I think a very basic thing which is missing for most Indians is that before the tool of thinking is developed by an individual, a template to set their beliefs and virtues is given to them through sitcoms, tv series, movies , local culture, etc. Black and white thinking originates from there.
Global cultures give the individual a false sense of belongingness, which they keep un upgrading as it keeps on flowing more and more. The individual doesn't get the peaceful time to stop and think, that hey, why am I doing this exactly?
But Bhai I have a doubt , we follow western singers and dancers and tries to be like them puri Tarah nahi but we try to be like them so is this thing is also wrong basically I am asking if I am singing English song like them in proper acent and proper notes and if I am dancing any dance from not from India like popping so is this is also wrong thing. Bhai I am 16 and I am so confused about this. 😢pl explain me
@@shrishri8898 Learning a language for our convenience and adopting or copying a culture to be cool are two different things.
Look at Chinese, Japanese, French, Germans...they speak English only to communicate but their deep rooted culture is as it is...
Brother, I have a ton of respect for your Over the top non-conservative modest approach to treating current societal gender norms, I truly believe that you fumbled on making your points clear at all stages...
One must stay true to their own grounds of validating ideologies and not switch back and forth between two-contrastingly distinctive agendas!
If I misinterpreted it, my BAD!
But I would love to get your individual response to this, before we make some false assumptions.
With all due respect : Thank you for inspiring us !!
Love you Shwetabh Brother😍
Jo log shuru se muh phod ke kuchh bhi puchh lete hn wo bhi western h.......jo puraane zamaane se sunte hn hum.......dabangayi m kisi bhi ladki se direct interaction krli😂......bhai bhot badhiya aur gjbb baat kr rha h tu😂

I agree with the conclusion. Many Indians are trying to preserve the Indian culture but their idea of "Indian Culture" is either from the time of Mughal/Sultan oppression or from British oppression period. We should preserve our original culture which tbh was quite open, respectful towards others and celebrated critical thinking.
Sexuality was never suppressed in ancient times
Yeh bilkul correct bole aap
Sahi hai yaar... misogyny aayi hai Mughal se, homophobia British kaal se aaya hai...
No doubt rohan is amazing at interacting with someone. This podcast felt actually like two people are talking and are presenting their views and queries on something and getting the answer to the same
Loved this interaction
Totally agree with you the same thing I also found intersting about this interaction and the way Swetabh explains by breaking down complex issues in simple tems is way too alluring makes the conversation way too interesting.
@@himadriupadhyaya5129 Yes shwetabh is doing what he generally does that is breaks complex things but here the main thing was even rohan was interested in talking and putting his points forward unlike the other people who came to the podcasts who just sat down and answered questions like they are in a school viva and only shwetabh initiated the talks
@@sus2576 yes exactly
You could have roasted vedant
No Matter how much we get influenced by Western culture we should never leave behind our indian culture. Americans are proud on their culture then why not we
Nobody even cares what American's (and here I am talking about native Americans 😂😂)
Kyuki humari desh ki halat hi chutiya hai so the youth(including me in some aspects) has started to look down on all Indian things instead of looking down on specific Indian things
Bhai Western art is best for me ig....i m not underestimating Indian art
@@bellahadid7787 I agree
Even if we try to, we can't,unless ofcourse you are talking about Indians living abroad,
The way Rohan keeps listening when swetabh explains something even if he has a doubt is just amazing!!!!
Yeah he is a good listener
Its very interesting because as shwetabh says in collectivist cultures people are private but in those cultures also we can say different shades or levels of that for example in korea or in japan in trains you will not see strangers interacting with each other but in india we see that all the time
korea has lost its culture

