Total fan of javed sab.... I also follow his views
Wonder , alive and flowing .
Javed sir nailed it all
Love Javed Akhtar!
Dharm is followed either due to fear or greed
Or because your mom and dad tell you to. Also, kinda depends on what you mean by Dharm
I rationally chose to accept religion, as I was convinced of its truthfulness.
@HusamAhmed-kr9qu Because your parents cultivated religious beliefs in you from your childhood. Imagine if you are born to secular parents, you could have had a different perspective about religions.
@@kavisiddu My parents cultivated in me the spirit to rationalise information, and accept facts. I'm curious if you have any argument (apart from your own presupposed imagination of how my parents raised me) to substantiate your belief that the universe, with all its marvels and intricacies, popped out by itself, all from nothing.
As for indoctrination, it is atheists who stuff their beliefs down the throats of their children so that their next generation would let go off their innate conviction about the existence of God. Research proves that some foundational aspects of religions are innate in children, and not taught. For more information on this, you may refer: "Religion is Natural" by Paul Bloom, and "Is There Such a Thing as a Christian Child? Evidence of Religious Beliefs in Early Childhood" by Josh Rottman and Deborah Kelemen.
@@kavisidduDark age is c abrahmich idea which Marx also follow .What about Upnishad Hirnyakasyap Prahlad story Mandan Mishra and And Shanracharya debate .After June Javed now get space because Gramsky hegemony western ideas ngo come and strong .
As an evidence to this powerful statement by Javed Akhtar , see it for yourself - Compare countries which have either religious governments (India , Iran , Afghanistan , Saudi etc ) or where majority of people are religious ( more or less same set of countries) , with the counties which have secular govt ( US UK Australia , Canada etc) or where religious affiliations are on the decline- which ones would like to emigrate ????
This man just keeps rising in my estimation every time I hear him speak.
Javed sahib has coped with generation gap beautifully by keeping himself educated, updated and modern, to the point that his views are at times even more refreshing than Zoya's.
I agree.
After he passes away hopefully after many years, he will go back to the darkness.
Humble request to everyone please skip the video whenever zoya speaks so irritating,javid akhtar is an absolute genius
Anything can be beautiful… religion and God isn’t the problem…. It’s people
What the entertainment world has gained, philosophy has lost. If Javed saab had turned to philosophy fulltime, his writings would have given us our own Socrates Aristotle Pluto .....
The “bad” song Javed Akhtar is referring to is Padosan Apni Murgi Ko Rakhna Sambhal from Jaadugar
So much guts to call a spade a spade
Yet this discussion is by privileged class of privileged class for privileged class
I have never liked the idea of following anybody..yes ofcourse you can learn/enlighten yourself from someone but then it's all your duty that you use your brain and do things accordingly....every man on this earth have same capabilities, only difference is how we use our brains....
I just love and respect Javed Saab a lot....but I am following exactly what his views are since yrs before I had listened to any interviews or idea of his...and I never listened to any spiritual guru or followed anybody or read any book...I dnt know why ppl need someone or something to become a simple human being who just lives and let live others...
One of the biggest obstacles for our country to be a 3rd world/developing country is blindfaith...I wouldn't say it's education, cuz even educated and famous personalities are infected with this disease called blindfaith....there is only science and science and science....if something we don't know about the world then that is just our limitations as of now and in future when humans will get to know about that thing then it will no more be supernatural thing...
Every spiritual/religious person follow norms which were set ages ago but same person aspire to have all those modern luxuries...even an average mind can understand that all those technologies, inventions have been created by ppl mostly from developed countries where religious fanaticism is comparatively lesser than those which are extremely religious and fanatics....
Know that in these times that darkness has invaded humanity ,men do not know or love GOD.Their wars,their hatred, and lack of harmony are proof that they still do not allow God to live in their hearts . God has placed the conscience in your being and free will,the conscience is the presence of God,and that it is the true means by which men should communicate with their God and Creator.Only by listening to the voice of their conscience: the voice that to be heard requires concentration,meditation,and prayers.consult your conscience ,if charity and good will towards your brethren lodges in your heart u can be certain that the light still shines in your conscience.
I dont know about all religions but perhaps you are right about yours...you would know best as having practiced it. I wouldn't know.
Problem is when. One failed to
Understand sanathan dharma
One gets to confuse others
And tries to push all into dark ages
Dharma and religion is the same
I can guarantee , that he doesn't even read about his own religion and forget about all other religions. He doesn't know about the basics of islam,
Very poor video, audio quality
A learned man and orator like Javed Akhtar throwing BHUND .
He forgot the name of Wajid Ali Shah Jan e Alam Nawab of Awadh
Who invented different forms of dance (Raqs) .
Moreover He was a skilled dancer himself.
