Speaking at the 27th International Congress of Vedanta at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Dhankhar criticised the lack of understanding of India’s intellectual heritage and urged greater engagement with Vedantic wisdom.
“Ironically and painfully, references to Sanatan and Hindu evoke baffling reactions among people that are beyond comprehension. Rather than appreciating the profound meaning of these words, many respond with negativity. Can ignorance be more extreme?” he asked.
On the “dismissal” of Vedantic and Sanatani texts, he said that such responses often occur without any engagement or study of these ancient philosophies.
