There IS a problem with Hinduism (and it's with academics)

- If you are living in North America and grew up Hindu, odds are you probably learned a little from your parents, maybe you went to the temple and enrolled in some classes -- chances are these classes weren’t mandatory, you came when you wanted and didn’t really take it seriously.
Fast forward a couple of years you are now in high school and then into university or college, you probably felt it was a GOOD idea to take a course on Hinduism. RIGHT?
Well-- WRONG CHOICE - I am here to tell you that you were sadly mistaken. While your intentions may have been noble and you were expressing an inner desire to learn more about your culture and heritage, a university setting is the LAST place you want to be going to learn more about YOUR religion.
The problem Hinduism is how Western Academia has reinterpreted our tradition. Keep watching to find out more!

This is so relatable. In my entire education from K-12 even through university every time Hinduism has been mentioned in the classroom it has been depicted as a backward and crude religion, while the abrahamic religions are painted as fair and progressive.
Wtf,seriously ? I think its kind of opposite.Christ,crucifixtion,blood,wine,crusades,God raping Mary to produce Jesus....Always trying to convert people..etc...
For that we are still fighting with the education board
@@carrysnowdrift7890 Rounak was about the Indian education system and how it repaints Hinduism in Indian Continent
Bro, u look like a dalit. It would better if a learned Hindu i.e. Brahmin shed some light on the true religion.
Yeah, I grew up in the US and there is no version of a scientific method when it comes to culture and religion. It's just a free for all for self-serving propoganda for Abrahamic religions.
Finding Hindu studies is a difficult task in some instances. I have learned a lot from practicing Hindus but on a deeper vedic level it is not easy. When I lived in CA in the Bay area there were Vedic classes given that investigated the finer points of the subject and brought knowledge about Sanata Dharma that was very enlightening. Here in Phoenix AZ even the practicing Hindus want to learn more about the subject of the Vedics and Hindu philosophy but there are few (I have been told) available to teach it.
I have found that many adults know what they were taught as children but as they went into house hold years etc they did not pursue the knowledge. Now they may want to study deeper but aside from what is on line (for which I am thankful) there is not always much. Many of us scrutinize what we read on line and if it sounds fishy I have learned it probably is. I want to help spread truth and am glad to have you as a resource.
I was recently in India and Sri Lanka on a yatra. I certainly plan on going back!
Jon Banks Only way to learn Hinduism is from "Acharyas" means masters who are practitioners. There are innumerable forms of practices like Tantrik, Vedic, Vedantik etc. Each of them have numerous sub divisions as there is no restrictions on the path chosen. Only constant is the search and not belief. Everything else one see is just outer shell related with popular culture and is dynamic. Only the "Sruthis" like Vedas/Agamas are constant as they contain basic principles like Truth, Selflessness, Dharma(untranslatable). etc. Other personal and communal practices, rules, regulations etc vary greatly and are continuously in flux according to the time. That is how we survived this far, not by resisting change but being the change and keeping the core stable.
Bro learn bhagwat gita and see ramayanam and maha bharatham
Playing fantasies with stones and animals doesn't make it religion.
Whole world has moved on from mythologies except few Indians.
Hey Shawn,
I just discovered your channel and really applaud your work. Watched some of your videos and realised I have a similar story to you, I too am a Hindu born in Canada, my parents are from Fiji and great grandparents from India.
I really love the way you factually presented the content of this video, I have been well acquainted with Academic Hinduphobia in Academia for a while now and have been an avid supporter of Rajiv Malhotra's Swadeshi Indology mission to fight the Western Indologists. When I saw Wendy Doniger in the thumb nail, I was worried about what you would say, but everything you have stated is completely true. Excellent video, my friend! Keep up the great work, will share your channel with my friends.
Love you bro...that’s the spirit..you are doing a great job...Haribol ...Hare Krishna...wish to meet you one day ...

"The word 'hindu' is a non-Indian word, it's origin is Persian/Arabic. It's original meaning is 'dog,
'low life' or 'slave:"
"The word 'Hindu' is not found in any Hindu religious text or any other ancient writing. People who lived on the western side of Hindu Kush (killers of Hindus) mountains gave this name to the natives of India. The word Hindu means black, slave, robber, thief and a waylayer."
Hinduism isn't same even in two villages nearby. So, how can you learn it as a whole? It's more of a culture of people at any Hindu locality.
I noticed this is the case with any religion from the books I checked out from the school library and ordered online.
Having such a rigid, academic perspective providing details in a historical, political, sociological context is great for those who are interested. But I don’t think that’s the case for most people, certainly not myself.
Little to no information in the context of a member of these religions is provided, not much is said about the actual philosophies, practices, beliefs, etc.
Especially books on Yōkai and Kami (deities, ghosts, demons, etc. of Japanese folklore).
And being that there isn’t much recorded history or remaining members of Native American religions, authentic insight is super limited.

