Rajiv Malhotra was selected to deliver this prestigious lecture at India International Center, Delhi. His topic was to discuss his next book, which deals with:
1) Why Grand Narratives are important for major countries.
2) Did India have a Grand Narrative in the past, and if so, what was it?
3) How did this Indian Grand Narrative get disrupted: by Islamic, European and post-Independence Indian forces?
4) What attempts were made by nationalists in the past 200 years to restore or reconstruct our Grand Narrative.
5) What is the way forward to create a narrative of who we are collectively?

Rajivji is a modern Rishi.
How many will support for a Padma Bhushan for him? Please leave a comment.
chiron kalki why not? just today modi ji talked about veer sarvarkar. check that out :)
Vijay G sincerely Rajiv ji deserves padmabhushan
+Rahul M : Dost, i grew up in India on supposedly "indigenous" curriculum, and i also got the same vibe there. We were made to feel ashamed of the hindu heritage. Now I am a graduate, and with my independent research found most of the things taught to us were completely false.
and Bharat Ratna for Dr. Subramanian Swamy.
He is Modern Swami Vivekananda,
He is already Vishwa Ratna, even Barath ratna is small for him
I would urge every Hindu to donate to his Foundation - The Infinity Foundation. I saw so many of his lectures and dialogues that I contributed to his foundation.
I am NRI and have listened to many of your talks. Excellent lecture!
Unfortunately the neo Indian generation is totally suffering from confusionism about their identity.....Shri Rajiv Malhotra ji is doing an enormous service to Indians to re-kindle their identity....
*Confusion
For god sake someone give him a Bharat Ratna. What an outstanding intellectual warrior. Truly one of a kind Gem from India.
Deserves 1M views.
Indians busy watching Bollywood bullshit or reading Marxist books to pass exams to get a job
100M
It should be 1.3 billion.. this video should reach each and every Indian
35Crore views needed
After watching you sir , l now insist on calling myself only lndian....l am proud of my great ancient land and my ancestors who always fought for dharma....l am teaching my chidren also about our great dharmic history....
Finally someone who took on the constitution. Loved this talk.
Full of flaws.
I have seen that but few people as as much impact as Rajiv Malhotra.
Aviram Vijh
then explain the flaws?
Are you sure right wingers question you too ,because I am right wing. Strong right wing, most of the people I know are also very strong right wing and all unanimously agree that the Indian Constitution is imported ! There is no doubt in our minds on whether it needs to be changed or not.
Aviram Vijh Sepoy
He should be given the highest civilian award .... He is a true scholar, I bow down to the work he is doing.
Thousand thanks to Rajiv ji. I have read two books by him and many videos. I pray he lives for>100 years to teach us, youngsters, so that Bharatiya culture remains अमर.
Jai Shri Ram!
Pranam to rajiv malhotra ji. Best wishes
The Modern Parshuram- Defending Dharma - Guru Rajiv ji.
This is Just A History Talk. Without understanding Puranas and Rishis Like Vasishta One cannot talk about Our Grand Narrative. Osho-J Krishnamurti-UG Krishnamurti played their part in that Grand Narrative. The Enemy is Materialism... New World Order..Global Elite.
Thank you Rajivji. As was mentioned in this video, I would like to make a quick note about the mentality of Indians attacking other Indians. I see this often these days that when any article/video on India is posted, particularly if it is negative, the very first thing that Indians do is to apologize for it and then they blame/attack other Indians. No one actually takes the time to check and see if in fact the negative information posted is accurate and what the agenda of the individuals is, when posting the article.
Also when understanding the root cause of an issue in India, Indians tend to blame each other without actually checking to see if there are any external influences on the problem. It is equally important to identify the external/foreign sources of problems just as it is to identify internal sources of the problems.
Lot's of Love and respect from Mumbai
Rajivji-this is needed badly! I challenged all my teachers on the so called Indian History taught in America! 🙏 thank you!
Why is it that everytime I listen to Rajiv ji, I feel like I have added 10 points to my IQ? He's so enlightening! Truly a guru.
India have history of great Kingdoms of all time, we have best Dharma in the world, we have best culture. Narrative of Indian culture is grandest to the any other cultures. We will defeat every other narrative.
