I was there among the audience. Many people have complained about cuts. Let me reveal this was because Makarand tried to derail the debate with his continous bickering which Shoma moderated with finesse. Javed Akhtar didn't utter a word to derail the debate while Makarand, as a man child he is, interjected, blabbered and misdirected multiple times. It was a masterclass in moderation by Shoma Chaudhury amidst such high level intellect of Javed Akhtar and cunningness + gaslighting with multiple terms and narratives by RSS spookie Makarand. Shoma Chaudhury hats off. Media editors and self professed high shot news anchors must watch and learn!🙏 PS: If whole video is released then believe you me, Makarand's image of being intellectual will vanish within seconds!
I am big fan of Javed Saheb. He always put very strong arguments for his case. However, in this debate, I particularly liked the role played by moderator. This was the best that this debate between two strong persons could be moderated.
Criticism of Islam and unprovoked violence against Muslims are two very different things. Javed Akhtar makes it clear. We can support the other and strongly condemn the other at the same time.

Wow, I feel Javedji is just superb, when makarandji was speaking, I was having the same impression that this man is somehow trying in vain to cover up and then when Javedji comes, he is so bang on and accurate. Just loved it 👍
Seriously Javed sir nailed it. Other debater's should prepare well. Speaking difficult words does not make any impression. So, Be simple and connect to the audience, do not speak to himself.

Mr Makrand was going so out of topic that it became a debate between him and the moderator first to make him understand the theme of the discussion and then to let him debate with Mr Javed.
Clubbing all the religions as the same, Hinduism is scientific and humanistic religion. Purpose of abrahmic faiths is to worship sky god and each of them claim their way is the only way and if you follow any other way the sky god is going to torture you till eternity. Hinduism is a humanistic religion which means its purpose is to help humans live a happier and moralistic life. Hinduism is also a scientific religion and based on sound philosophy of Upanishads & Gita. Hindu god will not punish you for not believing in him.
I always enjoy the talking skills of Mr Jawed Akthar. So practical, and enjoyable plus logical. May he live longer in good health for more entertainment for people.
As we all know, a prayer is a sincere plea to the Almighty for ourselves and others to seek His assistance, direction, protection, forgiveness, etc. Since faith is a fundamental prerequisite for asking or accepting prayer to Almighty, therefore, it's quite illogical to ask for a long life and health for Javed who does not believe in faith.
He was factually incorrect about Akbar Mughals , and manusmriti 😂you want to follow atheist who gives you reference while quoting follow the caravaka podcast
@@theacousticwolf Javed sahib was actually being nice not only to Makrand but to all British-created country called India. Why were kingdoms from Northwest ( current Pakistan) such as Maurya, Kushan, Dahir, Prithivi, etc., not considered invaders? Mauryans alone killed 30 million ganga jams and destroyed thousands temples of polytheists. They didn't know what hindusthan or India was. Ask south Indians. They hated Indus valley and its kings and refused to call themselves Indooz aka Hindus ( a name given by persians to ppl of Indus Sindh - now in Pakistan) until indra gandhi bombed the heck out of Tamil tigers twice. South Asia is a region and never a natural country. Whoever tried to unite it had to go through millions of deaths and 100's of wars. At the end of that kingdom this regions went back to its original position of over 50 historically, culturally, religiously, racially and linguistically separated nations. Remove British given army and then see your ekta and akhandta. The 1st ones to leave would be all Northeastern states.
@@neverEndingvoid525 you can't complain about his parents because they are not setting narrative in public meetings like javed. At least think before writing this kind of statement 🤦
Jawedji is extremely logical and bold. In current times he is the only person in the world who can call a spade a spade. He has guts. While most of the other participants in several such debates come with an agenda
anilshilpley5096 You're correct! He is exceedingly logical in diverting people away from the reality of their Creator, as seen by his oratory eloquence and illogical praise from the crowd, as well as his impish smile and twisted angles of his neck!
That's why he keep silent on Massacre of Hindu in Kashmir, Killings of Kannhya lal and maintained silence on Sar tan se Juda belivers.😂 he is garbage. Period.
It's not easy to be a moderator between these kinds of speakers and for this complex topic. Shoma Chaudhury did a fabulous job. 👏👏 And obviously it's a treat to listen to Javed Akhtar ❤
Shoma Chaudhary moderated the talk brilliantly, one of the rare occasions where the moderator knows the job and without taking sides seamlessly finishes such a controversial but important conversation between two intelligent people. It is very easy to agree with Javed Akhtar, i share most of it myself what he points out. He makes you understand why religion should not be followed blindly and the inherent problems of being religious. However, i can not dismiss most of the things Prof Markrand mentions. The position he takes in this discussion is the controversial one and he does it brilliantly with immense poise and without raising his voice even once. commendable to say the least and even at places where Javed Akhtar almost 'seduces' him to loose his demeanour, he resists in a very dignified manner, mostly with a smile and without interrupting the flow of conversation. A rare example of conversation between two different opinions without any chaos and adding to the content. a very good interaction and to my mind with no losers on either sides.
Did you see the video at all? The RSS guy clearly lost his poise multiple times 42:14 , 42:26 . Moreover he missed the theme of the debate here and is giving it a Hindu vs Muslim angle.

