As an Indian iam happy that advani has been given the Bharat Ratna. Bjp is a party with difference because advani endorsed vajpayee as a PM but opposed vajpayee when he wanted to remove Modi as Gujarat CM but the same advani opposed Modi being projected as PM candidate of BJP in 2014 elections.
In the pre-independence era, Congress had a track record of opposing Brithisers while Hindu Mahasbha and the Muslim League were champions of Britishers. No public rally against British rule was conducted exclusively by Hindu Mahasbha for the independence of India. In Fact, both Hindu MahaSbha and the Muslim League joined hands and passed a resolution in the Sindh provisional assembly for the creation of Pakistan. Congress is on record to oppose this resolution. Please stop reading History from WharsApp University.
Really? Did Advani fight against Indira Nehru. Then what did the great Jayapraksh Narayan, Morarji Desai George Fernandes do? BJP was not even formed when Nehru was there.
@pardeeptandon congress was put in place by the british, just to lead the freedom movement. How was nehru and gandhi were airdropped into congress and got prominence ? Brits would talk to them and occasionally give into the silly demands of them, which putcthe duo on a pedestal. And they were very astute in sidelining leaders like bose. Anyway, congress was an organisation worked for independence. It has nothing to do with today's congress party.
Mr. Advani deserves the award Bharat Ratna even if a different party were in power. He has helped to raise Indian consciousness and pride in their history, traditions, and indigenous religion and to stand up for them. He has helped move India away from the clutches of a single party dominance despite its blunders. But, that does not mean that he could lead the nation as its PM, and that is primarily due the fact that he is also seen as quite divisive, too brash, and not placing the level of importance needed to a 'win-win' attitude. His pushing Hindi is not well received either nationally.
There's no doubt, Advani and Vajpayee have been among the tallest and finest political leaders, we have ever had! One may agree or disagree with their political views and approaches, but there's nothing to take away the due credit that belongs to them! A strong and sustaining opposition for a democracy is where the journey started!
It was VP Singh who has been called as the worst PM by SG many a times who forced Advani's hand to launch the mandir movement. The decisions taken by our PMs in the eighties impacting Mandal and mandir still resonates even after nearly 4 decades.
Mandal gave rise to kamandal, Mandal and kamandal together is hindutva of bjp, no caste discrimination, upliftment of lower and oppressed classes and civilizational revival of India
L K Advani made Ram Mandir possible. The Ayodhya Ram Temple is a symbol of wider Hindu unity and justice over historical wrongs committed toward Hindus of the subcontinent. Advani did his part. The "moye moye" it is causing to the Left-Libs is an added benefit esp in the environment of Burnol shortage. In my view, even without the Jinnah comment, Advani was too old and by 2009. BJP needs to factor this when it is looking for a Modi successor.
For various reasons, Congress significantly contributed to the construction of the Ram Mandir, more so than the BJP. The construction aligns with the Constitution of India, which was provided by Congress. Meanwhile, the Hindu Mahasabha and Brahmins of RSS publicly burned copies of this constitution in the streets of Delhi. This constitution prohibited altering the status of any place of worship after August 15, 1947, except for the Ram Mandir, the fate of which would be determined by the Supreme Court. Today, the Mandir stands as a result of the Supreme Court's interpretation of our constitution, not due to the actions of the Brahmins of RSS or the BJP. The Shila Niwas was initiated by the Congress PM of India, Rajiv Gandhi. Furthermore, it was the Congress government that presented a weak case against those responsible for demolishing the Babri Masjid, allowing them to evade punishment. The Mandir's construction was funded by all Hindus. Moreover, it was NIHANG SIKHS who, in 1858, had done the first Havan in honour of lord Ram inside Babri Masjid, and an FIR was also registered against 25 of them. At that stage, nobody from any Hindu organization had demanded that Ram Mandir be constructed. Today, we should give Sikhs the credit of Ram Mandir more than any Brahmin. Of course, Brahmins of RSS did the land scam in its construction.
@@pardeeptandon Credit to the Nihang sikhs - a big yes. Credit to the present Sonia led congress - a big NO. Besides, the constitution wasn't given by the congress. It was given by the british, debated upon by all parties, and finally drafted by Ambedkar, a non-congressman. And no, if not for the political pressure created by thw BJP, the SC would not have passed a judgement so clearly in favour of the Ram mandir. The court is impartial only in theory, in reality their judgements are influenced by the mood of the nation. This is evident in multiple judgements passed over the last 70 years
@@vineetmishra2690: What you say is partially correct. But it would be best if you accepted it was primarily Congress leaders who Indianised the constitution and adopted it. To that extent, credit should be given to them and not to Racist Manuwadi Brahmins of RSS / Hindu Mahasbha who had opposed it becoming the law of the land.

