So u show humanism by dumping your wife! charity starts at home.... these guys give long speech but cant find a single issue behind their back... First show credits for the scenes you rip from other english movies... and show humanism!
Oh if humanism is so important... cant he show something to the heroines he is pairing with not just as sex and kiss machines! Dont they deserve some humanism... mr Crationalist!
V already have rituals and tradition of our own...instead of blindly following it ...first help and do good things to people who u r seeing ....Afterall Life is a short period between birth and death (Some greatman told this) ..in this lull be a human first and then follow rituals and religion...always Kamal is great
He is suggesting that Christians have accepted Evolution and Hindus have somehow not. Are you f***ing kidding me! Has he ever talked to an Evangelist or been in America. And he i talking bad about a culture/religion which has spoken about evolution for thousands of years. Our whole Avatar system is based on it.And he is talking about the whole world going towards rationalism. Does he see/read/hear the news around the World? He is great actor and I think he should limit himself to it.
Everybody believes in something. He is talking about cave men as if he sat next to them and saw them evolving. After all he is believing the Scientists. If he is so rational as he boasts, then he shouldn't be referring to some European Scientists. He should have himself done the research and then prove what his points. I don't know how come he or any of his 'Rational' friends have usurped 'humanism' as if none of the religions have. And he is also undermining Hindus.
I partly agree with you. But no person who is rational can be ever brainwashed into any belief system.. But you know after all this protest made by Dravidian movements, little has been changed in the social structure of Tamilnadu... Casteism still exists ....
He is a good actor indeed a very good actor too. We all know his liberal views some time uber liberal views; he does not believe in anything except himself. But in my mind he still lacks maturity. Why cannot he ever speak about other religions? Being a genius he knows his friends in other religion will not tolerate any of this nonsense. Hindus and Hinduism alone tolerate his blabbering.
@itsmycontact So he lacks maturity because he doesn't speak about other religions? Why do you want him to speak about all religions? He was born in a Hindu family; he can only relate to instances from HIS life.
@itsmycontact People like you are a curse to India. people like you just do your job, make money, fuck your wife, make children, die. You contribute nothing to the community that you live in. People like you actually benefit from the social changes that people like Kamal have helped make. MOron. DEMOCRACY IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT. PARTICIPATE. And to not curse that actually are doing something.
I would just like to point out that this is not a place for petty religious debates. The message here is that of humanism - values we all share. The fact that it is coming from Kamal Haasan is rather irrelevant. If anything it just shows that you don't need to belong to any religion in order to be a good human being, just like how many religious people appreciate humanistic values. But to nitpick here and point out how he attacks one religion and not another is totally missing the point.
Great speech. I'm a big fan of Kamal, but one thing i don't understand is whether he an atheist or anti Hindu.I have never seen him criticizing the bad practices of other major religions , but why just Hinduism , is it just b'cos it's more tolerant ? IMHO all religions have equal share of good and bad.
@zzgani1978 .You have hit the nail exactly.He is talking about Vatican,Pope acknowledging Darwin's effort and changing times,Does he even know that Hinduism has never even criticized the theory of evolution?,that they have never hanged anyone for saying that the world is a sphere?...Probably he knows but he is just one of those pseudo rationalists who wants to seek acceptance from the non brahmin community by posing himself to make people think that he is one of those "different" people
@avalanche1115 Hinduism is one the probably few religions which supports the theory of evolution with its great references to its Avatars . But on the other part of hanging non believers,one can't completely agree as many Hindu kings (including many south Indian kings) have killed Buddhist and Jain monks who came to propagate their religion, but that has got nothing to do with Hinduism or Sanatana dharma.
@zzgani1978 Linking avatars to evolution is vague and superficial... I don't know about religions, but you have to be a nonbeliever in order to free your mind and completely understand the world.
Talking about religion as something that came in the middle, well, what does he want people to do?..lol...to go back to stone and live as per instincts of nature?...the world is itself a temporary place which came in between life and death, so whats his take on that?
Call me whatever but this is the best speech in Indian history. Period!!
PS: i didnt know kamal hassan was a rationalist, but i have new found respect for Mr kamal and his work needs no introduction. He is a legend in field of acting but this effort of kamal hassan has made him a much better person Human. India doesnt need anymore religions or religious ppl we have plenty, ITS ABOUT TIME FOR GOD DAMN RATIONALITY!!
Ideologies of a philosopher, knowledge of an historian, eloquence of a politician, critical thinking of a rationalist, vision of a leader, heart of a humanitarian- Kamal Haasan.
Kudos to Kamal Sir...I had always been a fan for your acting skills...I don know since when i became a fan of yours..all this while i was thinking tat since my dad liked u, i started liking you..but sir u r so unique...its a brilliant speech...just like ur anyother speeches..Your speech should not taken in a tongue in cheek manner. This has to be carried out to reach a wider audience, so that they give a thought of organ donation......You are so proud of being human...Am proud to be ur fan
rationalism ?? haha... Philosophers would toss him up in a second !
yes, he has a good heart and is doing good !
but his views on rationalism and morality are completely out of the box.
Any ancient or mordern scholar on subject of rationality/morality can dismiss his views in a minute !
Kamal is a good human and probably one of the best. But to accept his rationality or moral worldview is completely impossible. His own sentences self contadict and multiple violation of non-contradiction law.
@ueahunt Can you please explain this "non-contradiction law"? Is it in any judicial books that you found or did the divine millions of gods come down to explain its meaning? I am laughing at your comment because you have no idea what you are talking about hahahahaha..
Said it all. @ueahunt speaks like another religious apologist who knows nothing about philosophy, but plenty about verbal gymnastics used to justify archaic beliefs.
@donatelloyt This speech, I gather, is from his 56th Birthday celebration. The full video mainly addresses his fans and is mostly about films. I edited out the portion where he talks about rationalism. Anyways you can view Part 1 of the full video here
awesome, hope other celerbriteis follow his steps to make that IMPACT in organa nd body donation kudos kamal hassan have always been your fan now more so :-)
wow. so much respect for him.
