0:00.0	Hi everybody this is Gad's
0:02.0	God's a today. I'm very excited to have a wonderful guest a prolific
0:06.7	uh author from India Rajiv Malhotra. How are you doing sir?
0:11.7	Wonderful God wonderful to meet you. I'm looking forward to this
0:15.8	conversation between two of us, both Americans but from different civilizations.
0:20.5	Well I'm Canadian so I'm almost an American.
0:24.0	Okay, well, you are American, North American.
0:27.0	You are not. Canadians are actually very fond of saying that they are Americans, which they are.
0:31.0	Well, and I did study in the U.S. and I was a professor in the US so I'll take that as a compliment. Okay let me just mention for the people who may not know who you are. I don't know if this is a loaded term or not you're a Hindutva activist which basically
0:46.6	means I guess Indian Nationalist. You are the founder of the Infinity Foundation. You're the author of many books including, let me just plug some of these here, being different.

1:24.6	So I would like to make a correction.
1:27.5	I'm not a Hindu-Twa activist.
1:30.1	Okay, let me tell you how I describe myself. I'm a scholar, first of all, there's a difference between a scholar and an activist because a scholar produces a regional scholarship and he talks to other scholars, he criticized other scholars, they criticize him.
1:44.0	So there's a scholar to scholar peer discussion going on and controversies and so
1:49.2	on. Activists are people who may not do original work, they may not do original scholarship, they may not publish anything of original value,
1:57.0	but they take what's already out there by other scholars, some they agree, some they disagree, and they spin it.
2:03.0	So they are more like a distribution chain of knowledge rather than producers of original knowledge.