Buy books from Gita presses. They are trusted by many notable Indian scholars even by Rajiv Malhotra.
@@RAIRADIO I belive that you have not searched brother. Many books by Gita press are treated in high regards by Indian scholars. Unfortunately, books with wrong interpretations are selling a lot because they have clever selling tactics. Please read books by Rajiv Malhotra too.
Correctly said brother. One such academic is Sheldon Pollock who had continued marauding the ancient Sanskrit language and our diversified culture. I intent to learn Sanskrit after seeing the viciousness propagated in his works. I also intend to fight with all these false academics to show the world the genuine face of our tradition.
This is an excellent idea. I should do it too so these malicious hate-mongers aren't the only ones studying and pumping out colonialized versions of our faith

I would just like to quickly add that everyone should do their part by thumbing down youtube videos that spew false propaganda regarding hinduism or any other topic. Because people who click on videos and see there are a lot of thumb downs automatically start to think that the information in the video might be false. But if it's all thumbs up, then naive viewers will think it's true information. Don't just ignore the false propaganda videos, click thumbs down on them. Make a habit of doing that.

TRUE!💘💘💘
Winston Bachan It's a small thing to do and may seem insignificant, but it really makes a difference in the long term :)
Also report such videos under hateful wrong content section.
Write Intent Right do both, because the thumbs down is a guarantee to work while it's no guarantee that reporting the video will work.

This is the only ancient religion that could not be deracinated by marauding Abrahamic religions of the West and West Asia! So for them, it is yet a work in progress. They use academics, public media, book writing, proselytisation, to name a few, to discredit Hinduism and degrade it before anyone taking any interest in the religion! The irony is that only the Dharmic religions of India have the built in plurality and the theme of acceptance of others unconditionally! Probably the only way to resolve religious conflicts that drive wars on the planet.

Good work buddy.. indeed this has been a problem for anyone who wants to learn anything about hinduism via internet.
Absolutely right
Great work Shawn
Hope more and more people get inspired by your work and make Wendy look like a demonic intellectual
I'm a first year PhD student in a leading Business school. The very first thing taught to us is social research, specifically conducting ethnographic research. Any academic who commits the grave mistake of super imposing his/her own culture or de-contextualizing native cultural motifs outside its people (called as 'disembodying natives' to signify the inherent ethnocentrism of such approach) is considered a lost cause, a disgrace to academic discipline. You can check a famous paper written by an American author that in a satirical way demonstrates this ethnocentrism (nacirema aka American in reverse).
Any school of thought or University that endorses such obvious ethnocentric reading is clearly unworthy of even being called an academic. Hence, all these so called academic hinduism experts are simply frauds. Plz understand that academic hindu is a disgraceful term, a blot on any academicians potential as it pints to their inclination for bias. No academic study or pursuit can be done without first respecting the human beings involved in making of that very phenomena which academics is trying to study. Wendy is a fraud. So are people endorsing her. They are not academicians.

@@Aliuddinx what you said is wrong on so many levels that it is hilarious. Seeing that you have already made up your mind about calling a particular sect of people dogs, I will offer only one correction to your bigoted brain. The word Hindu comes from word Indus If you don't know anything about the Indus Valley Civilization, then look it up.
Bro make video on Hindu best temples and oldest
My friend shawn, i dont know where u live , but if can find a BAPS temple somewhere around or near u then go there and meet any available saint there and he'll tell u what the real hinduism is. Thanks for making such video.
In India Ramkrishna mission is a place to learn more about Hinduism. They teach Sanskrit and other Vedanta courses. Please find your local Ramkrishna mission.
Keep up the good work and if you want to adress things related to Ramayana and if you can understand hindi then I recommend you should watch videos of Thanks Bharat CZcams channel on Ramayana
Great hindusm
Great work... very insightful
Thank you for speaking the truth brother, i went to UFT in the early 2000s and I studied history. At that time, when I took the only course on Indian history, guess what time period we started learning Indian history from? From Alexander the Great's invasion, then the Maurya, Mughals and British. Tell me if this is a fair and balance view of Indian history? I hope now things have changed for the better.
Shawn you are really great 👍
Doing a wonderful job
Thank you for your videos
God bless you my son
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for talking and enlightening people about Hinduism
*Even in India Hinduism is preached negatively in academics.*
castism is indeed an evil practice
@@sharons9098 Colonial missionary frauds of Christianity and Islamic jihad are also evil..See how easy it is to stereotype? Btw, casteism appeared long after Vedas were written...And anti-caste movements like Bhakti traditions have emerged within Hinduism itself....It's a religion that evolves and doesn't need your stupid lecturing....Meanwhile, Christians who threw Native Americans off their land, still are looking for ways to convert them by 'adapting' to suit local traditions or whatever other BS excuse they're using...
For those who want to learn more about Hinduism keep in mind these points (i) Many academicians and sanskrit scholars in west don't have correct knowledge about Hinduism because they rely on western interpretation of Hinduism. For example: They use English to sanskrit dictionary written by white people rather then an actual Indian Guru or Rishi. (ii) Learn Hinduism from Hindus who practice it rather then a professor who eats beef burger in the morning and study Hinduism in evening. (iii) Read books by Rajiv malhotra and before buying any books on Hinduism search about the author whether he is a practicing Hindu (guru, yoga and meditation) or not. (iv) Try your best to get to correct interpretation of sanskrit verses rather then relying on wrong translations of western scholars.
Hinduism through an Abrahamic lens doesn't work, applying a Abrahamic template and terminology distorts our Dharmic philosophy.

