How happy I am too see Mr. Shourie and even more happy to know he has produced a new book.My good wishes and prayers for his healthy,happy and long life🙏🙏
Indeed, I am so happy to see my beloved journalist Arun Shourie jee in an interview after a long time. I revere and admire him and consider him a model in ethos, ethics and exemplary life. GOD bless him and his family with good health for a long time, to enable him to write and publish inspiring books and articles
It is always a pleasure to see and hear Mr.Arun Shourie,inspite of the fact one may differ with his political ideology.His honesty,integrity as a journalist needs to be emulated.Have had the privilege of meeting him.
Arun & Karan are veterans with a gift of the gab . So delicious to listen to all the intrigue of the bygone days . Thankfully , our nation is much more open now to discuss all these incidences & events .
Delighted to see Shourie ji after a long time. One from a fast diminishing breed of patriots. May God give you a long live Shourie ji. India will not get such great persons any more.
I hv , in the many videos i hv seen, by Karan Thapar in the Wire , made (legitimately ) caustic and stinging comments. But this interview was a warm, delightful and utterly human one. Even KT is so acceptable here. The reason for this is the extraordinary human being Arun Shourie. He is a wonderful and outstanding son of our great nation. A man who has contributed to great public discourse, morality, professionalism and rare scholarship. It is a pity that he could not be made Finance Minister , not just for the excellence but for the moral and intellectual gravitas he would have brought to the job. He is perhaps the only person who could be critical of any politician but deep down each and every one of that tribe would know from the core of his or her heart that AS is way above personal prejudices and preferences. AS is a beacon that sprouts our of sheer character and spiritual depth. Such a rare gem.
What has Arun achieved except killing Indian express and selling Indian PSU to corrupt Gujarati hindus? Arun is another narender modi, all noise no substance.
at the 27- 29 minutes on video perhaps the policy of Giani as said by Tarlochan im words could be," dont hit but raise the menace of stick" When at 25 years of age I joined a job Tarlochan was my boss; I know him well. Enjoyed the anecdotes and reflections
One of the best interviews so far. Candidness and honesty of Mr Shorie are admirable. Journalists like him keep the faith in journalism alive. Thumb rules in the end really forces one to introspect. I wish you good health and joy. Cheers.
The greatest Scribe of Indipendent India Arun Shouri. 1 govt toppled, 1 big business tycoon exposed and rexcellent analysis of Pakistan's anty india and anty hindu syllabus. Congratulations Arun Shouri of our generation. You are an ultimate example of honesty and love for motherland. So many held you at gun ppint but you carried on regardless with your honesty.
Thanks Thapar for not interrupting, admire Mr. Shourie for sticking to his points across n not buying into Thapars instigation & word it differently then what Mr. Shourie intended
An absolutely Marvellous interview like taking a walk down history. This friendly chat style interview is a rare gem indeed & Arun Shourie is rarer still as a Media person of stature & integrity who speaks so openly & fearlessly. A brilliantly handled interview by Karan Thapar too.
Always, always a pleasure to listen Arun Shourie. One of the most interesting interviews that I have seen in a while. Pls do more interviews with him, he brings in a very incisive perspective on many political & economic issues.
Two of the best journalists India has ever seen. Both in a single frame, free wheeling and talking to each other about journalistic ethics and moral principles is a lesson, particularly in today's times, to all journalists, budding or otherwise, and to stick and uphold those come what may. Kudos to The Wire! Thanks a ton.
Thank you for this, @The Wire. We need more Arun Shouries in our currently decaying society. One of those rare interviews you just did not want to end. Could go on and on listening to these two gentlemen talk.
Arum is head and shoulders above Karan. Karan was trying to add masala to the stories and nobody cares about their region. Karan speaks our languages like British did.
@@nabhinayyam Grow over this British thing, they left 75 years ago. English is our language as much as Hindi and any other languages. By you logic any computer languages are sin they all come from west. What will most Indian software engineers do without them? Write code in Sanskrit?
Quite agree with you sir when you said "we must defy fate" . Thank you so much to the wire and mr. Karan Thapar sir for bringing Mr. Arun sourie 🙏🙏🙏🙏 how enlightening it was 🙏🙏🙏
This edition of Karan Thapar show was absolutely delightful . Arun Shorie has a vast repertoir of stories from Indira-Rajeev age which brings back a lot of nostalgia in a vast majority of Indians.
Wonderful to see two stalwarts of Indian journalism talking to each other! Karan must have been a bacchha journalist when Arun was already a national name. Both have served the country well. Thank you
Dirty politics, dirty politicians, dirty media, dirty intellectuals, dirty institutions, dirty business houses, still we are great. Devil rules, people's blood sucked but we write, we laugh, we enjoy still we are not privileged or too privileged to feel the pain.
