[nicbangalore]

who put this joker on stage..

[shahhrithikrukh]

@princevarghesem gadi.mallu english aano..tamil englishano..entho avatte..gadikku karyam manasilayille..athu mathi... :)

[SARATHSAHAJ]

Dear All Please hear by heart..You can hear him...otherwise you are hearing the noise only...!!

[fahidanimation]

How TED alows him to talk here...i had good image about TED...he is simply foolishness...he will talk well..i like his talk..but TED he is not a sutable speaker..

[sycokilleralex]

probably he should improve his english and come back.

[jijopu]

It really sucks and totally deceives the TED philosophy. I wonder who invited this guy to such an event!

[anooprocks1989]

he is able to convey his messages well through speeches..........really appreciable!!!

[sanskrit0]

Probably Mr. Rahul Easwar is surprised because he did not know the history of Indonesia. Poor man! Basically most of the countries have an eagle as their symbol, including US! Indians described eagle as Garuda and gave it a human body! Does it change the idea?

[KeralaMediaTvm]

@sanskrit0 Dear Sankrit 0 is such a fool...Eagle in US is not like Indonesia's Garuda...Check google. Atleast Sanksrit shd use internet and find it out whether Garuda, (not eagle) is the national symbol of Indonesia..

[sanskrit0]

@KeralaMediaTvm Could you please tell me What is Garuda? I would be sincerely grateful to you!

[sanskrit0]

@KeralaMediaTvm As you suggested, the Wikepedia states like this: The Garuda (Sanskrit/Javanese/Balinese/In­donesian: गरुड garuḍa, "eagle"; Pāli garuḷa; Burmese: ဂဠုန်, [ɡəlòuɴ]; Tamil: karutan; Thai/Lao/Khmer: ครุฑ khrut; Malay: geroda; Mongolian: гарьд garid) is a large mythical bird or bird-like creature that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology.

To the best of my knowledge, is mythical humanized form of eagle, concept started in early civilizations, which is followed even now!

[sarvatma777]

The whole world have to think like him oneday, even though they don't like the idea.

[pairamblr]

A very interesting speech indeed. However, typical with the world today, fundamentalists can take cue from this and start taking actions to remove or change all that - one never knows! One has watched how in Afghanistan the Taliban of those days demolished some great sculptural work, forgetting how it

was done, when it was done etc which would have been a witness to the great

capabilities of the people lived during those times, whenever it was.

Human beings need to come out of the fear

cheers

[9886635574]

TED, please don't endorse religious morons like rahul easwar. India should be moving forward and not listening to dangerously retarded people like this speaker.

[pairamblr]

@9886635574

Hello, Are you afraid of views and opinions?

Do you believe in "BLASPHEMY" ?

Just hear clearly what he talks, think for a moment and then take up each of

the point that he talks of. Explain how, why you disagree giving logical

reasoning. That will educate self and others. Fear is the problem of most

of us, human beings and Fear is a product of IGNORANCE. To over come

fear one need to listen, think, analyze, discuss and debate etc - sweetly.

cheers

[cupido4amor]

TEDx should be careful in showing the speakers to avoid pontificating idiots like him. You call India as a religion? its hurting my ribs.

[mediator50]

Hey Rahul, very great speech, congratulation !! we the proud hindus are with you and will ignore petty criticism

[priyankbol]

junk

[ninojum]

We need more from u

[srvcsstatecommittee]

he have idea but  no good one

[saveurtiger]

Its nice to see people critiquing the world from a true INDIAN point of view.

Please remember that even the USA is not controlled by its government... Its Govt. is itself controlled now by big private WORLD BANKS... It is an interesting topic to research the way the americans have been fooled over and over for a century now..

[bhavsartejas]

Sir you have tremendous knowledge. I Thank you for sharing. I want to learn more form you please drop me a mess.

[singhgurjaspal]

wat a dumb....

[nishanthnair]

Good speech... we need more and more youngsters like Rahul.. His thought process is so clear!

[Hindu000Parliament]

The Great thing about India is her Diversity & the Dangerous angle that Diversity can take is that "people may end up boasting that they only are right & every one else is wrong". If Unity in Diversity has to triumph, people need to be sensitive to each other, sensible & adapting.