Sir According to you what are the main differences between modernisation and westernisation ? Because people often think that both are the same so it is very difficult to draw a line between the two
You have been taught by continuous media (unintended) training that both words are synonymous. The media is not run by enlightened thinking people, it's people like us, who follow and repeat whatever they had learned.
The fact that we even believe that modern is western is a big win for the west in terms of soft power. Because it means the only way to be modern is to become western (what a neat trick).
South Korea, Japan, India, even China are very modern. Indians may be behind the first two nations but becoming "western" does not mean modern.
Modern is separate. Western is separate. One can be achieved without the other. Is the west modern? Yes. Is modernism being west? NO.
What is modern? Being current with the needs of time in terms of human freedom to live, thrive, and consume. One can be collectivist and modern. One can be individualist and modern. One can be part collectivist part individualist and modern too.
Westernisation is basically following the western culture influenced by the west's approach of things for example If one wears a suit and blazer and walk around he might be considered as a educated and highly paid guy in front of the crowd, here in India, but If I wear a Kurta and a Dhoti and wear chappals and walk around in which I feel comfortable people will think I'm uneducated and not modern even though I might be more than educated than the Suit guy even without knowing my modern thoughts and ideas in the society. Modernity is accepting modern values, thoughts, current trends and ideas without hampering our culture in the indic society
@@aspirant4478 dressing style mainly depends upon the geographical region. In long its just became part of culture.
Modern age, is about using reason over myth. Using rationality over blind faith. Modernity is about improving your culture, attitude, behaviour to ensure you take more logical decisions.
Westernisation is imitation of west, accepting their value directions. All your fads, most of them, are westernisation. There is hardly any internal evaluation & progress linked to it. Like a person who has luxurious lifestyle, owns sedans, has Apple Watch, but still believes in dowry system, or justifies misogyny, is he modern?
On the contrary, say, I will give you my father’s example. A 10th std educated guy, who is okay with wife educating, surpassing him. Who is okay with equal division of labour at home. Who celebrates when girl child is born. Who calls waiter betaji, and invites postman kaka to family functions, because sab family hai, uch nich ka kya hi karna hai, kya ye modern nahi hai?
Bss itni clarity chahiye zindgi mei
My man is spitting facts that are in front of me and I haven't noticed that ever
May be we need to redefine our way / rules of our culture (after all the invasions , British rule, slavery , suppression etc ) in our own unique way which is appropriate with current situations. Maybe culture and human learning to deal with life and society is always changing in new ways with time. Interesting conversation shwetabh bhayya
The fact that you guys understand historical perspectives behind the behaviour is great most people don't even know about it
Being humble and self doubt dono me clarity honi chaahiye
The person should be like I m really good at it
But there can be someone better
I think culture is an ever-changing concept in india it is bound to change every 10 years, you just have to see high school students in india 10 years they had no idea of relationships, but now the situation is changing.
We went from land of Kamasutra to sex is a taboo
And now we are suffering in a hedonistic culture
@@sachinkumar-rk9df influenced by colonizers
@@vector3d654 in our Vedas also we have place for people who wants to live Hedonistic lifestyle. I think we have many misconceptions about our culture. Our culture is not only dependent upon religion, it is heavily influenced by islamic culture hindu culture was always more open minded. The literal translation of bharat means seeker of knowledge
I like shwetabh's excitement on clubbing india with "asian culture".. But educated urbanites, who matter are far from traditional indians. We are effectively an extension of american imperialism in cultural sphere. Ex being on this new fad of pronouns, we have been quicker to adopt this American zeitgeist than even continental europeans say French or italians. Our skin is brown but we(the urban elites) are more american than serbians or croats or mexicans. Religion is slowly receding from public life, used only as tool of identity assertion rather than spiritual fulfillment, regarded as instrument of oppression. Result being a generation of megalomaniac narcissistic psychopaths who cry at smallest of dissatisfaction. We are geographically Asian but please don't club us with China or japan. A china type Internet firewall is only way if we want to save what's left of indian culture.
Confucian culture has derived some of their practices from dharmic culture, therefore the closest representation of what dharmic culture without Islamic and british colonization would be resembling the east asian cultures.
Well said
9:10
In the past 200-500 yrs India's conservative culture is extremely influenced by islamic rulers/invaders , specially belifs against women.
After that Christianity views on things also became mainstream due to british invasions
You can read accounts of foreign travellers in india and see how they differentiated momdans and Hindus
Even India's LGBT/ gay opinions stem more from Christianity and Islam .
And even today wether you're in support of gay people or against all opinions come from America itself
American hegemony
Okay........🥴 blame muslims and christians
@@classyeditz5005 it's true be west ka kya khud ka culture nahi hai kya agar greek mythology padho
I just loved the conversation.
Our belief system (Hindus I mean) is polytheistic.
We believe there can be multiple god's, multiple good ideas.
We are accomodating to various point of views unlike others who are like as you said more about "I"
I am the best
My idea is best
My god is best.
So westerners are always self centred, they always talk about keeping themselves happy first, they have more children's but small family..
This topic can go on n on..very Interesting 👌👍
Hmm...
Very well explained👍
Not multiple gods, multiple representations of paramatma
That's not true. They're an individualistic culture, not self centered. Being individualistic doesn't mean being self centered. Yeah a lot of them are self centered, but all of us are self centered to a certain extent.
An individualistic culture actually has quite a few great advantages.
Collectivism is not about accepting multiple ides and beliefs wo to liberalism ho gaya Collectivism actually means to strongly believe and follow the traditions and rules of your own group this same thing can be applied on religious communities also.
yeah but they are supreme above us till the start this hard fact is tough to digest to you who feed on validation daily have not achieved anything in life bring the Hindu caste system and you will shit in your pants the discrimination breast tax by brahmin in Kerala Tamilnadu Periyar was a great man he destroyed Hinduism completely no place for RSS there Dandekar hated Hinduism too core just read the book he ultimately converted to Buddhism leaving this cult the world longest oppression for 2500 years
The day people will discover the true side of ancient bharat, no one will turn to western culture anymore.
People don't realise how powerful is Bhartiya culture.
We need a mix brother, world won't function our way. Like Japan they take their ancient culture seriously at the same time have a modern outlook as well. We need both to survive. Though I can say our ancient culture has some amazing things and philosophies we need to read abt and revive again.
@@mtk3755 Yes. You have stated the correct point here. A mix of both would be really good.
the more you push people towards indian culture, the more you drive them away
It is not
@@mtk3755 how much do we really know the indian culture? That's the biggest question we should ask ourselves first.
And I am not saying that world must follow our because that will be the most fullish statement to make. Every land has its own culture and everyone should respect it but at the same time if we indian don't understand our culture then how it's going to survive.
There are many misunderstanding and misinformation about it which made people believe it's such a outdated, old and medieval that's why we see many of our generation trolls it and glorifies western.
Let people understand our culture first, let it become the part of your daily life then only we will able to modernise it.
Thanks for putting light in my dil ki baat !
How's that
I think then we have to find a sweet spot in between not blinding following western culture and at the same time letting go of our old unneeded superstitions and traditions and take only the good from both different cultures in everything that we do .!!!
Right! 👍
To realize and understand the core of Indian thinking, philosophy etc, one must come to Vedanta(Gitas & Upanishads). That's the core thing that made India "The golden bird" in the past. The more we know ourselves, the more we will think efficiently and live according to our values.
(Acharya prashant's commentaries are excellent if you want to study Vedanta)
And the governments should also ban irrelevant and anti cultural books like manusmriti
I watched Acharya Prashant video too
Upanishad should be promoted
Absolutely, one has to discard all the irrelevant things and keep the timeless lessons derived from Indian Philosophy.
Apart from upanishads and vedanta there are also other philosophies like ajivika , samkhya and charvaka that were popular in ancient times we should also promote them .
@@shivamsingh-cl4zw yes,we should take forward good things from the past and cultural values and implement it practically
Changing with times is very important, we should discard bad and irrelevant things like caste system and others. We should revive the cultural values,not the whole societal system like it was
Such that any person born in India instills culture in themm irrespective of their religion or caste.
@@haftavasuli7162 But sadly 😥 indian culture ki bhi hum sirf negative chizon par hi dhayn dete hai aur modernism ke nam pur west ko blindly follow karte hai.