Bhai muhammad ne kya bola h usse islam chalta tere aur kisi raja se nhi chalta 😂
krishnadeva raya Raja Raja Chola 1 Rana Sanga Raja Bhoj to name a few were great authors and poets
@@jaishreepant they're not artists themselves!
Video quality is poor.
Javed your understanding about religions like Islam, Christianity for f dark age might hold true but Dharm(sanatan) is not from/for dark age as its "dharm" not "religion"..."dharm" was,is and will remain relevant in all ages. Problem is ignorant like you don't understand the difference between "dharm" and "religion"
Wt abt Wajid Ali Shah the King of Awadh?
Buddhism utha ke dekho . Dark ages ka nahi hai
Karma rebirth mythology usme bhi h sabhi m Aisa hota h Bina myth k religion ni hota
Yes, Buddhism is little better than others!
@@mr.rathour6454 uska karma. Aur rebirth Hinduism ke karma rebirth se alag hai.
Usme soul nhi hai.
Usme cause and effect se hai
@@trivendrakumarsingh5732 koi bhi ho bhai sense ni banti usme dharma (dhamma) ki definition bhi alag ho skti h ab isse ye fact thodi na change ho jayegi ki ye same indo Aryan sanskrit prakrit k word h
Zoya khan be like “War Kara di papa !”😂
Silly man. Hinduism is so powerful and the deities preside over this devotees
There is one religion which is living in dark age and wants to take everyone along . Can Javed explain why no single Muslim country is democratic
@@VictimHood-qv1hx
Had you read the religion and its Book maybe just maybe you’d have learnt it is that religion which brought this so world you’re Breathing in was brought out of Darkness To Light. And it’s Good to know that you know this term Democracy. You’d have also learnt the democratic suggestions in that religion. There are less chances of an ignorant Sanghi like you to understand that religion.
And for not single country Go to Malaysia go to Turkiye. Also ask yourself if you’ve the character to deliver justice like some of those countries.
Our perspectives on religious beliefs are often shaped by our interactions and environments. Javed Akhtar's cynicism may be attributed to his personal experiences, leading him to view religious beliefs as outdated. However, for many, religion provides profound meaning and guidance, especially during challenging times. Such blanket statements do not align with the broader public sentiment, which recognizes the enduring value of faith for countless individuals. Moreover, these diverse views also highlight the broad canvas of Indian ethos, which is known for its ability to assimilate differing viewpoints and respect a wide range of beliefs. (From someone who is otherwise his great admirer)
That’s BS - it’s not his “personal experience “ it’s what any rational educated and critically thinking person would characterize religions as - backward thinking and harmful to humanity
@@rajsingh-uw8ly Yes, by your logic, S. Somanath, the ISRO Chief, is the most illogical, uneducated, and dogmatic-thinking person in India, who visits temples after every successful mission. Sure, keep that mindset going!
@@Piyushkuma-e9m those are his personal views whatever he does in his personal time is his business .. there are many scientists who are religious - that doesn’t mean religion has validity of science . We are taking about bigger picture here -religious countries everywhere in the world are backward while secular countries are generally modern and progressive and more humane … that’s the point
@@Piyushkuma-e9m first of all , it’s entirely his business where goes in his personal time , not anyone else’s .. secondly a person in position of authority sceintific arena doing something religious is no sceintific validation of religion and thirdly , it’s precisely people like these who are highly educated but lack critical thinking and sceintific attitude , are the biggest problem in India , they are the reason India will never become a progressive modern and humane country - they are even worse than those poor who believe in all kind of religious rubbish - at least they have a valid reason for their ignorance - ..
Being scientist doesn't necessarily make the person Rational. @@Piyushkuma-e9m
Poor camera quality
All religions, really?! This guy has read all the philosophy of all religions? If he has the guts, then please talk about how of all religions, Islam is the most misinterpreted and calls its followers the "chosen ones."That in itself, creates a separation of Islam and coexistence with any other religious philosophy. Just because this man is an artist doesn't mean he has figured it all out. This interview like others is sheer ignorance is what I can call. Now people who wish to come at me for "Islam" please note that the text can be interpreted for the good of humanity but the interpreters of the text are closed minded, unexplored of life, and non-rational individuals. Also the reason, that any country in the world you can pick apart you'd find the philosophy and its misinterpretation has kept muslims poor. There are great people who are muslims in India. But there are also snakes in this country because of whose impression the innocents suffer.
In Shahrukh Khan, the legend's own words: "It is a beautiful religion....Please give your children the correct education of Islam". Unfortunately, because of not following this, Islam has become the religion of darkest ages. And the so-called educated muslims dont give a shit about their fellow muslims to not misguide them.