Jay shree ram.
Great ! Yes, India badly needs a grand narrative. Looking forward to your book. Because it's a ' Mahakatha of Bharat, ' the book will eventually require translated copies in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali and other languages. The point is to spread the idea of ' Bharat ki Mahakatha ' to as many Indians as possible. So that eventually it becomes a reality. Jai Ho !
Amazing lecture sir. Your talks, books & references are precious. Its for the youths now to share and shape your ideas of 'Soft Power Reparations' & 'Mutual Understanding'.
One question I have in my mind - I am in my 30's and have been traveling the Himalayan range for last few years, documenting temples, traditions & cultures. In my journey across Nepal, I have come across villages & mountain ranges that resembles in their names the great Indian historical association. My question is , Where does Nepal fall in your Great Indian Narrative project?
Note: Prithvi Narayan Shah, who is considered as the founding father of Nepal has Islamic ancestral lineage & the pre-Nepal that existed before him were Tribal kingdoms (like Kirat) & Hindu kingdoms (Lichhavi dynasty).
And to quote the word 'Breaking India forces', Nepal herself is under attack from the same force. Being one of the last Hindu majority country, Nepal needs her own 'Khastriyas' to protect and preserve what still shines in the glory of her past.
श्रीमान बहुत उन्नत कार्य कर रहे हो साधुवाद आपको ।
निज भाषा उन्नति ही सब उन्नति के मूल।
जब तक आप भारतीयो को उनकी भाषा मे नही समझाओगे तब तक वो अंग्रेजी ओर अंग्रेजो को ही महान मानते रहेंगे।
ये भोसडीके नहीं समाझेंगे।।
Rajiv ji, thanks for uploading this video. For the last 7-8 days i was constantly refreshing the youtube 3-4 times a day just to see if you have uploaded a new video.
nakul agnihotri do something on your own and use his videos as a add on. Do hardwprk and purbapaksha on your own.
He uploads new videos only at 6 PM IST every Monday nowadays.
So no need to refresh that much everyday.
Also link to the Swadeshi Indology conference 3 channel is :

Incase you didn't know
great lecture......india or bharat need the grand narrative....
Brilliant words by Rajivji! Thanks!
Ati uttam👏👏🙏🕉...top class talks & suggestions...by Rishi Rajiv Malhotra ji..He is doing more than what Cultural Ministry, PMO & External affairs ministers should have done..HE IS DECOLONIZING THE MINDS OF INDIANS..in an unprecedented way which is actually "VIKAS" in true sense..
Unless you unlearn old concepts/habits , how can you learn or relearn concepts/habits ?
Most of us has deep rooted sense of inferiority complex, your marvelous and informative lectures help us to eradicate it. Thank you for your eye-opening efforts. :) :)
I am a south indian
I grew up in army environment, later in a civil neighbourhood. my parents never taught me to be a proud hindu but they exposed me to different aspects of hindu culture. I never felt depressed as a cultural person. but I felt other cultural people like muslims are more powerful since there parents never cared for whatever they did, but my mom would not let me go to the park alone.
Inferiority Complex or Superiority Complex or any other type of Complex arises out of our habit of comparing oneself with others. If you compare your weakness with the strength of other , you develop inferiority complex. If you compare your strength with weakness of others , you develop superiority complex. Both Complexes create problems , which remain unresolved for years decades & centuries (as it happened with colonised hindus).
We can kick this habit out of our life permanently & solve this problem immediately & NOW. you dont need weeks, years, decades to solve this problem.
@@dharmashekhar1047 wow 👍👍
This Clip,and many more from Shri Rajivji , must be shown and discussed in schools and also colleges. Infact at home when families sit together , for meals , etc such discussions must be had atleast once a week.
Thank you Shri Rajivji for your निष्काम सेवा for Our भारत and Their भावs.
Really Grand Narrative . Rajivji ko Pranam 🙏 . What a contribution to national cause ! S.K.Verma
Rajivji is the best thing to happen ..... off late.
Just donated some money. Not much but did my part.
Kudos to Rajivji.U r someone we desperately require in the present day.May God give u a long life
We are with you sir. I am 17 and I will do anything to revive our rich history and culture. I will read books and discover indian heritage. Vande Mataram.
