Why Hindus Don't Have One God And More | Ami Ganatra

India’s civilisational identity is often taken for granted — but few questions are as fundamental, and as complex, as this one: Who are we as Hindus? In this wide-ranging conversation, Ami Ganatra joins Bharatvaarta to explore the philosophical foundations of Hindu thought — from identity and Dharma to the evolution of gods, rituals, and ways of thinking that have shaped this civilisation over thousands of years. We unpack why Hindu thought has no single founder or fixed doctrine, how it accommodates multiple ways of seeing the world, and why questioning has always been central to its growth. The discussion explores ideas like karma, rebirth, and a formless ultimate reality expressed through many forms. The conversation moves through deeper questions — how ancient people understood nature and divinity, why Vedic gods like Indra and Agni lost primacy over time, and how practices evolved from rituals to philosophy to lived experience. It also examines the absence of blasphemy, the idea of multiple truths, and why this way of thinking has remained dynamic rather than rigid. This episode isn’t about religion in the conventional sense. It’s about a way of thinking — one that has adapted, questioned, and endured. ⸻ ⏱️ Chapters (1:19:30) 00:00 – 00:40 • Opening Hook: Identity & the Question “Who Are We?” 00:40 – 03:30 • What Does It Mean to Be a Hindu? 03:30 – 08:30 • Origins of the Term “Hindu” & Civilisational Identity 08:30 – 12:30 • Karma, Rebirth & What Connects Hindu Thought 12:30 – 17:30 • No Single Rulebook: Why It Never Became Rigid 17:30 – 22:00 • Dharma & Rta: Living with the Cosmic Order 22:00 – 27:00 • Is Hinduism a Religion or Something Else? 27:00 – 32:00 • The Idea of “Other” & Worldview Differences 32:00 – 37:00 • Questioning, Debate & No Concept of Blasphemy 37:00 – 43:00 • Evolution of Gods: From Nature to Form 43:00 – 48:00 • Indra, Agni & Why Early Gods Lost Centrality 48:00 – 54:00 • Rituals, Yajnas & Early Human Understanding 54:00 – 01:00:00 • Many Gods, One Reality Explained 01:00:00 – 01:06:00 • Shruti vs Smriti: Eternal vs Evolving Knowledge 01:06:00 – 01:12:00 • Schools of Thought & Diversity of Ideas 01:12:00 – 01:19:30 • Why This Civilisation Continues to Adapt ⸻ 👉 If you found this conversation valuable, subscribe to Bharatvaarta.

SAISON 1, ÉPISODE 1

Episode 1: Flags of our fathers

Mahatma Gandhi’s story begins in Kathiawar, also known as Saurashtra, a land steeped in mythology and history. It is said that Lord Krishna settled here after his flight from Mathura and established the city of Dwarka, which is today a pilgrimage centre. According to the Mahabharata, the Yadavas ruled the entire region between Prabha Patan, home to the famous Somnath temple, and the Girnar Hill just beyond Porbandar. At some stage, they earned the wrath and curse of Lord Krishna, eventually killing themselves in a drunken brawl. From this, we get the term ‘yadavi’ which means fratricidal strife. Gandhi often used to tell this tale in his final days, warning that this is what would happen to India if ethnic fires were not doused. Muslim, Zoroastrianism, Christian and Sufi influences intermingled to form a culture of tolerance in Kathiawar. In Porbandar, for instance, there used to be a haveli in which the name of Allah was chanted along with that of Ishwar and Rama with Rahim’s. It is in this melting pot that the Gandhis lived and thrived, and where an infant named Mohandas came into the world on October 2, 1869. Welcome to this conversation between Ashraf Engineer, host our of the All Indians Matter podcast, and Tushar Gandhi, great grandson of the Mahatma, author and peace activist.

Story of Maharani Tarabai - Maratha Queen who Defeated Aurangzeb | Medha Bhaskaran

After the execution of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the Maratha Empire stood on the brink of collapse. Leadership was uncertain. The Mughals were advancing. And the idea of Swaraj seemed close to fading. But history didn’t unfold the way it was expected to. In this conversation, Medha Bhaskaran — author of Queen Tara: Kali of the Deccan — joins Bharatvaarta to trace the rise of Maharani Tarabai, a leader who emerged from the margins of power to take charge in one of the most critical moments in Indian history. We explore how Tarabai, initially far removed from succession, became a “destiny queen” — shaped not by circumstance alone, but by training, political exposure, and conviction. From her unconventional upbringing to her early understanding of power, the episode examines how her leadership was forged long before she formally took control. The conversation moves through the chaos following Sambhaji Maharaj’s death — the fragmentation of authority, the pressure of Mughal expansion, and the difficult decisions that defined this phase. It highlights how survival itself became strategy, and how resistance was sustained not through brute force alone, but through adaptability and intelligence. We also unpack the nature of warfare in this period — from guerrilla tactics and disruption of supply lines to psychological warfare and misinformation — and how these methods allowed a smaller force to withstand a far larger empire. At its core, this episode is not just about a historical figure. It’s about leadership under uncertainty, the role of women in moments of crisis, and how power can emerge from the most unexpected places. And above all, it is the story of a ruler who refused to let a collapsing moment define the future of a civilisation. ⸻ ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – 01:10 • Opening Hook: Collapse of the Maratha Empire 01:10 – 04:30 • Sambhaji Maharaj’s Execution & Aftermath 04:30 – 08:30 • Aurangzeb’s Expansion & The Deccan Crisis 08:30 – 12:30 • The Idea of Swaraj Under Threat 12:30 – 16:30 • Who Was Tarabai?

