About the Speaker:
Dr. Koenraad Elst was born in Leuven, Belgium, on 7 August 1959, into a Flemish (i.e. Dutch-speaking Belgian) Catholic family. He graduated in Philosophy, Chinese Studies and Indo-Iranian Studies at the Catholic University of Leuven. During a stay at the Benares Hindu University, he discovered India’s communal problem and wrote his first book about the budding Ayodhya conflict.
While establishing himself as a columnist for a number of Belgian and Indian papers, he frequently returned to India to study various aspects of its ethno-religio-political configuration and interview Hindu and other leaders and thinkers. His research on the ideological development of Hindu revivalism earned him his Ph.D. in Leuven in 1998. He has also published about multiculturalism, language policy issues, ancient Chinese history and philosophy, comparative religion, and the Aryan invasion debate.

Very good presentation
Instead of one long video, it should be split in shorter videos with different episodes/parts which will increase viewership.
great work.
Doctor how can two political opposition parties to work together when the Gandhi family always hd the say.
I suppose you cannot allow “proselytizing”, but I do urge anyone coming to Texas USA in the Austin area to check out the Christian / Indian language Life Impact Church, Pastor Samkutty, and hear the truth of Christ on your own language

What’s with the English being so terrible? And that’s notwithstanding the grammatical issues …
Taking the idol of another is recounted in the Bible, in the Jewish scriptures:.when the Philistines (colonizers from the island of Crete) stole the “Ark of the Covenant” which sadly the Jewish people had begun to worship: not just keep as a remembrance of God’s miracles in the exodus from Egypt… but God (of the Jews and Christians) the only true God, brought not success but a curse upon the Philistine idol-thieves: until the cancerous disease God brought upon Philistia forced the Philistines to return the Ark of the Covenant to Israel: in this way God not only taught Israel not to worship OBJECTS like the Ark, which were to be more like a museum piece and educational, not an idol; but taught God’s enemies the Philistines that the true God of Israel is no mere idol to be stolen: but had real power to punish nations which do not acknowledge Him. This will happen at length to all religions, and even the Jews will accept God in Christ, when they “look upon the one they have pierced” (Jesus, the savior they rejected) and help evangelize the whole world during the tribulation which will mark the end of mere human and satanic rule of earth -and the start of the true Kingdom of God. So, sad as it is to destroy a Hindu temple, since they represent pagan worship as bad as that of worshipping the Ark, both the Ark and the Hindu temples will be left on the ash heap of history -talk to Jesus in your heart and ask if I am correct in these things
