Dr. Mukul Kulshrestha, in conversation with Vikas Joshi, reveals a distinction that has remained hidden for thousands of years — Dharma and religion are not the same. As the author of “Unmasking Religion,” he explains that Dharma is a cosmic principle that can only be discovered, whereas religion is a human-made belief system that cannot function even for a day without violence, politics, and institutions.
The Colonial powers deliberately distorted the interpretation of India’s sacred texts, dismantled the Gurukul system to fragment Indian consciousness, and why Dharma alone offers a framework for global peace. This conversation is essential for anyone seeking to understand Indian civilization, Hindu philosophy, the root causes of modern world challenges.
