(00:05) మనం ప్రాణంగా ప్రేమించే ఆ ఫీలింగ్ నిజానికి మన మెదడు ఆడే ఒక కెమికల్ గేమ్ అయితే వినడానికి కొంచెం షాకింగ్ గా ఉంది కదు ఈరోజు మనం చేయబోయే ఈ అద్భుతమైన విశ్లేషణలో అసలు ఈ ప్రేమ భ్రమల వెనుక దాగున్న ఆ సైంటిఫిక్ సీక్రెట్ ఏంటో డీకోడ్ చేద్దాం. మన మనసుకి సంబంధించిన ఒక మిస్టరీని సాల్వ్ చేస్తూ ప్రతిరోజు మనం చూసే ఎమోషన్స్ వెనుక ఉన్న రియాలిటీని బయట పెడదాం.
(00:30) మన టాలీవుడ్ సినిమాల్లో చూస్తుంటాం కదా హీరో హీరోయిన్ల మధ్య ఫస్ట్ సైట్ లోనే ప్రేమ పుట్టేయడం చుట్టూ ఉన్న ప్రపంచం అంతా ఆగిపోవడం ఇదంతా చూసి ఆ తొలిచూపు ప్రేమ వెనక నిజంగానే ఏదో మ్యాజిక్ ఉందని మనం కూడా ఫీల్ అవుతాం. బట్ యాక్చువల్లీ తెర వెనక జరుగుతున్నది ఏంటి? అది కేవలం మన బ్రెయిన్ ప్లే చేస్తున్న ఒక ట్రిక్ మాత్రమేనా అసలు కథ ఏంటో ఇప్పుడు చూద్దాం.
(00:52) దీని గురించి కొంచెం లోతుగా ఆలోచిస్తే ఒక మైండ్ బ్లోయింగ్ ఫాక్ట్ బయటపడుతుంది. ఎవరైనా సరే ఒకరిపై విపరీతమైన ఆకర్షణ పెంచుకున్న ఆ స్టార్టింగ్ స్టేజ్ లో బ్రెయిన్ లోని వెంల్ టెగ్మెంటల్ ఏరియా అంటే వీటిఏ అంటారు. అది విపరీతంగా యాక్టివేట్ అయిపోతుంది. షాకింగ్ విషయం ఏంటంటే ఒక వ్యక్తి కోకేన్ లాంటి డ్రగ్స్ తీసుకున్నప్పుడు బ్రెయిన్ లో ఏ పార్ట్ అయితే రెస్పాండ్ అవుతుందో ఎగ్జాక్ట్ గా అదే పార్ట్ ఈ ప్రేమలో పడ్డప్పుడు కూడా యాక్టివేట్ అవుతుంది.
(01:21) అంటే బయోలాజికల్ గా చూస్తే ఆరంభపు ప్రేమ అనేదే బ్రెయిన్ కు పట్టే ఒక వ్యసనం లాంటిది అన్నమాట. సరే ఈ మత్తు ఎలాంటిది ఇది కేవలం శారీరక ఆకర్షణ మీద డిపెండ్ అయి ఉంటుంది. ఇది చాలా ఫాస్ట్ గా వచ్చి మనల్ని విపరీతమైన టెన్షన్ కి గురిచేసి మెంటల్ గా ఎగ్జాస్ట్ చేసేస్తుంది. కానీ నిజమైన ప్రేమ అలా కాదు. అది ఒకరి వాల్యూస్ ఆధారంగా చాలా నెమ్మదిగా స్ట్రాంగ్ గా బిల్డ్ అవుతుంది.
(01:46) అలాగే అది ఎనర్జీని ఇస్తుంది. ప్రాబ్లం ఏంటంటే ఆ ఫస్ట్ స్టేజ్ లో ఉండే ఆ కెమికల్ కిక్ నే శాశ్వతమైన ప్రేమ అనుకుని ఒక ఇల్యూజన్ లో బతికేస్తుంటాం. అయితే అంత అడ్వాన్స్డ్ అయిన మన బ్రెయిన్ ఆ ఇల్యూజన్ లోకి అంత ఈజీగా ఎలా ట్రాప్ అవుతుంది? ఎగ్జాక్ట్ గా ఇక్కడే మన బయాలజీ ఒక పర్ఫెక్ట్ మాస్టర్ ప్లాన్ వేస్తుంది. ఒక జంటను కలపడానికి బ్రెయిన్ ఆడే ఆ మూడు దశల ట్రాప్ ఏంటి అది ఎలా లాక్ చేస్తుందో ఇప్పుడు రివీల్ చేద్దాం.
(02:17) ఈ నాటకంలో మెయిన్ కల్ప్రిట్స్ ఎవరంటే మన బాడీలోని కెమికల్స్ే ఫేజ్ వన్ లో టెస్టోస్టరాన్ ఈస్ట్రోజెన్ లాంటి హార్మోన్స్ వల్ల కేవలం ఫిజికల్ అట్రాక్షన్ మొదలవుతుంది. ఆ తర్వాత డోపమైన్ ఎంటర్ అవ్వగానే సెకండ్ ఫేజ్ స్టార్ట్ అవుతుంది. అప్పుడే ఆ పర్సన్ మీద విపరీతమైన ఫోకస్ ఒక రకమైన ఎక్స్ట్రీమ్ ఎక్సైట్మెంట్ వస్తుంది. ఆ తర్వాతే ఆక్సిటోసిన్ లాంటివి వచ్చి లాంగ్ టర్మ్ బాండింగ్ కి బేస్ క్రియేట్ చేస్తాయి.
(02:44) అసలు మనకే తెలియకుండా ఈ ఫేజెస్ గుండా డ్రాగ్ చేయడం నిజంగానే నేచర్ ప్లే చేస్తున్న ఒక బ్రిలియంట్ ట్రిక్ కానీ అసలైన ట్విస్ట్ ఇక్కడే ఉంది. ప్రాణం కన్నా ఎక్కువగా ఫీల్ అయ్యే ఆ అబ్సెసివ్ అట్రాక్షన్ ఫేజ్ ఉంది కదా అది లైఫ్ లాంగ్ ఉండదు. బయలాజికల్ గా చూస్తే అది కేవలం మూడు నుంచి 12 నెలల వరకే ఉండేలా ప్రోగ్రాం్ చేయబడింది. ఆ టైం లిమిట్ క్రాస్ అవ్వగానే ఆ కెమికల్స్ ఎఫెక్ట్ దానంతటా అదే డౌన్ అయిపోతుంది.
(03:10) అప్పుడే ఎదుటు వ్యక్తుల రియల్ క్యారెక్టర్ వాళ్ళ ఫ్లాస్ అన్ని క్లియర్ గా కనిపించడం స్టార్ట్ అవుతాయి. ఈలోపు బాడీలో ఎలాంటి యుద్ధం జరుగుతుందో తెలుసా? బ్రెయిన్ లో డోపమైన్ పీక్స్ కి వెళ్ళిపోయి హార్ట్ బీట్ పెరిగిపోవడం చేతుల్లో చెమట్లు పట్టడం లాంటివి జరుగుతాయి. దానికి తోడు సెరోటోనిన్ లెవెల్స్ అమాంతం పడిపోతాయి. ఇలా సెరోటోనిన్ డ్రాప్ అవ్వడం వల్లే ఆ వ్యక్తి గురించి పదే పదే పిచ్చిగా ఆలోచిస్తుంటాం.
(03:37) మెడికల్ టర్మ్స్ లో చెప్పాలంటే ఇది దాదాపు అబ్సెసివ్ కంపల్సివ్ డిసార్డర్ లేదా ఓసిడి పేషెంట్స్ లో కనిపించే లక్షణాలతో ఈక్వల్ అన్నమాట. నమశక్యంగా లేదు కదా మన పెద్దవాళ్ళు ఊరికే అనలేదు ప్రేమ గుడ్డిది అని దీని వెనక ఒక సాలిడ్ సైంటిఫిక్ రీజన్ ఉంది. అదే ప్రీ ఫ్రంటల్ కార్టెక్స్ డయాక్టివేషన్ సింపుల్ గా చెప్పాలంటే బ్రెయిన్ లో లాజికల్ గా ఆలోచించి సరైన నిర్ణయాలు తీసుకునే పార్ట్ ఉంటుంది కదా దాన్ని ఈ కెమికల్స్ కావాలని టెంపరరీగా షట్ డౌన్ చేసేస్తాయి.
(04:08) ఒక సిస్టం ని హ్యాక్ చేసినట్టు. దీనివల్ల ఎదుటి వ్యక్తిలో ఎన్ని రెడ్ ఫ్లాగ్స్ ఉన్నా సరే అవి అస్సలు కనిపించవు. ఇదంతా జంటలను కలపడానికి మన బయాలజీ ఆడే ఒక గేమ్. ఇప్పటివరకు ఈ కెమికల్స్ మనల్ని గాలిలో ఎలా తేలియాడేలా చేస్తాయో చూసాం. బట్ వెయిట్ ఈ స్టోరీలో ఒక డార్క్ సైడ్ కూడా ఉంది. ఇలా కెమికల్ హైలో ఉండిపోయి లాజిక్ ని పక్కన పెట్టేసి గుడ్డిగా ముందుకు వెళ్తే ఎలాంటి డేంజర్స్ లో పడతాం.
(04:34) ఇప్పుడు ఆ త్రిల్లింగ్ పార్ట్ ని ఎక్స్ప్లోర్ చేద్దాం. సైకియాట్రిస్ట్ డాక్టర్ జూడిత్ ఓర్లాఫ్ గృహింస బారిన పడిన వారిని స్టడీ చేసినప్పుడు ఒక కామన్ పాటర్న్ ని అబ్సర్వ్ చేశారు. వాళ్ళలో విపరీతమైన అట్రాక్షన్ ఉన్నప్పటికీ వాళ్ళ బాడీ ముందుగానే డేంజర్ ని సెన్స్ చేసిందట. లోపల ఏదో తప్పు జరుగుతోందని వాళ్ళ గట్ ఫీలింగ్ వార్నింగ్ ఇచ్చింది.
(04:57) కానీ ఆ డోపమైన్ రష్ లో పడిపోయి ఆ సిగ్నల్స్ ని ఇగ్నోర్ చేశారు. రిజల్ట్ ఒక భయంకరమైన ట్రాప్ లో చిక్కుకుపోయారు. అందుకే బ్రెయిన్ ఇచ్చే ఆ డోపైన్ మత్తు కంటే కూడా అంతరాత్మ ఇచ్చే ఒక నాలుగు వార్నింగ్ సైన్స్ ని నమ్మడం చాలా కృషియల్. అవేంటంటే ఆ కారణంగా లోకల ప్రమాదం అని అనిపించిన ఎనర్జీ అంతా డ్రైన్ అయిపోతున్నట్టు ఫీల్ అయినా ఆ అట్రాక్షన్ ఏదో నెగిటివ్ గా అనిపించిన లేదా ఎదుటి వాళ్ళ ప్రవర్తనను క్వశ్చన్ చేయడానికి కూడా భయపడుతున్న డెఫినెట్ గా అది ఒక అలారం లాంటిది.
