The failure of Congress and the liberals to understand that Hinduism is a very impressive part of Indian civilisation and the disdain with which the left liberals treated Hindu traditions gave space to the BJP to stand as the sole representative of Hinduism.

"All Talk & No Action" is Pavan V as a politician....or Most of the Opposition parties in INDIA.

We should have thrown out Nehruvian thoughts. This man has caused lots of harm to our country’s past… So sad

Kashmiri Pandit Exodus needs to be added in that list after 37mins..

Mr Varma can win English debates but needs to start winning elections too. The current Congress has adopted communism and leftist ideology which is not suitable for a civilisational country like Bharatam.

Nitish kumar = India's Barack Obama 😂😂😂😂

With all due respect to Mr Varma, there will always be a section of ultra right people who are beyond reasoning but anyone would be foolish enough to think that everyone who vote for the BJP can be categorised as them. Even today, the battle for mathura and Gyanvapi is being fought in the court, not on the streets.Only after 70 years and with a non-left government aft the centre do we see a possibility of a uniform civil code. A woman recieved rape and death threats to the point that she can't walk freely without fear in our country for correctly quoting something and even that in response to someone who was maligning her faith. Those who supported her on social media had their head chopped off. There is a reason people have shown their back to the left, for 70+ years we have seen appeasement in the name of secularism, nothing else. As for the whole caste barriers, since independence the Hindus accepted every reforms including the rights of Dalits, OBC and the backward class and weren't against the reservation either. What about the discrimination in Islam? We know what's happening to Shia and Ahmedias in our neighborhood. What reforms did the governments so far make for them to progress? Triple talakh was abolished a few years back by an "anti-muslim" party according to the left. What about the waf act? The left has done nothing but keeping this specific community poor to get their votes while showing them the fear of this hindu party who want to eradicate them from the country.

You were doing very well until you came to the DMK. The DMK is castiest anti Brahmin and anti Dalit party. When Stalin junior insulted Satatana dharma he meant Hindus not caste. What’s more Pawanji knows this but was playing politics.

Very nice discussion. Mr Pavan Varma offered some very insightful perspective into current political affairs.

Listening to Pawan jee is always a pleasure. I am impressed with his knowledge of Hinduism. It feels bad when Peoole like Pawan jee have ti shake hands with politicians like Laloo prasad to save Nitish's Chair.

What a man. He is wonderful, and we more pragmatism in non-BJP people like these. Through that only the ultra RW can be countered!

TN is a land of Hindu believers! Main vote bank is not Muslim or atheist! It’s the non Brahmin, non Dalit Hindu vote bank! They are not against a MBC/ BC from any party including BJP! DMK plays to this votebank! If there is a good leader like Annamalai from the BC/ OBC community, they can defeat DMk

Wow...Pawan ji is a treasure trove of knowledge. Loved the questions posed by Barkha. Great interview.

Rss does not believe in caste. Please correct yourself

"Ekam Sath ViprAh bahudhA vadanthi" should not be equated with common misrepresentation that all religions say the same thing, because the implied meaning is that truth as understood in its absolute sense is only one and can have multiple views which are unifying and inclusive not exclusive!

It’s only when some diplomats resign and join politics,that bring them in public life, that people get an idea about what kind of idiots handle our diplomatic system.

I can remember Rahul’s statements about Pandavas in Kurukshetra. Totally a laughing stock

At 40.12 when he gives the reason for Hindu back lash he forgets one more reason the Hindu temple act again the Hindus feel why was this applied to only Temples but not to churches or Mosques leading to free temples call

"he is well intentioned" as if that is an achievement

I am so much liking these conversations. Thank you Barkha 🙏

Pawan sounds like the BJP. The new mantra seems to be to wear the saffron and take the initiative out of the BJP’s hand by simultaneously chanting secularism. He gives us away when he says that Stalin is not criticizing Sanatana Dharma. What a convoluted man … tries to be everything for everyone. Chameleon?

Anyone who thinks Raga is very intelligent but just not a 24*7 politician is a pappu himself. Pawan Verma is one pappu with polished English and good knowledge on Hinduism. He doesn’t stand a chance in front of BJP

PK is walking for the last 18 months not for “understanding” the villages of Bihar but for making a support base of his own. It is difficult or impossible for a newcomer to have any chance of victory in Bihar where people votes only on the basis of caste. Hope PK will succeed at anytime in future.

