00:00How do you represent India to someone of another nationality?

00:04Tell me.

00:04When you go abroad, how do you express what you mean by India?

00:07Beyond the area on the map, what does India mean to you?

00:10It is quite horrifying.

00:12But you have very little beyond the masala dosa.

00:14Or maybe you have a few other things.

00:16Come on.

00:16Like?

00:17Like Bollywood.

00:18The Bhangla.

00:18The cow sitting in the middle of the highway, that is.

00:20The monkey riding the elephant.

00:22These are all good.

00:23Nice.

00:23Vibrant images of the Indian landscape.

00:26Can you fall in love with these?

00:28It's not so easy loving a masala dosa.

00:30Or is it?

00:30That's the entire thing.

00:31We do not know what India stands for.

00:34To love you need something that's sublime.

00:36Something sacred.

00:38Something worth worshipping.

00:39And it's a sad thing that that which is worth worshipping does exist in India.

00:45But is often not deliberately introduced to us.

00:49The root of the Indian nation is essentially spiritual.

00:52You devoid Indians of spirituality.

00:56And they will remain Indians only in name.