(05:30) అట్రాక్షన్ ఎంత బలంగా ఉన్నా సరే ఈ నాలుగు సైన్స్ ని మాత్రం ఎప్పుడూ లైట్ తీసుకోకూడదు. సరే ఈ కల్లోలం అంతా సద్దుమణిగాక ఏమవుతుంది? యాక్చువల్లీ అక్కడే అసలైన ప్రశాంతత స్టార్ట్ అవుతుంది. టెన్షన్ పెంచే ఆ డోపమైన్ ప్లేస్ లో బ్రెయిన్ నెమ్మదిగా ఆక్సిటోసిన్ అనే హార్మోన్ ని రిలీజ్ చేయడం మొదలు పెడుతుంది. ఇది ట్రస్ట్ ని స్ట్రాంగ్ బాండింగ్ ని పెంచే హార్మోన్.
(05:52) ఒకరినొకరు పూర్తిగా అర్థం చేసుకున్నప్పుడు మాత్రమే ఈ నిజమైన బంధం క్రియేట్ అవుతుంది. ఇది లైఫ్ కి ఎప్పుడూ పీస్ ని ఇస్తుంది కానీ పానిక్ ని కాదు. కానీ ఇక్కడ ఒక మైండ్ బ్లోయింగ్ క్వశ్చన్ రైజ్ అవుతుంది. అసలు ఈ ఫీలింగ్స్ ఈ కెమికల్ చేంజెస్ ఎక్కడి నుంచి వచ్చాయి. ఇది కేవలం ఇద్దరు వ్యక్తుల మధ్య జరిగే మ్యాజిక్ అనుకుంటే మనం పప్పులో కాలేసినట్టే ఎవల్యూషన్ లో ఒక పెద్ద సీక్రెట్ దాగుంది.
(06:16) దశాబ్దాల రీసెర్చ్ రివీల్ చేసిన ఆ ఎపిక్ ట్విస్ట్ ఏంటో తెలుసా? పెద్దల మధ్య ఉండే ఆ రొమాంటిక్ లవ్ అనేది ఏదో సడన్ గా పుట్టుకొచ్చింది కాదు ఎవల్యూషన్ లో ఒక తల్లికి తన బిడ్డకు మధ్య ఉండే అత్యంత స్వచ్ఛమైన బంధం నుండే ఇది పుట్టింది. అవును బిడ్డను ప్రొటెక్ట్ చేయడానికి నేచర్ డిజైన్ చేసిన అదే ఆక్సిటోసిన్ సిస్టం ని హ్యూమన్ స్పీషీస్ సర్వైవల్ కోసం మన బయాలజీ మళ్ళీ వాడుకుంటుంది.
(06:43) అంటే మనం వెతుకుతున్న ప్రేమకు అసలు బేస్ మనుగడ కోసం ప్రకృతి చేసిన ఒక మాస్టర్ స్ట్రోక్ అన్నమాట. సో ఈ సైంటిఫిక్ ఫాక్ట్స్ అన్నీ తెలుసుకున్నాక ఒక ఇంపార్టెంట్ క్వశ్చన్ మనల్ని మనం అడగాలి. మనం ఎంచుకునే రిలేషన్స్ కేవలం కొన్ని నెలలు మాత్రమే ఉండే ఆ టెంపరరీ డోపైన్ కిక్ కోసం పరుగులు తీస్తున్నాయా లేక గౌరవం విలువల పునాదిపై ఆక్సిటోసిన్ ఇచ్చే ప్రశాంతమైన భవిష్యత్తు వైపు వెళ్తున్నాయా ఆ బ్రమని ఈ వాస్తవాన్ని సెపరేట్ చేసి చూడగలిగినప్పుడే రియాలిటీ అర్థమవుతుంది.
(07:15) ఇది కేవలం ఒక సైన్స్ మిస్టరీ మాత్రమే కాదు అందరి లైఫ్స్ కి కనెక్ట్ అయ్యే విషయం ఈ కెమికల్ గేమ్ గురించి అందరి అభిప్రాయాలను కామెంట్ సెక్షన్ లో చర్చిద్దాం. ఈ వ్యామోహానికి నిజమైన ప్రేమకు మధ్య ఉన్న డిఫరెన్స్ ని ఎవరైనా ఎక్స్పీరియన్స్ చేసి ఉంటే ఆ స్టోరీస్ కూడా షేర్ చేద్దాం. ఈ అద్భుతమైన బంధాల రహస్యాన్ని అందరం కలిసి ఇంకా బాగా అర్థం చేసుకుందాం.
(07:34) మళ్ళీ ఇంకో ఇంట్రెస్టింగ్ విశ్లేషణతో కలుద్దాం. ఈ వీడియో చివరికి వచ్చాను కానీ మన ప్రయాణం ఇప్పుడే మొదలైంది. నేను ఈ ఛానల్ ద్వారా మీకు అందించేది కేవలం సైకాలజీ ఫాక్ట్స్ కాదు. మన మనసుని మన నిర్ణయాన్ని మన సంబంధాన్ని అర్థం చేసుకోవడానికి ఒక స్పష్టమైన దాని. తెలుగులో సైకాలజీ, ఫిలాసఫీ, సెల్ఫ్ గ్రోత్ ఇవన్నీ కలిపి నిజ జీవితంలో ఎలా వాడుకోవాలో ఇక్కడ చెక్ చేస్తాం.
(08:00) ఈ వీడియో మీ మనసులో ఏదైనా ఆలోచన రేపు ఉంటే కింద కామెంట్ చేయండి. మీరు ఏ పాయింట్ ని ఎక్కువగా రిలేట్ అయ్యారు. ఇలాంటి కంటెంట్ రెగ్యులర్ గా కావాలనుకుంటే సబ్స్క్రైబ్ చేసి బెల్ ఐకాన్ నొక్కండి. ఎందుకంటే మన మనసుని అర్థం చేసుకోవడమే జీవితాన్ని మార్చే మొదటి. చూద్దాం తర్వాత వీడియో థాంక్యూ ఫర్ వాచింగ్

(00:05) హాయ్ ఫ్రెండ్స్ ఎలా ఉన్నారు? ఫ్రెండ్స్ వీకెండ్ రాగానే అందరూ పార్టీలు పబ్బులన్నీ తిరుగుతుంటే మనమేమో హాయిగా దుప్పటి ముసుగు తన్ని ఒక వెబ్ సిరీస్ చూడటానికో లేక బుక్ చదవడానికో ఇష్టపడతాం. అప్పుడప్పుడు ఫ్రెండ్ ఫోన్ చేస్తే లేనిపోని సాకులు చెప్పి తప్పించుకుంటాం కదా జనాలు మనల్ని చూసి ఇంట్లోనే ఉంటాడు. వీడికి లోకం తెలియదు అంటారు.
(00:30) కానీ నిజానికి ఇంట్లోనే గడపడానికి ఇష్టపడే వారి వెనుక ఒక అద్భుతమైన సైకాలజీ ఉంది. అదేంటో మనం ఈరోజు ఈ వీడియోలో డిస్కస్ చేసే ప్రయత్నం చేద్దాం. ముందుగా చాలా మంది ఏమనుకుంటారంటే ఇంట్లో ఉండేవాళ్ళు ఇంట్రోవర్ట్స్ అని కానీ అది నిజం కాదు. ఇది కేవలం ఎనర్జీ మేనేజ్మెంట్ కొంతమందికి జనం మధ్య ఉంటే ఎనర్జీ వస్తుంది. కానీ మరి కొంతమందికి జనం మధ్య ఉంటే ఎనర్జీ ఖర్చు అవుతుంది.
(00:56) మనలాంటి వాళ్ళకి ఒక గంట పార్టీలో ఉండటం అంటే ఫోన్ బ్యాటరీ 100% నుంచి 1% కి పడిపోయినట్టు. అందుకే మనం మన ఇంటికి వచ్చి ఆ బ్యాటరీని మళ్ళీ రీఛార్జ్ చేసుకుంటాం. మన ఇల్లే మనకి ఒక ఛార్జింగ్ స్టేషన్ లాంటిది. ఇక బయట ప్రపంచం ఎలా ఉంటుందో మన చేతుల్లో ఉండదు. ట్రాఫిక్ గోల నచ్చని మ్యూజిక్ అవసరం లేని కబుర్లు ఇవన్నీ మన మైండ్ ని డిస్టర్బ్ చేస్తాయి.
(01:24) కానీ అదే మన ఇంట్లో లైటింగ్ ఎంత ఉండాలి మ్యూజిక్ ఏం ప్లే అవ్వాలి ఏ కాఫీ తాగాలి ఎలాంటి తిండి తినాలి అన్నీ మన ఇష్టం. ఈ కంట్రోల్ అనేది ఒక లగ్జరీ ఫీలింగ్ ఇస్తుంది. అంటే మన చుట్టూ ఉండే వాతావరణాన్ని మనమే డిజైన్ చేసుకుంటాం. దీన్నే సైకాలజీలో లాస్ట్ టిములేషన్ ప్రిఫరెన్స్ అంటారు. అంటే ప్రశాంతతలో ఎక్కువ ఆనందాన్ని వెతుక్కోవడం అని అర్థం. ఇక మీరు గమనించారో లేదో ప్రపంచంలో గొప్ప గొప్ప ఐడియాస్ అన్నీ ఒంటరిగా ఉన్నప్పుడే పుట్టాయి. లోకం మొత్తం ఫోమోతో బతుకుతుంది.
(01:55) ఫోమో అంటే ఫియర్ ఆఫ్ మిస్సింగ్ అవుట్ అంటే ఎక్కడో ఏదో జరుగుతోంది. మనం దాన్ని మిస్ అయిపోతున్నామ అన్న టెన్షన్ కానీ హోమ్ బాడీస్ కి ఉండేది జోమో అంటే జాయ్ ఆఫ్ మిస్సింగ్ అవుట్ అంటే బయట ఏం జరిగినా పర్లేదు నేను ఇక్కడ ప్రశాంతంగా ఉన్నాను కదా అన్న తృప్తి. ఈ ప్రశాంతతే మనలో క్రియేటివిటీని పెంచుతుంది. ఇక చివరిగా ఒక ముఖ్యమైన విషయం మనం ఒక చిన్న చెక్ చేసుకోవాలి.
(02:24) మనం ప్రశాంతత కోసం ఇంట్లో ఉంటున్నామా లేక బయటికి వెళ్ళాలంటే భయమేసి ఇంట్లో దాక్కుంటున్నామా ప్రశాంతత కోసం ఉంటే అది మీ బలం అవుతుంది. కానీ భయం వల్ల ఉంటే అది మీరు మార్చుకోవాల్సిన బలహీనత అవుతుంది. ఇల్లనేది మీకుొక హాయినిచ్చే చోటు అవ్వాలి తప్ప మిమ్మల్ని బంధించే జైలు కాకూడదు. సో ఫైనల్ గా ఫ్రెండ్స్ మీరు పార్టీలకు వెళ్ళకుండా ఇంట్లోనే ఉండటం వల్ల మీరు వెనుకబడిపోవడం లేదు.
(02:49) మీరు కేవలం గోలకంటే లోతును ప్రేమిస్తున్నారు. రంగుల ప్రపంచం కంటే ప్రశాంతమైన మీ ప్రపంచంలో మీరు హ్యాపీగా ఉంటే అదే మీ అసలైన సక్సెస్. మీరు కూడా నాలాగా హోమ్ బాడీనా? అయితే కామెంట్ బాక్స్ లో కామెంట్ చేయండి. ఈ పోడ్కాస్ట్ నచ్చితే మీ ఫ్రెండ్స్ అండ్ ఫ్యామిలీ కి షేర్ చేయండి. అలాగే మా ఛానల్ ని సబ్స్క్రైబ్ చేసుకోండి. థాంక్స్ ఫర్ ది లిజనింగ్ గాయ్స్.
