Indoctrination

By: Desi Italiana on 28 Jul 2007

I must admit, I'm enraptured by the videos below, the first two being from Pakistan, and the latter two from India. The speakers seem to be channeling some sort of anger, disaffection, anxieties, need for purpose and direction, desire for identity, and collective self worth. And I can't quite pin these sentiments down and articulate them.

Watch the four videos below. Witness how in all four, there are children who are listening to this baqwaas. These children are not present out of their own free will, but have been brought by adults. And children- being impressionable that they are- are internalizing this indoctrination.

As a Hindu, I'm sickened and distressed by the words coming from the saffron-wearing thugs in the last two videos. Occasionally on Passtheroti we see comments from people defending the Hindutva ideology. I'd like to ask those people to explain to me how they can possibly condone this kind of thing. Any takers?

What about the first two videos about radical muslims. I am quite sickened by those.
