Join us live to hear Ashutosh Varshney, Sol Goldman Professor of International Studies and Social Sciences at Brown University, discuss one of the most critical questions of our time. Is India still an electoral democracy? Many people would say questions about India’s status as a liberal democracy have become irrefutable but now, with Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest and financial action against the Congress Party, has a bigger issue arisen? Does India continue as an electoral democracy? Join us live at 5.00 p.m. to hear Ashutosh Varshney’s answer.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Sadly the rot has set so deep, people already indoctrinated, any further exposure will not dent any party’s reputation especially the BJP.
They will ensure no trace of the India of our forefathers remain. All Dharma will be grounded to dust.
BJP needs no campaigning , the virus infected followers will do the job for them.
Modi is a dictator because he is not bringing Sharia law!
Excellent sharing and answers to the current situation of the Country, Judiciary SC has a role as guardian of the Democracy
Agreed... Ambedkar sahib left too many loopholes.
Thus Parliament has to step up , plug the loopholes.
Chandrachud needs to step back ., Let Parliament do its job.
Parliament where BJP has the upper hand?😂@@ganeshdore
Best interview ever by WIRE. No Modi bashing, spoken only facts on the ground about our state of democracy. Thanks Professor for enriching the knowledge of the viewers.
PEOPLE need to voice out and save our DEMOCRACY and not leave this work to opposition only.
People did raise their voice... they voted for BJP after the riots in 1992 and 2002... Intellectual snobs need to accept the will of the Hindu majority..
@@rahulbosebose1
Hindu majority or cow belt Hindus?
@@FreddieMurphy746 how much $ for this comment from bjps troll army? What is the ongoing rate.. just checking.
@@rahulbosebose1you have know idea what you talking about.
@@Sam-81_98 Indian constitution will soon be amended. Forming Hindu Rastra.. And all of India will celebrate like they did after Ram Mandir.
we are always with neutral and intellectual media and Karwn Thapar
❤😂🎉.
Very interesting and challenging interview.Great questions asked by Karan Thapar. Only one more point could have been discussed about the current state of Indian liberal democracy compared to world’s other liberal democracies 🙏
Grim picture of Indian democracy!
Very Grim
@@nasirqureshi1785 Without EVM Modi fails. Let us work on these basics to kick this devil out.
No picture actually
Take some burnol, it will help
hurdles are being put before congress party INC by income tax department so that congress may not contest elections of lok sabha 2024. signs of imposing undeclared dictatorship near in future
I’m voting INC
All your interview s are fantastic and very much happy to hear
All your programs are very informative and must watch for rational people.
👍 Video awakens we the citizens of India to open our eyes❤
Scary facts.
Must watch.
Prof. Varsheney's comment on the role oof Supreme Court of India is so crucial at this critical time in India. There could be some aspects other than Electoral Bonds that SC could or may play a role that could restore India's restoration of Democracy
👌 Interview 🇮🇳🇯🇴
Karan thapar, you are awesome.
Great service thru this excellent interview on timely issue of the democracy decline in. India.
Excellent talk
Thank you The wire to bring such highly experienced and intellectual personalities for us. Media like this is so precious these days.
In ADM Jabalpur 1976 Justice Khanna gave a dissent judgment. He is a great source of inspiration to all generations to come.
Most politicians' English is weak and they depend on Hindi translators to understand the electoral bond process managed by the RBI.Companies buy electoral bonds to save income tax as well as to get government business contracts. G̣odi Media also is headed towards Russian style democracy. China is monitoring world's largest democracy very closely.
Thanks!
Thanks
Sir u r most honest journalist
The last hope is CJI. Hope the SC comes to the rescue of democracy. Citizens are looking up to the guardian.
Yes sure please
If not we can easily place the democracy of India as equivalent to Russia.
No, the last hope is ourselves, the people. Unless we mobilize ourselves politically on the street, it's unlikely that we will be able to reverse the trend. Yes, our legal system has a role to play, but leaving everything to SC will be disastrous.
