Manu is undoubtedly one of the assets of modern India, an astute observer and preserver of history. I am absolutely astounded every time I listen to and talk to him.

Pluralisms and diversity are embedded in the heart of Indians. Mainly, because the values of these qualities are described and educated by ancient Vedas. Perhaps, in the world history, incidents of accepting and encouraging diversity and pluralism may not be found in any country other than India. In modern society, the majority community in India creates hype and propagates diversity and pluralism, believing that Abrahamic religions appreciate these values in India/ world. The truth is that Abrahamic religious books teach the opposite values of pluralism and diversity. Abrahamic religions believe that " only Jesus/ Allah is the true God and only Christianity / Islam is the true religion" Therefore Abrahamic religions have prioritized to convert other religions to their religion as their duty to God. Thus, Abrahamic religions do not appreciate or believe in pluralism or diversity. There is a need to urgently teach Christians and Muslims , to start with in India, about necessity to accept all Gods and all religions and live and let live happily and together as one community. It is better such teachings are imparted to Abrahamic religions in all nations simultaneously to bring peace and harmony in all nations.

Seeing this now, after Bangladesh 🇧🇩 military coup incident...and islamic extremists attacking Hindus and their establishments. He is not right to think hindus are homogenous group. Hinduism itself is pluralistic, accomodates all religions and believes seeking truth in their own way. That is reason why we accomodated two other new religions christianity and islam. Will ever islam and Christianity become pluralistic?

54:12 Quite honest take. The only problem is when Hinduism becomes pan-Indian and there's erosion of local names, customs etc., it's lamentable loss of variety and diversity. But when Islam looks to Gulf and become Wahabised, it becomes antitehtic to local mooring - almost frustrating the very existence among infidels a misgiving. There's no equivalence in terms of the effect of external influence.

He’s one of the unbiased Historians in this generation shedding light to how the situations were. Indian past was not all positive as many glorifies it . A lot of people were oppressed, no food , no education, untouchability, no proper healthcare and imagine only one category of people were able to have better life than all the others just based on they were born in a caste that was considered upper.

These aren’t stories to be appreciated but history and reality. Culture is deeply rooted and part of our identity. That is where the secure mentality of Malayali comes from. It’s been a bit tarnished by confusions created in recent years, mostly because of ignorance I must say on how religions come about. I am a Syrian Christian myself . It is St Thomas the Apostle preached and few families adopted Christianity. As he said there is no one type. The influences of local culture are deeply rooted and part of our identity.