I'm watching this 2 years later in Aug2020 and he is was so right about boycotting China.... I think we are lagging behind understanding ourselves and our Heritage 🙏
Great work Rajiv ji.....Best wishes....
Good to see Achaarya Kapil Kapoor introducing Rajiv ji.
Everyone should listen it. What a brilliant mind . Thanks
Namaskar
Loved the talk by Shri Rajiv. I try to share this message with as many friends and family members
I will request the same from the like minded friends
This knowledge has to spread to as many Indian as possible
Pranams!
Great and much needed work you’re doing sir. Namaskar.
Awaiting this book...
Thank you Rajivji.. for making us enlightened again.. it’s always been honoured to watch your video again and again.. a tons of thank you for all the hard work and research you do for us and make us proud to be an Indian. I wish this talk would be in Hindi so that lots of Indian could understand.
brilliant narrative by Rajiv Malhotra about what Grand Narrative India should have. Covers a whole gamut of different topics that are related to Indian Civilization.
Great as always.
About Constitution.....Wow What a way...... Actually This Entire Sharing is Fully Loaded......
Pranaam to you Shri Rajiv Malhotraji
Need of the hour is to propagate Rajivji's idea far and wide in our country.
We need more like you Dear Sir!
Wonderful, informative (mind-blowing!) talk by Rajivji. I love the presenting of a Himachali topi and the mention of Shimla at the end - was born there! :) We need to create and fund THINK TANKS in India and in USA (full of "intellectual kshatriyas", Sanskrit scholars et al) that are prepared to launch intellectual attacks in the public domain on anyone (individual/institution/org/media et al) who is distorting India's Grand Narrative, India's history, misinterpreting India's scriptures, posturing as authoritative experts on Sanskrit w/o "Adhikaar"/nec. qualifications, dismissing (or trivializing) India's contributions to science, humanities, etc. It's imperative we all promote Rajivji's (and people he has endorsed) work to spread the truth about India and her rich civilization/heritage everywhere - esp where we see it being distorted/ misrepresented /ignored.
Sir, eagerly waiting for your next book on India's Grand Narrative.
Yeah. Rajivji is doing the Work of culture minister. Very enlightening .
Hindutva and Hinduism.
Hindutva and Hinduism.
This man is AMAZZZZINGGGG!!!!! God bless him to live a thousand years! Through his books, he will. He is giving a chance for the eternal, non-sectarian wisdom of sanatana dharma to take the world stage once again and to let the intelligentsia of the world to apply their minds to its wisdom and bring peace and sustainable civilization to the world!
Wonderful talk, thank you Rajiv ji. It is so disheartening to realize how out of its depth our so-called "nationalist" government is on this critical nation-building topic. Nothing at all has been done to advance our own story in the citadels that control its telling. There has not even been an acknowledgement that such a project should be front and centre. It's scary to think how adrift we would be if not for Indians like Rajiv Malhotra. Sadly, he is a great Indian because he is outside India. He would be smothered, shouted down and drowned out if he were inside. Let us all support this man as much as we can in our capacity. Tragically, the govt cannot and will not support him.
🙏 Namaskaram
This talk has totally convinced me of the need,urgency for Bharatiyas to think and act in harmony with the great Bharatiyas narative.
A Brilliant lecture from a great KNOWLADGE EXPLORER of modern India .May you live as long as you wish .
NAMASTE : Very good detailed Lucture by the Founder of INFINITY FOUNDATION Sri Mallothaji PhD research Scholar . It will help every Indian especially students regarding our culture , history and Civilisation not only India but the world. I hope everyone should hear the GRAND Narrative or read the books to earn knowledge . Jai hind
Two of my Gurus...I bow to thee to seek blessings in the form of GYANA!!
A true thought leader and visionary!