As a matter of fact the human right of not choosing a religion and following atheism (which he is so), can only happen in either India or europe or even a Buddhist nation, can he think about adopting apostasy in an Islamic country? And then says "All religions are from the dark". Also a quote from the man who made Singapore the richest country here (a word from an Administrative head):
I think we were progressing very nicely until the surge of Islam came. And if you asked me for my observations, the other communities have easier integration - friends, inter-marriages and so on - than Muslims … I would say, today, we can integrate all religions and races except Islam.” (Lee later retracted this comment.)
- Lee Kuan Yew: Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going, 2011
Islam teaches hatred, violence and annihilation of other religions, which is seen in the conduct of radical Muslims all over the world. No interpretation is required when evidence is there before the eyes.
Who are these people and why must anyone accept their uninformed takes ?
Who uses superlatives like ALL while addressing religions?
Dark age is literally the period after the fall of Rome. It took Indian texts taken by the Arabs and translated and transmitted to Europe that started their renaissance.
These debaters are not serious people.
i think Javed saab gets confused between organized religion( it has its own issues) and visiting a temple. i don't see a difference between visiting a Bar and a temple, alcohol, dim lights, light music elevates your mood at same time you loose your reasoning power( which Javed saab loves) as you consume more alcohol. similarly in temple, the aroma of flowers & dhoop, diya lights, sound of the bell, humming of mantras etc all of it elevates your mood. While you are In a bar or while watching a movie and when you are in a temple you give your reasoning faculty a rest. I think he follows Dawkins pretty blindly...!!
Ha ha ha where do you live? You don’t see human as equals! Please remove the Cast system then speak!
Step a bit too far Javeed.Dont tell how to live life with quotes of past,. Are you talking about Art,or relgion,each one of you impressing the other, on the other hand, Zoha not clearing her stand. . You definitely impress people with your vociferous imagination
Don't generalize!
Absolutely GENERALIZE - compare secular govt of the world to the religious ones , including India where majority of people are religious - where would like to emigrate ?? Which ones are modern , clean , offer protections to women and chidneen and minorities ( US Canada UK) or backward ones like India , Afghanistan , Iran , Saudi ..- which one would you choose if you had a choice to move to ??
Absolutely GENERALIZE !! Look around yourself - most religious countries ( those who have religious govt or where majority of people are religious like India , Iran , Afghanistan , Pakistan , Saudi ) are backward and quiet e few are regular S..T holes , vs secular govt where religions is one the decline and govt police’s aren’t made with religion in consideration are modern and advanced ( US Canada UK Australia etc) . Which country would you like to move to if you had a choice ??
@@rajsingh-uw8ly You conveniently choose to ignore some facts. Soviet Russia's political views were based on an atheistic worldview. Shall we generalise that, just for curiosity? Albania declared itself "the world's first constitutionally atheist state" in 1976. Would you kindly care to share some light on its "humanistic" principles? China, currently, has the largest percentage of atheistic population. Would you care to tell me where China stands in the World Happiness Indexes? Similar is the case of countries like Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, South Korea, Russia Hungary etc, which have large atheistic population, but lag far behind in happiness. On the other side, you may find countries like USA, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Ireland, Italy etc, that have large religious population, and also score great in Happiness Index. Too much to generalise.... right?

Decent isn't enough

@Krishnagondhea you deserve to be in museum, please don't use your brain much. It's a rare commodity.
@@biobharat but this freedom of speech is allowed in India. Not Pakistan or other Islamic countries.
@@arunpalamakula8680 😂 I can’t speak for every religion but Hinduism is so beautiful and the chosen deity gives so much guidance and protection in life. And this man has benefited so much from living in Hindu land that he is talking like this
@@krishnagondhea7428 that's why we are different from them no need to become like pakistan
4 hr long video ? Are you crazy ?
Why not post it in 30 min parts ?
On the other hand, I prefer it long, so that there's a continuity, and if I want to I could pick it up later from where I left it.
The Indian Majority Community And The Media Praises This Guy Not Because Of His Poetry Or Knowledge And Command On Urdu Language & Being Script Writer, But Solely Because Of His Anti Religion Or Anti God Believes.
Unlikely, because the majority of Indians are religious nuts. They loved Javed Akhtar because of his contributions to films. They loved him even before he openly espoused atheism. Even if what you are saying is true, if a significant section of Indians love him because of his irreligiosity, it's something to be applauded. It's better than falling on the feet of religious demagogues who drag our country, or any country for that matter, to dark ages.
LoL
Not hinduism. The only true dharna.
All religion are fake just like harry potter books
What a boring and uninspiring gathering.... this audience is so bereft of basic intelligence that whatever Mr. Akhtar says is taken as a gospel truth... tch.. tch... I pity the audience
the more this guy speaks, more of his ignorance comes out
You’re referring to mani vannan chokkalingam?
Ok genius
When you die than dafnaye joage😂😂
Javed saab nailed it all