Good Work !
It is horrible, really. Even living in India, there aren’t many people that could tell you about Sanatan Dharma and the significance of our practices. As a result, children either have no one to consult if they are interested, or they don’t get that interest in the first place. They become MATAs (More American Than American) (it’s an internal family joke 😂)
HINDUS - The most important thing is the BEHAVIOUR of the followers. In the West, Hindus are the most peaceful and prosperous community, highly respected. The lowest percentage of any community in prison- USA or UK.
And back in India, after a brutal 800 years, the Hindus are undergoing a renaissance with space missions to Mars, a trillion dollar economy, excelent healthcare etc etc.
Peace out, namastey

I agree with you to an extent but the majority of Hindus today do not actually know much and the priests and priestesses (yes we used to have priestesses) are bad at explaining many things since we never had a preaching culture. Ex: I was talking to my buddy the other day and he didn't know what the Vedas were and he thought that we worship a cow as a God. As a Krishna Yajur Veda reciter, I was appalled. Also, my buddy is an atheist now because he found the cow thing to be stupid. When he asked his local priest, the priest was like, "We do not question these things because it is a sin or a 'papam'", lol. This is why, we need an unbiased outsider to actually study the religion with a fresh pair of eyes. We need to use all our resources and not preferentially choose actual Hindus because the majority of Hindus were just born into it and did not have to study anything. They just relied on misinformation passed down from generations. This is why the majority of people think that only men can be baptised (yajñōpavītam) into Hinduism and not women. It was the British who came in and made the Brahminas to show the real Vedic texts that ask both men and women to undergo baptism.

If you want to have some basic ideas about Hinduism, listen to the lecture of Alan Watts. He describs it beautifully.
if you want to learn hinduism go to vedas, upnishad ,puranas, bhagwat gita and other sacred texts.Even in india many people are misleaded and correct at some point, it is difficult to find hinduism as a religeon because its a way of life ,its more of a practice.there is different aspect of sanatan dharma(hinduism). in sanatan dharma you can follow one god, many god , no god at all , spiritualism, do good deeds , all is branches of hinduism.
Why not engage the academic version of Hinduism and change their misinterpreted knowledge of Hinduism? Hindus in the US and Canada are in all academic fields, yet hardly teaching Hindu religion, so why not be in teaching Hinduism as well?
Easier said then done. Do you know Rajiv Malhotra? He spent 40+ years fighting this battle
We do not need to look a poorly informed description of Hinduism as a 'fight'; it is ignorance that needs to be addressed through education.@@HinduLifestyle
You didn't answer my question. Do you know who he is? You should educate yourself on these matters
Of course, I know him; listened to his talks many times. Impressive talks; Confrontation is not going to work. Instead, education is a better solution. Swami Vivekananda did visiting the Western nations; Prabhu Pada, the ISCON founder did the same. You should educate yourself on these matters too. @@HinduLifestyle

Though you are free to ask me questions.
Only if you read anthropology, you can find the similarities in all the castes or tribes around the world. Religion is not a part of our culture. I have to read so much more. In terms of scientific research. Anthropology is a science subject and religion is theosophy. Anyways, Just keep things in mind. I don’t mind anybody reading all this because it is history.

Yep i studied about caste & tribes from sociological & anthropological perspectives -

One should read - Ghurye, Kosambi, M N Srinivas, Dipankar Gupta, Ronald Inden, Nicholas Dirks, Susan Bayly, Sumit Guha etc.
Actually Dharmic religions {Hinduism, Buddhism & Jainism} were more about negotiating along the tribal terms then creating & imposing themselves & they did it via the Esoteric method like Tantra or Folk traditions.