(03:10) మరో ఇంట్రెస్టింగ్ వీడియో తో నెక్స్ట్ ఎపిసోడ్ లో కలుద్దాం. అంతవరకు బాయ్ దిస్ ఇస్ నిఖిల్ సైనింగ్ ఆఫ్.

(00:02) వరల్డ్ వార్ 2 జరిగింది. యూరోప్ మొత్తం రక్తం ఏరులే పారింది. ఆ మారణ హోమాన్ని చాలా మంది ప్రశ్నించారు. ఆ నిందని రాజకీయ నాయకులపై బడా బాబులపై వేశారు. బట్ ఒకే ఒక్కడు మాత్రం ఆ హోలోకాస్ట్ కి సోల్జర్స్ ని కూడా బాధితులని చేశాడు. అతనే ఫ్రెంచ్ ఫిలాసఫర్ జీన్ పాల్ శాస్త్రి యుద్ధం ముగిసిన తర్వాత యూరోప్ లో ఒక విచిత్రమైన నిశబ్దం వచ్చింది.
(00:32) అది శాంతి కాదు అది ఒక ప్రశ్న కోట్లాది మంది చనిపోయారు కానీ విచిత్రం ఏంటంటే చంపిన వాళ్ళు కూడా మనుషులే వాళ్ళు ఇంటికి తిరిగి వచ్చారు భార్యా పిల్లల మధ్య కూర్చున్నారు కానీ వాళ్ళ చేతులు రక్తాన్ని మర్చిపోలేకపోయాయి. బట్ ఆ టైంలో కామన్ గా ఒక వాక్యం వినిపించింది. ఇందులో మా తప్పేమ లేదు మేము జస్ట్ ఆర్డర్స్ ఫాలో అయ్యాం మేము కావాలని చంపలేదు అది మా స్వభావం కాదన్నారు.
(00:58) ఈ మాటలు చాలా సౌకర్యంగా ఉంటాయి. ఎందుకంటే ఇది బాధ్యతను బయటికి నెట్టేస్తుంది. నేను కాదు పరిస్థితులు చేశయి నేను కాదు ఆదేశాలు చేశాయి. ఈ మాటలు బాధ్యత నుండి తప్పించుకోవడం లాంటిది. ఈ మాటలు విన్న జీన్ పాల్ శాస్త్రికి బాధేసింది. ఎందుకంటే ఈ మాటలు తప్పు చేసి తప్పించుకోవడం అందుకే అతను అందరికీ అర్థమయ్యేలా ఒక నైఫ్ ఎనాలజీ ఇచ్చాడు.
(01:26) ఒక కత్తిని చేతిలోకి తీసుకో దాన్ని చూడు అది చాలా కూల్ గా ఉంటుంది. ఐరన్ తో తయారు చేయబడి ఉంటుంది. పదునుగా ఉంటుంది. బట్ దానికి ఒక స్పష్టమైన ఉద్దేశం ఉంది. అదే కోయడం అందిన వరకు కోయడం ఆ కోసే ఉద్దేశమే దాన్ని కత్తిగా చేసింది లేకుంటే అదిఒక మామూలు మెట్ల అయ్యేది. ఇప్పుడు కత్తిని తయారు చేసిన కమ్మరి దగ్గరకు వద్దాం. అతని చేతిలో ఐరన్ ఉన్నప్పుడు ఆ ఐరన్ ని ఇంకా గాయం చేయకముందు కత్తిగా మార్చక ముందు ఆ కమ్మరి మనసులో ఒక ఆలోచన ఉంది.
(02:01) ఆ ఆలోచన కొయ్యాలి అనే ఆలోచన ఆ కొయ్యాలి అనే ఆలోచన ముందు పుట్టి తర్వాత కత్తి పుడుతుంది. అంటే ఇక్కడ ఒక కత్తి పుట్టడాని కంటే ముందే దాని స్వభావం ఏంటో ముందే నిర్ణయించబడింది. దట్ మీన్స్ కత్తి యొక్క స్వభావం దాని ఉనికి కంటే ముందే ఉంది. ఇప్పుడు శాస్త్రి అడిగిన ప్రశ్న ఏంటంటే మనిషి కూడా ఒక కత్తిలాగా పుట్టాడా మనిషి కత్తి ఒకటేనా మనిషి పుట్టడాని కంటే ముందే మరొక మనిషిని చంపాలి అనే స్వభావంతో పుట్టాడా 100% కాదు ఎందుకంటే మనిషి కత్తి ఎప్పటికీ ఒకటి కాదు కత్తి తనంతట తనకి కోసే స్వభావం ఉండదు అది ఎవరో ఇచ్చిన స్వభావం ఎవరో చేసిన పని కానీ మనిషి అలా కాదు అతను ముందే డిజైన్ అయి రాలేదు అతను ముందుగా
(02:47) ఉన్నాడు అంటే ముందు ఎగ్జిస్టెన్స్ అయ్యి తర్వాత మాత్రమే తనను తాను ఎసెన్స్ గా మార్చుకుంటాడు. ఇక్కడ మీకు ఇంకో ఫిలాసఫీ చెప్పాలి ఎందుకంటే శాస్త్రి అర్థం కావాలంటే అతను ఎవరిపై తిరగబడ్డాడో అర్థమైతేనే అతను ఏం చెప్పాడో పూర్తిగా అర్థంవుతుంది. చాలా ఏళ్ల క్రితం అరిస్టాటిల్ ఏమన్నాడంటే ప్రతి వస్తువుకి ప్రతి జీవికి ఒక టెలాస్ ఉంటుంది.
(03:14) అంటే ఒక అల్టిమేట్ లక్ష్యం ఒక స్వభావం ఒక పర్పస్ ఉంటుంది. ఒక విత్తనం తన స్వభావాన్ని బట్టి చెట్ట అవుతుంది. కళ్ళు తమ స్వభావాన్ని బట్టి చూస్తాయి. సేమ్ మనిషి కూడా తన స్వభావాన్ని బట్టి ఒక రేషనల్ అనిమల్ హేతుబద్ధమైన జంతువు నేచర్ లో ప్రతిదీ ఇప్పటికే నిర్ణయించబడి ఉంది. సో మనం చేయాల్సింది ఒక్కటే ఆ స్వభావాన్ని పూర్తిగా వ్యక్తపరచడం సింపుల్ గా చెప్పాలంటే నువ్వు ఏమవ్వాలో ఆల్రెడీ నిర్ణయించబడి ఉందని అరిస్టాటిల్ అంటాడు.
(03:51) కానీ శాస్త్రే అదేం కాదు ఏది నిర్ణయించబడలేదు నువ్వే నిర్ణయించుకోవాలి నువ్వు నిర్ణయించబడే కత్తి కాదు నువ్వు ఏమవ్వాలో నిర్ణయించుకోవాల్సిన మనిషివి నిన్ను ఎవ్వరూ కత్తిలా ఒక పర్పస్ కోసం తయారు చేయరు నువ్వు ఏమవ్వాలో నిర్ణయించుకొని ఎంపిక చేసుకునే శక్తి పూర్తిగా నీకే ఉంది అంటాడు. కానీ ఇక్కడ సోల్జర్స్ ఒక ప్రశ్న అడిగారు. నేను ఆర్డర్స్ ఫాలో కాకపోతే పై అధికారులు నన్ను చంపుతారు లేదా నా శత్రువే నన్ను చంపుతాడు.
(04:18) సో ఇక్కడ నాకు ఎంపిక లేదు జస్ట్ ఆర్డర్స్ ఫాలో అయ్యాను అంతే బట్ చంపే స్వభావం నాది కాదన్నారు. ఈ మాటలు వినగానే చాలా లాజికల్ గా అనిపిస్తుంది. కానీ శాస్త్రి ఇక్కడే ఒక కత్తి లాంటి ప్రశ్న వేస్తాడు. మీకు చంపే అవకాశం బదులు చనిపోయే అవకాశం లేదా అన్నాడు. ఖచ్చితంగా ఉంది. చనిపోవడం అనేది ఒక ఆప్షన్ గా అక్కడ ఉంది.
(04:43) ఇంకా చెప్పాలంటే చావు భయంతో చంపి నాకు ఎంపిక లేదు అనడం నీ ఎంపికను ఆడ్రెస్ వెనక దాచి పెట్టడం లాంటిది. ఎందుకంటే నా ప్రాణం కాపాడుకోవడానికి నా శత్రువుని చంపాలి అనుకోవడం ఒక స్పష్టమైన ఎంపిక. ఇది కొంచెం గందరగోళంగా ఉండొచ్చు ఇప్పుడు ఇంకా క్లియర్ గా స్పష్టంగా చెప్తాను. ఒక వారిలో ఉన్న సైనికుడికి ఆ టైంలో ఉన్న ఆప్షన్స్ ఏంటి చంపొచ్చు చంపడాన్ని తిరస్కరించవచ్చు పారిపోవచ్చు లొంగిపోవచ్చు లేదా చనిపోవచ్చు ఇవన్నీ కాన్సిక్వెన్సెస్ తో కూడిన ఆప్షన్స్ కానీ ఆప్షన్స్ లేవు అనడం ఒక స్పష్టమైన మోసం ఇక్కడ శాస్త్రీయ సైనికుడిని క్రూరంగా జడ్జ్ చేస్తున్నాడా 100% కాదు ఎందుకంటే శాస్త్రే కోరుకునేది
(05:30) ఒక్కటే సైనికుడు ఎంపిక లేదుని అని చెప్పొద్దు. చూస్ చేసుకోలేకపోవడానికి నువ్వు తయారు చేసిన గతి కాదు నువ్వు ఒక ఎంపిక చేసుకునే మనిషివి. సో శాస్త్రీయ సైనికుడి నుండి ఏం ఆశిస్తున్నాడు? ఒక సైనికుడు ఏం చెప్పాలంటే నేను చనిపోవడానికి భయపడి నేను నా శత్రువుని చంపాను. ఇది పూర్తిగా నా నిర్ణయం దీనికి నేనే బాధ్యున్ని ఇది చాలా కష్టమైన మాట కానీ ఇది నిజాయితి బట్ ఆడ్రస్ వల్ల చంపాను అనడం నిజాయితి కాదు అది పిరికితనం ఇంకా చెప్పాలంటే మోరల్ పిరికితనం ఇప్పుడు అసలు ప్రశ్నకు వద్దాం ఇక్కడ సైనికుడు తప్పా ఒప్పా శాస్త్రీయ తప్పుల కంటే నీకు బాధ్యత
(06:12) ఉందా లేదా అనేది ముఖ్యం అన్నాడు. చంపడం తప్పా ఉప్పా అనేది పర్టికులర్ కాంటెక్స్ట్ వార్ ఎథిక్స్ జస్ట్ వార్ థియరీలోకి వస్తుంది. కానీ నాకు ఎంపిక లేదు అనడం మాత్రం ఎప్పుడు ఎవరికీ ఏ సిచువేషన్ లోనూ నిజం కాదన్నాడు. ఇప్పుడు ఈ ఫిలాసఫీని నీ లైఫ్ కి అప్లై చేసుకో నీకు నిజంగా ఎంపిక లేదా
🌱 *పిల్లల పెంపకం గురించి ఒక ముఖ్యమైన ఆలోచన* పిల్లాడు తప్పు చేస్తే శిక్షించడం, మంచి చేస్తే బహుమతి ఇవ్వడం సాధారణంగా కనిపిస్తుంది. కానీ ఇలా చేస్తే పిల్లవాడు ఒక విషయం నేర్చుకుంటాడు — 👉 “బహుమతి కోసం మంచిగా ఉండాలి” 👉 “శిక్ష భయం వల్ల తప్పు చేయకూడదు” అంటే, అతను మంచిని మనసు నుండి కాదు, లాభం కోసం మాత్రమే చేస్తాడు. ✨ నిజమైన మంచితనం అంటే: 👉 ఎవరూ చూడకపోయినా మంచి చేయడం 👉 బహుమతి లేకపోయినా సరిగా ప్రవర్తించడం 🌿 *కాబట్టి పిల్లలకు ఇలా నేర్పుదాం:* 👉 “ఇది సరైనది కాబట్టి చేయాలి” 👉 “ఇది తప్పు కాబట్టి చేయకూడదు” బహుమతులు కాదు… మంచి విలువలు (values) నేర్పితేనే జీవితాంతం మంచి మార్గంలో నడుస్తారు 🙏

Transcript:
(00:00) Now what if I tell you that tea is not Indian? >> What are you saying? >> Yeah, tea is not Indian at all. Tea is a forcefed most disliked invention by the British. The tea that the British wanted was never even meant for the Indians. After they export all these high-end cream of the crop sort of tea, they were left with a lot of tea dust.