Cold War 2.0 Explained | Velina Tchakarova on Wars, Power & India’s Choices

The world is entering a phase where crises no longer unfold in isolation — wars, supply chains, energy chokepoints, sanctions, and strategic rivalries are now tightly connected inside a rapidly accelerating global power transition.In this wide-ranging conversation, Velina Tchakarova joins Bharatvaarta to explain why we are now living through what she calls Cold War 2.0 — a far more complex confrontation than the first Cold War, shaped not just by military blocs but by technology, finance, energy systems, and strategic interdependence. We unpack why the United States–China rivalry now defines the international system, how the war involving Iran fits into a larger strategic framework, and why chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz can trigger global economic consequences far beyond the region. The conversation moves through proxy wars, the future of Ukraine, the long-term ambitions of Russia, the erosion of Europe’s security architecture, and why global shocks now spread faster than political systems can respond. It ends with India’s unique strategic position: not fully inside any bloc, yet central to all of them. Velina explains why India may be the only true bridge power in an increasingly divided world — and why that role comes with enormous responsibility. This episode isn’t about one war.It’s about the structure of the world that is emerging beneath all of them. ⸻⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – 01:25 • Opening Hook: Why the World Feels Simultaneously Unstable 01:25 – 08:50 • Cold War 2.0: Why This Rivalry Is More Complex Than Before 08:50 – 14:15 • Globalisation, Decoupling & Why Supply Chains Now Matter Geopolitically 14:15 – 27:20 • Iran War: What Triggered It and Why the US Got Involved 27:20 – 37:15 • Three Endgames for Iran & What Happens If Hormuz Stays Disrupted 37:15 – 44:30 • Russia–Ukraine: Why Russia’s Long-Term Goals Haven’t Changed 44:30 – 52:15 • Europe Under Pressure: Hybrid Warfare, Energy & Strategic Fragility 52:15 – 59:50 • Ripple Effects: Why Every Flashpoint Now Connects to Another 59:50 – 01:06:30 • India’s Strategic Autonomy in a Dividing World 01:06:30 – 01:10:30 • Why India Is the Only True Bridge Between Rival Blocs 01:10:30 – 01:14:00 • India’s Civilisational Responsibility in the New Order⸻ 👉 If you found this conversation valuable, subscribe to Bharatvaarta.We bring you serious, long-form discussions on geopolitics, power, civilisation, and India’s strategic future. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/bharatvaarta/id1636240449 X → https://x.com/bharatvaarta Instagram →https://www.instagram.com/bharatvaarta/ ⸻ 👤 Guest — Velina TchakarovaGeopolitical Strategist | Strategic Foresight Expert X → https://x.com/vtchakarova Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/velina.tchakarova/ ⸻ 👤 Host — Roshan Cariappa X → https://x.com/RoshanCariappa Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/carygottheblues/

Why the West Misunderstands Indians and Hindus | Vishal Ganesan- Researcher

For over a century, the West has viewed Hindus through its own lens — first as mystics, now as misunderstood outsiders. In this conversation, Vishal Ganesan, founder of Frontier Dharma and Hindoo History, joins Roshan Cariappa to unpack how old prejudices have evolved into modern bias — and why Hindus still struggle to define their story in global discourse.

We all know about Mahatma Gandhi’s work, but few know of the role his wife Kasturba played in it. Kasturba was not a mute but was, in fact, a great freedom fighter, a pioneering satyagrahi and often her husband’s chief strategist and harshest critic. All Indians Matter presents a six-part series, ‘Kastur: In Gandhi’s Shadow, His Guiding Light’, to bring into focus the woman Kasturba really was. Join me, Ashraf Engineer, as I interview Tushar Gandhi, great grandson of Kasturba and the Mahatma, an author, a peace activist and someone who’s striving to keep Gandhi relevant in today’s India. Together, we play back the saga that was Kasturba's life. Follow Bingepods on Instagram for more updates. Show credits: Produced by: Akhil Rajani Sound Engineer: Stanley Chacko, Vardhan Deshpande

HISTOIRE
It’s been 73 years but the details of the conspiracy, who was involved, who benefited, why some people got away, the lapses in the investigation and the limitations of the commission of inquiry are not fully understood by most Indians. Gandhi was not just the father of the nation, he was also its conscience. In this series, Tushar Gandhi, great grandson of the Mahatma and president of the Mahatma Gandhi Foundation, details the conspiracy, delves into the role of each player and sheds fresh light on what most Indians still don’t know about the killing. This series also marks the launch of – a new format in which we will look at issues or events in great depth, uncovering facets and shedding light on those not well known. We look in-depth at the Murder of the Mahatma.
