack of positive vision is seen in other ways as well. E.g. whenever BJP shortcomings or misrule happen, instead of trying to improve the BJP, the reaction of the right is always to point to how much worse Congress is.

Woke hierarchy was very insightful!! Also its value for a particular class of Americans ... good analysis! 👌 Rajib must be reading about Jati/ Varna.... but what meaning is he making out of it?? You need to read Rajiv Malhotra on the caste system and the value it provided to Indian society. Todays US/Europe has a varna system. Why should it be so difficult to understand? Also Rajib, please challenge yourself on this endogamy theory. Make a flowchart to identify weak links in your theory... i wish I had time to read a completely new area ... 🙁

25:29 I didn't expect breakup advice from Razib in the middle of this podcast

Razib sir's accent do gives us the delight of wannabe wokes in India.(*_*)

He is so logical and funny as well

Razib any dna studies related to mahabharat ?

👍👍👍

Hello Abhinav, I am big big fan of your channel, I can’t support you in any way other than like, share and subscribe. I watch every video completely. Thanks for wonderful meaningful content.

School of journalism in Harvard.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

👍🙏

Hey Razib if you're reading the comments what are your thoughts on "Mulla Modi!"?

👍

Razib and herald baldr looks indistinguishable when they smile

I hate these trans generational trauma thing, I mean after 600 years of successful resistance and we are for god's sake world's 3rd largest religion.

21:07 Ppl have started making fun of slam and tbh had always made fun of slim It's obvsly not done on thr face cuz it's impolite and illegal (blasphemy is illegal by the law in India)

Now that Razib mentioned in his last podcast, Abhinav's cheek do look like Rasagulla! I heard the podcast with "Tony", my god was that hard to listen to, I would love to get hear an articulate anti BJP person point out the policies government implemented to qualify BJP being facist coz I haven't heard any. BTW try to get Alexei Arora or something like him an expat from a non US or non anglo country.

Yes.. Exactly.. We are spreading Jagriti and getting Jagrit... got it?

Obsession with history is also because of supression, distortion of history and lack of ackwnedgement.

IT minister ka account block kar diya tha twitter ne lagta hai abhinav ka agla video is topic par hoga,

plainnn truthhhhhhhhhhhhh

Razib aint a historian or something but his points are always logical and straight to point. Abhinav prakash's guests are always highly intelligent people.

Razib Khan is the Hindu intellectual we never had....

The most important thing he said was to become rich and powerful. Unfortunately, the west won’t allow this. They’ve made the rules of the game and they’re happy so long as you follow them (and know your place). If you attempt to create a parallel power structure. Expect a challenge and be prepared to defend it. But this alternative needs to be defined and be consistent. Personally, I think the subcontinent (India and Pakistan specifically) cannot be successful until they overhaul their justice system and make the locals believe that they can get justice. Everything follows from that. Also, politicians need to realise that are they playing T-20 (short term), one days (medium term) or test matches (long term). If you want to be successful, you need to focus on being successful in the long term whilst protecting the short term and medium term. So sometimes, politicians need to play the gentleman’s game, accept losses graciously and agree to fight another day. If they are constantly just focused on the short term, you’ll never get out the rut. If you give the opposition the chance to believe they have a chance at power, they are less willing to play dirty and start playing it as a zero sun game.

I think he is more of an acquired taste, he is right though that Hindu nationalists are reactive still and rather focus on our future story.

So it’s like it’s never good enough?

Omg...this guy is too funny!!!

a) I don't like how sure this guy is of everything he says. A genuinely bright, wise thinker is never 'that' sure of himself. He talks like his opinion is 'it' on these matters. For example, the woke thing is not necessarily limited to their history, wokism is not necessarily strictly a white phenomenon even if it essentially is. The western empire actively seeks and tries to manufacture a following around the world and there are always subcultures and thoughts within every such weltanschauung. Humility, questioning oneself, etc...just not the case with this guy, and b) He's a bangladeshi american that spends an extraordinary amount of time following Indian content so there is that relation there. Wonder what he thinks of himself as...originally a Hindu who converted (because he looks like a Dinesh to me)...is there a long lost link and affinity with India that it still feels like home to him coz it does seem there's still a very strong connection...does he somewhere feel like he's becoming a born again Hindu even?...the hindutva reawakens in him as it does all over India? and one thing that I would like to say is that there was a point where he said that Hindus get very uncomfortable when you talk about Muslims or criticizing them...his opinion was that it's because of past traumas...having lived in India all my life and having had these discussions for so many years...my experience has been that people are genuinely inclusive and accepting and genuinely respect other cultures at heart...the hate comes largely as a response to perceived and often genuine bigotry from the other side...even in RSS...it is mostly resentment for past evils...like imagine Jews being told Hitler was a great king that did great good to the Jewish state and it was thanks to him Jews found a nation and then lauded him as the father of Israel etc...it's going to make people angry...also...i dont like like how immature and nascent this guy is in his thinking even though he is knowledgable...his mental age is still of a college sophomore to quite an extent. so in case you're reading Razib...do let me know what you think in a genuinely polite fashion...also...trying to make sense of you...you're a bangladeshi living in America and spend a whole lot of time following Indian politics...works in genetics and not a true blue muslim at heart because of the retaliation mentioned in tweets n stuff....so culturally an Indian and American with ethnic roots in Bangladesh...

Hinduism isn't predicated on Varana intertwined Jatti that's not required VARANA IS BASED ON EDUCATION AND THE QUALITIES OF THE INDIVIDUAL IF YOUR FATHER IS A DOCTOR DOESNT MAKE YOU A DOCTOR

Razib has a very white pill vibe to him... bordering on red but still white

Religious intolerence,extremism Nd attack on Hindus Nd inequality is on rise in Bangladesh.

Too many of ads sir

Is that self flagellating brown Hindu Masterji (Proffessor hic) from Brown University Sri Varshney?

I have been saying what Razib said, but differently, the progressive Indian community have always associated itself with the modern powerful global entity, for example - Gandhi, who according to the Arthur Herman's book, believed he was a Brit before he was thrown off the train in South Africa because that's what well-read Indians do, they lap onto the strongest entity. And, now they have started to associate themselves with the Americans, and in Delhi where I live if you hear people talk, they try to sound like Americans and for example will say Zed for Zee, particularly if they are in their mid 20's, because of globalization and the internet. The amount of self loathing is very sad.

I don't know why but I persistently feel that whatever may be the appearances of current reality, one day Bangladesh, Pakistan and Bharat are going to be united as Akhand Bharat.

'Cash'- mir lmfao

While we talk about Bangladesh's economic growth, we don't talk about why Bangladeshis are still crossing over to India and the diminishing population of Hindus. Isn't these related?

😅

22:50 Well, Sanskrit was to the Indian continent what Latin was to Europa - the intellectual link language. Considering Modern India is not an ethnic state like the European ones (it's a civilizational State), it must've adopted Sanskrit as its national language - after simplifying the grammar & expanding the vocabulary - like the Chinese & Israelis did.

Odd that the utube ads were demands to give money to 'Islamic relief'. Just a note. At least they were not 'buy this car'. Otherwise, I understand none of this. None.

To me, it appears that he talks their language

"Be proud of what you did to them." ~ Razib Khan Lmao

Sach bol ne gand mein dum chahiye. Hats off to Razib!!!

Bangladesh is doing good because there is a good leader and also good relationship with with India, USA. If jamat and bnp govt come in Bangladesh than you see actual development.

bring alexii arora again

Indian continent