(00:20) Basically sweepings of whatever was left over. They started selling that to India. Masala chai was what we had done to be at least able to consume it because we hated tea. It was bitter for us. So we added all the masala that we had. So that is eventually how masala chai came into existence. If you look at things today in the Indian kitchen in terms of what we consume, I don't think anything that we deserve to be in the Indian kitchen.
(00:42) What do you think is the most famous vegetable when you speak of an Indian kitchen? >> Aloo. >> Aloo is not even Indian. It was force-fed to us. We thought it was tasteless. It was bland. Now think about carrots. Carrots are not Indian. Carrots came from Portugal. If you talk about spice, we Indians love spicy food, right? >> Yeah.
(00:58) What do you put in whatever you cook that makes it spicy? >> Chilies. >> So what if I tell you chili is not Indian? >> I won't believe that. >> It is a fact. The reason for Portuguese to come into India was pepper. Because pepper was considered to be black gold. Rome was bankrupt because of what India used to export to them. >> Roman got bankrupt because of pepper.
(01:14) >> Pepper. Exploring lost history on his motorbike. Mr. Krishna Chaitananya Karnam is a history explorer and storyteller from South India who left his corporate life to go on a journey of uncovering India's lost and misinterpreted past inspired early on by a transformative visit to Hampy. >> So basically British is responsible to make us the diabetes capital of the world and the reason was because they wanted to now where do you think chicken tikka masala comes from? Do you know that it is the national dish of the Britain?
(01:47) >> No. >> It was an invention made from leftover pieces of chicken tikka. So what did Indians eat? >> So what we ate were primarily we never had Sundays. We took a break when we needed to. And the reason it was decided that Sunday is going to be the day where everything will rest is because British predominantly a Christian society had religious things to do on Sundays.
(02:08) What is the most traditional attire that Indian women can wear? >> Saris. If you go back in time, there was no culture of women wearing blouse and it was invented because the colonizers felt that we were lewd and there was a lot of skin show and women. Have you ever wondered why is my school uniform like this or why is it this color? >> His work brings forgotten stories back to life and invites others to see how India has shaped the world and how the world has shaped India.
(02:35) It is with great excitement that we welcome Mr. Krishna Chaitananya Karnam to the body tobeing podcast. What do you think of Jim Khanas? >> Jim kanas. >> So basically these were called as gained kanas. Gain meaning ball. So this was where the military units were posted. The troops set it themselves and they used these to play games.
(02:52) Now that eventually transformed into gym kanas because the British could not pronounce gent right >> and because they assumed that. So that again resulted into the club culture like enrolling in a club. We were a very open society right now. We speak so much about lost history without knowing the actual reason that British even came to India.
(03:14) If somebody had asked me this question, I would have said to rule over India or to conquer India. But the funniest of the facts is they never came to India with the intention to rule over Indians at all. Did you know that chai or tea isn't even originally Indian or that the gin and the tonic was actually a medicine for malaria and that famous gulab jamun and jalibbe is actually Persian? like this.
(03:39) There are many things that we have long believed to be Indian but are actually not. And conversely, there are many Indian icons that are now celebrated as national favorites of other countries such as the chicken tikka masala is considered as a national dish of the United Kingdom and the very famous Kapuri Chapel that has been rebranded by Prada.
(04:00) We are going to be diving into all of this and lot more in today's fun episode on the lost history of India. So stay tuned and if you think our content adds value do consider subscribing. You can now also listen to our master classes on Spotify. Follow body to being and stay tuned for more exciting master classes. So what are some of the common things that we think are Indian but are actually not? And I'm going to start with food.
(04:26) I came across this very interesting insight which said that jalabi is not even Indian. It was actually zalabia which comes from Persia. Biryani is mughal. And then there's gulab jamun which is again from Persia. Sam samosa was sambosa >> from the middle east. >> Right. >> Tell me about this. Very fascinating. >> If you look at things today in the Indian kitchen in terms of what we consume today, I don't think anything that we eat today where we are too happy about calling Indian deserve to be in the Indian kitchen in the first place.
(04:52) There was a study that was done in 2024 and 25 and this was a branch of the United Nations. They said, "What do you think is the most consumed drink or beverage in the world today?" >> Should I guess? >> Yeah, guess guess. >> Coffee or tea? >> Tea is what made it to the cut. So, tea is the most consumed beverage in according to the study that they did.
(05:14) And we're not counting the bottled water and the sugar drinks. These are kept away. Those are not included in the part of the survey. >> Right >> now, what if I tell you that tea is not Indian? >> What are you saying? >> Yeah, tea is not Indian at all. For a nation that never had tea as a part of its culture, what do you think about consuming 15,000 cups of chai every second? >> India consumes 15,000 cups of chai every second.
(05:35) >> Yes. Every second. >> Wow. >> Tell me a time that you will not get tea in India. >> India runs on chai is a famous tagline of a startup. Yeah. So you tell me that you go to a railway station. Now tea is a forcefed most disliked invention by the British that came to India and there were wars that the British had to undertake for this to happen.
(06:06) >> There were wars because of tea. >> Yes. And British manifested these wars. These were not natural wars that happened. And there was a huge drug trafficking episode that the British had to undertake against China for bringing tea to India. Not because they loved us, not because they wanted to give us something great or a culture.
(06:25) They stripped us of the culture if not anything. What they wanted to do was they were finding out ways where they can make money off Indians in every possible way. And tea happened to be the most beneficial way for them for two reasons. One, we were high on population. So if something like tea can be marketed to every household, marketed, mind that word marketed.
(06:46) If that can be marketed to every household in India, they can make money off it. Number one, plus British was already addicted to tea. And British never knew that tea existed until a Portuguese princess was married to a British king and she got a casket of tea as dowi. So until then the British thought tea was only for medicinal purposes and that changed the whole process and they looked at where can they find tea.
(07:11) The obvious answer was China because China has closed down everything for everybody. There was only one port where you could trade with China back in the day. They didn't let you go to the interiors of China. There was no trade if you're not dealing with that one port. Now British had to figure out a way.
(07:27) British figured that opium, the drug, could be the entry point to smuggle tea to make sure that Chinese depended on them for this entire episode to unfold. >> There's another statistic which says that uh until 1830 the consumption of tea was close to zero in India. Correct. Is that true? >> Yeah, that is true. The tea that the British wanted was never even meant for the Indians.
(07:51) It was only for to satisfy the deficit that they had in terms of tea back in great They were moderated. Okay. Right. So, but but where could they get the tea? They could only get it from China. But Indians never had a culture. We were more of satu. We were more of tandai. We were more of char lassi. >> So, that is what we consumed instead of tea.
(08:07) >> Yeah. The kanji, the fermented drink. So, we shiki or shikanji. I shikji. Right. So, I think these were what we had. Now, if they eliminated all of these and if they sold tea to us, imagine the amount of money they could make. That was the whole idea behind this. But they didn't have money to buy tea from China because the British currency chest was empty.
(08:29) And China wouldn't take anything apart from silver from the British. Now British didn't have any silver. So then they engineered a plan. The plan was get China addicted to a drug called opium because it was rampant back in the day. There was enough audience for people to consume opium. So now that became almost an endemic kind of thing where everybody were addicted to opium.
(08:51) China was hooked to opium at some point in time. But why would British do that? Because they smuggled opium into China, get the silver, now use the same silver to buy tea from China. Now they had a lot of tea and this went on for years and this resulted in two wars called the opium wars. Now as a part of this whole equation and the war scenario that was going on, British also took Hong Kong from China.
(09:15) >> Aa >> until then Hong Kong was a part of China. >> Now that is when Hong Kong became a British colony. Ah >> right. So this whole mayhem was to get tea and what did they do with so much tea? They sent it back to Great Britain because there was humongous amounts of demand for tea >> right the British culture.
(09:36) >> Now tea back in the day the British used hot water to soak these tea leaves which makes that black tea kind of liquid. M >> now if they added sweetened cream or milk to consume that now I'm talking about a time when Indians didn't even know tea existed forget about being a part of the culture we didn't even know tea existed >> as recent as 1830 I'm assuming yeah >> so all the tea that the British got they were happily exporting it to the Great Britain they were making money off of it while China was getting weaker and
(10:07) weaker because of these opium addiction now finally they cracked this open they were able to do it now there was one situation where the British realized ized that grow tea plants. >> Huh. >> During some expedition that somebody the local Maharaja took somebody on a tour he figured out that Assam had tea plants.
(10:29) There were certain tribes which are using the same family of tea to make a medicinal drink but it was not a practice. They were not doing it every day but it was a ritual kind of thing or a medicinal drink. Now then they figured that why do we need China now? So then they cleared all the lands. They cleared all the forests.
(10:47) They cut down a decent amount of forest lands just to be able to grow the tea. So now finally India had tea plants that were growing tea. >> Ah >> but was it good? >> Ah right >> that's the question. >> Yes. >> But they didn't know that it tasted like that. They found it was horrible. Right. >> In comparison to the Chinese. >> In comparison to the Chinese.
(11:07) And because we didn't get the technique right. The plants that they smuggled from China did not survive in India. So there was a whole lot of confusion that was going on. Finally they figured out a way and they started growing tea. The tea that they sent back to the Great Britain was an utter failure. They didn't like it a bit.
(11:25) So while the opium thing was continuing with China, they were getting tea from China. They also started mastering the process of growing these in regions of Assam mostly in the northeast. So once we had enough tea, finally we got it right and now the Indian tea officially made it to the Great Britain and it was a big hit.
(11:42) Now, now everybody is in love with Indian tea. Now, if you look at all the elliptins, all the names that we can recognize, right? These are all British brands who were exporting tea from India back to the Great Britain. The British were still not satisfied. They said, "If this is happening, if I sell it to India, everybody in India, imagine everybody in India consuming tea and if we are able to charge money for that, what would happen to the British currency chest? It would be full again.
