Jairam Ramesh & Vinay Sitapati

Yes, Prime Ministers: Jairam Ramesh and Vinay Sitapati on their biographies of Indira Gandhi and P.V. Narasimha Rao. In conversation with Oindrilla Dutt. January 27, 2018, Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata

Watch carefully the initial commentary by Oindrilla Dutt - how the narrative is set. Indira in spite of emergency and dictatorial tendencies is shown in positive light and everything about Narasimha Rao is unfortunate. No doubt both were great leaders I just don't like when people who anchor a discussion try to set a narrative than let viewers decide for themselves.

Exactly...

[@410chandu]

True..

[@aniruddhadutta15]

So true..

[@PS-ej2xn]

Yes. This was quite weird. And unfortunate.

[@babjis3602]

Sh PVN is the most honest,hardworking,dedicated & Mathavi PM of India.

[@akm134]

APJ Abdul Kalam described Shri PV Narasimha Rao as a "patriotic statesman who believed that the nation is bigger than the political system".

[@akm134]

PV Narasimha Rao is a masterpiece India witnessed. He is inspiration to many generations. Please go through the wiki, i am sure you will be stunned with his achievements.

Feed back the Anchor comes out too dominating what is required is a Facilitator. She comes out as more of a phychohant of Indra Gandhi. In the Case of Indhra Gandhi comes from a very privileged background so had passions. Narasimha Rao became the non Dynasty PM came out because of Skills , Scholarship & Political Survivor. Indra Gandhi used the Kashmir Pandit Lobby to govern the nation at the beginning of her tenure. She had no control over her son Sanjay Gandhi during Emergency Sanjay using his Goon squad Sanjay became the Extra Constitution Authority She destroyed the biggest ISP of her father Jawahar Lal Nehru Democracy more due to her son Sanjay & Promoted Dynasty. The Anchor idolises Mrs Gandhi & acts like her in this discussion. Overall a good discussion. Thank you for Shareing. Nathan Sekhar Sydney Australia.

In all the PMs who ruled India. Only PV Saheb will be remembered. Rest will be not even in footnote. Lot of Primary material available. Whole truth will be out soon.

It's unfair.. time limit is only an hour... We understand more by watching discussions than reading a book

[@sharathchandra0611]

Beautiful conversation

[@sanjeevuluannapuram5619]

PVN best prime minister of India.

[@aniruddhadutta15]

One of the best.. Lal Bahadur shastri.. PVNR.. Atal Bihari Vajpayee.. Modi..

[@sudhakarb1573]

anchor should have to give respect .

[@aniruddhadutta15]

Why was Indira sacked from Shantiniketan... can anyone throw some light on the reason.

[@sidhartharay9781]

Don't understand what this debate is all about. Vinay is talking about the unknown attributes of PV whereas the Congress sycophant is eugiolising Indira's environmental works.

[@abhishekkrishna3902]
