As India Raises our Way of Doing Things will Become a Brand for others to follow.
Speaking at the Republic Dialogues, Gurumurthy said that As India Raises, The Bharatiya Thoughts, Bharatiya Models, our Way of Doing Things will Become a Brand for others to follow.
Every Defeated Nation Formulates its Strategy to Come Up by Wearing Somebody else's Attire and Imitating their Culture. We Were not a Confident Nation and we also Did the Same. Now We are Becoming a Confident Society. Our lawyers, Business people in every other Sector are becoming Confident and now We can Come up with our own Theories and Practices.
As India Raises, The Bharatiya Thoughts, Bharatiya Models, our Way of Doing Things will Become a Brand for others to follow.
- 'Liberal democracies are doomed without India'
If India doesn't stand with liberal democracies then there will be no liberal democracy in the world. Gurumurthy said, "We should not be a liberal democracy. We are a civilizational democracy. We recognize all the constituents. There are caste-based parties, they are religion-based parties, and there are language-based parties. These all are completely anti-liberalism. But we recognize all of them. We have a functioning democracy. We are able to stick together, work together and grow together. It’s not a joke."
- West's damage to the environment
Gurumurthy also showed the mirror to western nations on the environmental damage they have been causing while preaching environment conservation to developing countries. "The environment is the discourse of the West which is doing the most damage for the last 50-60 years. In the West, there is a saying 'precept and practice'. What you say, you must practice. But our philosophy is to practice and then only speak," he said.
- ‘There will be no Shanghai’
"I hear it from the highest authority, in 2020, China did say the war may not be limited to the borders. Indian authorities said you mean to say you will attack Bombay, I will ensure you, there will be no Shanghai. This is the India we are seeing today," S Gurumurthy said.
- 'Can only the western way be modern?'
Detailing how the changing definition of modernization challenged the 'one-size-fits-all' model of the US, Gurumurthy explained how the world is being restructured. “Every civilization has a way of renewing itself. Modernity takes place in almost every civilization. Every civilization has a way of modernizing itself in a sense which they say that this will not suit the future. However, this is not the discourse in India as the Indian discourse is not original. We have been put in a category of people who can never modernize themselves,” he said.
