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

“BCCI doesn’t fund Indian football.” Did they help Neeraj Chopra single handedly popularize javelin in India and make people stay up till midnight to watch him? NO. India is always just one big performance away from supporting you, no matter the sport.

I was actually hyped to read this but the translation pissed me off. Only to then find out that the translation group is racist as fuck

🚨 LMFAO!! President Trump just dropped this hilarious line right in front of Indian PM Modi "So you look at this man. I'll give you a lesson. He's the most BEAUTIFUL-looking man. He looks so nice. He's like an angel!" 😭 "But actually, he's tough, he's a killer. He's as tough as they come. But he looks so good. So he gets you by surprise!" "There's a few people like this. People say he's such a nice man. He's very tough."
