i guess our country lacks unity.

it shows clearly:

ppl call kalaripayattu as a keralan martial art.

thang ta as manipuri and gatka as a sikh martial art.our country seriously lacks unity.

have a look at koreans,japanese and chinese for example.they call their style as their own country's, why can't we do that?

@anirudhkrishnamani dude you cant compare unicolour and rainbow...India will always be a rainbow...a unique combination of colours...your idea of a Unicolour India never exists....please study the history of present India(u might not get in text books) then you will get all your answers..

[anirudhkrishnamani]

but i like the rainbow colors to be together not seperate like we are (in the sense of our mindset).

whatever u may say but we indians hate each other.

c'mon there is a gujarati association,marathi asssociation,tamil asssociation etc. in the U.S.

but not one single indian association.

i'm not saying that we should all be the same but what i am saying is that we must be united.

[wolfzwizdom]

@anirudhkrishnamani Because realizing differences and accepting and embracing the fact is unity. besides real seekers of martial practices know that a martial art goes beyond name and culture.

[m3ngnificient]

@anirudhkrishnamani It is called "Unity in Diversity". when I'm in India, I'm a Manipuri. When I'm here, I'm an Indian. That is what India should be proud of. We have our own cultural identity, but in the end, we are Indians.!!!!!

[anirudhkrishnamani]

@m3ngnificient

that's fine man i'm saying we shouldn't forget that we're indians first cuz youtube is for the world not just for india so "here" they've could've said indian martial art.

[crashdnburndtwice]

its not about being offended. its the ancient traditional name of the art. no can do with change. need to keep up with the culture and its origin.

[xannut]

(WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS CALL IT AN INDIAN MARTIAL ART??does the word indian sound offensive??)

why not human martial art?? y just INDIAN !! :)

[hotpopcorncake]

why not called it Indian sword fighting ?i mean there Japanese MA and Chinese why ?its like if there was Eskimo martial art ,and i can't say its Eskimo cause its sound offensive ,what you suspect me to say ?martial art that from north pole?or santa cluas martial art s

[yashil17]

you know what we should and what the creator of this martial art would've called it?

the name of the original Origin/Race of India,

Ariyan

(If you think that im refering to hitler, then you are not an original Indian person, nor would you have any knowledge of history)

[sl760389]
