Acharya Prashant states that culturalists, particularly Hindu culturalists, often harbor animosity towards other religions, yet ironically, their own culture is heavily influenced by those very faiths. He explains that because people from other religions ruled over them, their customs were adopted and are now mistakenly claimed as one's own. When anyone attempts to change these adopted practices, these culturalists resist, insisting on preserving what they call "their" culture. He illustrates this with the example of the veil (ghunghat), which is still prevalent in North India. He clarifies that this practice did not originate in the Vedic period but was introduced through Islam. He points out the contradiction of culturalists who resent Islam yet fiercely defend the custom of the veil, sometimes resorting to violence if women in their families do not adhere to it. He further argues that practices like honor killing are not part_of the original Vedic culture but were brought by foreign invaders and have been absorbed into the current culture, which he describes as being based on slavery. He criticizes the pride taken in this so-called "Hindu culture," questioning its authenticity. The speaker observes that the regions of India most affected by foreign invasions are where the condition of women is the worst, citing the prevalence of female foeticide and infanticide in these areas. He challenges the romanticized notion of a "glorious Hindu culture" where women are worshipped as goddesses, contrasting it with the harsh realities of domestic violence and the dowry system. He argues that if women were truly revered, they would be granted freedom, not subjected to such oppressive practices. Acharya Prashant asserts that true Indian values are rooted in Vedanta, which teaches that life is for liberation (mukti), not for indulgence (bhog). He urges those who identify as Hindu to look to their eternal texts, the Vedas, and the philosophy of Vedanta, rather than blindly following tradition. He advises listening to the wisdom of the Gita over the customs passed down by ancestors to understand the ideal Sanatani personality.