Pawan Verma at his erudite best! Rare thinker of today. Balanced always. BJP should make use of his intellectual ability.

Soniaji should attend just to be a part of the new begining to that divine place. Hope she changes her mind.

Gandhi was the dollower of a Jain monk. The Jain monk was his guru. Srimad Rajchanda, From him came the concept of non violence.

Excellent interview 🎉🎉

Mr Varma is not clear about Tamil nadu politics yet . Such a knowledgeable person not having clarity about the anti nationals who supported continuity of British raj.

Brilliant

Shame on INDI alliance including Khangress.

This time, Pavan had toned down this negative views on Hinduism & BJP probably to ensure his new book has better sales😂😂😂

My fav man Mr.Pawan the most brilliant & well aware politician🎉

Just like Centre revoked Statehood of J& K , centre must revoke statehood of Bihar to industrialize the state

Barkha ji I wish you arrange similar interview with Yashwant Sinha and Yogendra Yadev Eagerly looking forward Thank you

First ask Nitish kumar to take care of bimaru bihar before thinking of big dreams 😂

Please when Mr.Kharge stood next to Rahul he became. next. .The Hindu epics and every thing related to them is about life Earth et el. .Souch do that it can be simplified in to a comic book. .Avery user-friendly way of handing over to the next generation. .

One of the best podcasts in recent times where the guest has given us so much to contemplate about our great civilization!

Background music is very loud...

These are people who can see both sides and understand culture

Thanks for bringing Pavan Verma, an erudite, thinking politician.

This guy is a Moden day Subramaniam Swamy with good command on English....

Varma is well informed about our culture.

He should be in BJP. He is wasting his time in corrupted parties now.

The earliest reference of Ram is from Valmiki Ramayan In Valmiki Ramayan Ram is referred as Maryada Purshotm which means a Dignified man a elevated person . He is not projected as God . Was made into a God sometime during the Puranic era that is around 1950 ----1400 years ago. Also all religions are Man made So whether or not Ram is a God is a matter of personal opinion and personal faith

A guy who leaves a party because the party supports CAA is a pro Islamist, anti Hindu Period.

All politicians must be virtuous, humble, caring, selfless and devoid of any greed and corruption. For good administration he must read, study and meditate on the Bhagwat Geeta, Holy Bible and Holy Quoran then only will we see good governance. Darryl-Arambol

As always, great to listen to Mr. Verma. I have a simple question for the "Liberal, Intellectuals". And Barkha m'am - i might be interesting to do a show on that. How do you define the civilization of this land, the only suriviving bronze age civilization ? This is not a post 1947 phenomenon. This has been there for 1000s of years (may be 10s of thousands of years). Even if you can, can you de-couple it from Hinduism? And just because you can't de-couple, do you want to erase the past of our civilization ?

Ramayan is a fiction that was the imagination of a human. It could be considered as the heritage of the Aryans. It is a racist fiction. Like all literature, it reflected the state of the society. Since the society itself was a racist society, it is no surprise that the fiction is also racist. The dravidians, tribals and the original inhabitants of the subcontinent have no allegiance to this racist fiction. So this cannot be considered as a heritage of India. The racism which was imposed by the Aryans continues to be the curse of India even today. So we should divorce this literature from the idea of India.

Ramayan is a purely a comic book for children

Oh Lord Ram! So Pawan Verma and Pk are going to launch another, "better" Congress, as Kejriwal did?!

Nitishwa = barak obama yes, they both are more noise less work.. 😂

Pawan Verma is a failed politician. Sacked uncermenously by his own mentor. Prashant Kishore is wise enough to keep him at arms length from Jansuraj 😂

These new parties wont get traction. Too many nonsensical parties already with no road map

Jab hindu dharam hi ni bachega toh caste ka kia hum achaar dalange this is our fight for sanatan civilization we will not divide into caste

I would recommend everyone to read his books, the best books i have come across for Hindus and Hindu Civilization.. You may disagree with him politically but his grip on Hinduism is mind boggling

One who doesn't believe in the existence of god and hence doesn't worship is called an ATHEIST. The opposition leaders have boycotted the inaugural function of Lord Ram temple at Ayodhya due their own valid reasons. At the most at the worst situation they can be termed as ATHEIST. But BJP is making , as usal FALSE PROPAGANDA stating that they are ANTI HINDUS. It is disgraceful that BJP that too cabinet ministers level stoop so low , lower oneself , far below their positions and rank , make indecently FALSE PROPAGANDA. But unfortunately this is very usual for them always distracting / diverting the issue. Alas , it is also disgraceful that , whose status and standard has to be maintained by the so called world leader is a SILENT SPECTATOR .

