@@thomascromwell6840 Kushal has invited people from the other side multiple times to appear on his podcast. If they don't wanna come, it's not his problem now is it
I have been watching Kushal and Amit for a long time now... Never knew that you both were talking about doing an episode together. This episode has come as a pleasant shock and surprise. I am so happy!!!
bjp needs to be anti-islam and not anti-muslim. its confusing. the khans are jihadi and other examples are exceptions. indian muslims are toxic bcz of islam
@@thomascromwell6840 Ohhh really? So Atal Bihari Vajpayee isn't an honest man? Or any other great leaders like Nitin Gadkari, Manohar Parikar are less honest? For me BJP has produced more honest Statesman in the past 2 decades than any other political party. Congress party right now doesn't have the statesman leaders that it had in the past. Almost all of them have resigned ✌️
Because there is no such thing as anti-hindu in a Hindu majority country where Hindus are overrepresented in positions of power in the state, military, civil administration, and in the private sector. Hindus have disproportionately more wealth and higher education status. To say there's anything anti hindu in India is like PragerU calling someone anti-white for showing reality
The opposition in India will keep eating shit in the elections until they stop gatekeeping public debates and intellectual discussions. It's only polarising the masses against them. Amit is doing something important here. He's building common ground. Congrats to both him and Kushal.
Amit says putting aap mlas and congress in jail is not giod politics but when amut shah was put in jail during congress term is not to be looked into 😅
5:21:54 i think one of the fears that i as a 23 year old have but these oldies dont have is the degradation of feeling "one" with each other be it your neighbors/friends/colleagues - we might annihilate caste in its present form but the new generation is getting its mind fried with polarised media on topics that teenagers shouldn't have extreme opinions on like religion/ ethnicity wars/ nationalism. my worry is that we wont have another Kushal because his mummy today would fear him in the corner to being a believer because Nupur Sharma got death threats or Kanhaiya got murdered, and not have another Amit because his parents have normalized hijacking/taking advantage of the govt by virtue of being a part of the beauracracy.

Amit, I’ve always enjoyed your podcast (even though we don’t agree on everything). It’s great to see you break out of your comfort zone and engage with folks across the spectrum. Huge respect. Another interesting episode would be if you could invite Vikram Sampath to your show.
Why is it worth mentioning that kushal is a right winger, i mean do u judge people based on their political ideology or do u think that right wingers r walking zombies
The self-aggrandizing flex rant he goes on in the beginning is quite grating. Okay, we get it - you're incredibly smart, regimented, morally centered, well-read among other virtues. He reminds me of an entire class of privileged people I grew up with in the 90s, they strongly believed their pov is the best bar none. Also, bro Amit😂 you're such a cut above intellectually. I wonder how you made it through the parts where he gloats and gloats ...and gloats.
Haha...same thoughts. But even though Amit is definitely cut above ( a few cuts actually), it is important to engage with folks from all over the belief spectrum. I'd love to see Amit engage with Anand Ranganathan and J Sai Deepak as well.
I don't buy the 4-5hrs of reading everyday. Although agreeable on many of the opinions expressed, there's a clear lack of morality and sencerity from Kushal. One instance is where he says that he finds the term Godi media laughable. Modi has been great for 10yrs because of a single 1hr meet event. That's disconcerting. Well, not everyone can be expected to be perfect.
Godi media always existed. Even if you somehow consider the 04-14 NDTV reportage some kind of golden egg laid by liberalism, how did it miss such a supermassive undercurrent that flipped electoral fortunes for the next two decades? How is it that the media did not find a single right wing intellectual despite plenty of them being around on twitter(Sanyal, Arvind Neelakanthan, Rajiv Malhotra, Su Swamy). These guys could have been defeated then and there. But they were ignored to the point their blogs became academic works & pop culture books.
Kushal is a cultural determinist who think since you are brought up in Indian society, you must be a certain way. He doesn’t give space to plurality. All his fiasco about bickering about Atheism shows it. While he is Ok if you call yourself nashtik and start singing glories of Hindu religion.
The hypocrisy and narcissism of this man is laughable. And I don't understand why Amit Verma questioned him more thourghly? Because the things coming out of his mouth is ridiculous and can be challenged easily by any common person.
Amit verma wants to increase his reach. For that he gave him platform. That's ok but didn't give any sensible retort when he was ridiculously making stupid claims.....
@@tamberlame27 It's not so much about the specifics, they are irritated that someone like him exists. Two decades of NDTV hegemony gave them a balloon scalpel called "you have not read/traveled the west". They won't even engage with the ideas.
@@rutvikrs - you've nailed it. This should be a pinned comment. Good on Amit to call Kushal. I loved the conversation.