Best explanation about collectivism . properly explained shwetabh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 bhai 👍👍
Just because some things are not in our culture doesn't mean that it should not be done. Cultures change from time to time. Also most importantly in today's modern world abiding by the culture is not the norm, but about the independence of everyone as long as they abide by the law
Regression in name of culture shift has to be prevented tho
Sucker for Western ideology or values
western culture is garbage lol
"We went from land of Kamasutra to sex is a taboo"
This is what transformation means to our indian culture, we have literally made our culture worst while changing it.
In other words, we take bad things from other culture and implement in ours instead of taking the good ones.
Another thing, there is nothing as american culture, US was built by vanishing real Americans(native ones).
my mann!! shwetabh
Wow…always knew and felt that there is a thing like this..just didn’t know WHY..!! beautify explained as always… now I can put two and two together, connect the dots and it starts making more sense..
Also explains why it’s one of the biggest reasons behind ‘log kya kahenge’ and Arranged marriages being deeply rooted in our culture..why ‘atithi devo bhava’ is definitively Indian as we keep guests above us…why sometimes we’re more likely to follow the group and herd blindly..why there’re so many people in particular single fields like doctor and engineers..!!
So true 👍
Well indian society might be collective but it is not like Chinese or Japanese socities
For example china is very good at maneuvering its people collectively which is why they as a civilization are good at constructing huge mega projects today. The same does not happen in India , Japanese care very much about the surrounding and community collectively which is
why its very clean and hygienic over there
Somehow I find Indian society even though collective but still dysfunctional in many ways.
Cultural destruction and oppression of 1000 year doesn't found in china and japan.so compare According to situation.
Just read about the rich history of India's culture and civilization.
We have been invaded by Mughals n Britishers that's why we are dysfunctional i feel
We have doubts or are underconfident to be comfortable with our collective group identity.
Tumhare jaise chutiye bas blame karte hai aur khud kuch nhi karte usko teekh karne ke liye
And Japan has highest suicide rate in the world.
@@KaitoSan777 suicide rate is high in India too, also that's not an excuse to be dirty
Really great discussion and example
I agree all these things are a waste of time and energy and disasterours for emotions, but American are progressing mostly because of the individualistic thinking, they don't care what people will think nor bond with pressure with several people around them as in case of India(society) which gives them liberty to do anything, as if we try to take any good initiatives, society>friends>realtives>family, we have to go through this whole process, where 99% good actions which were Worthy are ended up.
That's y I support American philosophy, execpt in this case,
We must learn from them!
Jaroori nahi hai America ki har cheez Accha hi ho
China and Japan are also a part of collectivist culture, but sometimes even way ahead in technology than America.

