3:06 pm
welcome back the top diplomats and internationally one of india's most prominent politicians has been in the news over charges surrounding the death of his wife the full statement from his lawyers can be found on our website but we can't talk to him. about an ongoing court case the former united nations under-secretary general however can talk about his new book why i am a hindu and he joins me now especially thanks for coming back on the great american great american writer said the whole decline of the west can be attributed to the failure of pantheism or the loss of pantheism but you say in the new book that the hindu ism can mean no god after all so what is the end of his hindus was we really of approaching our understanding of the cosmos which doesn't actually require us to believe in god in the personalized anthropomorphic sense in fact for a thousand years the hindu idea of god was rather like the muslim idea that is that god cannot be given the shame of form or gender shape a bigger pardon cannot be touched see nude imagine could be an idea could be
3:07 pm
a spark could be a puff of air we don't know what god is right so a god without qualities is what the hindus worshiped but they realised that in fact ordinary people needed more than that they needed something they could look to a they needed for example in the basic iran lot of nature worship happened people worship trees and rivers and fire for example so they said no we better have an idea of god that actually do they err by the way the big sages the. the thinkers and writers i mean you're talking about a religion. about a thousand years into its existence of four thousand years so that's what i'm talking about and then came up with the idea of god in a more familiar sense issue or a big one but they said since no one really knows what god looks like let's allow people to imagine god as they want and so there are three hundred thirty three million names of god with lots of forms you want to imagine god as
3:08 pm
a potbellied gentleman was an elephant's head going to show you men that's the image behind us the start of the show you want to imagine god as an eight armed woman riding a tiger you may do so as well but they're not all. they're all merely different manifestations because the human imagination is soon limited so we need to think of a god that we can worship strictly speaking god in hindu ism is brahman is the spot as spirits that suffuses the cosmos there is everywhere and every one of us is united by the same so will the up mn which is in you which is in me which is in your pet dog which is which is in every living creature and each of each of us finds our seven a position where in western religions for example or the abrahamic faiths the body has a soul in hinduism the soul has a body the soul exists it adopts your body or mine for
3:09 pm
a finite period of time then it discards our bodies and moves on the ultimate goal of the soul is to be able to move into god into brahman and that his is what we consider salvation and in the philosophy of course war most critics and people who praise the book have been talking about and that is. the tolerant version of india is a given it verse is obviously what has been seen as intolerance associated with the current indian government. you you say that hindu ism clearly accepts the possibility the abrahamic religions ups are all fine judaism christianity and islam so we can and the perhaps the greatest modern hindu preacher who in the late one nine hundred centuries made a very famous speech in chicago to the world parliament of religions said the just as all sorts of rivers flow in different parts crooked and straight into the same
3:10 pm
sea so also always of worship lead to the same god he said that i'm proud to speak of a feat that has taught the world not just tolerance but acceptance and so profoundly important idea because tolerance we are taught is a virtue but it's ultimately rather patronizing it says tolerance says i have the truth you are in error but i will make none and mostly indulge you and your right to be wrong very different except where is accepted says much or it says actually i believe i have the truth you believe you have the truth i will respect your truth please respect my truth and by that logic hindu ism is willing to see the merit in every way of worship what it doesn't accept is the clip of any other faith to be exclusively right and it doesn't make any such claim itself hinduism has no equivalent of saying there's only one way of reaching god or salvation it says always are equally valid ok what about what about this criticism of hindu ism that it it is based around the cost class system and oh you tackle the subject even here
3:11 pm
the very idea of progress is there is hurt somehow by this version of universal acceptance well the thing is as far as the caste system is concerned many good hindus like myself i'd like to think devout in the us can find plenty of justification for. rejecting caste altogether for saying that this is not it's maybe part of a social construct of the way it has evolved in society as practiced in india but it's not intrinsic to the faith and i can assure you as i've done in the book scriptural examples anecdotes from history parables from our our great old epics and other poor honor's which see that you should not pay attention to superficial external distinctions such as cost hierarchy but it's true that many hindus still practice it and particularly when it comes to discrimination against people because of their belonging to supposedly lower caste that is actually illegal in india it's