Advani did not unite Hindus. He united only upper caste men and few OBC's. Modi ji united all caste Hindus plus the youth and Gen Z. Today we call us Hindus first and very proudly. Modi ji 2024 🕉️🇮🇳
No, Advani Did whatever he could to Fight against Caste Politics, But he wasn't a New Figure so that People would give him One Chance,Modi demolished Caste Politics One Becoz people gave him a Chance to prove himself for once and The second is what he did in Gujarat
I will remember Mr. Advani for one thing, post mandal card of VP the country was razing, it was probably the biggest strife after the partition. Mr. Advani's effort to unite the country on the name of Ram. Most of the nations on this planet are bound by language, whereas India unites the basis of Ram and Ramayan. Advani poured the water on the fire lit by VP and that was a game changer in India's polity. There will always a pre Mandal-Mandir Indian politics and a post one.
These kind of people never supported Advani, when he was in politics. Now they praise him, not because they like him, but to defame Modi.. These kind of people will praise modi, when he leaves politics
Advanji was BJP Prime minister candidate. BJP got 117 seats less than 2004.Advanji took BJP from 2 to 119 seats. Modi took BJP from 119 seats to 282 seats.
Wonderful by shekar guptha. LK ji is a right person to get Bharat ratana. Mr.shekar forget to told about his honesty. When LK ji named in hawala case throw his Mp and he told that I will not contest mp until proved my honesty. You say how many people are LK ji?. Too much honesty lead end his political career. Example to praise Jinnah and he told what o am told Told. Rembered for long time Indian politics. Long live LK ji.
Advanijee never hankered after political power, unlike other of his contemporaries. He IS INDEED A GREAT MAN and PRINCIPLED politicians, a rare GEM in mid-21st Century politics.Finally, he is indeed the FATHER-FIGURE for modern BJP, and the CHIEF ARCHITECT for its evolutionary Success in modern times

Praising Jinnah and calling him secular during Pakistan tour on whom once he had attempted assassination before partition..is the end of Advani's career in politics. But he is thoroughly gentle and non corrupt politician India has ever seen..
Despite of Advaniji’ immense contributions to the party, BJP wouldn’t have come to power in 2014, if Advaniji were PM projected face.That means his ambition becoming PM would have been remained as it is.
Shekhar criticized Advani ji more than he praised him in this program ....that aired almost immediately after Advani ji received the highest civilian award in India! That's how "neutral" Shekhar is. Come on, give the man his dues after receiving the award you cannot even dream of receiving!
As long as congress doesn’t control Center any BJP leader is ok. All have flaws but congress leaders are not Indian, not Hindus then they can’t rule India
He didn’t lose out on his ambition. He followed the party principle. Shekar, you are not used to understanding this type of ideology driven politics ☺️☺️ He mentored modi and modi didn’t usurp his position
I have been an Advani fan all my life, even today. But there was a time when new people have to take over the party and give it a firm direction which Modi did. That's why Modi did what's needed then and it's good Government listed to millions like us now to honour Advani which should have been done before conferring the honour on Panabda. Any way a wrong stands corrected now. Better late than never. May Lord Ram bless Advaniji with good health for making temple possible.
Advani ji will be remember for his organisation skills, keeping strong opposition against congress, nurturing new leadership including Jaitly, sushma, promod Mahajan, Modi ji but his remarks about Jinnah as secular in his Karachi visit really upsetted me.🙏
Thanks Gupta ji for this video. I got a new view and new information about what happened between 2009 and 2012 when Mr. Parrikar proposed the name of Mr. Narendra Modi as PM candidate for 2014 general election.
Advani in the end was a confused person. Not only going against the Indo-US nuclear deal which was just a continuation of his own party's US policy, when in power, but also calling Jinnah secular and everyone else pseudo-secular. His party paid the price in 2009 and so did he.