It is not your fault though. I this age where superficiality is at its peak, people take things at face value without trying to get deeper into the matter. If God exists, it’s sensible to accept that to u der stand HIM you will need to make an effort
Without any doubt, I can say that Javed Saheb is more knowledgeable than most of teachers of all the religions. I request that one religious meet sd be organised in an auditorium. Religious teachers sd be permitted to ask Javed Saheb their questions. Let it be continued for many days, entire Indian Public sd listen to it on TV. All the religious teachers would finally agree to Javed Saheb that humanity with logics/ reasoning is best way yo live on this earth. Hats off to Javed Saheb. Simply great.
Prof. Marakand is missing the theme of the debate here and is giving it a Hindu vs Muslim angle stating Hinduism is better while Javed Akhtar is condemning both the religions.
Javed sir trying to make the conversation between religion and atheist but makarand trying to pull the conversation into Hindu dharma and trying to make Hindu dharma is different and true
Hats off to Javed Sahab...for a branded Muslim to call out negatives is much more courageous...while Makarand sidelined the practice of A caste based Hindu society ...in all the thousands of years ...between the Vedic times and ....after
Javed Akhtar is ashamed of his religion and other abrahmic religions because they are based on dogmas and want their followers to blindly believe in their illogical theories and doctrines. So he calls himself an Atheist. But t at the same time he is egoistic and doesn't want to understand the beauty of Sanatan Dharm which implores a human to be a seeker, and promotes to seek truth with its philosophical logical knowledge. In Sanatan dharm karma is main thing which a human should perform. Javed Akhtar is either foolish not to understand the difference between religion (majhab) and Dharm or he is cunning enough to obfuscate peoples mind by bundling both as same.

Javed sahab is very clear with his thoughts and has the expertise in articulating the same. Whereas Mr. Makrand is playing with the fancy vocabularies, he is unable to connect the dots his thoughts are not channelized. Beating around the bush 😊😊

Beautifully debated by Dr Makarand paranjpe sir. I respect Javed sahab but he is really unaware of many historical facts about mughal. He himself said don't become others. What remains to debate after that.
Quotes.: I was reminded of a quotation by the famous American physicist, Steven Weinberg, Nobel Prize winning theoretical physicist. Weinberg said "Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. For good people to do bad things it takes religion
Quoting a famous personality doesn't prove anything. What is "good"? and what is "bad"? There's only "what is" on a purely nihilistic worldview because you cannot derive normativity from the fact that the world IS a certain way. Look up David Hume's 'IS-OUGHT' problem
@Paran953 Openheimer also quoted from Bhagvad Geeta and Erwin Shrodinger from Upanishads. Openheimer talked referred to Christianity and Judaism as those were the religions he was familiar with. How does that give you the license to quote him when you do not know that in what context he said it. You may want to impress the public by giving his name, but tell me what was his contribution to Physics?

Shoma Chaudhry is just AMAZING. What a dignified moderator. And how well she managed to do her job. A masterclass in moderation indeed. And Javed Akhtar, I tip my hat to him. I too was amongst the 75% he cited who did not catch a word of Mr Makarand's 'intellectual mumbo jumbo'. Loved this exchange.
34:02 When javed saab said "hindus should not behave like muslims" , he himself is saying majahab is different than dharma. So javed saheb doesnt know what he is talking
Deep down inside Javed akhtar is a follower of Professor Makarand. The mediator was like what's wrong with him. Instead if contradicting why is he agreeing with the Prof. Let me change the topic to Hindutva and Hinduism.
Hindus historically have been very different from Muslims. But this doesn't mean Hinduism as a religion is any better than Islam as a religion. It is also filled with useless rituals and made up laws and discrimination, just like other religions. But yes, Hindus have historically not acted so dogmatic and violent as Muslims. This doesn't mean their religion makes more sense. The good thing about Hindus is they have allowed people to even disagree with their central scriptures, but even in this they are admitting that their scriptures also have some questionable things.
That right wing professor couldn't understand javed sahab point that all religions are the same because as you can see any country doesn't matter from which religion they have following but whenever they choose religion instead of secularism they have totally been vanished like iraq iran Afghanistan pakistan Even if you go to india before democracy then you can easily find out beautiful sati pratha breast tax child marriages devadasi niyog etc etc even you can compare current india from 20 years old India then 20 years old india was much progressive than the current india just because of religious politics
@@JoJo-hj4tx you have absolutely no understanding of how power structures work and why certain countries are sanctioned for having a different perspective or outlook on life.
It is the responsility of people like Javed Akhtar to preach tolarence and inclusiveness to the followers of his religion and also followers of his atheism.
His religion and atheists is itself an oxymoron which morons dont get it. Atheists dont care about any religion nor incite violence in the name of god or religion so its the responsibility of religious people to maintain peace since they are the ones who take offence to their gods and religion and incite violence.
It was a marvelous public discussion between a highly trained intellectual & a natural one with intrinsic intellect & many gifts. "Thank you", to the chanel, the hosts, the debaters & to the brilliant, extraordinary anchor! 🙏😊 My question: why is the program truncated midway 🤷? Why hasn't it been allowed to conclude in a civilized way?
Javed lacks Knowledge of History and So about Spirituality within Dharma, also... He is somewhat toxicological. Moderator is partial towards Makrand and diplomatically manipulative, Moderator are not to give his/her view by interrupting in between. Makrand is a professor whereas Javed is not a researcher and if a person is Communist/Leftist/Atheist can never pick books to read & learn about Dharma within indic religion and for the sake Chinese Philosopher/Dhamra as well. Javed is also using his age to manipulate the debate and reactive with rage/anger.
i was there and it's supposed to be a 50 min session it was a part of IFP and upcoming sessions and guests were lined up, maybe eth host could have been more strict with javed but ofcourse when such a big perosnity involved you kind of want to give em a few mins leeway for power diffference, i remember javed juvenielly threatening that he come to this annual festival again next year if he isnt given last word despite him being given ample time, this was not the sole even and this is when a thinker develops rationalist enough ego to touch on narcisism, i am saying all this despite bieng a fan of javed and an agnostic myself

