India On Precipice Of Amazing, Undeniable Global Soft Power: Vir Das

India is on the precipice of an "amazing, undeniable" global soft power whose "guardians" in equal measure are both those living in the homeland as well as the Indian diaspora, Emmy-Award winning comedian and actor Vir Das has said. "I think something that the diaspora does really well is protect culture," Das said here during a special interaction hosted at Asia Society. Das, who won the 2023 International Emmy for Best Comedy for his comedy special 'Landing', said amid applause and laughter from the audience at the event that what he finds "lovely" about the Indian diaspora is that while they have an American accent and American values, but "at your shaadi, you (dance) to 'Mehendi laga ke rakhna'. The Asia Society event on Thursday was presented in collaboration with global media platform, community and agency South Asian Trailblazers and was held on the eve of the premiere of Das's latest comedy special 'Vir Das: Fool Volume'. "India is on the precipice of an amazing, undeniable global soft power, and it only translates when the bridge happens from me to you. So we are both ends carrying that soft power," Das said, a message for the Indian diaspora settled across the world. "We are both guardians of India's soft power at an equal level." Citing the example of Indian actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh, who became the first Punjabi singer to perform at the popular Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California in 2023, Das said, "When Diljit performs at Coachella, that is an amazing, undeniable thing." "The diaspora has to show up to pack Coachella. When he shows up in India, we'll pack it for him. But when he comes to Coachella, show up, for modern Indian culture," he said. Das, who was first nominated for the 2021 International Emmy for Comedy for his previous Netflix special 'Vir Das: For India', had hosted the prestigious global awards last year. Responding to a question during the interactive Q&A session with the audience on what are some of the things the next generation should adopt from the current one, Das said one would be to know "that India is far more open-minded than you think it is. I say this with all due respect to the diaspora. " Sometimes you are raised in a time capsule version of India, that is the last version of India that your parents left behind, and that India doesn't exist anymore," he said to applause from the audience. Das added that "You are raised in more conservative households than we are, many times. So, please come and visit modern India." "Come and visit a place that does everything from Diljit to Mika to 'RRR' to 'Hanumankind'," Das said, referring to the popular Indian artists, the blockbuster movie which won the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 2023 Academy Awards for 'Naatu, Naatu' and the India-born rapper Sooraj Cherukat. Das underlined that there are things happening in India right now that kids of the Indian diaspora need to know. "The second thing is that it is okay to be flawed. I feel like children who are raised in the diaspora, you are under tremendous pressure to have model minority behaviour, more so than kids who are raised back home" because opportunities are far more scarce. "It is a smaller community here, but try and create the abundance mindset that you had when there were a billion jobs for you. I know that there are fewer jobs, that's a very tough mindset to create, but I think your child would be better served by creating that mindset," Das said.

"Do You Think I Am Jealous Of You?": Harbhajan Singh Asks R Ashwin. His Reply

Two of the greatest off-spinners that India has produced -- Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh -- have often been at the center of social media chatter over their 'unsaid rivarly'. Though Harbhajan and Ashwin played in different eras in the Indian team, a lot has been said and written about the love-hate relationship between the two. As Ashwin went on to conclude his career as India's second-highest wicket-taker, Harbhajan has often spoken about how the rank-turners in India have played to spinners' favour over the last 5-7 years. Some even claim that Harbhajan is jealous of Ashwin's achievements for the Indian team, considering the latter is also an off-spinner, by title. Sitting in front of each other in a video shared by the Tamil Nadu-born spinner, both decided to settle the social media chatter. "This whole jealousy bit, before I allow you to answer that, let me clarify something. People look at everything from their perspective. For example, if they are passing a comment on me, they believe that others would see the world through their eyes," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel in a 'Kutti Stories' teaser. "Their comments that you (Harbhajan) are jealous of this person who is interviewing you today (Ashwin), what would that be about, Bhajji pa?" he asked further. Ashwin said that the 'jealousy' angle comes from people's own perspective and mindset. Some feel their perspectives would be universal, but that isn't the case. "This whole jealousy bit, before I allow you to answer that, let me clarify something. People look at everything from their perspective. For example, if they are passing a comment on me, they believe that others would see the world through their eyes," Ashwin asserted. "Their comments that you (Harbhajan) are jealous of this person who is interviewing you today (Ashwin), what would that be about, Bhajji pa?" he asked further. "Do you think I am jealous of you? You are sitting with me today, and we have spoken at length. Do you think I am that kind of person?" asked Harbhajan. Ashwin gave quite an intriguing response to Harbhajan's counter question, saying even if he was jealous of him, the feeling was justified. He even gave his own example, saying some people feel he retired as Washington Sundar rose in the pecking order. "Even if you were jealous at one point in time, I think it's justified. That is my point, and I will never take it wrong because we are all human," said Ashwin. "Naturally, it is bound to be like that. Some people believe I retired because Washington Sundar is in the thick of things. All of this is the perspective of others," he added.
