00:00Think of why India had to be politically divided what was Janna's argument what was the two-nation theory?
00:06He said Hindus and Muslims. They are not just two different religions
00:10They are two different nations because everything about them is distinct
00:16So when you have a nationalism that is founded on differences, then nationalism becomes toxic
00:23violent and leads to horrible consequences
00:27Pakistan got made on the basis of religion, but then had to be divided on the basis of language
00:34So differences never end you find one commonality and behind that commonality there would be ten differences lurking
00:42So we are saying let there be a nationalism that is not founded on the differences between man and man
00:50Instead it is founded on what is common between you and me man and man
00:56Let there be a nationalism based on the unifying principle
01:00That unifying principle as far as I have seen is enunciated most clearly in Vedanta
01:06Vedanta talks of that which dissolves the differences between us