I've never read Manusmriti but there are certainly objectional quotes in it that have been pointed out by many scholars. But that's the catch. I've never read Manusmriti despite being born in a Hindu family. I've never been asked to, infact nobody from my family has ever read it. Neither do we have Ramayan or Mahabharat at my home and never have I been asked to read them (However I'm interested). But this is not the case with other religions. You have to read the text, you can not condemn those books or the saying of those books. The people following those books believe all verses to be the true word of God and refuse to accept that it could have been polluted over a thousand years.
But that's not the case with Quran,today most of muslim ummah are following islam the same way as it was 1400 years ago, wordings of adhaan and namaz are same as it was 1400 years ago,Quran is not only the book of prayers,Quran encompass spiritual as well as material level of human life,eg Allah says read salaah and give zakah,means Allah orders us to do namaz and give charity,then Allah forbids interest on debt (ch 2 v 278-279 of Quran)and today we are witnessing the violation of this verse,almost all are under debts,and rich is getting richer and poor is getting poorer
(1) If you have not read Manusmriti, how do you know what is in it and what is not in it. (2) Is manusmritti Governing our Laws. But Muslim Personal law (Sharia) is implimented. Basically you admitted that you are ignorant of the Manusmritti but you have heard a about it many times, so it is authentic. Wow you are such a scholar.
Yes, manusmriti is oppressive. But as is the way with sanatan, every thought, theories, ideologies were permissible. Let people decide what they identify with. For example; Rishi Charvak was a capitalist and Rishi Ashtavakra was an atheist. Yet their scriptures, theories are part of Ved. Sanatan Dharm is very inclusive in nature. 😊

You can be a Rationalist and still believe there is a Creator and Pray to it for whatever reason. They are not necessarily mutually exclusive. In fact, stating out right there can't be a creator, (it can be a he or she or even a it) is actually Irrational. Don't you think ?
@@DharmendraRaiMindMap "stating there can't be a creator is an irrational statement". Yes that's what I am saying, These dumbos who call themselves as "Atheists" are not actually Atheists, they are anti-theist. If someone wants to be to Scientifically correct/ rational, they should instead say, they don't even know if they is a God or Not, they can never know. There is word for it, it's called being Agnostic. And when it comes to topic like, Existence of God/creator of this Universe, these so called Atheist are as dumb as people who say God exists. That's what the other speaker what was trying to say, unlike other religion, Hinduism is not actually a religion, it's a collection of philosophies to lead your life. You may either believe in God, you may not, both are welcomed in Hinduism. There isn't one book you have to follow, there are many, just discard the bad things and all you are left with is philosophies which will help you better your life. That's what Hinduism is all about. There are philosophies, just select what you like, discard everything else. There is no blasphemy, because Hinduism is not even a religion in the first place. Would love to know, where you beg to differ ?
You included. Secular materialism is a fringe religious movement that is supposed to be an alternative to traditional religion but fails to answer a simple yet self-destructive moral dilemma, the 'IS-OUGHT' problem.

Well, I am an atheist, and i believe that we don't need to have debates around faith. Forget religion its a Western concept. Reason being people have full right to pursue and believe whatever faith they want, there isno point in demeaning some ideas because they do not match yours. This is called antitheism not atheism.

Are you sure? In India, secularism has come to mean advancing Islam. You can see it in Javed Akhtar’s examples of Akbar and other Mughals as secular. India didn’t go that way because of it’s strongly rooted religious traditions. Akhtar and the leftists want to deracinate Indians with ‘modern rationality’ to wipe the slate clean, so India too can go that way. In your own examples, the collapsed states are those where Islam managed to overcome the indigenous religions. Sanatana Dharma doesn’t ask for faith, it asks for logic… Akhtar’s is a straw man argument.
Paranjape good sir Spoke with clarity but slight correction on hindutva as it means knowing essence of sanatana dharma in depth which Hindu was disconnected from long as text book not taught and nor parents🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ok let me tell the one and only difference...in dharmic way of life one seek the truth, in a religion one believe in someone else truth...as a dharmic person i can pave a way with my own experience of life, whereas a religious person will not dare to question his prophet or saint