I don't know why people are so blinded that they see Karan and Arun as anti national people. Sad for my country's loss. Mr. Shourie would have been a brilliant finance minister
Gianiji came close to sacking Rajiv ! Gianiji would have ended being impeached.Such was the clout of the Gandhis during those days...but this interaction evoked memories of bygone era Journalists used to be men of letters in true sense and not mere rabble rousers for TRPs
I admired him while he was Editor of Indian Express for his investigative journalism and objectivity.But his whole objectivity changed once he joined BJP in Atal's times vis a vis his commentary on Ram Janam Bhoomi.
Great Man ...Arun Shourie ....one of the tallest Intellectual of Modern India & the Best Minister India could ever get ...Its only Vajpayee Ji who could give him the opportunity to serve India through his Ministry ...otherwise Anpad / Feku will not even understand his evolved thought process ...such a shame for this so called 'Acchee Din' BJP Govt ! ........... ...my long time Idol & I have the greatest respect & Admiration for him & his life's work !!
Arun Shourie, Vinod Mehta and Khushwant Singh are possibly the best journalists India has ever produced. Journalism was the most difficult job in India in the 1970s and 80s, and these three men excelled at it. Sadly, of the three only Shourie is alive today.
People like Burkha Dutt and others should learn a lot from Arun Shkirue Ji. Despite all the domestic troubles like sickness of his wife and harassment, she and Arun faced due to court case and a sicy child , he remained a crusader, taking rhe mighty,crookedand cunning people in power.
One of my most favourite interviews till date!!!! The experiences and stories shared are marvelous and invaluable. Also, the frankness of Mr Shourie is commendable. This interview puts forth the struggles of editors and proprietors of newspapers in a subtle and light-hearted manner.
While the discussion is indeed delightful, it also is a story of sordid state of affairs under Congress rule in India since 1947- corruption, misuse of power, self serving politicians, men and women with feet of clay etc. No wonder even after 75 years of independence, we are almost where we were then! 2. Vasant Dada Patil's reference as a possible replacement for Rajeev is totally unexpected and surprising. No one in Maharashtra ever talked of this. 3. It also shows power newspaper and journalists (editors etc.) had in those days. Thankfully, this power has now much eroded due to proliferation of social media. Of course, Modi has made them irrelevant as well in the last 7 years!! 4. Good to see Arun fresh and in good health. He now seems to have picked up energy to fight Modi till 2024!! Yashwant Sinha should be happy with that.
It's always so fascinating to listen to Arun Shourie ji.
How happy I am too see Mr. Shourie and even more happy to know he has produced a new book.My good wishes and prayers for his healthy,happy and long life🙏🙏
what a great journalist.his investigative journalism is unparalleled.his stint as a minister in vajpayee's govt is worth mentioning.

It is always a pleasure to see and hear Mr.Arun Shourie,inspite of the fact one may differ with his political ideology.His honesty,integrity as a journalist needs to be emulated.Have had the privilege of meeting him.
He wrote book on fatwa as well kindly read that
Arun & Karan are veterans with a gift of the gab .
So delicious to listen to all the intrigue of the bygone days . Thankfully , our nation is much more open now to discuss all these incidences & events .
Never met Mr Shourie but always
admired
L
Great interview
Fantastic! Should be a movie of this book!
Have ordered the book already. More power to you Shourie-ji.
Arun Shourie - the only true intellectual among Indian conservatives. 🙏 So nice to see him in current times..
Delighted to see Shourie ji after a long time. One from a fast diminishing breed of patriots. May God give you a long live Shourie ji. India will not get such great persons any more.

Priceless....Mr. Arun Shourie is an institution in himself. Thank You, Team Wire.
What has Arun achieved except killing Indian express and selling Indian PSU to corrupt Gujarati hindus? Arun is another narender modi, all noise no substance.
Very interesting interview a mix of English, Hindi and Punjabi .
Congratulations to both of you.pleased to see Mr Arun after a long time.
at the 27- 29 minutes on video perhaps the policy of Giani as said by Tarlochan im words could be," dont hit but raise the menace of stick" When at 25 years of age I joined a job Tarlochan was my boss; I know him well. Enjoyed the anecdotes and reflections
I loved this honest discussions between two punjabi speaking men, who have achieved great heights.
Didn’t know Karan ji spoke Punjabi this fluently. Marvellous interview 👏🏽
Thappars are Punjabi khatris
Shourie too
Shourie is a great journalist. Truthful, honest and candid.
Two grandparents discussing their times, lovely to listen
Everyone loves to listen gossip
May Nature bless Shourie sab with health and hapiness. Karan Thapar ji an extraordinary personality in Journalism.
