ईश्वर है या नहीं? दिमाग के पोर खोलने वाली बातचीत | Blasphemy | Kushal Mehta | Kitabwala

In this special episode of Kitaabwala, author Kushal Mehra joins Kuldeep Mishra for a sharp, thought-provoking, and deeply engaging conversation about his book “Blasphemy.” The discussion explores religion, faith, atheism, conversion, truth claims, and the freedom to question sacred ideas. Kushal Mehra recalls a striking incident from a flight where, as he says, a group of people tried to convert him. From there, the conversation moves into a wider debate on belief and skepticism. He reflects on the idea that people who read, question, and think critically are often labeled atheists, and asks whether knowledge and faith are truly in conflict. The interview also examines provocative statements such as “The God Is Not Great” and “Religion is truth; it is just a truth claim.” Kushal argues that religious ideas should not be placed beyond scrutiny, but should be examined through reason, philosophy, history, and open debate. The episode is filled with memorable moments, humor, and sharp commentary, including references such as the “Orange candy” anecdote, the line “Bhagwan jal-kukda hai,” and the Punjabi-style expression, “Mere ko to changi gal karni hai Rabb de naal.” These moments add wit and personality to an otherwise intense and intellectually rich conversation. Kushal Mehra also brings up the Rigveda, highlighting how ancient Indian thought itself leaves room for doubt and philosophical uncertainty about creation and the existence of the divine. He points toward the idea that even the oldest texts sometimes ask whether anyone truly knows the ultimate truth. This episode is not just about one book.