Morality is the kryptonite of atheists who make more than enough "OUGHT" statements but inherently know that none of that actually matters on their worldview because you cannot derive normativity from the fact that the world IS a certain way under a purely nihilistic worldview.
@Astrophile2345 you cannot derive normativity from the fact that the world IS a certain way because all of that presupposes the idea that everything we do MATTERS but it doesn't matter on a purely nihilistic worldview as we are merely a cosmic accident devoid of free will. Of course, you have a personal relationship with the word "logic" but when the tables are turned, you reckon.
@Astrophile2345 but what does that have anything to do with Morality being an atheist's kryptonite? "There is no logic in your statement" You were referring to my previous statement where I said, "Morality is an atheist's kryptonite." It indeed is. You cannot derive normativity from the fact that the world IS a certain way. It's from the perspective of a purely nihilistic worldview. I'm not a nihilist and I believe in free will. YOU are a nihilist therefore morality is your kryptonite and you cannot make any normative statements against religion.
A very balanced moderation by Shoma ji. Makrand was completely off track he should have answered the allegation of region being irrational or belief in God being superstitious, which he didn't! But as a person of reasoning and rationality, I call out all the atheist including Javed Sahab to tell me how this universe which has a beginning in time and came into existence from non existence without a cause!? There are only two possible answers: 1. This universe itself is its creator which essentially means it is intelligent, self sufficient and eternal. This cannot be! as science itself says that universe is neither eternal, not intelligent and neither self sufficient. 2. The second explanation would be that it is created, sustained and designed by an external, intelligent and self sufficient creator. There is no third explanation for this universe. So even when you "BELIEVE" that there is no creator for this universe, you are basing it purely on your belief and faith while rationality demands belief in God.
Basically Javed is saying that hindus should tolerate the abuses and also wants hindus to ask muslims to become like them all expectations from hindus but he has no.guts to ask muslims that why they can't tolerate Taslima and Salman rushdie😊
Javed used the word philosophy several times but it seems that he doesn't have any idea about philosophy. Even hardcore atheist philosophers would spit on his face for every single word that he uttered.
If Mr Javed is so honest in his views then ask him to debate any mullah or Maulana’s and debate with him on Islam, and say on face that Islam is a fake religion JA is dishonest person that he will never debate any Maulana on a public platform, he is such a big hypocrite who cud dare only debating Hindu’s guru and intellectuals.
You didn't understand. He said it clearly that he doesn't do so cuz he as everybody knows Islam would not accept it and all the while also accepted that Hindus are to be respected in that aspect because they are open to it. Actually even Makarand said it in his own words, if you try to reduce Hinduism to Just another dogmatic religion when it is a loss. And you my brother are trying to do the same.

To be real Hindu is to first take a deep dive into yourself and leave behind all the materialistic world, which people have forgotten and have become prey to the filthy politics
Meanwhile Adi Shankarachaya centuries ago debating on logical grounds, from God to materialistic world. Just because Akhtar's religion is completely based on rules and authorities with no scope of questioning doesn't mean all religion are the same
Vedanta is not even known to majority of Hindus lol. Idol worship and demigod worship has been ridiculed in the Vedas and Gita... Just read them. They have been described as those for a lower level mind. The point is, all religions are same in practice, regardless of what the shastra preaches...
Logic and faith can coexist. Consider the great Ramunajam for example. Unfortunately, that has not been perpetuated as we have a singular view of which should be more powerful. We should all remember: Logic appeals to the cognitive mind, faith appeals to the emotional mind.
Javed akhtar interview checklist points and ready reckoner... 1) faith and belief - example of north pole..conclude faith to stupidity 2) god doesnt stop all evils of society although He has all power 3) 2 peg par religion rukta nahi..sar char jaata hai 4) religion is opium of public..God is a santa claus of adults 5) Akbar se bada great and forward thinker is desh me paida hi nahi hua. 6) India's rich GDP during time of Akbar, Jahangir and Shahjahan. Quote Thomas Row during the time of Jahangir 7) as long as i am abused by both sides, i am happy.. problem will be if i get abused from only one side 8) praising India's democracy and concluding which you will not find till you reach the Mediterranean coast 9) dad whispers communist manifesto in his ears when javed akhtar was born.. foundations of rationality and atheism 10) example of Galileo..earth is round..etc 11) aap athiest ho kar bhi communal ho sakte ho...quotes Jinah, Savarkar.. 12) there is nothing like blind faith..faith ka matalab hi hai blind 13) on being asked why are you Atheist? Because I think... 14) satiring that Eid par mujhe 200 mubarak baad aa jaate hain ..yet he likes to celebrate it and all festivals..hamein hamare tyohar and culture wapas de do...
Hats off to the moderator of this debate she absolutely handled it very well the prof was totally going off the topic by using fancy words which javed saab instantly pointed out, her interrupting both of them to try them to come back to the topic clearly shows her unbiases and although i like javed sir , he went way off topic at the last part of the video, he should answered the last question she asked
Visibly javed was uneasy and unable to hide his hatred while anchor shoma was busy defending javed or toeing his line all along. Makrand coolly destroyed their plans to corner him.

i found him lying quite a lot.
I was there among the audience. Many people have complained about cuts. Let me reveal this was because Makarand tried to derail the debate with his continous bickering which Shoma moderated with finesse. Javed Akhtar didn't utter a word to derail the debate while Makarand, as a man child he is, interjected, blabbered and misdirected multiple times.
It was a masterclass in moderation by Shoma Chaudhury amidst such high level intellect of Javed Akhtar and cunningness + gaslighting with multiple terms and narratives by RSS spookie Makarand.

Clubbing all the religions as the same, Hinduism is scientific and humanistic religion. Purpose of abrahmic faiths is to worship sky god and each of them claim their way is the only way and if you follow any other way the sky god is going to torture you till eternity.
Hinduism is a humanistic religion which means its purpose is to help humans live a happier and moralistic life. Hinduism is also a scientific religion and based on sound philosophy of Upanishads & Gita. Hindu god will not punish you for not believing in him.