3:12 pm
against the constitution where we have an affirmative action program for the so called costs and tribes from the lowest street of society the most the most unfortunate members of our society but discrimination prohibiting people entry into temples for example on the grounds of their cost that's illegal an action can be taken against you if you practice caste and that's what some would argue it is of a scale of say racism in the united states is the only difference is where is reeses visible castors not you can look at somebody and see that she has no a cause to look at somebody else and say he's up to the fact is that that's why cost is eroding with urbanization your new idea of the cost your of the person you're rubbing shoulders with on the bus and with affirmative action the scum of democracy you may be an upper caste person go to an office and take orders from a lower caste woman that's life going too far to say and i know you touch upon this
3:13 pm
in the book and your previous book that the british entrenched the existing india car system was a way of organizing in people in the colonialism well look the question of organizing the indian people in some of their communities i think it them to be good i'm able to do but you're right categorize control classify this was important to the. brits and the the map the census the museum were all instruments of colonial domination and showed it and they love him to his and we will get to use this really can yes exactly so they actually did take we had castle we don't have a car system in the rigid hierarchical ossified sense that it became under colonialism so are you against party politicization of religion generally whether it be political islam or political hinduism that's what i'm against identity politics generally whether you want to keep up political fervor mobilize voters on the basis of cost of creed of religion i think identity is the least interesting
3:14 pm
way to organize political contention we should have it's very powerful about ideas we should have arguments about ideology we should be have arguments about economics who's going to do most to give us a better life who's going to improve the education system who's going to defend our borders better those are legitimate grounds for argument but to say vote for me because i'm hindu or for me because we have the same caste i know it happens but doesn't mean i need to like it i don't and. so basically the way the entire hindu religion is organized could be under any political system whether it be capitalism feudalism or communism it doesn't matter it or any of it it shouldn't matter in fact the point is precisely that's true of any society on earth that the wind which you organize your soul should be distinct from hindu ism in any case could be fascist it could exist under fascism yeah but hinduism you see actually sees religion as an intensely personal matter my father would pray every morning very development never oblige me wants to join in the idea is that it's everything about
3:15 pm
religion is between you and your maker or whatever image of form of your me could use to worship or not that amount of choice is intrinsic to hindus so that kind of hammer all of that in into some sort of narrow street jacket of uniformity that's not something that's truly hindu or tall and that's where the political movement called hindutva which is. the ideology of the of the ruling party today and those forces supporting it that dismays me a great deal because in fact you can take such a vast capacious accepting diverse all encompassing religion and reduce it to the team identity of the british football hooligan which is what frankly some of the goons who are the fellow travellers of the hindutva movement today are doing some studies say that comment on violence is up thirty percent under and or modi do you see any signs of optimism in recent months lessening of this identification of in do ism. and the hindutva movement central tenets with the ruling of
3:16 pm
india political the problem unfortunately is that communal and identity politics seems to get turned on and off when it suits those in power when the economics is doing well they'll talk about that when the government's doing badly they'll turn up the volume as it were of the common allowed speak up in order to polarize voters on the grounds of religion so i can't be complacent or even optimistic that that'll stop happening those who are in power today started off very much on the hindutva bandwagon mr modi won the last election with a significant upper layer as it were of economics of saying i will permit well it was worth it for absolutely but but but it's also true that the economics has not been well managed and as a result the country is not as well off as the dreams mr moody and his colleagues managed to sell to the voters the big risk therefore is in
3:17 pm
a turnaround and once again we pump communal sentiment in order to compensate for the deficiencies of their economic performance in what is being well we invite the indian ambassador on to. give a challenge that thank you very much as you are thank you i should talk. about it for what are your favorite shows from this season we'll continue to share your favorite episodes until we're back for season four wins in the fifth of september don't let the bunch of us by social media users. welcome to max keiser financial survival guide. this is what happens to pensions in britain. you watch kaiser report.