Lk Advani was the most impactful leader of the post-emergency era that rose to prominence nationally. A person from a sindhi background and a journalist by profession who came to india after partition entered into the muddied waters of municipal politics in delhi. He was the one who abandoned the gandhian socialism of vajpayee and transitioned the party into a savarkarite outfit. The party's organisational mobilisation and ideological conviction is credited to him. His rath yatra though left behind a trail of riots catapulted the party into the mainstream. He held important portfolios during the vajpayee's prime ministership like the home ministry and information and broadcasting ministry. He was deputy prime minister twice. Though the critics accuse him of cleaving the society and polarising the electorate he still had a deep imprint on the evolution of the nation. But his positive comments on Jinnah and call for reconciliation with pakistan led to loss of ground within the party. That culminated when Modi was on the ascent. He receded to the background. But his legacy still remains.
16:30 this is all about sudheendra Kulkarni chameleon who later became Rahul Gandhi’s advisor , probably Prabhu chawla and may be even his own daughter
Apart from managing GOI bw 1999 and 2004 and most successful Rath Yatra in 1991 ___ What exactly has Advani done--- for the Party, and the growth, spread, strengthening of Hindutva --- like Amit Shah did ?? Advani was enjoying power and reluctant to give it away He thought he deserved PM. __ but this is against the Basic principles of RSS BJP . At the end of day he is just a Karyakarta. Like Modi ji is . Nothing more. To convert BJP into a different sub sections of different coteries is very Congress like. Bw 2004 and 2013 ,he actually DAMAGED the Party . His retirement would have strengthened the Party . Instead of having a vision that there can be born or arise other men -- once in a life time event like of Modi ji, Advani was clouded by his past successes -- that he himself is the man --+ without realising he is already 80 years old and still in opposition and has LOST his mojo, the attraction.
The Bharat Ratna is a consolation prize for LK Advani. He wanted to be the PM but will never be; so the ones who derailed his ambition gave him the Bharat Ratna to pacify him before he kicks the bucket.
No one remembered Advani on Jan 22 2024. Not Modi. Not the BJP Leadership. Not the mainstream media to say the least. Ironically, the comments section is today full of his supporters praising him as the original architect of the Ram Mandir movement. Life is strange 😪
In the Sindh provisional assembly, Hindu Mahasbha and the Muslim League had jointly passed a resolution for the creation of Pakistan. Congress had opposed this resolution. Adani is a Sindhi and knows this fact.
Advani laid the foundations of a castless Hindu society, Modi took it to the distant corners of the country, while the seldom acknowledged warriors like J Sai Deepak, Harsh Madhusudan, Saniyal, Sampath, AIM, Ranganathan countered and fought the LEFT tooth and nail to make the much-maligned faith "cool" to millennials and GenZ. It is still a work-in-progress, and many problems exist, but the future of Hindu unity looks bright. At least, a stong liberal-progressive Hindu order has been ESTABLISHED.
This was really a great description about Advani. I don't think, people should get Bharat Ratna for creating a party. H has not done any grest work as HM and was not a good Administrator too. However, when Rajiv Gandhi can get Bharat Ratna or even Sachin can get Bharat Ratna then Advani was as deserving as Rajiv Gandhi.
@@srihari_g Achchha. First of all, Hindus were united by Shankaracharya, Tulsidas,Vivekananda and not by some Aira Gaira Politician or some party or some leader, be it be BJP or Congress leader or for that matter any king. So have your facts correct. He reignited Hinduness in Hinduism? Are you serious? What he did was one of the most unHindu thing. What he did was done by Abrahmic religions, not by Hindus. About being an unapologetic Hindu. My father is a devoted Hindu and he is vegetarian too. Do all Upwas but I never heard him saying that he was an apologetic Hindu anytime in his life? I have not met anyone who said that they were apologetic Hindu anytime in der life. I think you and whom you know are apologetic Hindus earlier and now only becoming unapologetic. May be bcz you are part of those goons who does Hurdagai in Kanwar Yatra. Even Nehru, who was by all means not a practicing Hindu, didn't say that. At least read his Bharat Ek Khoj and you will see how proud he is of Bharatiya History. The problem with you is, you don't read anything credible, don't get your knowledge from any genuine source and do what the Propaganda of a party or organisation is.
@@BharatThatIsIndiait's not just about hindutva, he had great part in changing the political arena of the country. He needs to be recognised just for that. The political changes in India happened under modi, but advani is one of few who sowed the seed for it.