Problem is western culture has become a pioneer of liberalism now and countries specially developing ones try to see west as happiest place of planet. With radical ideas of tribalism, west is switching to primate culture and it can be speculated that with this up for a longer time, would be fall of west. Third world inhabitants try to equalize primate culture of west as reason for their economic prosperity, which is false. Usa today is built on the graveyard of cultures and they have just one culture atm which is primitive values above all

Because mughals never reached there, while in north they had influenced very much.
So this use to happen: In mughal times, mughals use to kidnap the bride if the vidaayi use to happen in afternoon, so people decided to do the vidaayi in morning when they cannot see them.
Not a made up shit, you can search about it.

Even now Americans hate their pseudo lifestyles... but our new generation, specially those gen Z girls are highly obsessed with their lifestyles.
Really loved how this guy (now i know he's rohan) counter questions. One thing I feel in podcasts is that i would ask some questions if i was there, but here i felt contented with the counter questions.

This notion that girl and boys are totally not comfortable to talk with opposite gender, is weird, I never see this. I am from traditional family, but never restricted to talk to any gender.
You can describe the culture & nature of majority but can't bind people into a single string.That's how we human beings are.Divided but when needed are never hesitated to come forward for achieving the same goal whether be it for the shake of country as like freedom movements or anything else but at the same time some will obviously oppose your.
Among the 7 billion people in this world different opinions,different cultures will exist and if everything became same that is a state of equilibrium which we generally can't achieve,only tends to that. As under the same genus many different species exists likewise we, Homo sapiens are the same species but divided by different cultures,religions,cast,community & population.
No offense collective culture has its own problems which often go unaddressed. China is a collectivist society but its society has serious social problems right now , same thing in japan and Korea but they don't want to address it for example korea has highest rates of suicides of youth in the worldbut they don't want to address the problem in their society etc . My point is no society is perfect west has its own problems east has its own. Indian problem is even more complex because our society is way too much diverse and complicated .

When people get distance from core philosophies and get detached from roots it's bound to happen. Take yoga meditation for example. In ancient India youth used to focus on these things family values society dharma karma being fit and honing their skills. Now tell me how many kids start imbibing these values from childhood. How many schools these days teach us that? Maybe few started recently but no one did it before 10 years ago or since independence. Another reason is teaching inaccurate history.

