When there’s nothing substantive left to say, “patriarchy” often enters the conversation. Add “Brahmin” before it and apparently the argument is complete. J Sai Deepak challenges this familiar playbook. Why is #Manusmriti repeatedly pulled into political attacks on Hindu society, while the Quran, the Old Testament and other religious texts rarely face the same public examination?

The story of Brahmin “privilege” looks very different when you examine present-day socio-economic realities. Prof. Kapil Kapoor challenges one of India’s most persistent narratives, explaining that many Brahmin communities today face poverty, shrinking opportunities and little institutional support. He also examines how caste-based electoral coalitions shaped post-Independence politics and deepened social divisions.

At first glance, you might think this is somewhere in Pakistan. Look again. This is London. A Jaloos marking Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, moving through the streets of Britain’s capital. Britain is changing before our eyes. The question is whether the British themselves realise just how rapidly.

Behind the image of charity, was there a larger missionary agenda? Jerome Anto takes a hard look at Mother Teresa’s legacy, from missionary activity to the privileges that sat uneasily with her image of austerity. Full video: https://youtu.be/_7OFtNQbHJA #MotherTeresa #SangamTalks

What defines a civilisation? Not just progress, but whether it has the courage to confront its past and correct historical wrongs. Some questions make people uncomfortable. That is precisely why they must be asked. 🔥 Full talk: https://zurl.co/AbCPi #SangamTalks #IndianHistory #Babur

Are Hindus asking for too much when we simply expect to celebrate our festivals without our Gods and processions being targeted? In Mumbai’s Mazgaon, eggs were hurled at the Mazgaoncha Morya Ganpati Aagman procession, with one hitting the Ganpati idol. An FIR has now been registered. How many times must Hindus be told to remain peaceful, adjust and move on when even a festival procession cannot pass without being targeted?

In this conversation, Nithin Sridhar explains why the Manusmriti and Dharmashastras cannot be understood through cherry-picking, colonial translations or modern ideological filters. From Shruti and Smriti to Lokachara and the Shravana-Manana-Nididhyasana tradition, discover how these texts were actually meant to be approached. Before condemning a civilisation’s Shastras, perhaps we should first learn how to read them. #SangamTalks #Manusmriti https://youtu.be/NtIX7_lgMqU?si=2DEpxuGoPQKg43ad

They tell you Bharatiya civilisation “caged” its women. Then history introduces you to Rishikas composing Vedic hymns, Vishpala returning to battle with an artificial leg, and Rani Bai fighting Muhammad bin Qasim. Manoshi Sinha asks what the popular narrative leaves out. #IndianHistory #WomenInHistory #SangamTalks

A rare moment when cinema asked an uncomfortable question. The Khilafat Movement raised a question that still echoes through history: India first or Ummah first? #IndianHistory #KhilafatMovement #FreedomMovement

He was only 22 when the British hanged him. Born on 24 August 1908, Shivaram Rajguru chose revolution over submission and embraced the gallows alongside Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev. Nearly a century later, the uncomfortable questions surrounding their execution still refuse to disappear. #Rajguru #BhagatSingh #IndianHistory

In this conversation, Prof. Amitava Chatterjee uncovers the extraordinary story of Bagha Jatin, the revolutionary who nearly sparked a pan-Indian uprising against British rule in 1915. German arms, Indian soldiers and a daring plan to challenge the Empire. Why does Bagha Jatin remain so little known today? #BaghaJatin #IndianHistory #SangamTalks https://youtu.be/usdFeqWBqI0?si=VBsV2Z86DSCRzES1

Did India really need the West to teach it feminism? Mukul Kumar challenges that narrative, tracing women’s agency through the Vedas, epics, Arthashastra, Kamasutra & ancient inscriptions. Maybe the history we were taught is incomplete. Watch: https://zurl.co/wrBoi #IndianHistory #Feminism #SangamTalks

What if the story of Chandra-dev’s special love for Rohini preserves an astronomical observation? Rohini is associated with Aldebaran, one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Dr. Raj Vedam explains how the Moon’s path brings it into occultation with Rohini and why generations of observation may have been preserved through memorable stories. On #NationalSpaceDay, a fascinating glimpse into how our ancestors watched the skies, recorded patterns and passed astronomical knowledge across generations. #IndianAstronomy #NationalSpaceDay2026 #SangamTalks

Schools teach students how to handle FILES. But who teaches them how to handle LIFE? Gauranga Das Prabhu Ji makes a powerful case for bringing the Bhagavad Gita’s wisdom into education, not as ritual, but as a framework for resilience, character, clarity and hope. A conversation every parent, teacher and policymaker should hear. #SangamTalks https://youtu.be/KPdeYpUyTj4?si=Se_M3E8YXDU7wc2q

An uncomfortable piece of history for those trying to manufacture a civilisational divide where none existed.