Dont agree. Advani Sir sidelined since corporates sided with Modi. As simple as that. Money power silences all ethics, rules, faithfulness, gratefulness and loyality.
For someone like LK Advani who had spent seven decades in politics, it was but natural to take a last shot at the highest executive job of the country. It is a flaw which almost all politicians have. I suspect that very often, Advani became the fall guy for Vajpayee's mistakes. His autobiography is one of the most candid books I have read.
Advaniji is much much much much....... much more deserving and better choice than, Nehru and Rajiv combined (Indira can still be deserving despite her many flaws) for Bharath Ratna. In fact Bharath Ratna got a Ratna in the form of Advaniji.
2/2 (High and Low) of LK Advani's political decisions! Highs... leading Ram Rath Yatra and resurrecting BJP. Lows.... praising Jinnah, not stepping down following 2009 general election debacle.
Shekharji, You have missed out on The Rath Yatra organised by Advaniji in 1992 which culminated in the demolition of the Babri Majid. This historic milestone in his career set in pace the rise of the strident Hindu religion-centric BJP. It also set in motion a series of terrorist attacks and communal incidents which resulted in huge loss of life and property. The families of those who lost their loved ones would feel a deep sense of anguish today on the Bharat Ratna award. Please see Advaniji's interview with Pronoy Roy aired in 2000 on the demolition.
LKAdvani May not become the PM to this country but his Achievements in indian politics will ever be a "LEGITIMATE HISTORY". According to me LK Advani ji is like Lord Krishna to me in Mahabharatha where Dharma raju was made king to Akhand Bharath like wise LK ADVANI ji Made ATAL ji has mad prime minister by LK Advaani and also he encouraged Narendra Modi When he is facing tough times and Advani ji Produced a All time best PRIME Minister to this great country BHARATH in the form of NARENDRA MODI.I believe MR.LK ADVANIji's Political life is best and incredible life in india better thananyone in this country.Advani Is Really A real hero of this great BHARATH he has given all time democratic future to this country BHARATH by Establishing BHARATEEYA JANATHA PARTY and finally his life and his achievements are INCREDIBLE also OUTRAGEOUS.
Love him or hate him... You'd never ignore him....He made mistakes like any human being...like now Modi making several mistakes but ate ignored...but this doesn't take away the Genius of him....God bless him good healthy life whatever is left to him.
13th February 2024 = Creation of BJP , was one of the biggest moments in the history of independent India. The credits mostly goes to Shri Lal Krishna Advani ji. 🔥
You missed a lot,Sudhendu kulkarni a left mole was planted mole in bjp as an advisisor of advani, who has systemically dimished advanis image and political carrier.
Advani has changed the face of Indian politics which would be materialised when BJP/ NDA winning the elections on their own in 1998. Since then the face of Indian politics have changed. Now we are seeing it’s new complete face in Modi era
SGji... Love from Assam.. You have written on the basis of your interactions with Vajpayee that he was "the favourite politician of any political journalist" How would you contrast LK Advani with Vajpayee? Your point about Advani being open to critics is well taken.. I recently watched an old 1991 interview of LK Advani that he gave to Karan Thapar Also please share your views on his remarks on Jinnah... I remember him making some strange comments during UPA1
For once Sekhar Gupta has come out of his crease and played a bold shot in political journalism. This is a remarkably forthright opinion expressed by Sekhar in his equally long career of watchful journalism.

As an Indian iam happy that advani has been given the Bharat Ratna. Bjp is a party with difference because advani endorsed vajpayee as a PM but opposed vajpayee when he wanted to remove Modi as Gujarat CM but the same advani opposed Modi being projected as PM candidate of BJP in 2014 elections.
Advani fought against the dictatorship of Indira neharu , and ended the British established Congress party dominance.
In the pre-independence era, Congress had a track record of opposing Brithisers while Hindu Mahasbha and the Muslim League were champions of Britishers. No public rally against British rule was conducted exclusively by Hindu Mahasbha for the independence of India. In Fact, both Hindu MahaSbha and the Muslim League joined hands and passed a resolution in the Sindh provisional assembly for the creation of Pakistan. Congress is on record to oppose this resolution. Please stop reading History from WharsApp University.
@@pardeeptandon I guess Nehru opposing by having a affair with edvina mount batten
Really? Did Advani fight against Indira Nehru. Then what did the great Jayapraksh Narayan, Morarji Desai George Fernandes do? BJP was not even formed when Nehru was there.