[Hindu000Parliament]

Whether it is PSEUDO BASHER or BREADBUTTER or CHECKTHAT NOW...I hardly understand, why is there so much of provocation. The whole speech emphasises on Co-existance, Similarities of cultural atmosphere every where, respect for all religions & India being Homeland to all, accepting all. Come on Brothers. What is this. Pls dnt bring Divisive politics into it, Caste, Religion are all realities, Accepted, Respected. India is a bigger reality than both. Pls dont forget. Vandee Mataram

[Hindu000Parliament]

I personally Request all those who comment to be more "academic" & "intellectual, logic" oriented while comenting, While all Intellectual Criticisms r welcome to all the prophets, Pls do avoid derogatory, defaming comments against any Great Man or Religion existred, may it be Holy Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) or Hindu Religion & Civilization. Tat basic respect & sensitivity is for sure needed to undrstnd any great master evr lived. Pls tone down, for ther is very less controversial here

[merijaanster]

u breadbutter and jam....and the guy down...do u think only the way how u think is right?....never....god....as u believe ur god ..doesnt matter...he given different attitudes, thoughts, behavoiur etc.....person to person...otherwise he will get bored, seeing all..... and u.... a different thinking guy... believe as a human first...this is not an advice...think about it./..:),:)

[breadbutter12]

@checkthatnow is correct...dude never quite explained what the notion of india is all about...this is the usual gibberish that brahmins bring up all the time....

[ThePseudoBasher]

@breadbutter12 brahmins bring up.....hahahah dude what are you some deobandi mullah or a paedo church bishop....i am a Hindu and aint a brahmin infact though it doesn't matter but i am an SC....and i still find every word of his true.....India is the oldest surviving culture in the world....and unlike other great cultures of the world like Egyptians, Mayans, Persians and Greeks Indian or Hindu(nation) culture, it has still not been overtaken by Abrahamic cult religions.

[breadbutter12]

@ThePseudoBasher really u know a lot of mullahs and paedo priest?...if so good for u..

India is the greatest culture in the world...so what..

abrahamic cult religions haven't overtaken it....did those cults ever claim they want to overtake the great Hindu culture:)...

India is great no doubts... but nothing much to Hinduism ...a third rate religion that endorses widespread and horrific discrimintaion against its own adherants... The caste system is Hinduisms downfall.

[ThePseudoBasher]

@breadbutter12 as a matter of fact i do know those abrahamic cult masters...........sad ppl sad cults........caste sytem is dying is good news coz as per our scriptures it want meant to be there............don t tell me u consider tose assbag religions like islam and xianity as good ones..........they are hate spreadin gin name of crusades and jihaads

[breadbutter12]

@ThePseudoBasher caste system is dying...ya where...read the newspapers for a change....go ask any dalit what he thinks about the great hindu culture....just a bunch of hogwash....if you really are an SC you would know that...but you don't want you cause ur just another hinduvta totting high caste....

[breadbutter12]

@ThePseudoBasher caste system is dying...ya where...read the newspapers for a change....go ask any dalit what he thinks about the great hindu culture....just a bunch of hogwash....if you really are an SC you would know that...but you don't want you cause ur just another hinduvta totting high caste....

[ThePseudoBasher]

[breadbutter12]

[ThePseudoBasher]

@breadbutter12 oh i see ur having akind of orgasm...u made ur first joke....good for u

[ThePseudoBasher]

The best example is muslims in india , singing praises of arabs just coz their cult religion was started by them

[ThePseudoBasher]

I hope our muslim(who are under the influence of those deobandi thugs who are further bank rolled by wahabbis from Saudi Arabia) can learn this.......sad we have those thug deobandis here and also those vatican agents aka Christians

[ThePseudoBasher]

Awesome speech......Rahul sir, u have said what i have believed since so long.

[ThePseudoBasher]

Just look at pakistan....u have bunch of hate filled ppl, who have no identity but islam....what is pakistan nationalism, nothing....pakis are bunch of losers who sing praises for foreigners like Babur, Abdali, Ghazni, Ghauri, Qasim and abuse their own ppl like King Dahir.........why coz they have become muslims over the time and are taught to hate their oriental past....India is still they way it was, we do have the oldest continuous culture...pakis are still slave of arabs....epic fail!!