(12:07) It would be overflowing considering the population that we had back then." Now this is when again what they did was after they export all these high-end cream of the crop sort of tea they were left with a lot of tea dust basically sweepings of whatever was left over now they started selling that to India. >> Oh >> like things that you would otherwise throw away >> in the form of tea >> in the form of tea tea dust but how did they get into the Indian households is the most interesting marketing campaign of the century. So you remember those
(12:38) old uh days in ' 90s when people had come to your house, demonstrated a product and sold you a product. That's exactly what the British had done in the regions of Tamil Nadu. There's a region called Karakuri in Tamil Nadu. So that is where their target was to get 200 households >> get used to this process of making tea.
(12:56) They demonstrated making tea in the kitchens. That is how they started. Railway station railway station and tea are almost inseparable. This was a British concept because the British when they started railways they started setting up stalls in the railway stations because it is that is where people are accumulated and free samples free samples of tea that was being sold and promoted to to spread this and get it into the households.
(13:25) >> Okay. >> Right. Until we got addicted to it. But did we get addicted to it or did we even like it? No. In spite of all this, Indians never liked tea. >> And some families even said that the British were addicting their children to tea. There are actually references of people say that mira but when the moment he started having tea, he started acting weird over the last few days.
(13:53) These were typical references of families. And what are the varieties of tea that you can think of in India? Chai is not a chai anymore. Right? today chai varieties chai gur chai masala chai yeah >> masala chai that's that's the most interesting thing that you hear about and if you go to regions in Maharashtra and specifically in Goa when you see these westerners come to India and ask them what they would need they would have this weirdly spelt out saying masala chai right >> a lot of foreigners say chai though >> chai and then if you look at people who
(14:23) in Goa specifically right if they ask what do they want they say one masala chai with with a typical accent that they have But masala chai was what we had done to be at least able to take it and consume it >> because we hated tea. It was bitter for us. Indians hated tea. The way we at least made it consumable was by adding all the masalas that we had and boiling it.
(14:50) The British begged Indians not to boil tea leaves, right? They said this is not how you are supposed to consume tea. But we knew no better. So we started boiling this tea dust which was already the lowest quality that we had. When you boil that what happens? It becomes truly truly bitter. >> Yeah. >> Now when you have that bitter concoction now how do you make it consumable? >> Yeah.
(15:09) >> So what we did was we added all the masala that we had. >> So that is eventually how masala chai came into existence. >> Right. But now if you tell somebody who is a fan of masala chai, you tell him that this is the origin story, he would not believe you. Right? So this is the whole tea episode that we have and how many of us even know about it even before we consume that cup of tea including the the very good tea that you served me today.
(15:36) None of us you what do you think is the most famous vegetable that you can think of when you speak of an Indian kitchen? >> Aloo. Aloo, right? It's ask anybody from a six-year-old to a 60-year-old. Ask them what would they want to have. It's it's almost always aloo, right? And think about all the comfort food that we engage in or indulge in.
(15:54) It has always been aloo. >> Yeah. >> But aloo is not even Indian. It was force-fed to us. And what if I tell you that none of the Indians had a pallet for potatoes. We thought it was tasteless. It was bland. And more than anything, it's it's not even Indian. And it was only introduced by the Portuguese.
(16:12) And it was promoted as a crop which was easy to grow as a cash crop which can be sold easily in the markets. Plus the British actually popularized it unlike the Portuguese. The Portuguese just got the potatoes and then you see any of the cuisines today from south to the north to east to west. There is nothing that can be made without a potato.
(16:29) >> Yeah. North India will die hungry without potatoes. >> And and South India is getting there. So so we're not very far. Right. So if you if you look at it, you take your uh pauhaji, it has aloo in it. You have vada pav right that that Mumbai would go crazy with that right and if you look at what it is called in the Portuguese potato is actually called as bata.
(16:49) We have been arguing that bata vada is very Maharashtra. >> Yeah >> like we invented it but we did not. >> And you know about potatoes uh I also uh was reading somewhere that we are the second largest producers of potatoes globally. >> Right. Because of the consumption most of it gets consumed here also. >> And like you said come to think of it wasn't even grown in India. Correct.
(17:09) And it was force-fed to Indians. I can't imagine that India had a phase when people did not like potatoes. >> Yeah. >> Now think about carrots. >> Carrots are not Indian. >> Carrots came from Portuguese. At least not the orange ones. We had you must have heard about the the fermented drink called kanji or kanji that we talk about, right? >> So those were primarily made with black carrots or dark purple carrots.
(17:32) >> Black carrots. >> Black and dark purple which which almost look muddy in color. They are just plugged out of mud. It it seems like that and this was what we had and this was also not indigenous to India. We did not have carrots. We we never had carrots. They were always an influence from other countries.
(17:49) And the orange has a very fascinating story because it they say the Dutch wanted to honor their house of orange which is a a colonial building back in the Netherlands. Now they wanted orange carrots. So they figured out techniques where they can make orange carrots or they can grow orange carrots. Now here is the funniest thing that I find.
(18:07) If you talk about spice, food is supposed to be spicy. We we Indians love spicy food, right? >> Yeah. >> How do we get the spice? What do you put in whatever you cook that makes it spicy? Typically, typically chilies. >> Chilies, right? >> So, what if I tell you chili is not Indian? >> I won't believe that. >> It is a fact.
(18:25) And there's an interesting story behind that. Why do you think chili is not Indian? Is an even fascinating story because think about it. Any western cooking show, any cooking show for that matter, right? You have these huge uh tools for the lack of a better word that you use to season your salt and pepper, right? And it seems so fancy.
(18:41) You look at a British chef doing it like somebody like Jamie Oliver doing it. You feel like cooking when you look at that, right? And you look at salt and pepper, most of the children that I speak to today say that pepper is not from India. It must have been from the British. Looking at these shows and the Master Chef and all those cultural influences that we have, if you look at people today, children today specifically, you ask them where is this? This is how the the chef on the British show does it.
(19:05) >> I've had experiences like that. But you ask them, do you find it spicy? >> Correct. >> But what if I tell you we did not even have chili and it is a Portuguese invention and the reason they got it is even interesting. The reason for Portuguese to come into India was pepper because pepper was considered to be black gold at some point in time.
(19:27) The pepper corns that we have. So that was considered as black gold at some point in time and there are mentions in Roman books and Roman scriptures and Roman historical references that Rome was almost bankrupt because of what India used to export to them and a huge chunk of these exploitation happened in terms of where people exported pepper.
(19:49) >> Roman got bankrupt because of pepper. >> Yes. Pepper, porcelain, silk, cotton, right? And it almost became an addiction of sorts where everybody wanted anything from India and primarily pepper and it was used for paying dowies and rents. >> Yeah, I heard that it was a dowies and currency for rents. Yes. >> Currency and even rent if you had to.
(20:10) Yeah. In >> Europe. Yeah. >> And it is insane. Now, do we even know that pepper is Indian and it was systematically dismantled because why Portuguese wanted all the pepper to themselves. If Indians start consuming pepper like they always did in the past, they felt that it was a shortage for them to export it back to Portugal because they even wanted what Indians were having so that nothing gets consumed here and everything that you have ever produced in India goes back to Portugal. So what would the Indians eat?
(20:41) That's when they brought in the chilies. >> Oh. >> So we eat the green chili and we send all the pepper out. And there's an almost forgotten like pepper which is called as pipley or pipley right it's it's >> hugely ayurvedic >> hugely ayurvedic today but it was mainstream back in the day now today it is only looked at as medicinal or I mean I came to know about it a year ago maybe >> and I didn't even know that something like that existed forget about the children today now this had similar properties to pepper but it is slightly
(21:11) different so pepper gives you that instant punch that you need gives you that long it takes a little longer to hit you a slow building spice that it builds it's it leaves a long-lasting effect also so if you look at these which were primarily the spice providers of the Indian kitchen do we use them every day forget about using them on let's say when you scramble your eggs maybe you will use them >> but nothing apart from that >> correct >> what what about the west that's the only form of spice they use >> and what have we lost a huge amount of
(21:44) treasure like this >> yes >> what have we got in things that never mattered that were never ours and I doubt if they actually give you the nutrition that you need. >> Correct. And just to add to that, you know, in the yogic sciences, yogic sciences would be some 15,000 years old. Foods are classified as positive pranic, negative pranic and zero pranic.
(22:02) Positive pranics are those foods which add to the prana the life energy. Negative are those which take away from the prana and zero is they neither add nor do they take away from the prana. >> Correct? >> From what you've told me, it is very uncanny that aloo or potatoes come in the zero pran category.
(22:15) They don't add to the life prana. They don't take away from the life prana. If you consume them in excess, they give you lage or tamas. If you look at black pepper, black pepper is highly positive pranic. Correct? And chilies are highly negative panic. They're rajasic. If you have chilies, there's frustration.
(22:31) So yogis don't have chilies. They have satic food. They'll have black pepper. So you know our country which is steeped into spirituality. I think food choices were so conscious what you would cultivate, how you would cultivate. So that it wasn't just physically and mentally uplifting you but it was also enhancing spiritual receptivity.
(22:46) >> I mean here is something which will shock you even further. Tomato or tomatoes are not Indian. Before you walk away let me tell you it's a fact. We never had tomatoes. My mom would probably slap me if I say this to her but it's a fact. It was an import. We didn't have tomatoes. The nature of food that we consumed back in the day was quite different.
(23:07) And for that matter da which is coriander that is not Indian too which you cannot imagine anything at all today in the kitchen without coriander. >> Correct. >> What do you think about bread? >> I would say it perhaps is not ours. >> So bread is definitely not ours but we did have some versions of bread I'm sure. Right.
(23:22) So we were yeah roti and fulkas were we were primarily a flat bread society. >> Okay. >> That is something that we consume. >> Yeah. >> Now you talk about these milk bread this bread that bread pav is not Indian by the way. Oh, >> right. When the Portuguese came to Goa, they were missing home and they wanted something that reminded them of home.
(23:42) Now, that is when they started growing this in Goa. Now, let me let me throw something interesting at you. >> Now, if they had this pow already in Goa, right now the Portuguese were enjoying their pav. The locals got used to it. Now, certain bakers from Goa took this to Mumbai. You combine that with the vada culture that you see today.
(24:00) Now, these are all the things that may have contributed to that trend. Now if you go to Mumbai and tell somebody that vada pao is not from Maharashtra right you you can only imagine what could happen right so this is a lot of things that we don't even know >> vapo kima pow >> nothing here is something that I find interesting about vada pao pau is not ours >> the potato that's used is not ours the chili that's that makes a primary ingredient and a side to vada pav that you have that's not Indian right it it it beats me I don't understand how we
(24:29) came about >> and vada is a staple of >> it's a staple of right and it it is an exotic dish down south. South has never been used to the vada culture >> now. It is something that we fancy about right. Soapha Maharashtra Maharashtra and you see how people boarding the train and just taking it all the way along while on from a moving train. Right. So that is fascinating.
(24:54) >> Yeah. >> Now it it is all an engineered concept. >> Oh shocking. >> Now where do you think chicken tikka masala comes from? >> India. >> Okay. And do you know that it is called as the national dish of the Britain? >> No. >> It was an invention made from leftover pieces of chicken tikka by somebody who migrated to the UK.
(25:14) He had guests who had come late in the night and he just didn't know how to feed them. So he put the leftover chicken tikka masala had like a gravy that was made out of and then he mixed both and there you get chicken tikka masala. >> Wow. >> Right. The first time I heard this, I thought somebody was trying to prank me because how can chicken tikka masala where everybody is craving and we think that it is so authentically Indian turns out it is not.