@pardeeptandon congress was put in place by the british, just to lead the freedom movement. How was nehru and gandhi were airdropped into congress and got prominence ? Brits would talk to them and occasionally give into the silly demands of them, which putcthe duo on a pedestal. And they were very astute in sidelining leaders like bose. Anyway, congress was an organisation worked for independence. It has nothing to do with today's congress party.
@@Shivakumar-td4czot was jansangh and later janata party
Thank you Advaniji, you have done your part extremely well.
Mr. Advani deserves the award Bharat Ratna even if a different party were in power. He has helped to raise Indian consciousness and pride in their history, traditions, and indigenous religion and to stand up for them. He has helped move India away from the clutches of a single party dominance despite its blunders. But, that does not mean that he could lead the nation as its PM, and that is primarily due the fact that he is also seen as quite divisive, too brash, and not placing the level of importance needed to a 'win-win' attitude. His pushing Hindi is not well received either nationally.
Here is a great man stood from starting to finish his goal during his life time.
There's no doubt, Advani and Vajpayee have been among the tallest and finest political leaders, we have ever had! One may agree or disagree with their political views and approaches, but there's nothing to take away the due credit that belongs to them! A strong and sustaining opposition for a democracy is where the journey started!
It was VP Singh who has been called as the worst PM by SG many a times who forced Advani's hand to launch the mandir movement. The decisions taken by our PMs in the eighties impacting Mandal and mandir still resonates even after nearly 4 decades.
Mandal gave rise to kamandal,
Mandal and kamandal together is hindutva of bjp, no caste discrimination, upliftment of lower and oppressed classes and civilizational revival of India

Just on the economic front, he was the best, who created the REAL middle class which is BJP's core vote group now.
L K Advani made Ram Mandir possible. The Ayodhya Ram Temple is a symbol of wider Hindu unity and justice over historical wrongs committed toward Hindus of the subcontinent. Advani did his part. The "moye moye" it is causing to the Left-Libs is an added benefit esp in the environment of Burnol shortage. In my view, even without the Jinnah comment, Advani was too old and by 2009. BJP needs to factor this when it is looking for a Modi successor.
For various reasons, Congress significantly contributed to the construction of the Ram Mandir, more so than the BJP. The construction aligns with the Constitution of India, which was provided by Congress. Meanwhile, the Hindu Mahasabha and Brahmins of RSS publicly burned copies of this constitution in the streets of Delhi. This constitution prohibited altering the status of any place of worship after August 15, 1947, except for the Ram Mandir, the fate of which would be determined by the Supreme Court. Today, the Mandir stands as a result of the Supreme Court's interpretation of our constitution, not due to the actions of the Brahmins of RSS or the BJP. The Shila Niwas was initiated by the Congress PM of India, Rajiv Gandhi.
Furthermore, it was the Congress government that presented a weak case against those responsible for demolishing the Babri Masjid, allowing them to evade punishment. The Mandir's construction was funded by all Hindus. Moreover, it was NIHANG SIKHS who, in 1858, had done the first Havan in honour of lord Ram inside Babri Masjid, and an FIR was also registered against 25 of them. At that stage, nobody from any Hindu organization had demanded that Ram Mandir be constructed. Today, we should give Sikhs the credit of Ram Mandir more than any Brahmin. Of course, Brahmins of RSS did the land scam in its construction.
@@pardeeptandon Good joke 🤣 Continue selling this "Churan"
@@pardeeptandon Credit to the Nihang sikhs - a big yes. Credit to the present Sonia led congress - a big NO. Besides, the constitution wasn't given by the congress. It was given by the british, debated upon by all parties, and finally drafted by Ambedkar, a non-congressman. And no, if not for the political pressure created by thw BJP, the SC would not have passed a judgement so clearly in favour of the Ram mandir. The court is impartial only in theory, in reality their judgements are influenced by the mood of the nation. This is evident in multiple judgements passed over the last 70 years
@@vineetmishra2690: What you say is partially correct. But it would be best if you accepted it was primarily Congress leaders who Indianised the constitution and adopted it. To that extent, credit should be given to them and not to Racist Manuwadi Brahmins of RSS / Hindu Mahasbha who had opposed it becoming the law of the land.