I always enjoy the talking skills of Mr Jawed Akthar. So practical, and enjoyable plus logical. May he live longer in good health for more entertainment for people.
As we all know, a prayer is a sincere plea to the Almighty for ourselves and others to seek His assistance, direction, protection, forgiveness, etc. Since faith is a fundamental prerequisite for asking or accepting prayer to Almighty, therefore, it's quite illogical to ask for a long life and health for Javed who does not believe in faith.
He is a poet and script writer so he knows what people likes to hear whether it is more scientific or not.
He was factually incorrect about Akbar Mughals , and manusmriti 😂you want to follow atheist who gives you reference while quoting follow the caravaka podcast
@@theacousticwolf Javed sahib was actually being nice not only to Makrand but to all British-created country called India. Why were kingdoms from Northwest ( current Pakistan) such as Maurya, Kushan, Dahir, Prithivi, etc., not considered invaders? Mauryans alone killed 30 million ganga jams and destroyed thousands temples of polytheists. They didn't know what hindusthan or India was. Ask south Indians. They hated Indus valley and its kings and refused to call themselves Indooz aka Hindus ( a name given by persians to ppl of Indus Sindh - now in Pakistan) until indra gandhi bombed the heck out of Tamil tigers twice. South Asia is a region and never a natural country. Whoever tried to unite it had to go through millions of deaths and 100's of wars.

It's not easy to be a moderator between these kinds of speakers and for this complex topic. Shoma Chaudhury did a fabulous job. 👏👏
And obviously it's a treat to listen to Javed Akhtar ❤
Shoma Chaudhary moderated the talk brilliantly, one of the rare occasions where the moderator knows the job and without taking sides seamlessly finishes such a controversial but important conversation between two intelligent people. It is very easy to agree with Javed Akhtar, i share most of it myself what he points out. He makes you understand why religion should not be followed blindly and the inherent problems of being religious. However, i can not dismiss most of the things Prof Markrand mentions. The position he takes in this discussion is the controversial one and he does it brilliantly with immense poise and without raising his voice even once. commendable to say the least and even at places where Javed Akhtar almost 'seduces' him to loose his demeanour, he resists in a very dignified manner, mostly with a smile and without interrupting the flow of conversation. A rare example of conversation between two different opinions without any chaos and adding to the content. a very good interaction and to my mind with no losers on either sides.
You first admired the moderator and the Javed sir then proceeds to say what you want to say.. That's very clever. You already made your mind

Javed Akhtar is ashamed of his religion and other abrahmic religions because they are based on dogmas and want their followers to blindly believe in their illogical theories and doctrines. So he calls himself an Atheist.

In Sanatan dharm karma is main thing which a human should perform. Javed Akhtar is either foolish not to understand the difference between religion (majhab) and Dharm or he is cunning enough to obfuscate peoples mind by bundling both as same.

Hindus historically have been very different from Muslims. But this doesn't mean Hinduism as a religion is any better than Islam as a religion. It is also filled with useless rituals and made up laws and discrimination, just like other religions.
But yes, Hindus have historically not acted so dogmatic and violent as Muslims.

His religion and his atheism? Bro, you confused or what?
His religion and atheists is itself an oxymoron which morons dont get it. Atheists dont care about any religion nor incite violence in the name of god or religion so its the responsibility of religious people to maintain peace since they are the ones who take offence to their gods and religion and incite violence.
It was a marvelous public discussion between a highly trained intellectual & a natural one with intrinsic intellect & many gifts. "Thank you", to the chanel, the hosts, the debaters & to the brilliant, extraordinary anchor! 🙏😊
My question: why is the program truncated midway 🤷? Why hasn't it been allowed to conclude in a civilized way?
What was so marvelous. J behaved as illiterate
Javed lacks Knowledge of History and So about Spirituality within Dharma, also... He is somewhat toxicological. Moderator is partial towards Makrand and diplomatically manipulative, Moderator are not to give his/her view by interrupting in between. Makrand is a professor whereas Javed is not a researcher and if a person is Communist/Leftist/Atheist can never pick books to read & learn about Dharma within indic religion and for the sake Chinese Philosopher/Dhamra as well. Javed is also using his age to manipulate the debate and reactive with rage/anger.
i was there and it's supposed to be a 50 min session it was a part of IFP and upcoming sessions and guests were lined up, maybe eth host could have been more strict with javed but ofcourse when such a big perosnity involved you kind of want to give em a few mins leeway for power diffference, i remember javed juvenielly threatening that he come to this annual festival again next year if he isnt given last word despite him being given ample time, this was not the sole even and this is when a thinker develops rationalist enough ego to touch on narcisism, i am saying all this despite bieng a fan of javed and an agnostic myself
Javed Akhtar has very shallow knowledge and he talks nonsence. India was already rich before the Islamic invaders came. In fact only because of its wealth the invaders wanted to be here and plunder it.
Javed Akhtar is ashamed of his religion and other abrahmic religions because they are based on dogmas and want their followers to blindly believe in their illogical theories and doctrines. So he calls himself an Atheist. But t at the same time he is egoistic and doesn't want to understand the beauty of Sanatan Dharm which implores a human to be a seeker, and promotes to seek truth with its philosophical logical knowledge. In Sanatan dharm karma is main thing which a human should perform. Javed Akhtar is either foolish not to understand the difference between religion (majhab) and Dharm or he is cunning enough to obfuscate peoples mind by bundling both as same.
I am an atheist too share same feelings and sentiments as Javed sir shared 🫡
At start Jawed Saab said there is no difference in religions, but at around 30 minutes. He says Hindus had elbow space that is being taken away and he tells Hindus to be not like others. This is a point to be delved into.
Thts because the other guy defended hinduism. He started by saying he denounced islam too. So i think ur biased