(25:36) >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And think about anything from cashews for example. So cashews are not even Indian. Cashews never entered India because people wanted to eat them. They entered as a protective plant or a tree that could protect the soil from erosion. primarily in the Konkan coastline if you look at it there was a lot of soil erosion happening because the beaches and all it's the complete coastline right so if you look at the coastline there is a lot of soil erosion which is very difficult for the Portuguese to cope with now they
(26:04) approached plants which were imported from Brazil which were the cashew plants because they had roots which can absorb a lot of water hold even in the coastal region so the only reason cashews even came was because Portuguese thought that they needed a a tree to protect the soil and we didn't even know that we could eat them.
(26:23) And their only interest was the cashew apple which is used to make fenny. And we still use that today. And it only took people decades to figure out that we can even eat cashew because the outer casing has a lot of weird taste and it has got some acidic substance which is all which is almost considered as poison and it leaves marks on your skin if it touches your skin and and it was we didn't even like it.
(26:44) And today you think of anything that is made in restaurants from a comfort food to the base of a gravy or a base of a curry that restaurants make cashew paste is included in that >> and you talk about cauliflower cabbage these are all introduced by the British. >> Oh cauliflower cabbage does not exist in India. >> No.
(27:02) >> So what did Indians eat? >> So what we ate were primarily all the boring stuff that we have in the kitchen. Anything that a kid cries to eat today is what we had. We talk about ridge god. We had uh things like kella. We had wild yam tubers. Most of the tubers that we have and anything to do with nutritional food that originates or has some reference of ayurvea you think about it today has mentions of these tubers and ridges.
(27:29) Loi for example, right? And and we are thoroughly encouraged to have foods like that which is what we already had. M >> now what ruined that was all the potatoes and carrots and cauliflower and cabbage which do not have any nutritional value per se >> but I think it was introduced because the westerners or the colonizers who came to India they found it suitable for their pallet number one and I'll give you a funny example if you look at the black carrots >> the way they were systematically erased and the reason they were systematically
(27:55) erased >> they're extinct right they're extinct they're extinct >> and the reason they were they became extinct is is because British did not encourage because it made their soups and stew do look muddy. It was not very visually appealing. They got rid of that. And eventually the orange carrots made way.
(28:11) And here is the most fun aspect. Mutar is not Indian. >> Peas. >> Peas. The green peas that we talk about, they're not Indian. And even worse, peanuts are not Indian. Right. So now you look at it the moment you enter into a kitchen today. I mean, I think post this episode, a lot of people will not be able to look at their kitchen the same way.
(28:29) >> True. That >> S is not Indian. Jira is not Indian. Right. Cinnamon, the sweet cinnamon that we get today primary, they're they're grown in India today. Agreed. But they're they're not indigenous to India. >> Cinnamon is from Sri Lanka, right? And then you look at cloves. Cloves are not Indian. Cardamom was very Indian.
(28:50) It was indigenous to India. The green cardamom that we talk about that is Indian. Amla was Indian. Then you have lemon is the hybrid version of lime which is there in India. >> We didn't even have lemons. >> No, we had lime though. life is very indigenous to India and it is there is a funny funny episode or story if you have to look at it that way you know that the Britishers and the colonizers took a lot from us >> right and lime happens to be one of them and it has a very interesting reason they did that and it is also believed
(29:19) that sailors in the British regime were called as limeies it's a very British term right it's l i m e y you call somebody who is a sailor limey right and the reason for that is they made sure They stole in a way for the lack of a better word the lime that we had because they were developing vitamin C deficiencies on the sea.
(29:40) I mean this used to sail for a long period of time. When you sail for a long period of time, a deficiency in a vitamin like C could lead to a lot of issues like bleeding gums, your teeth get ruined. You I mean your body cannot cope with a vitamin deficiency like C. M. >> So they had to find an alternative and the lime that we had made it to the seas and it was a savior at some point in time to get their intake of vitamin C from the seas.
(30:05) Right? Now if you come to think of it today now what are we eating versus what did we have? >> Yeah. >> There's a huge gap. >> True. >> Right. Where is amla? I wonder sometimes we speak about an apple a day keeps a doctor away. Right. But where is the amla? >> Yeah. Again you will have uh some idea about this because if you typically look at the ABC juice >> yeah which >> which is supposed to be apple beetroot carrot essentially >> but amla I think could have made into apple is what I personally feel >> you're absolutely right because an
(30:31) ayurveic doctor actually told me that it is originally amla beetroot and carrot and it's the westerners who said k it's apple beetroot and carrot >> there you go so come to think of it what did we lose and and to start with the apples that they had was not supposed to be consumed as a fruit the apples that they used were typically used for cooking to make an apple pie later versions of apples which were brought in by somebody from the US the United States of America.
(30:57) Now he started this whole culture of apple plantations around Shimla Himachel in the modern day that's when you get the sweet variants of apple. That's when the whole industry about apple came about and then the British obviously developed it later. They made it an industrial machine kind of thing. >> Yeah.
(31:13) Because when you think of apples in India it's usually >> Kashmir Ladak. I've seen some apples in Ladak in that entire belt. >> Himach correct. And the person who actually got uh these apples >> married somebody from India and he changed his name to an Indian name >> and he started wearing Indian clothes and he was a part of the freedom struggle they say.
(31:30) >> We've spoken about apples. Tell me about fruits. Uh because I believe there were about thousand plus varieties of mangoes. There were about 100 plus varieties of citrus fruits. Yes. >> So uh what has happened to all of those? >> There are a lot of fruits that we know of today.
(31:45) In terms of wild varieties of mangoes, we always had them. They were indigenous to India, right? So we did have a lot of indigenous fruits. We did have a lot of wild berries that are probably extinct today. And there are some variants that still exist in certain part of rural regions. If you look at fruits like pineapple, they are introduced to us by Portuguese.
(32:05) So we never had pineapple. Papaya for that matter, which is supposedly the healthiest diets today. Yeah. >> Is from the Central America. And if you look at interesting story about pineapple is it is called as anas. >> Yeah. >> In Portuguese it is called as ananas. >> Yeah. We we call it ananas in many parts of >> in many parts of India. Right.
(32:24) So so it still has that literal translation that that goes on. And if you look at mangoes for that matter which is the most indigenous fruit that we have ever had about 200 plus variants which are all the wild varieties. But if you look at the most popular version of of mango, if if you had to answer the most popular variant in India, what would you think is the most? >> The most expensive maybe would be the Alfonso.
(32:47) >> The Alfonso, right? Yeah. >> And Alfonso was not something that originated in India. Mangoes we had, but it was grafted using a technique that resulted in this variety called as Alfonso. Now the question is why was it named Alfonso? Right? There was a Portuguese admiral called as Alfonso Albuquerque.
(33:05) And if you look at the archaeological museum in Goa, you will see a huge statue of him today. So it was named after him because he found out or he figured the grafting technique for that. It is not indigenous to India. While mangoes were always indigenous to India. So these are some things that kind of we crave for those Alfonso mangoes. Right.
(33:23) So that is also had some imports and grafting techniques that came from outside. >> I want to ask you about millets because we had Dr. Kadderi come on to our podcast some time ago and we had discussed various statistics and he's talked about how rice just ends up using more water >> correct >> right in cultivation vizeri millets >> correct >> so a statistic that I have is that around the 1960s okay about 35,000 hectares of land was used in millet cultivation cut to today it's reduced to half 15 million hectares of land is now used for cultivation of millets so one
(33:52) reason that alternative medics or nutritionists would say is this has contributed to making India the diabetes capital because we can't have a monocerial diet. We need multigrains in our diet. Another facet that Khadwali had discussed was that rice needs about 3,000 to 5,000 L of water per kg and millets only need 300 to 500 L of water per kg. Explain this to me historically.
(34:14) How did this happen? How did this shift happen so significantly? >> See what he said is absolutely right. And if you look at this from a historical point of view, there are multiple layers to this. Now the advantages with millet is one, it consumes very little water. But if one gets to consume millets like we did back in the day, it keeps you away from factors like diabetes.
(34:34) We had a culture where we were growing multiple kinds of crops in a given piece of land. It was never a rice field or a millet field or a potato field or a vegetable field. We grew about five sorts of things in a piece of land. Now when millets can be more beneficial with little land needed, with little water needed, what was the need for the British to push us towards the rice thing? >> Yeah. which obviously needs more water.
(34:57) >> Yeah. >> One is to eliminate millets because that would not let them tax us more or make more money off us because one British never had the appetite for millets. The primary reason they wanted rice or wheat for that wheat primarily and the wheat that was not the ancient kind of wheat that we had.
(35:15) This was a mutated version of wheat >> which was primarily used to make the bread and the sourdough which was needed for the British elite in in Great Britain not for us. So that meant millets had to go. When millets had gone away, what are we going to eat? That is when wheat became predominantly the go-to.
(35:35) And for people down south, it had to be replaced with something like rice >> which consumed a lot of water and it was less nutritious. And this done over and over and over over two hundreds of years at least 200 years will definitely make us the diabetes capital of India. And if you want to reverse this and I have these legendary people who talk about our own people, I'm pretty sure they know the history a little bit and they say we should stop blaming the west for colonialism. But think about it.
(36:02) How many years have we been independent? Right? So close to 80 years. Now if you look at close to 80 years of being independent and how many years were we ruled? Hundreds of years. 200 plus 300 plus years. Now, how long would it take for us to reverse that and go back to where we were when we were left with all these imports and less indigenous things that we consume today? So, that is something that we need to pay attention to.
(36:28) Now, that draws us to another interesting question about why rice cultivation. >> Yeah. >> Now, the British could have done anything. They would have they could have done wheat throughout, right? In areas like Punjab, if you look at what Punjab was back in the day and if you compare it what it is today, you will not be able to realize it because Punjab was the production hub of wheat that had to be exported to Great Britain.
(36:50) Now rice because rice needs more water and the British set up an elaborate canel system the irrigation system that they have and they say that we have changed India. We have civilized India. We have taught use civilization and the reason was because they wanted to tax water that was needed for the rice cultivation.
(37:10) We were charged or taxed for water that was consumed because we wanted to grow rice. So they wanted to tax water and rice needs more water and that is the same practice that continues even today in terms of municipal tax that we pay the water tax that we pay today. >> It is still a continued practice. Right? We did not have the concept of high tea.
(37:28) We did not have the concept of nashta or breakfast. We did not have the the a proper three course meal or five course meal. We never had that. >> The British had a mini breakfast. They had a major spread of breakfast like the proper breakfast then followed by lunch and dinner. We never had that. We only used to eat like in the rhythm of the sun. Sunrise to sunset.
(37:50) That would that was the only thing that we were doing. >> So branch and dinner. >> Yeah. So basically when the sunlight is at its peak, the sun energy is at its peak, you consume like a heavy meal and towards the end you >> you just subsided with the day and that's how we we were doing it all the way. >> Much like what yogic literature tells us, consume food two times a day only.
(38:07) So three times. So there was no breakfast in India. So and for that matter if you look at okra or the lady's finger is not even Indian. >> What are some facets of Indian lifestyle which are not natively ours >> correct? >> For example something interesting that I learned was uh you know the school bell actually was an imitation of the bells that were used in factories >> in production lines.