Advani did not unite Hindus. He united only upper caste men and few OBC's. Modi ji united all caste Hindus plus the youth and Gen Z. Today we call us Hindus first and very proudly. Modi ji 2024 🕉️🇮🇳
Correct
I think the role of J Saideepak, Harsh Madhusudan, Saniyal, Sampath, AIM etc should also be acknowledged for Hindu unity.
So true
advani laid the foundation he found out modi he stood by him in 2002
No, Advani Did whatever he could to Fight against Caste Politics, But he wasn't a New Figure so that People would give him One Chance,Modi demolished Caste Politics One Becoz people gave him a Chance to prove himself for once and The second is what he did in Gujarat
I will remember Mr. Advani for one thing, post mandal card of VP the country was razing, it was probably the biggest strife after the partition. Mr. Advani's effort to unite the country on the name of Ram. Most of the nations on this planet are bound by language, whereas India unites the basis of Ram and Ramayan. Advani poured the water on the fire lit by VP and that was a game changer in India's polity. There will always a pre Mandal-Mandir Indian politics and a post one.
SG ji Appreciate you giving due credit to Mr L K Adwani. This was one of the more balanced (View) episode
These kind of people never supported Advani, when he was in politics. Now they praise him, not because they like him, but to defame Modi.. These kind of people will praise modi, when he leaves politics
Advanji was BJP Prime minister candidate. BJP got 117 seats less than 2004.Advanji took BJP from 2 to 119 seats. Modi took BJP from 119 seats to 282 seats.
Wonderful by shekar guptha. LK ji is a right person to get Bharat ratana. Mr.shekar forget to told about his honesty. When LK ji named in hawala case throw his Mp and he told that I will not contest mp until proved my honesty. You say how many people are LK ji?. Too much honesty lead end his political career. Example to praise Jinnah and he told what o am told Told. Rembered for long time Indian politics. Long live LK ji.
SG made this a sad man’s parade for Advaniji. He manages to praise in a roundabout fashion.
Advanijee never hankered after political power, unlike other of his contemporaries. He IS INDEED A GREAT MAN and PRINCIPLED politicians, a rare GEM in mid-21st Century politics.Finally, he is indeed the FATHER-FIGURE for modern BJP, and the CHIEF ARCHITECT for its evolutionary Success in modern times
He is a great human being he lost his personal ambitions for national interest
Is mixing religion with politics in the National interest?

Narendra Modi, Amit Shah sidelined Advani and not considered him even for President post but Advani ji is the real architect of BJP 's rise.
The main thing for advani removal is he praised jinna at Pakistan
Age & better person to lead BJP was there!!!
Praising Jinnah and calling him secular during Pakistan tour on whom once he had attempted assassination before partition..is the end of Advani's career in politics. But he is thoroughly gentle and non corrupt politician India has ever seen..
Despite of Advaniji’ immense contributions to the party, BJP wouldn’t have come to power in 2014, if Advaniji were PM projected face.That means his ambition becoming PM would have been remained as it is.
One of the best National Interest episodes
Shekhar criticized Advani ji more than he praised him in this program ....that aired almost immediately after Advani ji received the highest civilian award in India! That's how "neutral" Shekhar is. Come on, give the man his dues after receiving the award you cannot even dream of receiving!
As long as congress doesn’t control Center any BJP leader is ok. All have flaws but congress leaders are not Indian, not Hindus then they can’t rule India
He didn’t lose out on his ambition. He followed the party principle. Shekar, you are not used to understanding this type of ideology driven politics ☺️☺️
He mentored modi and modi didn’t usurp his position
This is what the media with Congress lenses aka Congress honored "ratnas" of Media see as.
I have been an Advani fan all my life, even today. But there was a time when new people have to take over the party and give it a firm direction which Modi did. That's why Modi did what's needed then and it's good Government listed to millions like us now to honour Advani which should have been done before conferring the honour on Panabda. Any way a wrong stands corrected now. Better late than never. May Lord Ram bless Advaniji with good health for making temple possible.
Advani ji will be remember for his organisation skills, keeping strong opposition against congress, nurturing new leadership including Jaitly, sushma, promod Mahajan, Modi ji but his remarks about Jinnah as secular in his Karachi visit really upsetted me.🙏
As per my view he should have been made president of India and he deserve Bharath Ratna
Accurate commentary on a Sindhi who initiated a historic correction in the destiny of Bharat.