Amazing analysis Shri Rajiv Malhotra :) you are a living legend
Thank you very much sir
I think vedas and the knowledge given by our rishis should be the grand narrative of India .vedas tough us about ones. Our rishis done fantastic work on everything form medical science to astronomy which is even more advance than modern science. Our rishis achievement is that they make everything thing spiritual which give moral values in education .today's world have every science but lack of moral values. For example modern science give the concept of gym for good physique whereas our rishi patanjali give as yoga for both better physical and mental health thought spirituality . Similarly ayurveda and astronomy. Yes, it's true that many Indian people narrative is mogul because we can't aware of these great vedas and rishs. We only know that before mogul India only have caste system that was advertise by Britisher.
jayant sharma you're right but their writing style is not suitable for most people to instantly connect with. Purana, tantra and itihasa are much easier to connect with as the characters are all human
jayant sharma Yeah, astronomy and Ayurveda can be a grand narrative of India.
RM is a gem of India & we all should strengthen his hands.
Sir, you are just outstanding every time.
This is one of the best of Rajiv Malhotra's lectures.
Brilliant work Mr Rajiv Malhotra! India needs to rewrite it's Constitution! I hope the Dharmic Indians in India and around the world will continue to be more confident and proud of their identity. India has a brighter future because of your invaluable work!
I have to thank you for another thing. In addition to bringing back an awareness and consolidating the Indian Identity. I have to thank you for interviewing S. Nithyananda's special-power-children. If you did not interview and vouch for them, I would not have believed it. It was too good for me to believe as truth. After that, I have heard so many lectures of S. Nithyananda on CZcams and can say this is a turning point in life for me. I used to meditate a lot anyway but listening to Nithyananda Sangh has added another shade, quality and hope to it. Millions of best wishes and thanks to you. I myself will soon carve my path of Dharma towards the country and community. I have to write a couple exams before that. Lastly, you will do a job better than any cultural minister anyway. Anytime now my Tamil friends ask of Punjab's intellectual contribution, I am going to take your name. :). So far I was stuck with Hargobind Khorana, Freedom fighters, Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj only.
Shweta Gulati s Nithyananda interview cleared many doubts of many people
What a great speech sir..we are truly blessed
Indians surely don't have their act together, a Bollywood masala news will get millions of views meanwhile this gem of a lecture will probably not even get more than a few thousand views. Shame.
Bollywood is for colonising Pakistan..Sanatan is origin of 16,000 plus Hindu civilisation and Hindutva shall rule the world.. Who said it ! Nostradamus, Leo Tolstoy , Bernard Shaw , Gosta Lobon , Johann Gidh etc
Great lecture ! Thank you Rajiv Ji . You are doing a great work and all Indians are thankful to you. Indian Government especially BJP Government should support him and his type of people are are working for India.
Kya baat hai pandit Shri Rajiv ji. Aapko shat shat naman.
In this small video you have covered almost ever y aspect of our Mahan Gatha n our mahan durbalta. Hats off to you pandit ji.
I promise that I will always support you in your YAGNA .
This was something amazingly genius sir.
I just so wish that I could meet you someday to discuss about these topics because this is something I am genuinely interested in and hold a little bit of expertise too.
Brilliant talk.
that's right morden is leaving tradition ,we have to preserve our tradition
Thnk you sir for your undivided contribution. U are an inspiration and we are blessed to have u... 🙏
rajiv ji for cultural minister of india!!

What an enlightening expose on " Bharatiya Mahakatha ". It is so saddening that we as a " Rashtra " do not have any access to the pioneering works (analysis, theses, thoughts, writings) of Dr. Ambedkar, one of the foremost luminaries of modern nation-building, hidden away in an institution (Columbia University) that only a self-hating, Bharat-hating, left-wing stooge of Sheldon Pollock, by the name of Ananya Vajpayi had been given access to. Just think about that and let that sink in for moment! Someone like Sheldon Pollock having a sole authority of examining Dr. Ambedkar's works!!!!! I didn't even know this until Rajiv spoke about it in this video. I bet this has opened huge can or worms that has lead to all kinds of misrepresentation of how Ambedkar's voluminous work (on our Rashtra) should be seen and understood by the very people/Rashtra he belonged because the " Adhikar " is vested in a foreign person, a foreign institution in a foreign country = none of them have the best interests of Bharat in their minds! If our leaders, including our beloved Prime Minister Narendra Modi had any balls, they should understand such a deep issue, connected to our very " Atman " of our nation. Mr. Modi should make good use of the international political clout he has generated over the years and have the Ambedkar's works buried in of Columbia University archives, examined, studied and published by an entire team of authentic, independent social scientists, so we all could understand what made Dr. Ambedkar who he was and what he envisioned for modern Bharat.