I found it a bit absurd that Pawan Varma connected the support of Khilafat movement by Gandhi or the Moplah riots or the Hindu code bill to stoking feelings of victimization and resentment against minority appeasement among Hindus. Most of the Hindus wouldn't even be able to tell the years when these things happened. Especially in the Hindi heartland, where BJP is the strongest. Next, there is absolutely no mention of economic factors in fueling the rise of communalism. The state of unemployment and underemployment may well have made the youth frustrated and contributed to their radicalization. Add to that the huge income and wealth inequality which makes them feel left behind in the march of progress and development. As for the negligence of our glorious ancient past, no one even knows even the so-called leftist history written after independence. Thanks to the shambolic education system and the negligence of subjects of humanities. Lastly, no opposition party and no politician, however well read, can defeat the BJP in its own game. So, using Hinduism to counter hindutva is just wishful thinking at best and delusion at worst.

A red faced Pawan Kumar defending Pappu..what a sad state for him.

"lohe ko loha kat ta hai" you know.. imagine if those "unreasonable' karsevaks would have not done what they did, do you think we would be having our Ram temple as it is now?

This was a very good interview, and this is what a centrist hindu want in its leadership and right now for lack of better alternative BJP is most optimally representing it..

If congress stood for unity why was there so much strife under congress rule.

Is Lord Ram only for Hindus ? Or was He for the whole universe doesn't matter what their religion, caste, race or gender is ? Would He have told people that destroy that specific mosque over there and build my temple at that exact spot ?

Barkha your new haircut resembles you to Lisa Ray's character in Water movie

I think half baked intellectuals like him do more bad than a outright communal person like owaisi ...pawan khera like people put peoplee in confused state

Failure Nitesh who not been able to develop Bihar for 10 to 15 years and Lalu Prasad Yadav and this PKS Prashant Kishore Sharma is not able to develop its states and they want to lead the country. what a shame if we Indians all over country accept them as to lead country. first do some work in Bihar.

Was Kritha yuga possible.people are against science.

Wonder who are the New sponcerers for Barkhas channels..So many stories of Ram Mandir..like other 99.9% Indian Godi Media.

The counter idea is accept that you were practicing psudo secularism, change your behavior, be genuine about it and create your manifesto based development rather than the charade of death of democracy and secularism. It will take some time but the current behavior of either faking it or digging your hills is only going to strengthen BJP. Until you do that you will only win on anti-incumbency, not on your merit.

You joined the TMC. End of story and your credibility. You should be ashamed for joining hands with the worst in politics who has made Bengal an embarrassment.

Mr Verma is an excellent orator but does not have the foresight, otherwise he wouldn't have joined TMC. He failed in his political career. But a fantastic political analyst . Not more than that

Considering his knowledge, is Sri Pawan Verma ignoring the fact of discrimination and hatred in different followers of Islam …. He says Hinduism discriminates …..and ignores the fact of reformation and evolution of thoughts too….BTW😊 what’s wrong with Amarchitra katha stories for kids or even for adults ?

Barkha... I want to take this opportunity to say a few Frank things to u directly. I have followed politics in India from 1990s. And there was a time when whatever was thrown at us we used to absorb it as there was no other option. Later we reached a stage where I found u to be very divisive and bitter including many at ndtv. Hearing you made me think was it personal frustration which is showing up on screen from ur end. I also want to say, bjp coming to power at center has helped us find our roots and realities which is the need to preserve our culture,and our sanatana Dharma and reintroduce it to the masses in an open way which will keep this country healthy. Speaking of Shankaracharya is positive. I want you to come out of the baggage u have been carrying intentionally or unintentionally and let's all work for the success of this country.. The central.govt is doing everything needed to make this country a successful state. I want u to do the same using ur influence and reach out to govt and they will be more than welcome to provide u the support u need. I now watch Mojo channel for the quality of content seen with Mr.pavan Verma today. Frank, positive, non-divisive, logical, dharmic. If u keep doing good work, even a strong bjp supporter like me will positively follow u. Let's not take the path of divisions again. Also, we shld not support congress party who can do things which r against the nation to gain power. I wouldn't stand for it for one moment.. even u shld fight against it for a better tomm. I see a positive note on ur face and in ur eyes now. Allow people to trust i again.

