00:00Don't we love to declare Indians are very emotional people?
00:03Do you see where that is coming from?
00:05That is coming from the great respect we have been told to accord to emotion.
00:10This country very urgently needs to respect inquiry, to respect hard facts.
00:17And to put it very mildly, say two hoots to sentiment.
00:20Why should your sentiment be respected?
00:23Yes, if you come up with something truthful, I ought to respect that.
00:26No, but you cannot hurt the feelings of people.
00:29In fact, even the law says that if you hurt public sentiment, then you can be booked.
00:35Public sentiment is most likely to be offended when you utter the facts.
00:40Utter facts and people will be hurt because they don't live in facts.
00:43They live in beliefs.
00:44Even the constitution says that your fundamental rights are subject to public morality.
00:50And public morality is founded more or less on their beliefs.
