The Spiritual Pulse of Nationalism | Satya Samvad EP 14
In the fourteenth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar talks about how nationalism is inherently spiritual, especially in the Bharatiya context. In a world where politics and nationalism have become uber-mechanistic and even been weaponized, it is important to understand the premise of Bharat itself and what connects us to it, for delineating what nationalism could mean for a more sustainable and Dharmic tomorrow. Luminaries like Sri Aurobindo, Acharya Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda spoke of the oneness inherent in Darshanas and Indian Knowledge systems like Vedanta as the basis for bringing together the diversity that we see in Bharat. Dr. Guha Majumdar highlights verses from the Vedas to reinforce the idea that the conceptualization of national identity is inherently transcendental. The key to harnessing this thought would be to look at how this transcendentalism can help us attain balance between the universal and the contextual, the dialectic and the practical, as a nation.

Indigenizing Indian Education: The Gurukul Model | Satya Samvad EP 13
In the thirteenth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar interacts with Dr. Archana Purushottam about the Gurukul model of education and how the Indian Knowledge Systems can naturally lead to pedagogical systems that facilitate comprehensive teaching and learning. Bharat underwent colonization on multiple fronts at the hands of successive imperialist powers - political and economic primarily, but also on the intellectual front. A major way that this was effectuated was using the two-pronged approach: firstly, by demolishing indigenous Bharatiya institutions of wisdom and education, such as Nalanda and Vikramshila, and secondly promoting foreign value s and ideas as the foundation of a `progressive' education model, such as done by the likes of Macaulay. In an increasingly polarized world, the comprehensiveness and cosmopolitanism of Bharatiya knowledge generation and dissemination may just be the need of the hour, with a vision for the future rooted in the civilizational heritage of Bharat.

The Power of Hindu Mathematics | Satya Samvad EP 12
In the twelfth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar interacts with Dr. Bhaskar Kamble about the identity, relevance and power of Hindu mathematics. We are moving surefootedly towards Bharatiya decolonization on various fronts, one of which involves reclaiming our mathematical heritage, from realizing that the Pythagoras Theorem should be called the Baudhayana formula just as much as Meruprastara may be more apt name for what we know as Pascal's triangle. Bharat has had the dual of centralization and decentralization in thought. Centralization in a fundamental philosophy and way of life, and decentralization in the ways it is seen in myriad avenues of life and society. Mathematics happens to be one such area. For example, in Dharmic philosophy, the concept of infinity is significant, representing the boundless and eternal nature of the universe, as seen in the celebrated Shloka Purnamadha Purnamidam. During the Vedic Period, religious texts show evidence of the utilization of large numerical values. By the era of the Yajurveda Samhita (1200–900 BCE), numbers as extensive as 10^12 were incorporated into texts. The Satapatha Brahmana, dating back to around the 7th century BCE, includes guidelines for ritualistic geometric constructions that bear resemblance to the principles outlined in the Sulba Sutra, which had one of the earliest extant verbal expression of the Pythagorean Theorem in the world. Over the centuries, we lost many of our traditional mathematical techniques. Decolonization in the modern context means that we must reclaim our intellectual capital, and mathematics must be part-and-parcel of that exercise.

Mapping Dharma: Geography of Hinduism
In the eleventh episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar talks to Dr. Jijith Nidumuri Ravi, a former ISRO scientist who founded Dharma Digital - a platform using VR and AR to promote Sanatana Dharma, and who is currently exploring the fascinating world of geo-ethnography of the Vedas and Itihasa-Purana, from the geography of Ayodhya and Dwarka to the chronological correlation of eminent figures such as Bhishma's father Maharaja Shantanu and Sri Ram. In this episode, we discuss the historical dating of the Mahabharat War, the identification of River Saraswati, definition of the measuring length of Yojanas, Jijith's determination of Ramayana's Laṅkā not being current-day Sri Lanka but being located on the Narmadā river and the conjecture that Śikhaṇḍī was a descendant of Ambā, Studying the geo-ethnography of Hindu texts and Dharmic traditions, we look forward to dismantle the premise of the smear campaign undertaken by anti-Hindu forces that deny the veracity and significance of our civilizational foundations, and hope to establish a sense of rootedness and decolonization based on our ethos and extant heritage.
