- On August 15, 1947, at the stroke of the midnight hour, India went from being the largest colony of the British Empire to the world's largest democracy. Today India is a rising superpower with a global diaspora and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Its astonishingly diverse population, the largest of any country in the world, aligns along the complex and overlapping categories of religion, language, ethnicity, and caste. This presentation traces the remarkable transformations that have occurred in India's politics and society in the eight decades since independence. David Campion is the Dr. Robert B. Pamplin Jr. Associate Professor of History at Lewis & Clark College in Portland where he has taught since 2002.

Random white guy who has zero knowledge of India, is lecturing about it😂
Tamil people never wanted a separate nation. Only the Periyar followers wanted separate nation.
B.S. Hindutava does not go against religious pluralism, it is also not pro caste.
It does against abhramic cults 😂😂

Not if they're minding their own business, instead of trying to trick-convert every non-Christian and his barn dog.
- The name India is derived from the the river Indus which in Sanskrit is Sindhu.
- India uses EVM or the Electronic Voting Machines in its elections. Voting takes place in multiple phases.
- Exaggerations aside, amendments to the constitution is natural with the passage of time. It is a sign of thriving democracy.
- RSS doesn't believe in caste discrimination and is involved in extensive social work for the upliftment of the socially backward communities.
- Social policies in India has never been discriminatory even to this day, whichever party maybe in power.
wrong info - Congress party has legislated in favor Muslims & Christians and against Hindus for decades
We use EVM not paper. You should research more on India
Indira rewrote bits of the constitution during her emergency. Did you highlight that?
1.'India and Pakistan fought multiple wars'... Nope... Pakistan attacked India multiple times.
2. Many religious and ethnic communities could find shelter in India even before Constitution was formed.
3. Religious intolerance in Islam causing all the friction mentioned in 2 nd point Hinduism is pluralistic and can accomodate one more God ( Allah). Problem arises when chants are raised ' There is no other God than Allah and non- believers will be beheaded.
4. Being a Dalit I can assure you the Victim mentality is fueling the reverse caste discrimination.
5. Painting BJP Or Hindutva ideology as some kind of danger to Indian democracy/ secularism is a myth. Hindutva and Hindus are keeping the democracy and Secularism intact in India.
6. Many Christian Conversion Mafias are master minding these divisive strategy. This rabid urge to convert others is the true intolerance practiced by Christians and Muslims which needs some treatment.
Yes, just ignore the huge role played by ML in the Partition of Bharat. Brush aside the call for preemptive "direct action" by Jinnah which was the catalyst for the massacre of innocents of the majority population. Bad presentation.
A lecture on how to speak Half truth confidently.
1:04:42 AMberdkwar wanted it, not really Nehru. Special rights for minorities is not seculat.
Bro doesn't know that the Indian freedom struggle was led by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
Too many inaccuracies in the lecture.
The leader who stitched together the coalition in 1977 was Jayaprakash Narayan. Morarji Desai was nominated the PM by him subject to election by the MPs, who accepted the choice.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee didn’t break the coalition but it was broken by Chaudhary Charan Singh. Vajpayee moved out after the election was announced & there was a concerted effort to purge his supporters from Janta Party.
I expected more focus on recent history. But your recent history is even more inaccurate. You should talk of the insecurity of the Hindus too, who face lots of discrimination under the rules framed by the Congress party. For example, Hindu temples and other institutions have all been nationalised and Hindus can’t run their own institutions any more. Hindu religious practices are rountinely trampled upon and so called secular leaders give open call to annihilate the religion without any fear of reprisals.
India is diverse because of Hinduism, show me one divrse Islam nation in the world?
British were innocent like cow 😂 should have shown photo of famine 🤫
What a mesmersing lecture Dr Robert ❤
Why do I sense sarcasm.😊
@@aryaman05 lol..i actually loved the initial parts of the lecture but then he descended into a low when he started justifying emergency
Once a Korean challenged me to name all the languages in the currency note. I couldn't.
Good reasonably balanced view of an Westerner which nowadays is rabidly anti Modi..You kind of half alluded why the trajectory of Pakistan is so different from India but then glossed over. The difference is India value system draws from Hindu civilization while Pakistan from Islamic roots. Hence the difference. You were spot on about the mind boggling diversity of India. With su h centrifugal forces at work, there has to be a glue which will keep India together. The gobbledegook of Socialist Secularism doesn't enthuse anyone. The magic formula is Hindu culture which is what is driving India upwards. And Hindu culture includes all religion including Muslims. If the India Pakistan borders are open today what do think will happen. Would a single of these so called oppressed Muslims go to Pakistan? NO. Instead all Muslims from Pakistan will flood India as is happening with Bangladeshi illegal migrants. All the pluses as well as minuses of India are down to Hindu civilization. Indians are keen on education, enterprising, problem solvers and generally peaceful is down to Hindus. Similarly the highly discriminatory tendencies, noisy and tolerance of poor.public hygiene is also down to these negative values. Modi and Hindu nationalism tries to address these issues in a slow constructive way.
@ 47:24 Tamil Separatist who killed Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi were not Indian Tamils. These were Sri Lankan Tamil Separatists, fighting to create a Tamil Sate called Tamil Elam in the northeast of Sri Lanka. The reason being Rajiv Gandhi had interfered in the Sri Lankan civil war on the side of the government.
We don’t use Paper ballots but electronic voting machines.

51:30 Hindus are inherently secular unlike Christians and Muslims. Adding secular word in constitution was an insult to hindus. Due to hindus' inherent secular nature parsis, jews and muslims PROSPERED in India. Rest of ppt looks ok.
He's a professor? !
A few fallacies.
You did what you wanted and however little knowledge you had, now let us develop and show you how to create peace and grow with everyone. Specially the Global South which you guys looted for years.
Random bullshit without having a clue about the subjext
Hindu nationalism, I can only laugh at his lecture.
Lecture is based upon secondary sources, mostly from the Western publications. It lacks depth and facts, both.
-India stopped using paper ballot long back. Also, there are no Dravidian languages in the south.
- At least, three south Indian languages have Sanskrit as their base. And all the northern languages have Sanskrit as their base.
- Modi has not changed constitution. In fact, Congress changed the large portion of the constitution, especially Indira Gandhi with 42nd Amendment Act.
Very poorly researched. Too many factual errors.
Mughalsa are gone
As sir Bose was declared dead nehru automatically became pm through back doors
What a joker
I am just petty about your knowledge and understanding of india with respect to world.. I advice you as very friendly don't open your gutters in front of Bhartiye because he just laugh about your knowledge..
Don't need your opinion 😏 with you don't teach us get lost
Extremely biased and palpable lack of knowledge!!