(38:30) Even the periods right 40 minutes 60-minute period comes from that culture of producing factory-line products and how you know there was this whole culture of inculcating discipline because the intention was to basically train humans to function like machines and to instill the sense of discipline obedience productivity etc >> industrial processes that you're talking about or how the school was an imitation to that we never had anything of that sort we were a happy golucky set of people who did certain things whether it was farming whether it was anything that
(38:57) we did to get by We never took it so seriously in terms of we would have to do this to buy this to get there. It was never a fabric of the society. Now we were always being happy about what we did and we had a clear demarcation of working spending time with families and you must have heard these lot of things about India having too many festivals right almost every day was a festival.
(39:19) Now this did not have to be like a literally religious festival. There were temple festivals, there were family festivals, there were again religious festivals. Now we knew how to live, have fun and balance it out. Now where do you think all this systematic discipline or 8 to5 or 9 to5 and set factory timings and set breaks tea breaks that we talk about right it all came from the factorization of the British when they got into us this factory culture that you have to be here at this time finish it by this time this is going to be your
(39:54) lunch time this is going to be your break time >> the tea break system or the tea break culture this was all a part of that I mean if you speak to any of your grandfathers or grandmothers or even your great-grandfathers for that matter, you will realize they didn't have anything of this sort.
(40:07) When did he go to the farm? When he felt like it, >> yeah. >> Or when he had like a harvest season, that's about it. >> And when he wanted to relax, he relaxed. >> He did. And then they did fun things. They spent time with the family. They they narrated stories to the family. Right now, today, if a typical corporate employee had to spend two hours with his kids, >> I don't think he's in a position to do that in a relaxed fashion.
(40:26) I think these are all the after effects of the colonial system where we were pitted against each other. So all these enhancements were tore the fabric away that we already had and created new categories, new strata of the society, new rules, new ways that we functioned. Schools, come to think of schools, where are the gurugs? Gurug schools are gone.
(40:47) Gurugul was the only system that we knew of where one generation taught to the other generation. Not like a strict syllabus where everybody has to go through the same thing. You could learn something else. I could learn something else because we were all happy. Not all of us are built together.
(41:03) You may like math. I may like science or somebody else may like Vedas or scriptures better. So we had different ways and things that we learned. Now today it is all machine. Somebody goes in goes through the same grind every day and come out or whether they not come out is another story. >> Correct. >> Now we are treated like machines.
(41:21) Now what happened to that culture? So this is called as the mech system where everybody who has to study. There is no guru system that is gone. That was dismantled activities like kaleripu right which is the oldest form of martial arts that was dismantled and they called it witchcraft. >> What are you saying? >> Yeah it was called as witchcraft because the moves seemed different and they had to abolish it in anyway because they saw it as a threat.
(41:46) >> And then that got dismantled. Then if you look at the schools today where everybody goes through the same thing every day for a couple of years and you come out and then you end up doing the same thing right it's the same grind that we all a part of today >> that was a result of somebody called as me.
(42:02) So he devised this micro system where the logic was very simple and it is clearly documented in the letters that he has written to his father. It says we need a sect of people who look Indian but who think British right they look Indian in their color whatever form they are in but they think British that is when you can use them to your advantage.
(42:21) If you let them think that is when people will fail to succumb to your system. So that is how the whole education system got transformed. I had one thing to add that um like you said now every day of the year was a festival. So I believe people used to only work for 50 to 100 days a year and the remaining uh days of the year it's all about festivals and celebration and observing nature.
(42:42) A huge part of our indic school system was about observing nature being with nature and that's completely gone. >> It is gone and we were also very resourceful with what we had. We were resourceful with the time we had. Yeah, >> we had a perfect balance of work, eating healthy, >> eating what you grow, eating what is indigenous to you, having your own set of people around you, joined families, happiness all around.
(43:04) You had cultures, you had religious things that you were doing, you were more balanced, I think, and that kind of puts you in a state of equilibrium. >> Correct. >> Now today, if you're working for 12, 14 hours, I think it's almost become a competition like I can work 14 hours, you can work 18 hours. Correct. It's a good thing, but at the end of the day, for what? >> Yeah.
(43:18) >> Right. You're not retaining any part of your culture and you hardly have time to spend with your little ones >> and your mental health is in doldrums >> and then you're having a conversation about a debate rather about 70 hour work week and 50. >> Correct. And and and it is what is scary is we we try to normalize that. Yeah.
(43:33) >> That is what is scary. >> Exactly. >> You were talking about how people led a balanced life. They had a family. They had we didn't work all the time and we had like a lot of festivals. You we were talking about that discussion. Now we never had Sundays. We never had like a Sunday holiday, right? We had something that is going on.
(43:51) We took a break when we needed to, when we wanted to. When we had something more important, we took a break. Now, where did this Sunday thing come in play is the most fascinating aspects of it. Now, it is a given, right? You talk to anybody, the moment they hear Sunday, their mind shuts off. Now, we never had that thing.
(44:06) Now turns out that it comes from a very interesting study or an observation which is when the British system started when the whole thing was getting factory and industrialized and we had to work set hours round the clock long hours set breaks. Now when this was happening we did not have a break at all. We never had a Sunday break.
(44:28) Now there are some people who actually fought for it and said that this is we're being overworked. We need a break. Now think about it. The rest days could have been anything. >> Yeah. >> Why a Sunday? >> Because God said that from day one until day five, he created everything else. Stars, planets, you know, um sea, water, land.
(44:47) And then on day six, he began creating all creatures. And then his apex creation was a human. And because it was a very tiresome process, he wanted to take rest. And so day seven was about resting. And it is supposed to be a holy day. That's what I've heard. >> Right. No, basically, I mean, it is what I got told when I asked people around first when I was a kid about why is Sunday a holiday? because God wanted to rest on that day. But think about it.
(45:06) We could have bargained better is my answer. We could have asked for another day. And the reason it was given or decided that Sunday is going to be the day where everything will rest is because British predominantly a Christian society or the colonizers who were predominantly a Christian society had religious things to do on Sundays and they thought they wouldn't lose out on anything >> if the others took a day off on that day too >> because >> so the Sunday Mars and all of that.
(45:31) >> Yeah. So they had they were churchgoing population. They wanted to have family dinners, meet friends. It was a part of the European culture. >> We couldn't be bothered more about that. We got a day off. I think we were happy about it back then. But come to think of it, it could have been anything.
(45:46) It was decided it was going to be Sunday because they were busy on a Sunday. That leads us to why did this IST happen? What what is this whole thing about Indian standard time? But did you know that we had other versions of time before IST happened? You know the sun dial and all of that right the device >> the sun dial >> the sun dial sun dial >> but sund dial was again telling you the time >> but if you look at the culture the indigenous culture that we had >> now Delhi for example has a different sunrise and sunset
(46:15) >> correct >> a solar time thing and a lunar time thing >> so all the regions had their own times their own schedules their own rituals we didn't have like one standard time if you woke up uh and began your work in let's say the western region of India >> it won't be the same >> it won't be the same for somebody down south because they followed different calendars we had different cultures different regional thing going on now it was all brought it had to be brought to the same standard time for a reason because before IT we had something
(46:45) called as Madras time >> now why was it not called Mumbai time or Kolkata time or Delhi time why was it Chennai time or why was it Madras time turns out that if you look at the financial capital of the British was Bombay or Mumbai Their commercial capital was Kolkata or Kolkata.
(47:05) Now Medras so happens that it happens bang at the center. Railways was the reason that the Indian standard time came along because Medras happens to be at the center. It is a very good convenient spot for the British to consolidate things now to move troops around to move their goods to the UK. They needed a standard time and we couldn't afford delays and they couldn't afford not to dispatch troops.
(47:25) If there was a rebellion happening in Kolkata, if the time mismatch happens, we're talking about losing lives there. So that is when they standardized this whole thing and railways helped them do it seamlessly. In spite of that, until I think they must have done this in the early 1900s or late 1800s, but even after they devised this plan and they made it standard, Kolkata and Bombay didn't follow that for at least a few decades.
(47:49) >> Ah, >> until 48 years or something, Kolkata said, "We're not doing that. We are still sticking to our own schedule." And Bombay had to do that for about 30 years after they had devised it >> until somewhere in the 1900s. It all got consolidated and became one time zone called the Indian standard time.
(48:04) Now look at the way we dress the three-piece suit that we're talking about that men wear today. We never had that. >> Correct. >> Right. This is all an impact of what the British or the Portuguese had on us. Now what is the most traditional attire that Indian women can wear? >> Saris. >> Saris.
(48:25) Sar's never had a specific structure that we see today. In a way, we are talking about something or we are depicting something as a true identity of Indian culture as sari is not even Indian. It has Victorian culture written all over it. >> Saris, >> yes. >> Saris is not Indian. >> At least not the way that we are wearing it today because Indian women never had the culture of wearing blouses that look like shirts.
(48:47) And if you go back in time, there was no culture of women wearing blouse. There was only a piece of cloth that was wrapped around their chests. Yes. >> Right. So >> like a tube like a tank top. >> Exactly. And it was called as tanpata. >> And it was invented as because the colonizers felt that we were lewd and there was a lot of skin show.
(49:04) We were uncultured. Right. And women who even wore a sari a certain way were not allowed to enter certain circles because we were we didn't fit the category. So, so that is when a lot of people who were native to India and who also moved in those circles came up with this Victorian style of wearing blouses or pett coats for that matter.
(49:24) We never had any of those. >> Yeah. No pett coats and saris were not draped the way they are draped today. Now think about women working on the fields. If they wore dresses like these or sari like these it would be very uncomfortable and very they would be feel very unfunctional that way. So this is all not something that we had indigenous to India.
(49:44) At least sari or the material or the fabric that we use may have been indigenous to us but definitely this style of clothing is definitely not there. >> I want to ask you another interesting question. Have you ever wondered as a kid why is my school uniform like this? >> At least when I was studying all the schools had a white shirt as a common >> trait right and your pants or your shorts that you were wearing to school each school had a different identity.
(50:07) Right? Have you ever wondered why is my school uniform like this or why is it this color? It could have been anything. >> Yeah. >> Now look at it. Why are the police or the cops that we talk about today in India dressed in khaki? Specifically, turns out there are certain stories that are documented.
(50:25) The British initially when they came they had a white shirt and a red coat. >> Okay. >> Right now camouflage becomes very very very important. It is easy for you to get spotted with a red coat on. >> Right. And the Britishers were getting handpicked by the enemy's forces because you can see somebody's moving in red and it's you're an easy target.
(50:41) >> Uhhuh. >> So eventually they got rid of their red coats. They're left with white shirts which is not doing things any better. So now they started making their clothes look muddy by soaking them in tea and by applying mud and clay and all those things just to look the color of the mud so that they can camouflage better.
(51:03) Ah, >> but that had a problem. One wash and everything used to go away and it was white again. So they spent years together in finding a dye that they could dye these clothes with in such a color that it is very difficult for the enemies to spot. >> That apparently is why the khaki uniform came into play. >> A >> so this specific discussion we can't say if it's a good thing or a bad thing but it is very interesting and it is important to understand how we got here.
