00:00What is culture? Believe me, you don't follow the culture of the 17th, 18th century.
00:05The language we are talking in is not a part of your culture.
00:08Why are you communicating to me in this alien language?
00:10Where is Kota Pajama coming from? It is coming from the same invaders.
00:14Aloo, potato and tomato, they were not there in the Vedic times.
00:18Invaders brought them very recently.
00:20But do you enjoy aloo like anything?
00:21For all those who keep talking only of Sanskriti, keep aloo away first thing.
00:25What you call as your culture is largely the culture of those who invaded you.
00:29When a woman wears saree and covers her head, you say, look, lajja.
00:34This modesty is Indian culture.
00:36Were Indian women covering their heads in pre-Islamic times?
00:40It is the culture of the invaders.
00:41The same invaders that you hate so much.
00:43And you use your culture to hate them.
00:45The fact is even your culture is coming from the invaders.
00:48We are proud that we reformed and refined our culture.
00:52Aren't you proud of that?
00:53Culture is man-made and it should keep getting refined and must change with time.
