I call them like I see them. When someone's a fraud, I call them a fraud. When someone's lying, I present their lies to them, if in the case of a debate, to their face, and press them. I'm not here to play nice. This is not how I would behave with someone with whom I have a genuine disagreement

I don't want to forbid homoeopathy. I don't want to forbid anything. I want people to be well informed and make up their own choices. And that's precisely what we did.

This time, I'm interviewing Sanal Edamaruku, one of the big guys in the Indian rationalist movement. He is the Founder and President of Rationalists International and President of the Indian Rationalist Association. He has done so much over the years to fight for scientific temper and rationality in India. In fact, Sanal had to leave India when a group of Christians in India started threatening him when he debunked their claim that their statue of Jesus was weeping. It turned out, the weeping Jesus was not a miracle. The truth of what was seeping out of the statue is a lot more…troubling. In this video, we talk about his origin story, the importance of scientific temper, the whole account of what led to his leaving the country, the latest updates on rationalist international, and his advice to the new sceptics and rationalists of India who are fighting superstition every day.
