About this episode

The ContrThe Controversial Nature of Intellectual kshatriya | Rajiv Malhotra at CoHna -CYAN (Cohna Youth Action Network)


An insightful keynote by Rajiv Malhotra, founder of the Infinity Foundation, at the CoHNA 2024 event, where he explores the essence of being different, the power of controversy, and the need for resilience in challenging established paradigms. Malhotra critiques Shashi Tharoor’s ideas of a passive, introverted Hinduism, instead of a more assertive and proactive approach. Drawing parallels to figures like Jesus Christ, Buddha, and Gandhi, Malhotra highlights the necessity of intellectual disruption and resilience when confronting opposition. He also addresses key themes in Hindu philosophy, leadership, and combating "Hinduphobia" in academia and society, while introducing the Diksha Academy, a platform for training future intellectual Kshatriyas. Through this talk, gain insight into Hinduism's modern relevance and the challenge of defending cultural identity against adversarial forces.