When Lindus can't Defend their Hinduism !
Then divert debate towards abrahamic religions 😂
Oldest Kulture strategy 😂
great javed sahib ..i 100% agree .respect and applaud your sincerety , honesty frankness .
Javed Sahab; A living legend of 21st century in the field of literature.
I am really happy that still india has rationally and logically thinking men like javed sahab in these waves
I've never read Manusmriti but there are certainly objectional quotes in it that have been pointed out by many scholars. But that's the catch. I've never read Manusmriti despite being born in a Hindu family. I've never been asked to, infact nobody from my family has ever read it. Neither do we have Ramayan or Mahabharat at my home and never have I been asked to read them (However I'm interested). But this is not the case with other religions. You have to read the text, you can not condemn those books or the saying of those books. The people following those books believe all verses to be the true word of God and refuse to accept that it could have been polluted over a thousand years.
But that's not the case with Quran,today most of muslim ummah are following islam the same way as it was 1400 years ago, wordings of adhaan and namaz are same as it was 1400 years ago,Quran is not only the book of prayers,Quran encompass spiritual as well as material level of human life,eg Allah says read salaah and give zakah,means Allah orders us to do namaz and give charity,then Allah forbids interest on debt (ch 2 v 278-279 of Quran)and today we are witnessing the violation of this verse,almost all are under debts,and rich is getting richer and poor is getting poorer
Please do some research there are different versions of quran. Though one version is the most popular in the world.
(1) If you have not read Manusmriti, how do you know what is in it and what is not in it. (2) Is manusmritti Governing our Laws. But Muslim Personal law (Sharia) is implimented.
Basically you admitted that you are ignorant of the Manusmritti but you have heard a about it many times, so it is authentic. Wow you are such a scholar.
Yes, manusmriti is oppressive.
But as is the way with sanatan, every thought, theories, ideologies were permissible. Let people decide what they identify with.
For example; Rishi Charvak was a capitalist and Rishi Ashtavakra was an atheist.
Yet their scriptures, theories are part of Ved.
Sanatan Dharm is very inclusive in nature. 😊
There is only one version of Qur'an@@RohitKumar-vd3wc
Is it debate or reel? Why anchor cutting both in every 2minute without clear explanation? No use of such kind of thing if not proper debate
U think you're better 😅
For Hindus central scriptures are Upanishads and Gita but not Manu Smriti.
Manu means law giver.
They change from time to time.
Stuti means facts, smriti is all about interpretation
For Hindus, there are no "Central" scriptures. Every Hindu can choose what to believe and there is a huge diversity.
@@brahm-ahamasmi we r people of vedic civilization. Essence of Vedas is captured in Upanishads and encapsulated in Bhagwat Gita. Bharat was a vast country from Afghanistan to Indonesia. Many people have written many things. Only those portions are to be accepted which are in agreement with Upanishads and Gita and rest not to be considered.
@@jhunuj6243rightly said
@@jhunuj6243So basically whatever is written in few books becomes the final word for us ? So we have our final book(s) just like abrahmic religions ? I am not against your point of view and wont say you are wrong , maybe you are right and maybe someone else is, just want to explore what you have written a bit more.
Shoma - great job of moderating the complex subject with two higly complex and knowledgeable speakers. Kudos!
Great Javed Sahab...
Rationality offers a serenity most humans never experience
You can be a Rationalist and still believe there is a Creator and Pray to it for whatever reason. They are not necessarily mutually exclusive. In fact, stating out right there can't be a creator, (it can be a he or she or even a it) is actually Irrational. Don't you think ?
@@NaaaaaRK it is rational to believe there may be a creator and proof would be welcome
@@NaaaaaRKstating there can't be a creator is an irrational statement
@@DharmendraRaiMindMap "stating there can't be a creator is an irrational statement". Yes that's what I am saying, These dumbos who call themselves as "Atheists" are not actually Atheists, they are anti-theist. If someone wants to be to Scientifically correct/ rational, they should instead say, they don't even know if they is a God or Not, they can never know. There is word for it, it's called being Agnostic. And when it comes to topic like, Existence of God/creator of this Universe, these so called Atheist are as dumb as people who say God exists. That's what the other speaker what was trying to say, unlike other religion, Hinduism is not actually a religion, it's a collection of philosophies to lead your life. You may either believe in God, you may not, both are welcomed in Hinduism. There isn't one book you have to follow, there are many, just discard the bad things and all you are left with is philosophies which will help you better your life. That's what Hinduism is all about. There are philosophies, just select what you like, discard everything else. There is no blasphemy, because Hinduism is not even a religion in the first place. Would love to know, where you beg to differ ?
Look at the pseudo rational Akhtar foaming in his mouth
I feel a lot of people who are making negative comments are afflicted with some kind of religion.
Atheism is a very honest position. Faith is bs.
You included. Secular materialism is a fringe religious movement that is supposed to be an alternative to traditional religion but fails to answer a simple yet self-destructive moral dilemma, the 'IS-OUGHT' problem.
Victim Card Everywhere. 😅
@@ankitBhartiya2 Lol when that guy was whining about getting screwed by Akbar, that's not victim card?? If beta males were not able to protect, they should just accept then they were weak then by your argument. You want to have the cake and eat it too...How RIDICULOUS!!!
Well, I am an atheist, and i believe that we don't need to have debates around faith. Forget religion its a Western concept. Reason being people have full right to pursue and believe whatever faith they want, there isno point in demeaning some ideas because they do not match yours. This is called antitheism not atheism. It's like those orthodox preachers who flock the roads saying that join my religion. A lil more extremism and you become communist. In fact, if we further take it to extreme level, there could be antitheist terrorists.
Fitting reply by Javed saheb to the Manuwadi Paranape. Javed Sir, you are great.
Hi. Can you please upload the uncut version?
❤makarand Paranjape you have just established our feelings so well. Shoma could not discipline him 😂
That right wing professor couldn't understand javed sahab point that all religions are the same because as you can see any country doesn't matter from which religion they have following but whenever they choose religion instead of secularism they have totally been vanished like iraq iran Afghanistan pakistan Even if you go to india before democracy then you can easily find out beautiful sati pratha breast tax child marriages devadasi niyog etc etc even you can compare current india from 20 years old India then 20 years old india was much progressive than the current india just because of religious politics
As he said there was not any words like dalit but the question is why were the aystem of upper & lower caste this is how religion evolved & extremism born for ex islam came from saudi arabia but if you see the saudi islam then you can find out shia & sunni islam but when that islam evolved in india then ahmadia islam happened even there are majority of muslims who óppose ahmadia as a muslim but the point is this is how religion evolved just like a cancer if it happened in your body then it can be grown up
Are you sure? In India, secularism has come to mean advancing Islam. You can see it in Javed Akhtar’s examples of Akbar and other Mughals as secular. India didn’t go that way because of it’s strongly rooted religious traditions. Akhtar and the leftists want to deracinate Indians with ‘modern rationality’ to wipe the slate clean, so India too can go that way. In your own examples, the collapsed states are those where Islam managed to overcome the indigenous religions. Sanatana Dharma doesn’t ask for faith, it asks for logic… Akhtar’s is a straw man argument.
Javed Akhtar is stupid person
Paranjape good sir
Spoke with clarity but slight correction on hindutva as it means knowing essence of sanatana dharma in depth which Hindu was disconnected from long as text book not taught and nor parents🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ok let me tell the one and only difference...in dharmic way of life one seek the truth, in a religion one believe in someone else truth...as a dharmic person i can pave a way with my own experience of life, whereas a religious person will not dare to question his prophet or saint
Javed ji is the Rockstar.
How come ?
He is a Fidayin and devout Muslim who tries to hide behind being an atheist ,,
He never takes any criticism of Muslims and always rubbish Hinduism
😂he is school kid in front of prof makarand 😊❤
"God is the santa claus of adults" ❤🙌😂