[checkthatnow]

He speaks english--I think he needs to be reminded of Macaulay.The guy seems to be caught up in the clutches of fanatic hindu literature. Grow up kiddos.The concept of India never had such vast land. C.F.,I am yet to come across a historical book that says India included any land below river godavari....let alone Pakistan and Bangladesh. OMG we need historians to speak about this...not an ignoramus guy...manufacturing history on stage!!!

[breadbutter12]

Noticed something about brahmins they always have to mention somewhere that they are ""Born into a Namboothiri Brahmin Family"...or something of that sort. Nobody else does that.

[pappiilon]

brilliant Rahul. All the best for TED.

[ThePseudoBasher]

I dont want to sound communal here....but the problem with India is the foreign abrahamic institutionalized religion like islam and christianity....Hinduism is more of a culture than religion....its like Egyptian culture, Mayan culture, Persian culture...similarily we have Indian culture i.e Hinduism.....mayans, persians and egyptians were converted by these abrahamic religion but we are still they way we use to be. these religions make our own ppl love vatican and mecca more than our country.

[checkthatnow]

@ThePseudoBasher sounds as though the guy is well versed in mayan,egyptian,persian culture.Every religion is a culture coz religion is cultivated in groups (F.Schliermacher).When you love your country, what do you actually love?...the soil/trees/what is it that you actually mean when you say you love your country?This 'love for country is a cliché....an unexplainable one...a myth!

[abc12348448]

@checkthatnow It is very evident that this user "checkthatnow" is not providing any counter point, or producing any research to prove the TEDx speaker wrong. Checkthatnow is not a patriot. Nor he has any idea of history, let alone the idea of India. India, the idea of India was there from time immemorial. If the idea of Indi was not there, how can India be defined as "Asetuhimachalam", from Himalaya to Ram Setu for milleniums. Please check facts as u talk. Dont make urself a fool.

[ThePseudoBasher]

@checkthatnow no every religion is not a culture....its like saying that every group is a culture....islam is a tool used by arabs to assert themself all around the world its simple....institutionalized religion like islam and christanity are farce....u have one book, which u r supposed to follow like crazies...lol....i mean if i m a muslim do i have to read kuraan for everything...its bullshit....both islam and christianity are imperial religions and culture killers....just look at pakistan...

[checkthatnow]

@ThePseudoBasher I think ignorants need to look at the definition of religion. There are scholars who spent a lifetime studying religion/s and defining them. Read some of them and then sing praises to such speeches. BTW: u learned to spell 'imperial' just because of English language...lol...and Arabs are a race...it is like telling Dravidians worshipped hindu gods!..OMG...asato ma sat gamaya....

[Hindu000Parliament]

@checkthatnow This person "CHECKTHATNOW"...is a planned propagandist for dividing Hindu & Hindustan. He brings up the childish, academically rejected, political tool of "Dravidian". For Eg: These anti Indians propagate "Dravidians were Shaivaites & Vishnu devotees / aryans / brahmins defeated them etc. This is a joke...the proof is Kashmiri Brahmins / pundits are the most pure, earlier form of Shaivaites. There is no Shiva/Vishnu or Dravidian / Aryan divide. They are all Hindus / Hindustani

[Hindu000Parliament]

@checkthatnow It is an accepted fact to those who seriously enquire that Wahabi, Salafi funded Terrorists are against Majority of Peaceful Muslims themselves. They are against Sunni / Shia / and against all other world.

[ThePseudoBasher]

@checkthatnow yeah ignorants need to know and analyze what religion is....islam and christianity are cults....like swami nityanand's cult....muhammad also had some rough sex and so did jesus....they were swami nityanada of their time....lol...they just didn't have cameras in those days....and btw Arabs are a country...like Saudi Arabia....ever heard of ARAB-persian rivalry or ARAB-israel conflict.....jesus and muhammad were like nityananda, just a lil more successful....lol..

[lunatickerala]

Religion is the curse why India is still immersed in filth, poverty, selfishness, arrogance and ignorance. Cancer called religion and caste.