Ananya Vajpeyi is married to a muslim kashmiri separatist. She is part of the 'Bharat Tukde tukde' gang. Just imagine the damage she will do when she completes her 'work'.
i would like to think that all of the works of Dr. Ambedkar are still with us...A great man beyond all odds... and a legendary master mind...literally an one man show on the Constitution of India!!!
Charan Sparsh to Maharishi Rajiv Malhotra ji. I love to listen to you. You enlighten me so much. I wished i had been your student and studied my whole life under you sir. Your work is invaluable. I can shun the wealth of whole world in return for the knowledge and enlightenment you are giving. Someday I want to meet you and touch your feet. Will be blessed. I am assimilating every word you speak. I will collect your books and put into my home library for my coming generation.
charansparsh to maharishi malhotraji is not enough ! . please use whatsapp to form-sustain a likeminded group of members. sustain it till the last day of yr life no matter what ! As you yourself put it , the group should form a "group mind" to discuss/assimilate every word of his books/literature & begin to make consistent decisions in all areas of life from personal, marriage to work & social , political domains too ! decions-actions-behaviours are the end of all education !
Thank you sir ... You are great .. hope my knolwedge will enhance with your books and lectures .. I am great ful for your sharing of knowledge .. work for Dharma .. we all are indebted to you ..
It was such an eye opening experience yet again to listen to your lecture. Wonderful to see Madhu ji there!
This video encapsulates lot many videos. But one must watch all his videos and read books.
this man deserves a bharat ratna
You are doing a great job sir ji. By being a pioneer in constructing BHARATS GRAND NARRATIVE .American Republic n American Democrats one big agenda THEY have to be one n united with the idea
"" making America great"" .Both Republican and Democratic will fight head butt strong but will unite on idea of making America great
Very incisive insights into what's happening in India. Thanks for articulating these. Can't wait for your book
Let’s make Bharat Great again! I want to help.
Not one dull moment in the speech. Brilliance.
Excellent talk which elicits much food for thought. Evidently rashtra, or ‘grand narrative’ is much more than nationalism, a modern term, and doesn’t mean empire, like the British or Spanish empires, etc. In the case of N. America ‘frontier’ (mentality or self-identity) is a good metaphor or symbol, but what does it mean in ordinary parlance? What is behind that expression, and also ‘American exceptionalism’? Nothing else than a hubristic determination at world domination (being the ‘police of the world’) by the rich and powerful. Nothing sacred about it.
About ‘nationalism’, one is reminded of George Orwell’s saying: ‘nationalism is the last refuge of a scoundrel’.
Can't have enough of this! I hope the Q & A part is coming soon to the theater next to us = youtube.
Rajiv sir has everything that makes a person outstanding. He is a knowledge powerhouse, an intellectual warrior, a leader, a student, a guru! It would be a blessing for India if India's Ministry of Culture use the services of Infinity Foundation for framing its policies and operationalize it. He could as well be made a Rajya Sabha MP under seats reserved for eminent citizens. In any case he is already doing a wonderful job without giving his opponents a chance to tag him with a particular political ideology.
Seems like I have known so much about myself and our Rashtra after going through this lecture. My curiosity has now increased to learn more and more about our civilization but without using a western prism!
Hari Krishna from india
Each talk and topic discussed by Shree Malhotraji, really make one think and ponder on the subject matter. Very interesting talk.
really amazing talk sir. So many points at the same time.really helpful to understand the Grand Narrative its history and development.One of your finest talks.
Thanks for informative grand narrative of India to us,I have always questions in my mind which are now getting answer.you are my teacher and I will happy to it pupil.
indian narrative is very needed for an indian. every indian should know about his culture and wast history of his culture and expose the greatness of his/her culture to others and to tell how great full he is to be an indian
A mind blowing and thought provoking timely speach for serious thinking ! 👍💐
Rajiv ji for President of India...
He will be a great as brand India (civilization) Ambassador
I think if young ones saw this can make below 2 min videos and get it viral in social sites .. in regional languages also.. then this people pressure will change the course of white color intellectuals..
Jai Bharat
Jai Hind