Congress only concern Muslim vote not majority people and country.

empty vessel make more noise. these guys will never get out of their own thoughts. Both are just debaters, no benefit for anyone.

He surely needs the support of miyas if he wants to get 20 votes.

His will reigns who will step inside a temple!

Why does this guy smiles out of nowhere while speaking.

Watch ths video and then follow this scondrel.

This guy has always cut a sorry figure while debating with real intellectuals. Always and always. Observe his wry smile when bringing points to suit the occasion.

Waqf board laws bhe sir

He may be well versed in Hindu scriptures but it is the common man of India through centuries who has kept Hinduism alive maybe by superstition or by rituals perhaps not even fully understanding the base of the these is rooted in a vast knowledge

Pavanji, lot of respect for u. But its ironical that u took decades to realize nitish not moving. Why people believe u now with new outfit...u will say sorry again after decades. Bottomline past credentials r important for fresh chance.

Communist Pavan Verma talks about breaking the law. Except people from his favorite community (Muslims) are the ones who break laws at every opportunity.

His entire resume sounds like he’s a political broker moving from one client to another!

Think of the party set up by Yogendra Yadav. Will your party not meet the same fate as the party of Yogendra Yadav?

Why Verma doesn’t suggest different leader for TMC rather than Mamata and for APp some one other than kejriwal! As far as congress is concerned there are brilliant politicians to choose their leaders! Congress doesn’t need Mamata, kejriwal and pavan Verma to choose their leader!

Congress ko nafrat karne ke bohat karan hai aur modi ko piyar karne ke bohat karan hai

Pro congress Barkha ji please speek less and lets guest talk express more.

Islam does not respect other faiths at par/equal level to itself. There is no evidence of Mohamad championing a plurality of faiths. So why should kuffar faiths have respect for Islam & Mohmad? But these two dhimmis will not ask this basic question.

This guy is very overrated and basically a more refined version of Rahul Gandhi

Pavan Verma is better off as a author. No one cares for him as a politician

Nothing but left meltdown

He is wise and ibtteligent.but not fit for politics

The decision of the Congress to refrain from attending the consecration of Ram Mandir challenges their ostensible secular values Lord Ram's values are not the intellectual property rights of the BJP alone. They belong to the Hindu segment of 1.44 million Indians. They do not wish to play second fiddle to the BJP in Ayodhya but, truly speaking, do they have any other choice? It is better to live in reality than in Utopia - it just doesn't not work for the Congress in this juncture of Indian history

Pavan and his self-styled allies like Pappunidhi who Pavan gives a certificate of not being anti-Hindu purely because TN has a lot of Hindu temples should realize that in the name of secularism which they say they love, they can only demand reformation within Hinduism if they also demand reformation in Islam or other religions.

We have bevome kattar sanatani because of islamic jihad policy agar ab bhi hum nahi bolee toh gazwa hind hoga first say to muslims change there naaritve

जिस चैनल के वीडियो पर 1000 व्यू भी नही आ रहे हैं वो खुद को बेस्ट चैनल बता रहे हैं। अब या तो ये खुद पागल हैं या भारत की जनता पागल है। मुझे तो ये खुद ही पागल लगते हैं 😂😂😂😂

Barkhaji, if any of ur guests call bhagwan ram as a fictional character..i will give an order equivalent of fatwa against u

To me you both are reading or distorting history wrong. Just inspired to jump upon not BJP but Modi bandwagon. You both seems to be victim of continuous communal propoganda. Hindus were never neglected rather they have always been vanguard of all the progressive movements in the history of India. Hindus are playing this progressive role but not as Hindus. They are playing this role as Indians or as human mass. This elevating tendency of Hindus has always been disliked and opposed by communal people, may they be Hindus or Muslims. Communal Hindus ie Hindutwa wadis are propogating wrong and false ideas with the help of state power.

U have been a shameful exponent of foreign service
