"We Belong" Impact Summit 2026: Inclusion or Hidden Agenda?

This episode explores the “We Belong” Impact Summit 2026 and its emphasis on inclusion and community influence. Rajiv Malhotra analyzes how such platforms engage with Hindu-American identity, values, and political positioning in the West, and considers whether they function as authentic outreach efforts or play a role in shaping broader narratives around diaspora representation and influence.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

TCS Nashik Case: The Tip of the Iceberg?

In this video, Vijaya Viswanathan (Trustee, Infinity Foundation) presents a critical perspective on global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) frameworks and their influence on corporate workplace policies.Using a reported case from TCS’s Nashik office as a reference point, she discusses how emerging workplace inclusion practices—particularly those related to religious accommodation—may be increasingly shaped by ESG-linked compliance and scoring systems.The talk examines initiatives such as religious diversity and inclusion indices (including the REDI index) and suggests that such mechanisms could influence how companies evaluate and reward “inclusion” practices under the ESG “S” category.The video also questions whether global ESG governance models adequately reflect regional cultural contexts, particularly in India, and calls for consideration of India-specific approaches to corporate governance and social policy.#TCSNashik #ESG #CorporateGovernance #WorkplaceCulture #IndiaWho Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

Who Shapes India's Self-Understanding?

A thought-provoking conversation at the Indraprastha Cultural Festival brings together Manogna Sastry, Anil Sahasrabudhe, and Nitin Seth, moderated by Aparna Vijayan, to examine a deeper question beneath public discourse: how India understands itself. Moving beyond surface narratives, the panel explores how civilizational frameworks, educational institutions, and digital systems shape the categories through which reality is interpreted. From the legacy of historical disruption to the challenges of unexamined inherited lenses, the discussion connects knowledge systems to questions of strength, policy, and technological futures. The conversation ultimately asks whether India today defines itself on its own terms — or continues to think through frameworks it has yet to fully interrogate. The Hindi edition of Infinity Foundation’s path-breaking book, गंगा में विषधर, was also launched by the esteemed panel, along with the editor Anurag Sharma.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

Is India's Sovereignty Robust or Fragile?

In this provocative keynote at the Indraprastha Cultural Festival, Rajiv Malhotra, Founder of Infinity Foundation, delivers a wake-up call regarding India’s Sovereignty as a Subscription. Drawing from the spirit of the Mahabharata, he argues that India is currently chasing the wrong goals by prioritizing "feel-good" emotions over the harsh realities of Narrative Warfare and technological dependence.Rajiv Malhotra highlights a dangerous trend: while India celebrates being a top consumer of Western platforms, it remains a "technology beggar." He critiques the Left-liberal ecosystem and the NGO-ization of Discourse for fostering an Internal Colonization that weakens the national resolve. He calls for a robust Kshatriya-Vaishya Complex—a modern military-industrial framework—to ensure that India moves from being a "land of Shudras" (service providers for Western IP) to a global leader in innovation. Without Technological Swaraj, he warns, political sovereignty is a fragile illusion.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

India's Sovereignty in a Changing World Order

In this critical panel discussion, Rajiv Malhotra, Ambassador Kanwal Sibal, and Sankrant Sanu examine the shifting global order through the lens of hard power and technological Swaraj. Rajiv Malhotra argues that India is currently caught in a state of internal colonization due to a fundamental lack of indigenous R&D and intellectual property. He warns that without a robust military-industrial complex, India remains vulnerable to a new form of digital colonization led by the US-China duopoly.The conversation moves beyond mere narrative warfare to address the "root cause" of India's dependency: the failure of the left-liberal ecosystem and short-term Jugaad thinking to invest in foundational technologies like AI and semiconductors. The speakers challenge the current industrial policy, noting that while India has "lakhs of engineers," they are often reduced to modern-day sepoys serving foreign predator civilizations through global capability centers that own the IP developed by Indian brains.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/