Eagerly waiting for 1 June to press Lotus symbol on evm in my constituency 😂😂
Let Indian Judiciary come foreard to save our hard earned Democracy
This channel i recommed cus it only speak abut the truth... Nothing is left unturnd... Only the truth abut the ground reality level come out.. Nothing lies is spoken....i salute this man more than our dictator PM modi most respected sir karan thapur.. May god bless you with goood health and long life... Jai hind
Yes
Intelligent conversation!!! Thank you
Namaskar Karan Thapar ji. Please make a vedieo on comparison with a.p. chief minister,and Delhi chief minister cases
Democracy has genesis in free and fair elections on a level playing field, with the government in power respecting the opposition parties. Where are we ?
If Reddy had dealings with AAP, they surely he would had given electrol bonds to AAP before the scam? But this is not the case. The question is when does any person pays a party? when in trouble?? in jail? when threaten with long term jail? or out of love for the party who has put him behind bars, who has send ED after him? what does common sense tell you....
My Lord......is only legal guardian of our democracy
Will survive, we came through a big history
One of the very important definition of a libral democracy which Ashutos forgot to mention is ' A democracy where IT department can sarve a notice to an ordinary person like me for non- compliance but not to grand old political party for not paying taxes, even if court fails to find any reason to interfere'. कोई चोर अदालत में यह तर्क दे सकता है क्या- या तो सारे चोरों को पकड़ो या मुझे छोड़ो ?
Grime picture of Indian democracy.
At this curious time some brave journalists are required to tell the truth of these present happeningsbut sorry most of them are bought by Govt. Anyhow there are some true and brave journalists are still daring to bring the truth to people. Out of them you are one also. Good job must keep on doing so. 👍
Very meaningful discussion on the status of Indian democracy.
The CJI is the only hope for India to save our hard-earned democracy.
Very good discussion inspiring the political parties to gain free and fair elections. The judiciary should come forward to safeguard individual freedom and political freedom to ensure fair and free elections in curtailing the powers of the autonomous institutions under the hindutva ideology under the BJP government. Otherwise the India democracy will be destroyed. Very good conversation and the judiciary should come forward.
I had met him in IIC, New Delhi. My question to him was.
Do we have True Democracy, Demonocracy or Hypocrisy in India. I want your answer in one Word. He failed to answer.
He is Pro-Congress/Now INDIA.
🎉🎉🎉
Vote INC. Vote INDIA.
great topic for to day ,can the discussion be translated in other languages in india
Yes, Mr. Thapar, if you mean corruption (mostly black money) with political patronage should be the norm in a democracy… I am with you.
It's gives such a dignity to watch karan's interviews than watching rubbish by so called media.
Electoral autocracy put in place, already
A serious and meaningful interview.. Constriction of electoral space, appropriation of constitutional bodies to ensure that they all be subservient to the ruling dispensation, and muzzling dissents with brute majoritarianism and relegating opposition into obscurity look evidently clear in so far as BJP' s strategy is concerned.. Current situation is fraught with anxiety and constitutional sanctity is under threat
now where is vishwa Guru
not in jail, like scammer Kejriwal
he's under the water trying to sell another jumla to the illiterates
@@bojackC-137 jumla was Lokpal, which crooked Kejriwal was trying to foist over Indian constitution. Then scammer Kejriwal fired his own Lokpal, Admiral Ramdas, when he found it convenient. You love Kejriwal because you love foreign stooges who do scams.
Excellent
Mukhtar Ansari is dead.
The brother of the Ex Vice-President of INDIA.
His other brother was a contestant in the upcoming General Election.
Comment on this, Professor.
Comment on this, Karan.
Waiting to hear Arfa Khanum on this.
Where are minority rights?
Is this Liberal Democracy?
He is not. Vice President Ansari comes from an illustrious family where one of his relatives became a wayward just how you became an ignorant troll.
