We can't do this nonsense. This idea that everything is India is just dumb and undercuts actual real Dharmik ideas, innovations and genius. The same with Western thinkers who were brilliant too. Finding some similarity of ideas here and there isn't evidence of plagarism, that is just bad reasoning and logic. Show evidence that he knew Indic thought, not simply stating a translation existed therefore it is probable he knew, show direct words that indicate borrowing or knowledge. First, the Critique of Pure Reason was written around 1780-81, well before any western translation of the upanishads. He didn't have access to any of these texts you are referring to. The phenomena/noumena point is something that has been discussed in some form by most philosophical traditions for millennia. In the west it starts with the pre-socratics into the period of time of Kant and after. So no, it isn't maya. The tat tvam asi position you put forth isn't even the same idea that Kant is putting forth about how a knower is able to develop a single unified vision or perspective incorporating the diverse objects around him, it isn't claiming any identity or ontological claim just epistemology. The sankhya position you posit and the Kantian idea of reason are not even speaking about the same thing. the Kantian idea is about experience vs reason and the limitations of each, he develops the concepts of antinomy. You experience the world of series or parts not as singular whole as a thing-in-itself. Reason deals with ideas not things that experience deals with, they are different things. Dharma isn't absolute, it is contextual, it is a bit more complex than that but for these purposes it is sufficient. Kant is not that, he is a universalist, that is the categorical imperative that applies to all rational beings, devoid of context. the Brhadaranyaka upanishad verse and the idea of treating all as end in themselves not merely means isn't even connected. Plus he didn't know that upanishad as far as we can see and it wasn't even translated into a language that he knew yet. I'm not knowledgeable about Rasa and Bhava and frankly Kant's disinterested aesthetic judgement to say anything more than this seems to me to be beyond a stretch. The samkhya position and kant's is also a stretch with nothing to evidence it

First, Hasan Minhaj spread half-truths about CAA and NRC to paint India as some dystopian state. Now he’s claiming that being Hindu, Buddhist, or even Indian is basically a Hamptons-style identity for wealthy Americans, while Islam is for “real people.” There was absolutely no reason to drag Indians, Hinduism, or Buddhism into that conversation. Yet he did. Then watch the clip. It tells you far more about Hasan Minhaj’s bigotry than it does about India.

Claim 1: "Understanding & translation of the Rig Veda had to be done by Westerners because much was lost in India" Status: False. Vedas were never "lost" in India. They were preserved through a complex, oral transmission system (incl. permutations) for millennia,

"Hindu nationalism has become the ideology of India" says former Norwegian Minister, chief negotiator between SL-LTTE. Surprisingly erroneous deduction, contrary to both Indian constitutional values, as well as European skepticism of religious majoritarianism.