One of the best interviews so far. Candidness and honesty of Mr Shorie are admirable. Journalists like him keep the faith in journalism alive. Thumb rules in the end really forces one to introspect. I wish you good health and joy. Cheers.

Never heard Mr Thapar speak Punjabi before!
It was great!
Arun Shourie, what a man. A phenomenal human being. Honoured to have known him and be his friend.
Ashok Mehta.
Thanks for the candid and casual open talk between two veterans of clean journalism... which is almost extinct in the present political scenario...
🙏
I think one of the best interviews I have heard . Arun is one of the best. Today very hard to find like him
Thanks to Mr. Karan for bringing Mr. Shourie for the discussion. You have made my day👍
Incredible 👏
Tremendous class conversation, with bits of PUNJABI, THOROUGHLY enjoyed
I am very very very happy to you again ARUN SHOURIE SIR.
Always, always a pleasure to listen Arun Shourie. One of the most interesting interviews that I have seen in a while. Pls do more interviews with him, he brings in a very incisive perspective on many political & economic issues.
Brilliant 👍👍Really great information. Best wishes from Pakistan. Karan Thapar is a real gem. Journalism at its best
A very soft spoken man indeed. Had to put the speaker near my ears throughout the interview.
Two of the best journalists India has ever seen. Both in a single frame, free wheeling and talking to each other about journalistic ethics and moral principles is a lesson, particularly in today's times, to all journalists, budding or otherwise, and to stick and uphold those come what may. Kudos to The Wire! Thanks a ton.
Arun shourie: intelligent man with integrity.Oh such a rare quality
it's Imposible to get a journalist like Arun shouri in today's India.
AMAZING INTERVIEW!!!! CHAAR-AANA-GANDHI SHULD BE OUR GOAL!
‘The Commissioner for Lost Causes’,wow what a thinking Char Ana Gandhi. Salute Sir.
One of the best things I watched in a long time. AS is just brilliant
so happy to see and hear Arun Shourie ji 🙏🏽 a true legend
A real pleasure watching this session.
Always a pleasure to listen to Arun Shourie. A brilliant journalist.
Thanks!
Delightful, is the only word that come across my mind after watching this interview.

Such a class Interview far better than some actor Interviewing the pm on how he prefers to eat his mangoes.
Quite agree with you sir when you said "we must defy fate" . Thank you so much to the wire and mr. Karan Thapar sir for bringing Mr. Arun sourie 🙏🙏🙏🙏 how enlightening it was 🙏🙏🙏
Always pleasure to hear Mr.Shourie.
He is my favourite journalist ever, Mr. Shourie
Sucha. a wonderful conversation - intelligent, gritty, insightful. Such a welcome break from the tamasha that clogs the airways.
This edition of Karan Thapar show was absolutely delightful .
Arun Shorie has a vast repertoir of stories from Indira-Rajeev age which brings back a lot of nostalgia in a vast majority of Indians.
Mr Shourie's integrity is the need of an hour in today's journalism.
Great man always has a humble heart👍
Very well done KT👍👍
Admirable man .... Old school and fabulous!!
It is good to see Arun Shourie again with a lot of Guru Mantras.
It's always a privilege to listen to Arun Shourie.
Brilliant interview....inside stories, wise insights and Mr Shourie's powerful intellect....👌
Brilliant insights of our times ! Earthy. From the Sons of Soil. The human side. Thanks !
What soil ?
Sage words from one of the last of the Mohicans. Respect and Thanks!
Adorable interview with so many take aways.
Wonderful to see two stalwarts of Indian journalism talking to each other! Karan must have been a bacchha journalist when Arun was already a national name. Both have served the country well. Thank you
Salute to Arun ji
A living legend and a true example of honesty and integrity.
Dirty politics, dirty politicians, dirty media, dirty intellectuals, dirty institutions, dirty business houses, still we are great. Devil rules, people's blood sucked but we write, we laugh, we enjoy still we are not privileged or too privileged to feel the pain.
So much of Privileges and Merit! 🙌
It's clear why we didn't had any representation in the leading roles of News editors even now!
I've never seen Karan this happy and excited before.
Good to see Arun ji in good health ...Wish ing for his good health ..
Brilliant journalist and sadly almost extinct species in our country.
I don't know why people are so blinded that they see Karan and Arun as anti national people. Sad for my country's loss. Mr. Shourie would have been a brilliant finance minister
@@SandeepKulshrestha We can only hope for better times or probably may have to rise up and take action. It's getting a little too much these days
@@KrishnaKumar-ro3pz well said. Things are going out of hands now a days
Something special
Sadly yes.