You forgot to add that he is a gangster too 😂
Please save India democracy Supreme Court Congress India should win insha Allah Aameen
@karan thapar @ashutosh varshney it is scary to see bjp following undemocratic means to achieve majority for democratic amendment. It will diminish the value of Indianness in the world with such outcomes
Hey hey indian youth who are watching this news please ooen your eyes and heart and think for a moment... Modi modi modi... What is gun wrong with this man... Why he has turn into a robot which is worst than an animal...updating all the currents news abt the political scenario of lok sabha election it remindd me of my late grandfather who said modi is a stoned heated man and his eyes perception and his eyes shadow on the way he looks looks is very differnt.. In the sense he has a devil eyes... Indian youths if you and i wants democracy then lets unite and bring rahul gandhi into power... He is a good man.... Love from nagaland
We bind the principalities and powers and rulers of darkness of this world we bind and cast down spiritual wickedness in high places and render them harmless and ineffective against us in Jesus name. Thank You Abba Father for fighting our battles that we can't fight and win on our own in Jesus name.
👍
How real is the defense that any comment from any outsider is dubbed as an interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state?
Dear Padmakarpati when you see yourself as a Raja in Ram Rajya or a undisputed Monarch who never even answered one question in 10 years to public ? Then the reality and norms of democratic PM thrown out the windows.
Oil bonds of MMS Ji
vrs
Electoral bonds of Modi ji.
Oil bonds issued to stabilize petrol prices due to wide fluctuations in crude prices, prior to 2014, also to control inflation spreading to other essential commodities.
Electoral bonds issued to legalise corruption for political funding, resulting in extortion, intimidation by misuse of govt agencies, also quid pro quo for donors without disclose them.
Modi critized MMS Ji for oil bonds, and regularised bribery. Oil bonds are for citizens, electoral bonds for their party elections funding. Now people decide.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now a days India is no longer democratic country ....
It's the job of responsibility of India that is us to save the democratic socialist and secular fabric of the country.... Not just the job of an India alliance
Of course.
Democracy is in the ICU.
A government must come in to save.
The Judiciary has done enough damage. The Electoral Bonds Ruling does not cut it. SC should have been more alert about the effect of its earlier partisan rulings on Constitutional amendments going forward. So much damage to Democracy.
Bring in someone like Shehzad poonawala or Dr. Anand ranganathan for the debate...!!! Can you...???
चुनाव के लिए कांग्रेस को
' जन धन दान अभियान ' की
जल्द शुरू करने की जरूरत
कांग्रेस के एक करोड सक्रीय कार्यकर्ताओं की जिम्मेदारी बन जाती है कि पार्टी को चुनाव के दौरान धन की कमी न होने पाए। अगर पार्टी के कार्यकर्ता सिर्फ 250 रूपए ही प्रति महीने अपना योगदान दें तो पार्टी को चुनाव व्यय के लिए कुछ तो राहत मिलेगी ही। कांग्रेस जन धन दान अभियान जल्द से जल्द शुरू करे।
To tackle the tag "electoral autocracy", it is taking on the "electoral" part of the tag.
"People get the govt.they deserve"--Thomas Jefferson.even more underlying cause is the peoples mandate given to a an"illitetate" and to someone who has hardly any understanding of the "constitution" . ,democracy...!
It's high time We the People of India who are Sovereign rulers of our Country start asserting our Sovereignty...
We should stop being silent spectators.
CRIMINAL ACT OF BJP AGAINST OPPOSITION.
The use or misuse, as it is feared by the citizens, of EVM by the polarized election commission cannot be ruled out either.
How can we have a liberal democracy in India when the Head of the Government repeatedly asserts that he will ensure a Congress Mukt Bharat (Congress Free India)? Congress is the only real national Opposition in this country with all its warts and wrongdoings of the past - after all it held the country together for so many years. So what Modi is saying effectively is that he wants no opposition at all. Unless Modi is removed from power the future of democracy in this country is very dark. We may end up like China or Russia or North Korea.
Remember Mr. Modi , downfall of Pakistan started with Zia ul- Haq declaring it as Islamic state..
ED & CBI should also investigate the money trail from Canada for AAP Punjab elections as revealed by Pannun .
