    This episode explores the “We Belong” Impact Summit 2026 and its emphasis on inclusion and community influence.

    TCS Nashik Case: The Tip of the Iceberg?

    In this video, Vijaya Viswanathan (Trustee, Infinity Foundation) presents a critical perspective on global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) frameworks and their influence on corporate workplace policies.Using a reported case from TCS’s Nashik office as a reference point, she discusses how emerging workplace inclusion practices—particularly those related to religious accommodation—may be increasingly shaped by ESG-linked compliance and scoring systems.The talk examines initiatives such as religious diversity and inclusion indices (including the REDI index) and suggests that such mechanisms could influence how companies evaluate and reward “inclusion” practices under the ESG “S” category.The video also questions whether global ESG governance models adequately reflect regional cultural contexts, particularly in India, and calls for consideration of India-specific approaches to corporate governance and social policy.#TCSNashik #ESG #CorporateGovernance #WorkplaceCulture #IndiaWho Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

    Who Shapes India's Self-Understanding?

    A thought-provoking conversation at the Indraprastha Cultural Festival brings together Manogna Sastry, Anil Sahasrabudhe, and Nitin Seth, moderated by Aparna Vijayan, to examine a deeper question beneath public discourse: how India understands itself. Moving beyond surface narratives, the panel explores how civilizational frameworks, educational institutions, and digital systems shape the categories through which reality is interpreted. From the legacy of historical disruption to the challenges of unexamined inherited lenses, the discussion connects knowledge systems to questions of strength, policy, and technological futures. The conversation ultimately asks whether India today defines itself on its own terms — or continues to think through frameworks it has yet to fully interrogate. The Hindi edition of Infinity Foundation’s path-breaking book, गंगा में विषधर, was also launched by the esteemed panel, along with the editor Anurag Sharma.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

    Is India's Sovereignty Robust or Fragile?

    In this provocative keynote at the Indraprastha Cultural Festival, Rajiv Malhotra, Founder of Infinity Foundation, delivers a wake-up call regarding India’s Sovereignty as a Subscription. Drawing from the spirit of the Mahabharata, he argues that India is currently chasing the wrong goals by prioritizing "feel-good" emotions over the harsh realities of Narrative Warfare and technological dependence.Rajiv Malhotra highlights a dangerous trend: while India celebrates being a top consumer of Western platforms, it remains a "technology beggar." He critiques the Left-liberal ecosystem and the NGO-ization of Discourse for fostering an Internal Colonization that weakens the national resolve. He calls for a robust Kshatriya-Vaishya Complex—a modern military-industrial framework—to ensure that India moves from being a "land of Shudras" (service providers for Western IP) to a global leader in innovation. Without Technological Swaraj, he warns, political sovereignty is a fragile illusion.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

    India's Sovereignty in a Changing World Order

    In this critical panel discussion, Rajiv Malhotra, Ambassador Kanwal Sibal, and Sankrant Sanu examine the shifting global order through the lens of hard power and technological Swaraj. Rajiv Malhotra argues that India is currently caught in a state of internal colonization due to a fundamental lack of indigenous R&D and intellectual property. He warns that without a robust military-industrial complex, India remains vulnerable to a new form of digital colonization led by the US-China duopoly.The conversation moves beyond mere narrative warfare to address the "root cause" of India's dependency: the failure of the left-liberal ecosystem and short-term Jugaad thinking to invest in foundational technologies like AI and semiconductors. The speakers challenge the current industrial policy, noting that while India has "lakhs of engineers," they are often reduced to modern-day sepoys serving foreign predator civilizations through global capability centers that own the IP developed by Indian brains.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

    Escaping the Digestive Predator: A Story of Reclaiming Adhikara and Civilizational Self-Respect

    In this compelling continuation, Rajiv Malhotra speaks with young women who are survivors of radicalization and conversion to uncover the mechanics of radicalization and the systemic Digestion of Hindu identity. The witnesses describe a harrowing "U-Turn" where a lack of Civilizational Literacy and Dharmic Education left them vulnerable to a Predator Civilization that uses Decontextualization and Semantic Hijacking to alienate youth from their roots.One survivor, Shruti, recounts her experience in a Trojan Horse educational institution where her Ahamkara and Buddhi were targeted through constant mockery of Murti Puja. This "whitewashing" of history—steeped in Marxist historiography—created an Internal Colonization of the mind, leading her to eventually reject her parents as "Kafirs."The turning point came not through emotional manipulation, but through the rigorous application of Purva-paksha (the traditional method of dialectical critique). By "Reversing the Gaze," their Guru exposed the Western Grand Narrative and the theological inconsistencies of the invading ideology. Today, these women have reclaimed their Adhikara and are part of a mission that has brought back over 8,000 individuals to Sanatana Dharma. Their stories serve as a vital manual for Cultural Self-Defense and Narrative Sovereignty.Watch Part 1 - https://youtu.be/6uJ2QDl63ds?si=p6rRf9kT57Dko687Connect to Aarsha Vidya Samajam-Websitearshaworld.orgYoutubewww.youtube.com/@UCUrBYhbZdED-bPRhN8x6yCg www.youtube.com/@AarshaVidyaSamajamEnglishwww.youtube.com/@AarshaVidyaSamajamHindiWho Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

    Reversing the Gaze: Rajiv Malhotra on The Battle for Sanskrit & the Future of Indian Heritage

    University, honors Malhotra’s decades of Sadhana in protecting the Indian knowledge tradition. Far from a generic lecture, Malhotra’s remarks serve as a definitive defense of his work, articulating how Western Indology has systematically taken over Sanskrit studies over the last two centuries.Rajiv Malhotra emphasizes that the book is a strategic Purva-paksha (methodical challenge) against Western Academia. He argues that Indian scholars must move beyond internal discussions and engage their opponents in their own language and forums—such as Harvard and Oxford—to reclaim their Adhikara (authority). By highlighting the Western Grand Narrative and its Marxist Historiography, Malhotra calls for a new generation of Sanskrit scholars who are not "compromised" but are equipped for Narrative Warfare. This launch marks a pivotal moment for Narrative Sovereignty, transforming how we view the relationship between Sanskrit and the soul of our civilization.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

    The Wokefication of India’s Education

    Education shapes civilization. However,a silent takeover is underway. Indian education is being rewired—from knowledge to ideology, from inquiry to activism. This isn’t decolonization; it’s recolonization by new elites. The classroom has become the newest battlefield in a much larger war over India’s future.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/