3:18 pm
3:19 pm
see. no problem. because you know provision of my bike when i wanted to. ask but i. know i lost his boss because i just got the. resources you know. any of those in prison but the best honest i don't think there's been any of them. so i says you know what i was you're not. you're not just i mean most important i'm already but it was sped up out of me just. i mean the lord. has been up there so i must admit that he feels i just will get off on getting noticed but those were the old vilest beatle songs those people are going to respect i'm one of those but i was just this for this part of the game i want my
3:20 pm
family plus he could have got a bomb i just but that's already full. yes it will be in the thought of getting other color link with you your implementor kitty are marked out aloud but let me just quote a very. foreign assistance on sales and credit lines to russia the focus of fresh u.s. sanctions targeting moscow we assess that potential impact coming on top of the existing restriction. with brazil's presidential election looming the latest holmes to perform a leader lula da silva for success despite an currently being in jail. scotland's former first minister alex salmond is taking his country's government to court naming its inquiry into his alleged sexual misconduct is
3:21 pm
a legal he gave us his side of the story do it with things like this the pains of having a field show having a field of. number three of the scottish government process doesn't do that you don't get to see the evidence you don't get to present your own case. a very warm welcome it's five pm here in moscow when you're watching r.t. international with me and karen the top story this hour washington says fresh sanctions against russia will kick in on monday the penalties are linked to claims that kremlin orchestrated a nerve agent attack in the u.k. and on target to russia's financial success as well as certain arms sales to moscow on a similar kong looks at the difference these sanctions will make. now the new batch of sanctions will come into force on august twenty seventh and will prohibit russia from importing secure u.s.
3:22 pm
goods and technology related to national security but there were also a few waivers first the foreign assistance act which would have terminated all aid to russia except for urgent humanitarian assistance is waived second the prohibition on arms sales that was introduced in two thousand and fourteen will also be waived determined on a case to case basis a state department official said that these waivers are essential to national security third arms sales of financing which has been in place already sanctions will deny u.s. government credit and financial assistance ban exports of secure goods and tech a few days ago president putin said that these sanctions were counterproductive let's take a look. regarding the sanctions those actions are counterproductive and meaningless especially when it comes to a country like russia it's not just about the u.s. president's position it's about the position of the so-called establishment the ruling class in broader terms of the realisation that this policy has no future will come one day and we will cooperate in a normal fashion these sanctions were announced earlier this month over russia's
3:23 pm
alleged involvement in the script paul poison in which there still is no evidence for russia has repeatedly denied its involvement and has even offered its assistance to the quay and investigating the incident but this was apparently ignored now as russia gets slapped with sanctions it's very likely that we'll see russia respond with to for tat measures can stern from the how will turn coalition to stop the war believes the new sanctions could actually be of some benefit to russia. it's time that united states started to realize that the days of the uni polar world are over and the united states needs to have a meaningful consultation rather than hysterical like use ations with russia china russia does not need us military assistance russia has developed a cutting edge systems which are in demand all over the world all the us is really doing is forcing russia to become even more self-sufficient than i was before so
3:24 pm
these military sanctions against russia are going to have exactly the opposite effect this is completely robert kagan issue this is there we are over russia and the sooner the american government grows up and actually like an adult the sooner because the american people and the rest of the world of course will be thank you for. trying to pressure collusion stories are again in gaining momentum but now even the us t.v. channel is under fire amid speculation it has links to the kremlin daniel hawkins has been looking into the claims we've all heard about trump russian election collusion you know the great scam that brought the u.s. president to power he was asian of collusion collude passably smells a whole lot like collusion there was ample evidence of collusion where is the closure you know they're still looking for closure where is the closure finds a loser little did we know the conspiracy goes deeper now it's in the media
3:25 pm
it started with a trump tweet on proposed land expropriations and alleged murders of white farmers in south africa covered prior to this by fox news president of south africa posed has begun and you may have seen this in the press seizing land from his own citizens without compensation because they are the wrong skin color that is literally the definition of racism it's a story that's been making headlines for quite some time in different outlets in multiple countries but there's just too many coincidences here coverage by r.t. to that list throw in russia things get heated. i'm simply shocked shocked shocked that r.t. has also been pushing a story line similar to tucker carlson's about threats facing white south african farmers including this family they claim sought refuge in russia thanks for pointing out i did know that threats to south african farmers was
3:26 pm
a major story on r.t. there must surely be a link here of fox news reports trumps twitter feed r.t. there's a clear pattern if of course we ignore the fact this shuttle has covered related issues in south africa for quite some time the south african parliament has voted in favor of new legislation that could see land from white farmers seized so africa's government has vowed to tackle violent crime a problem that it says poses an equal threat for all races living in the country just outside south africa's capital stands the statue of the man who was behind the policies of apartheid it's a whites only enclave which allows black visitors only under special permit but the discrimination of the apartheid in south africa has long come turn that all the evidence is obvious trumps been talking to the russians again and r.t.e. collude with fox or what to cover when and how it all adds up this u.s. of illustration just loves putin and next time you see reports in russian media
3:27 pm