Loti ji is too sacred to lose power that he is ensuring no opposition remains in race.
Credibility of discussers of democracy who do not like and adopt it rather hate and try to destabilize
???
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
@@mohammedmurtaza3257 Revolving around a motive till vertigo is not revolution
If BJP got the 2/3 rd majority can it amend the constitution to bring SC under its control much like Netanyahu tried in Israel?
Mr Karan can u say as to why investigations are talking years.
Already in trouble
E C is a constitutional entity why can't it stand up and perform it's business
No
And the amount of money the bjp has through its corruption is staggering
I remember commentators like Varshney coming on tv channels in 2014 and selling Modi hard.
Even now he just couldn’t collect the moral courage to call out Modi outright. He stutters and sputters when it comes to current regime.
abhigyan trying to balance the debate and trying to save his job.
Do Indians want EVM?
If Kejriwal and the Family Party had cared about democracy and ensured corruption free - Karan ji needn't have worried now.
Karan sahab, those who are cheating their own conscience by blatantly denying the truth, ie, today’s tremendous growth in the prosperity of the country, such of them are not trustworthy… they will ultimately face terrible disharmony and unbelievable pain and misery. I only hope you won’t get into that situation and before that you might change your mindset
India democracy has the end😢😢😢
What do you mean. Sepember onwards Kegrival was given 9 summons. He is bound by Constitution. Why he ignored this. Similarly why congress failed in their duty from 1917.
First put yor home in order then blame others
Weird to stand up as champions of Democracy.. then reject the Govt actions supported by Hindu Majority.. People of India have spoken they want the Hindu rastra..
Yes it’s dictatorship
I have no idea why Thapar keeps on conducting such interviews? That India has changed and that a pre-fascist era seems to have started is known. What next should be done and by what key people should be discussed. INC is still running clueless!
Reject all views expressed in the interview - Just sweeping statements no data or numbers to back any claim. All Comments can be countered point by point... Rating agencies' view about Bharat are so biased and prejudiced - we all know that...
We the people of India have ample evidence to infer that India is the mother of democracy. This electoral bond is the most important and glorious evidence. Modi had never thought that supreme court will declare this nasty scheme as unconstitutional and against national interest. Poor chap, Mr Modi, he has only one interest, that is money through power. His greed itself will finish him off
Oppositions leaders are in jail, others have jumped ship to BJP out of fear of ED and the remaining are fighting combined money power of BJP, PR machinery of BJP through Godi media, institutional power of compromised ED, CBI, IT. 2024 election is not going to be fair as it is not a level playing field. Whether it will be free depends on EVM used maliciously or not.
Kejriwal could have saved Indian Democracy / Elections Basic Structure 6 months ago by answering summons No 1...the next day.
There will always be an election round the corner.//at any given time.
vDEM rates Pakistan as a higher ranked democracy than India! wonder what their criteria of rating is and what the prof would have to say about that?
One of the useless EC team licking BJP feet
If bjp losses suddenly india became democracy 😂
Who is this Karan Thapar
@Some independece for Judiciary after EBs renderings - Well to that I say my friend - Was all scripted sent to to SCoI (like most things effecting govt.) by Billa from his basement in 50000 cr multiplex built in the heart of Delhi premium real estate annexed @height of pandemic (No body got count - how many died for that proj)
Nothing is left for lefts,please note.
Absolutely agree. But these people are centrists.
@@Kivhtasare you being for real my guy ??? They are centrist. Oh my freaking god .🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️check all their interviews they always try their guest to bad mouth centre , even if they did a good job . They always invite people who hate govt for various reason , political or personal . 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You vote for BJP, you vote for dictatorship.
It is not only the freedom of the minorities or whoever you despise that goes - You will lose your freedom too along with your family and friends.
The below will eventually apply to you too
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
The principal reason india earned so much global respect is that it is The world’s largest democracy in the vein of US Europe etc. this has now eroded under modi govt. quickly turning into a police state. Modi approach to harras, arrest and coerce the opposition is an akin to what Putin is doing to the Russian citizens…