Morality is the kryptonite of atheists who make more than enough "OUGHT" statements but inherently know that none of that actually matters on their worldview because you cannot derive normativity from the fact that the world IS a certain way under a purely nihilistic worldview.
Morality is an atheist's kryptonite
@Astrophile2345 you cannot derive normativity from the fact that the world IS a certain way because all of that presupposes the idea that everything we do MATTERS but it doesn't matter on a purely nihilistic worldview as we are merely a cosmic accident devoid of free will.
Of course, you have a personal relationship with the word "logic" but when the tables are turned, you reckon.
@Astrophile2345 but what does that have anything to do with Morality being an atheist's kryptonite?
"There is no logic in your statement"
You were referring to my previous statement where I said, "Morality is an atheist's kryptonite."
It indeed is. You cannot derive normativity from the fact that the world IS a certain way. It's from the perspective of a purely nihilistic worldview. I'm not a nihilist and I believe in free will. YOU are a nihilist therefore morality is your kryptonite and you cannot make any normative statements against religion.
Excellent Prof. Marakand Paranjape!
Haag dia usne! Kuch sense tha hi Nahi!😂
A very balanced moderation by Shoma ji. Makrand was completely off track he should have answered the allegation of region being irrational or belief in God being superstitious, which he didn't!
But as a person of reasoning and rationality, I call out all the atheist including Javed Sahab to tell me how this universe which has a beginning in time and came into existence from non existence without a cause!? There are only two possible answers:
1. This universe itself is its creator which essentially means it is intelligent, self sufficient and eternal.
This cannot be! as science itself says that universe is neither eternal, not intelligent and neither self sufficient.
2. The second explanation would be that it is created, sustained and designed by an external, intelligent and self sufficient creator.
There is no third explanation for this universe. So even when you "BELIEVE" that there is no creator for this universe, you are basing it purely on your belief and faith while rationality demands belief in God.
Basically Javed is saying that hindus should tolerate the abuses and also wants hindus to ask muslims to become like them all expectations from hindus but he has no.guts to ask muslims that why they can't tolerate Taslima and Salman rushdie😊
Javed is ashamed of his religion. But he has a big ego to accept that Dharma is much superior concept than majhab.
A section of hindus are intolerant at this point of time
He did not say that. Once.
basically you're stupid.
@Human-xz2gr That's the hypocracy and in urdu it's munafiqat which is taught them in their mazaa hub
Makrand is talking realistically, he doesn't answer questions straight away, while he certainly can
Jab kabhi bhi javed sir ko sunnte hai( lisen) hai .
Aur bhi naye tarike se rational,logical human bann jate hai
So thanks sir❤
Javed used the word philosophy several times but it seems that he doesn't have any idea about philosophy. Even hardcore atheist philosophers would spit on his face for every single word that he uttered.
Stupid javed
desperately need a part 2 of this , or at least upload the full version of the entire debate .
Javedjee your tone itself & label yourself as rational, shows you believe yourself to be superior
Javaid saab is great thinker.... Love u sir
If Mr Javed is so honest in his views then ask him to debate any mullah or Maulana’s and debate with him on Islam, and say on face that Islam is a fake religion
JA is dishonest person that he will never debate any Maulana on a public platform, he is such a big hypocrite who cud dare only debating Hindu’s guru and intellectuals.
@MSKhanserventofAllah He is much more better than so called religious people
ghantaa, he defends islamic brutality in india
Javed should write a scene on his own religion like he did in Sholay
He will not dare because money matters
You guys missed the whole point. Even after it was so evident.
He told islam is intolerant...
Hindus mustn't be like Muslim.
You didn't understand. He said it clearly that he doesn't do so cuz he as everybody knows Islam would not accept it and all the while also accepted that Hindus are to be respected in that aspect because they are open to it.
Actually even Makarand said it in his own words, if you try to reduce Hinduism to Just another dogmatic religion when it is a loss. And you my brother are trying to do the same.
U r suffering from disease called faith and fascism.
I am happy to see such a kind of debate in India.
Kudos to Javed Sahab 👏👏👏👏👏
😂😂
I totally agree with Javed sir what he said in first 5 minutes.
Javed u r best!!
Such an important conversation. Love each one of them. Had wonderful time watching this ❤️
We can clearly see that Shoma and Javed Akthar supported each other with their agenda and Prof. Markandji stood strongly with befitting reply!
