00:00Veganisms are somewhat distanced from spirituality.
00:05What is your advice on bringing this alignment back into the movement?
00:10India has religiosity in its soil.
00:14Even our gods have taken forms of animals often.
00:18You have Matsa avatar, you have Furma avatar.
00:20All kinds of improbable animals have hosted our gods.
00:25Think of fish, think of a tortoise.
00:27Even crows think snakes.
00:31So Indians by their very spiritual training are already ripe to very quickly turn vegan.
00:40But you cannot impose imported western ideologies on them and hope that they will listen.
00:46They will not listen.
00:47Western narrative?
00:49Exactly.
00:49And it doesn't apply.
00:50That western veganism simply won't work in India.
00:54It has not worked.
00:55It will not work even in the future.
00:56You cannot talk to the Indian people in a language of ideology.
01:01Indians won't listen to ideology.
01:03And that's the reason why the vegan community in India is still so small.
01:07We are talking down to the people.
01:09We are treating as if we are at a higher intellectual station.
01:13And those people down there need to listen to us.
01:15This won't work.
01:16And that's the only one year old.
01:17You've been ragreek in India.
01:17This is my father, I'm your dad.
01:17You are the only one, I'm your dad.
01:18I have been told.
01:18It's a young man.
01:19I'm your dad.
