00:00What do you mean exactly by rich culture?
00:02What is this richness in culture?
00:04The fireworks that you celebrate so much in Diwali, do you think you are having fireworks
00:08three centuries back?
00:09Again that is something that has a foreign imprint on that.
00:12But today you say it's an inalienable part of my culture.
00:15What do you mean by your culture?
00:16What you call as your culture is largely the culture of those who invaded you.
00:20Were Indian women covering their heads in pre-Islamic times?
00:25Figure that out.
00:26How is it your culture now?
00:27It is the culture of the invaders.
00:29The same invaders that you hate so much.
00:31Pulao.
00:32Where is pulao coming from?
00:33Do you know where your aversion to alcohol is coming from?
00:35It is coming from the invaders.
00:37In your culture, alcohol was great.
00:39Not that everybody was a drunkard.
00:41But nobody was taking the issue of alcohol very seriously.
00:45Culture is time bound and must change with time.
00:48Do not take culture as sacred or holy.
00:51Satya is holy, not Sanskriti.