prof. markandji is criticizing islam. meanwhile topic of debate is something else. its religion vs atheism.
Prof. continue shifting goal post in live match.😊
That’s a professor in India. Then no one can save Indian students from getting brainwash.
Prof seems to be a duffer...what kind of logic is he giving
Its unfortunate that Makrand was discussing with jawed who was not ready to hear... and it was cut in between...unfortunate
Makrand is an intellectual and knowledgeable person. Javed is a buffoon he has very shallow knowledge.
i think makrand told to much than javad. Idk how u judges the converstions 😊. Javad sir rocks when it comes to logic and rationality
Javed is burnt because he can't embarrass Hindus like before
He used to embarrass them in sholay
And enjoy
But he didn't know there was no social media then
Now Hindus will expose his cunningness
@@Ritesh-rj1sp javad sir is the voice for voiceless ppl. Rss and isis can't stop him from speaking truth. Ya modi will wil be exposed daily. Be pity sure on it
To be real Hindu is to first take a deep dive into yourself and leave behind all the materialistic world, which people have forgotten and have become prey to the filthy politics
Such an erudite person Javed sa'ab is! The interview can be summarised as the tall personality of Javed sir vs merely the tall talk of Makarand sir.
What a great topic to have a discussion on... Hats off to the moderator for her efforts in keeping the debate on right track..
Meanwhile Adi Shankarachaya centuries ago debating on logical grounds, from God to materialistic world.
Just because Akhtar's religion is completely based on rules and authorities with no scope of questioning doesn't mean all religion are the same
Vedanta is not even known to majority of Hindus lol. Idol worship and demigod worship has been ridiculed in the Vedas and Gita... Just read them. They have been described as those for a lower level mind. The point is, all religions are same in practice, regardless of what the shastra preaches...
Logic and faith can coexist. Consider the great Ramunajam for example. Unfortunately, that has not been perpetuated as we have a singular view of which should be more powerful. We should all remember: Logic appeals to the cognitive mind, faith appeals to the emotional mind.
Javed akhtar interview checklist points and ready reckoner...
1) faith and belief - example of north pole..conclude faith to stupidity
2) god doesnt stop all evils of society although He has all power
3) 2 peg par religion rukta nahi..sar char jaata hai
4) religion is opium of public..God is a santa claus of adults
5) Akbar se bada great and forward thinker is desh me paida hi nahi hua.
6) India's rich GDP during time of Akbar, Jahangir and Shahjahan. Quote Thomas Row during the time of Jahangir
7) as long as i am abused by both sides, i am happy.. problem will be if i get abused from only one side
8) praising India's democracy and concluding which you will not find till you reach the Mediterranean coast
9) dad whispers communist manifesto in his ears when javed akhtar was born.. foundations of rationality and atheism
10) example of Galileo..earth is round..etc
11) aap athiest ho kar bhi communal ho sakte ho...quotes Jinah, Savarkar..
12) there is nothing like blind faith..faith ka matalab hi hai blind
13) on being asked why are you Atheist? Because I think...
14) satiring that Eid par mujhe 200 mubarak baad aa jaate hain ..yet he likes to celebrate it and all festivals..hamein hamare tyohar and culture wapas de do...
Hats off to the moderator of this debate she absolutely handled it very well the prof was totally going off the topic by using fancy words which javed saab instantly pointed out, her interrupting both of them to try them to come back to the topic clearly shows her unbiases and although i like javed sir , he went way off topic at the last part of the video, he should answered the last question she asked
Visibly javed was uneasy and unable to hide his hatred while anchor shoma was busy defending javed or toeing his line all along.
Makrand coolly destroyed their plans to corner him.
So you are still religious ! Yay ! Makarand won ! How could he have even lost ?
We don't need religions. We need to follow dharma. Live a just and peaceful life
Muslim religion and brahman(mainly upper caste) destroyed akhand bharat, culture philosophy and all indian orgin religion. One gave peaceful mazhab and afjal com in the world and second give caste system,cruptio and shrest caste in indian ocean claim himself meritdhari, even they don't know the currectt history,economics,basic philosophy,psychology,civilization. Both give ganga jamuni tahjeeb and oppoesd womenright,killed, Torchered, physically and mentally many year on year
If you read ambedkar ji in detail and watch exmuslim channel.
Paranjape clearly won the debate.
Javed ji doesn't know what he is telling
No one has won. Paranjape was keeping one side.
No. And the debate outcome is useless. The truth remains.
@@HasanurRahman-n6g What thehell does that mean. He was keeping one side. Javed did not have capacity to even fathom what Paranjpe is saying.