Podcasts are also originally "American"
Bollywood is main reason behind selling this pesudo american crap.its all started from movies like dil wale dulhaniya le jayenge.
Rohan kariappa is a great listener
We, as humans, follow/copy the ones who seem more successful than others. And, we will agree that the Americans are the most successful currently, at least in terms of materialism. So, it is natural to copy the Americans in the current situation where in spite of the so called 'the great ancient Indian knowledge' that we had, we could not save India's ancient greatness and glory from some invaders. This makes us Indians feel small wrt ourselves and we don't feel that proud anymore. On top of that, there is so much mess in the name of 'Indian culture' like the sexual oppression talked about in the video, that it doesn't feel like we would want to be a part of all this. I think that instead of thinking in terms of trying to restore former Indian glory, we should do work according to the current situations to make the contemporary India glorious instead of trying to restore the India that existed thousands of years ago because no one can relate to that India anymore. Let's use our intelligence and make that happen not read some obsolete texts and try to implement them in the contemporary India because that will add to the mess already existing and confuse us further.
irony is that ur channel concept is american , app is american, outfit is american and british and thats not wrong . if we want to develop we have to absorb other cultures also also , i will rather have braids like black bhais then to dress up like britishers

* In the book Breaking India by Rajeev Malhotra it is written that, When Thomas Babingnton Macaulay came to India for first time. He wrote to The Empire that Indians are too liberal.
* The Kamasutra ( self explanatory)
* There used be a game named "ghat kanchuki" in which equal number adults from both sexes participated at night, where the women would take off their cholis and put them in a matka. The men then picked cholis from the container and whosoever's clothing they ended up with, would be their partner for the night (no matter the caste or relationship status).
So , I don't really think that the idea of being open to opposite sex is a foreign idea.
Very insightful
Best conversation between two great people
Swetabh itna theoretical gyaan talta hai with each episode jiski had nahi...yeh Banda obsessed hai Human Psyche ko janne mei yeh toh clear hai...isko sunn ke Aisa lagta hai ki Humans are like machines which operate based on some common instruction manual at both conscious and subconscious level.
Which is true however, agreed upon by neurologists
You make so much sense
Har Society me Har tarha ke log hote h jyada ya kam hoskte h but hote jrur h and adapt good one from other cultures too being a global citizen is not bad,culture keeps change it never settle it upgrades.
Great one❤❤
we discarded many cultural thing what we used to connsider thousand years ago for good. What are the potential drawbacks if people are taking inspiration from west? Based on what I should consider "our way" is better than "their way"?
West is on the verge of falling, so better not go that way because we're not well enough like them to handle what comes around with it
@suryashekhar_434 this doesn't answer my question ) When did I say to blindly follow another culture? Make no mistake, west also took a lot of inspiration from us for good like veganism, yoga etc. I don't see anything wrong in that.
I didn't grow up with Indians. I grew up with 'aspiring Americans'.
Swetabh ur legend truth telling
bahot bahot jyada insightful.
Their are basically two fundamental approaches exists in culture one is evolutionary and other is diffusionist. You are totally wrong in your assumption. Specifically for Japan read about national characters. In science every thought must be emparically justified not bases on personal opinion.
It is not personal opinion. This is mainstream well empirically researched social psychology.
@@GangstaPerspectives I know but u have to understand masses do not understand, various perspectives to see same thing. Every perspective came up with its unique flaws. Like here in ur just see people's think their is only philosophy exists in India culture but in reality their six different philosophy schools in Indian.
@@goswamimohit no , everyone knows there are multiple Philosophy in India.
And which only Philosophy u are talking about, that everyone knows
Nice conversation

What is ur thoughts on Jordan Peterson's Daughter? She is doing the very thing, her father do not support. She was posting stories looking for babysitter online, so that she can go party as a single working mom.
there's plenty of show-off in weddings in india, esp. in North
Yeah, that too is very against the essence of Indian culture
Our culture is collectivist and socialist
Show off thing is a kind of insecurity
This has started from weddings of Kings in India. They used to do marriage in a grand manner. Locals didn't have that privilege. Nowadays it has become so prevalent. It is a status symbol sadly. People need to think about this. When one family doesn't have that much privilege then marriage shouldn't be too extravagant and done in constrained manner. People need to understand marriage as an event isn't the most imp thing, the life after it is more imp.
It's not just about wedding.indians nowdays generally try to show off about everything.we are loosing main assense of our culture.
Wedding are meant to be ostentatious
