    This looks like a very deep Rabbit Hole..i am finishing this podcast and walking away.. Nicely and Slowly...

    Holy smokes... This is the kind of podcast I was looking for.... Thank you Meghnand. Got to know your 'existence' {:)} from Cyrus Says..... Brilliant convo...... Loved the mind gymnastics of the thought articulation bordering around social behaviour, perception... And these are the biggest chunks of 'kohinoor' if you will, one can claim or have control over. Its no more what is the fact of things, but what your perception of it all, that creates the reality.
    BTW in line with Hikkomori, the way things are playing out in the global stage, the West with all its prosperity has reached its saturation, so much so, that a descent from the peak is inevitable... E. G. America.... With all its woke leanings, as somewhere I read, a civilization indications towards its death, lies in decadence of every aspect of existence, social, cultural, spiritual, that accelerates the absence of one's own identity. While the West is plummeting, the East, is rising(in terms of facets lost by the West,) .... As in nature where all is cyclical, not having a balance will surely see you swinging from our extreme to the other... Excuse the rant, just excited with this podcast!!!

  • @anonymouslyopinionated656

    very simplistic... if for 60 years the congress and lefties have had political, cultural and institutional power, then trying to topple that existing structure would be "left-wing" according to sen

    Great to see RSS - one third of my fav podcast, BhajaPod! They are the kind of guys I wish I could share drinks with IRL. Big fan of the hilarity and outright irreverence on that Podcast!!
    Though, I wish Aditya was here as well. His appetite and penchant for seeking out hilarious toxic raita crap on the web is unparalleled.
    More power to you guys!

    You should have brought ppl from right-wing to properly explain their position. This is disingenuos from your part. I am right wing ecosystem veteran, some of your views about trads is so wrong. Where is this manusmriti and caste and women oppression shit cming from.

  • @anand_narla

    I know so much about Qanon phenomena, none of what Raj is saying is new to me. but watching Kajol's expression during the whole thing is priceless

    Engaging conversation, we read so much about Qanon but I didn't even know about trads vs raita.

    Just one feedback- start the podcast directly into the conversation and introduce later.

    This was so interesting! I'd never heard of Hindutva trads or raita, though I do see right-wing white women posting with the hashtag "tradwife" or "tradlife". Not so much with men. My favorite part was the raitas who think trads are a leftist conspiracy. I agree with Kajol that until I started learning about how the alt-right works, I couldn't fathom where all these childish bigots were coming from: Innuendo Studios's "The Alt-Right Playbook" opened my eyes. Also agreed that Contrapoints is awesome, as well as the recent wave of pieces about the manosphere created by Black video essayists like F.D. Signifier, which brings the colonialism angle and highlights the money-making grift that manosphere influencers are doing! Like Raj, he thinks these kids need role models, but it's hard because these men are looking for easy answers to tough questions.
    Anyway, I'm so surprised by what you did and didn't find worth discussing about Qanon. And while I'd heard about people demonizing SSR's partner, I thought it's just that Godi media hates powerful Bengali women, so I never made the connection to anti-government conspiracy. The point about misunderstanding mental health is so sad but true. When you were talking about suffering and meaning, and blaming people for their misfortune, it actually made me think of karma, but on a shorter timescale than a whole lifetime. In the US it's the American Dream (not MLK's dream!), but I think especially for people who are Manusmriti fans, of course they expect the world to be perfectly fair in the long term.

    Right wing here. Wasn't sure what this Trad vs Raita thing was. Good discussion but wish there were one good Raita participant to give their perspective and for balance.

  • @devikalakhote351
    @devikalakhote351 Před rokem +2

    But how can hinduism exist without caste system? Are the raitas actually willing to abolish caste hierarchies?? That seems too progressive for them

    • @bhaskarojha9482
      @bhaskarojha9482 Před rokem +9

      Raitas are called raitas because they want to abolish caste .
      Savarkar wanted annihilation of caste

  • @sunnytube90
    @sunnytube90 Před rokem +2

    I found the episode entertaining, but there seems to be a clear bias as far as the political spectrum has been represented. Majority of the right wing too hate Trads. This episode could've been looked at with reasonable individuals on both sides of the political spectrum

    The look on Kajol's face for the entire podcast !!

    Hard lefties discussing RW intricacies withouth understaning either side. Right off the bat, raita is not a mispronunciation of right wing.

    37:40, I know people who consider even Yati as 'liberal'. :) Btw, the podcast was good. Shows that you guys have done research, unlike Indian liberals who are essentially glorified Whatsapp Univ graduates surviving on Gae's propfeed.
    Two comments-
    -In place of the lady, you should have called someone from Raita (Trads won't come) to explain their pov. - -Also, your thesis, it appears, is a resultant of studying visible Trads, who are essentially late teens to early 20s guys. Beyond this are grown ups, practising Hindus, scholars et al,. who remain away from this cacophony. Then there's NRx, which isn't explictly mentioned here, but happens to drive a significant fr. of trads talk points. I think you may have come across some of that, but this podcast was essentially an introduction. This limitation reflected in your conclusion as well.

    Political compass is not really a good measurement of political inclination because the test is biased. It was possibly made by libertarians to show everyone is libertarian. I have seen stalinists getting left libertarian(lower left quadrant) where they should be authoritarian left (upper left quadrant).

    On other hand kajol is like I don't believe in this because it was written by men
    Most scientific discoveries were made by men