Such an enjoyable conversation!! Thank you both.
A great lesson to shun mediocrity from one who has rubbed shoulders with the devious and the geniuses.
The Punjabi touch to the interview is lit! 🔥 awesome! ❤️
... " standing out alone can also change the system .. ". Impressed with the Arun Shorie's stories and experiences. 👍
Gianiji came close to sacking Rajiv ! Gianiji would have ended being impeached.Such was the clout of the Gandhis during those days...but this interaction evoked memories of bygone era Journalists used to be men of letters in true sense and not mere rabble rousers for TRPs
Good Interview unbiased interview after long time.
It's very rare to see Karan Thapar sitting quietly and listening so patiently to his guest. Unless you have Arun Shourie in front of you.
I admired him while he was Editor of Indian Express for his investigative journalism and objectivity.But his whole objectivity changed once he joined BJP in Atal's times vis a vis his commentary on Ram Janam Bhoomi.
What an amazing interview once again. It was knowledgeable and equally entertaining. Thanks Wire and Thanks Karan Thapar.
Great Man ...Arun Shourie ....one of the tallest Intellectual of Modern India & the Best Minister India could ever get ...Its only Vajpayee Ji who could give him the opportunity to serve India through his Ministry ...otherwise Anpad / Feku will not even understand his evolved thought process ...such a shame for this so called 'Acchee Din' BJP Govt ! ........... ...my long time Idol & I have the greatest respect & Admiration for him & his life's work !!
Good to see him hale and hearty.
Karan Thapar did a 40 minute interview with Arun Shourie on The Wire without once mentioning Modi!
no one in right mind thinks about that liar ....
Why bring that MANHOOS in this?
Arun Shourie, Vinod Mehta and Khushwant Singh are possibly the best journalists India has ever produced. Journalism was the most difficult job in India in the 1970s and 80s, and these three men excelled at it. Sadly, of the three only Shourie is alive today.
OMG! Simply marvellous and hilarious. These two intellectual giants are also pride of the people and most people love them.
Huge respect for Arun ji 🙏
People like Burkha Dutt and others should learn a lot from Arun Shkirue Ji. Despite all the domestic troubles like sickness of his wife and harassment, she and Arun faced due to court case and a sicy child , he remained a crusader, taking rhe mighty,crookedand cunning people in power.
Respect for Arun was evident as Karan was listening...
See how legendary this interview has turned out.
Only reason: Karan let the guest speak.
I loved shourie speaking.
One of my most favourite interviews till date!!!! The experiences and stories shared are marvelous and invaluable. Also, the frankness of Mr Shourie is commendable. This interview puts forth the struggles of editors and proprietors of newspapers in a subtle and light-hearted manner.
Yet the same zail Singh who said I will sweep the floor bid Indira Gandhi asks me to.
Always a joy to listen to Arun Shourie! If only if he had a podcast
Karan, I wish your cameraman had the tact to keep the camera on you when Arun had to use his handkerchief.😊
The editor should have switched the scene.
That adds to the down to earth raga of the interview.
Love your interviews a great deal Mr. Thapar but PLEASE do something about the horrid sound quality.
Wonderful Interview Karan Shourie is disarmingly frank.
Very nice interview . Salute both the great figure & fighter ...wonderful...... maza aa gaya.....
what a great man shourie is. i still remember his THE WORLD OF FATWAs book. its incredible in its depth and erudition.
I have never ever seen Karan laugh so much 🙄🤔
While the discussion is indeed delightful, it also is a story of sordid state of affairs under Congress rule in India since 1947- corruption, misuse of power, self serving politicians, men and women with feet of clay etc. No wonder even after 75 years of independence, we are almost where we were then!
2. Vasant Dada Patil's reference as a possible replacement for Rajeev is totally unexpected and surprising. No one in Maharashtra ever talked of this.
3. It also shows power newspaper and journalists (editors etc.) had in those days. Thankfully, this power has now much eroded due to proliferation of social media. Of course, Modi has made them irrelevant as well in the last 7 years!!
4. Good to see Arun fresh and in good health. He now seems to have picked up energy to fight Modi till 2024!! Yashwant Sinha should be happy with that.
4 takke ke zhooti aur nalayak bhartiya joomlebaz party.....
What a wonderful interview!
Very happy to see Arun Shourie jee .
Good & nice interview.
I wish & hope today’s journalist learn from Karan Thapar at lest 5%.
WOW NICE TO SEE THAT ARUN JI IS IS WELL NOW
What a wonderful interview!!!
What a wonderful conversation indeed. Looking forward to read the book soon
The system should change to give them the security they need by standing up to the system - banner to be put on all over media house.
Wao!!! So much to learn from this guy Shourie!!!!