(51:32) Now think about receptions right if you think about a reception marriage receptions or even reception in anyway the hotel receptions for that matter the whole culture of having a reception desk or an event like a reception is not Indian >> you know where you were talking about um wedding receptions engagement was never a part of our culture ring exchange was never a part of our culture cutting a birthday cake was never a part of our culture it came from the Europe >> blowing out candles was supposed to be inospicious because you never blow out
(51:58) light right you're always supposed to wave it off >> yes what do you think of Jim Jim Khanas >> Jim Khanas like the the Delhi Jim Khana Delhi Jim Khana every region has one Bombay Jana what comes to your mind first >> a certain class of society come together mingle and >> correct >> and sometimes it is also used as a place where you have certain sorts of recreation racket games and things like that >> so basically this did not start out to be like this these were called as gain kas >> gain meaning ball >> oh >> kana means so this was where the units
(52:29) were posted the military units posted the troops set it themselves and they used these to play games and racket games or anything that they wanted to play around with. Now that eventually transformed into gym kanas because the British could not pronounce gent right >> and because they they assumed that there are a lot of activities related to fitness and sports they called it a gymnasium and kana is the original they version of it together it became gym kana >> super >> so that again resulted into the club culture it could be rotary or anything
(53:01) of that sort we were a very open society right What is this black hole incident? >> So what we're going to talk about in the next few minutes will possibly give you the context to this entire discussion that we're going to have which is lost history. Now we speak so much about lost history without knowing the actual reason that British even came to India.
(53:23) Somebody had asked me this question ever about why do you think British came to India? I would have said to rule over India or to conquer India. >> Yeah. >> But the funniest of the facts is they never came to India with the intention of taking over anything or to rule over Indians at all. They never knew themselves that they would rule over India for so many years.
(53:41) They just came as traders. They only came here because they wanted to fill their chests with a lot of currency, a lot of loot or whatever they could. They came here as traders and nothing more than that. But there are a sequence of events that happened that made their resolve so strong that they decided that they would conquer this bit by bit and it's a natural progression.
(54:04) So the most important incident that describes this whole thing is the black hole episode. So this happened in the Bengal region which is the modern day Kolkata region where the British set up a fort right which is called as Fort William today where they had all the things that they were trading in they bought their goods they saved it here but it was a rundown building and they were just making amendments to the building to make it a little foolproof because right at that time the Dutch was also in India and the British and Dutch were eternal enemies.
(54:33) They were here to get the strongest foothold and monopoly on trade. And did you know that the British before they came to India, they were stationed for about seven years in Indonesia. If things had worked out in Indonesia, I don't think they would have ever come to India. >> They only came to India because they couldn't handle the conflict with Dutch in Indonesia because Dutch were already there in Indonesia.
(54:53) So then they came here, they wanted this monopoly. They they were eternally competing with the Dutch. So just to gain security and safety for themselves they were strengthening or making amendments to this building called as Fort William. Now the local ruler the Mgal ruler called as Siraju Dala he got a little freaked out that why is the British building a fort around something in my own territory without even informing me right and he sends them a warning of sorts now well you know how the British humor is and how the British speak. They
(55:24) spoke in a rather offensive tone which read something on the lines of would you be able to give us protection? Are you even capable to give us protection if the Dutch does something to us? And now this made him furious. Now that's when the king walked in his with his entire army hundreds of kilometers just to see what is happening just to put British in their place and just to establish authority and say that I am the ruler of this region.
(55:50) Now this gets miscommunicated among all the parties and this turns out into a fight where the British governors and the elite from that monument takes off in a ship and they're only left with a handful of soldiers. Now when a king finally arrives when the fight ends use between these people. Now they capture about 40 to 60 odd people they put them all into a room and they lock the room.
(56:13) Hence it is called as the black hole incident. >> Oh. So in that process when the king was about to return the next day the people who were locked in the room were denied water. It was hot. British were not used to this weather. They were not even given water. In this whole confusion they say there were lives lost.
(56:29) And this made the British furious. The numbers have been exaggerated. Some say there are there are 43 people who died. Some people say 69. Some people say 129. While we may not know the exact numbers but the exact reason the fight eventually turned into a bigger war is because of this particular incident when the reinforcements arrived from Madras then the fight broke out then Sirajadala lost the war that's how British started taking one thing after the other thing gained a strong foothold then it became the empire it is it was at some point in
(57:01) time >> wow >> and the battle that we are talking about is the battle of Placi which is very very very signature moment in terms of the British involvement in India. >> Ah okay. So another question that I have for you is what are the things that we think are western but are actually Indian.
(57:20) So one of the things during research that came up was shampoo actually comes from the Indian word chi >> right >> which became choo and because the west couldn't pronounce it they called it shampoo. >> True. True. There are quite a few things that are making a comeback thankfully. >> Yeah. I think I would say it is not important to realize it now but we should proactively dig up things and figure out what we had and what is being sold to us >> like fashion is a big thing >> that comes back >> the praa kapuri chapels which became such a human cry
(57:49) >> right and and you look at the whole industry in the region of in in Maharashtra for that I think that doesn't deserve that credit while if if it comes from Prada I think it makes a huge difference so I think that reversal of thought process is something that we should proactively seek is what I feel >> you know speaking of fashion between the 1975s to 1993 a lot of Indian women in America had to give up binds for the fear of being attacked by the dotbusters of that time and today you have bindies everywhere in fact someone I know uh
(58:19) used to run a very very successful bindi business in Germany you know those all fashionable kinds of bind >> so a lot of Indian exports by the way of you know the batwa bags that is used in the bridgeten series you have the kashmir which comes from the kashmir so a lot of Indian things that were distinctly Indian have been co-opted by the western culture.
(58:38) So like the Prada Chapels and then you had the Ralph Lauren I think Jumas. Tell me about some of these fashion cultures and their connection with India and how these Indian icons have become these foreign you know showpieces. It all roots from taking one culture and adapting to it is nothing new right so we do it all the time and the world does it but it is surprising to see that there are certain aspects like you rightly mentioned you talk about bindi go back 10 years in time look at any of the fashion magazines the more that you did not look
(59:09) like an Indian >> was fashionable >> yes >> but now it's flipping >> I remember that bhenji thing remember and even there are a lot of shows also made in that and and Indian was always typically represented in in a standard form, right? In a most assuming form that you can think of, >> backward aggressive, >> we were we were projected that.
(59:26) >> Now, Bindi is interesting in terms of the moment you gave a western spin to it, now it started making way into the pop culture. Now, there are music artists with Indian roots, some of them maybe they are the ambassadors of that in a good way. It is going to become mainstream very soon. Same is the case with your Prada discussion that we have had.
(59:46) I can only relate to it in the most vivid way that I can think about is I'm from the south and I have had a grandmom on my mother's side who always used to chew these beetle leaves. She had tuna, she had these beetle nuts and she had this weird looking funny pouch which was made from the cloth that remained after getting a blouse piece stitched, right? And this was a gift from the tor's side where this was made into a small pouch of sorts.
(1:00:11) Now she just used to put her beetle leaves and coins, change, whatever she could and it had like a string that she could pull it now easily if if that gets sold in any of the airports today that you can look at or it can make even more if it is sold in the west which is again coming back to the same circle where it is the bwa which we had and this was the most simplest thing that we had as a my grandma we're talking about what 50 years ago and that has come back again in into the mainstream right and surprisingly The designs that I see today are not very different from the
(1:00:42) designs that she had bangles >> and you look at the bangles for that matter. >> Yeah. >> Right now we were called annoying at some point in time when if we wore bangles we were told very orthodox the moment you give a fancy spin to it all the time coming from India became a style statement today >> and it is funny if you >> ha tattoo >> henna right and and I've seen men do it too.
(1:01:03) >> Yeah. >> Western men get it done in the weddings all the time. >> Ah >> yeah. So I think I think we're coming full circle and it's it's good to see that. >> Yeah. So my guru says this that whatever comes from the west is science and whatever goes from the east is superstition. It's time we change that. >> Absolutely.
(1:01:22) I think he couldn't have been more right. I think it's if you look at it that's exactly what has been happening and I think the future seems bright. I think for now let's see. >> Yeah for now. Correct. >> I think there are a lot of things in terms of what we had culturally. For example, we had uh oils that we consume. >> We had a lot of mustard oil.
(1:01:42) We had castor oil that was used for medicinal purposes. And I think these were gingerely oil for that matter. These kind of oils were labeled foul smelling and impure and all those things. >> These were abolished and because they what the British did was they taxed us on the uh the system of making this oil. So we had a wooden cylindrical thing where that used to be tied to a to cattle and that's how we had this whole system of making oils ourselves.
(1:02:10) We didn't need a refinery. These were all uh cold pressed oils which is making a comeback again. Right. So this was something that we had and that was eliminated. Then came your sunflowers, safflower, ground nut oil which were machine made at high temperatures, zero nutrition just made for mass production to make money. Simple.
(1:02:32) So this is something that we had which was systematically eliminated. They eliminated these things completely. And if you look at dala which is one of the most biggest scams of the world. It was very unhealthy for you. It had high amounts of cholesterol but it was marketed as a cheaper alternative to ghee. >> Yeah. >> Because it looked like ghee.
(1:02:48) ghee was expensive. So this is exactly where the company came in promoting dala which is very very unhygienic and very dangerous for your health at some point. >> Again a British >> again a British >> production. Okay. It was a marketing campaign if you ask me because think about it as a kid I still remember those yellow looking packets of dala with dala written on it and they just used to look like ghee and I used to think it was ghee at some point right and that is the the level that they played you >> in making you feel that this was a
(1:03:17) cheaper alternative to a healthy ghee >> well it was nothing close to that >> but I think the reason I'm saying this now is because I'm happy it's making a comeback >> because even Ayurveda became famous even yoga yoga and IA both became famous after the west sold it back to us right and repackaged it as something very whatever exotic what I also believe is that neem and turmeric which was indigenously our all the concoctions decoctions that were made ayurveic in nature >> were from us but uh the United States
(1:03:45) patented it >> yes >> they patented neem and turmeric and then we had to fight and get it back >> and and it's funny because if you look at uh the import export side of things today >> one of the most prominent profitable exports to other nations from India is moringa Okay. >> Right. And it gets dried, it gets powdered, it gets packed better and it's comes back to us as moringa powder.
(1:04:08) But the tree bloody grows in our backyards and and we ignore it. >> Yeah. Anything related to furniture that you'd like to talk about? When you talk about furniture that you may be surprised to know that some of the furniture that we were hardcore fans of at some point in time and we it almost became our prized possession even in some of the traditional households you will still see that it's something that the British invented and we thought it there is no way that the British would have invented that or would have come up
(1:04:35) with that idea right so when the British came to India they got their huge heavy Victorian furniture on the ships now ships has to sail on water and water has moisture and there was a huge problem with molds where the furniture started getting destroyed. The Victorian furniture is of no use in India.
(1:04:54) Now you know the most important piece of furniture in any house is a sofa. What do you think we had before sofas even came along? >> Bed katya charpies. >> Charp right? It is the most comfortable most Indian furniture that we can ever think of. >> Correct. >> But when the British came, they had no idea of what they were getting into.
(1:05:12) They got their huge heavy Victorian pieces of furniture. Now they had no way to go and they couldn't adapt to the Indian style for two reasons. One they were not used to it. Number two is they looked down upon us when it came to what we already had. They needed anything but what we had.
(1:05:28) Right now this resulted in the most intriguing pieces of furniture that any Indian would have come across which is called as a cane furniture. >> Uh the ratans. >> Yes. So if you look at the cane or the ratan furniture, it was the most important piece in the lawns of English buildings. their palaces. Even if you look at the cane huge furniturees that look like sofa sets, cane furniture, even the government offices for that matter had these revolving chairs that were made of cane furniture.
(1:05:53) >> Thank you so much, Mr. Krishna Chaitanya. Um, a very unique podcast and very fascinating. I didn't think I would enjoy history as much. Truly, history is to be one of the most boring subjects in school for me. >> For all of us rather.