Thanks Gupta ji for this video. I got a new view and new information about what happened between 2009 and 2012 when Mr. Parrikar proposed the name of Mr. Narendra Modi as PM candidate for 2014 general election.
Advani in the end was a confused person. Not only going against the Indo-US nuclear deal which was just a continuation of his own party's US policy, when in power, but also calling Jinnah secular and everyone else pseudo-secular. His party paid the price in 2009 and so did he.
I really like that Shekhar is showing off his Montblanc Starwalker, also Shekhar, your Omega Constellation (quartz?) looks better on video.
Very well said Mr Sidharth
No one in today's politics can rule like Raja harishchandra....
Advani is the most deserving Bharat Ratna among politicians. He is architect of modern India
Advani's praise of Jinnah finished his political career.
Nation > party > individual
Lk Advani was the most impactful leader of the post-emergency era that rose to prominence nationally. A person from a sindhi background and a journalist by profession who came to india after partition entered into the muddied waters of municipal politics in delhi. He was the one who abandoned the gandhian socialism of vajpayee and transitioned the party into a savarkarite outfit. The party's organisational mobilisation and ideological conviction is credited to him. His rath yatra though left behind a trail of riots catapulted the party into the mainstream. He held important portfolios during the vajpayee's prime ministership like the home ministry and information and broadcasting ministry. He was deputy prime minister twice. Though the critics accuse him of cleaving the society and polarising the electorate he still had a deep imprint on the evolution of the nation. But his positive comments on Jinnah and call for reconciliation with pakistan led to loss of ground within the party. That culminated when Modi was on the ascent. He receded to the background. But his legacy still remains.
Advaniji had BIG impact /contribution for temple build.
He deserved Bharat ratna for sure. Thanks Modiji. One aspect of Advani weak poor judgement was praise of Jinnah in Karachi.
16:30 this is all about sudheendra Kulkarni chameleon who later became Rahul Gandhi’s advisor , probably Prabhu chawla and may be even his own daughter
Why is The Print getting funding from INC subsidiaries ?
Apart from managing GOI bw 1999 and 2004 and most successful Rath Yatra in 1991 ___ What exactly has Advani done--- for the Party, and the growth, spread, strengthening of Hindutva --- like Amit Shah did ??
Advani was enjoying power and reluctant to give it away
He thought he deserved PM.
__ but this is against the Basic principles of RSS BJP .
At the end of day he is just a Karyakarta. Like Modi ji is .
Nothing more.
To convert BJP into a different sub sections of different coteries is very Congress like.
Bw 2004 and 2013 ,he actually DAMAGED the Party .
His retirement would have strengthened the Party .
Instead of having a vision that there can be born or arise other men -- once in a life time event like of Modi ji, Advani was clouded by his past successes -- that he himself is the man --+ without realising he is already 80 years old and still in opposition and has LOST his mojo, the attraction.
People who knew him at close quarters say that he was a fine human being.
Sudheendra Kulkarni is one who played a significant role in downfall of Advani
The Bharat Ratna is a consolation prize for LK Advani. He wanted to be the PM but will never be; so the ones who derailed his ambition gave him the Bharat Ratna to pacify him before he kicks the bucket.
The phenomenal rise of modiji could not be stopped.
A Star can never be hidden
No one remembered Advani on Jan 22 2024. Not Modi. Not the BJP Leadership. Not the mainstream media to say the least.
Ironically, the comments section is today full of his supporters praising him as the original architect of the Ram Mandir movement.
Life is strange 😪
In just 10 days of consecration, Modi govt announced Bharat Ratna to Advani. This is the perfect timing to honour Architect of BJP & Rath Yatra.
I remember once Advani said that jinnah was secular. It ended his career.
In the Sindh provisional assembly, Hindu Mahasbha and the Muslim League had jointly passed a resolution for the creation of Pakistan. Congress had opposed this resolution. Adani is a Sindhi and knows this fact.
Advani should have got Bharat Ratna along with Vajpayee in 2015
Advani ji lost but his disciple (Modi ji) delivered everything and more he ever wished.
Advani laid the foundations of a castless Hindu society, Modi took it to the distant corners of the country, while the seldom acknowledged warriors like J Sai Deepak, Harsh Madhusudan, Saniyal, Sampath, AIM, Ranganathan countered and fought the LEFT tooth and nail to make the much-maligned faith "cool" to millennials and GenZ. It is still a work-in-progress, and many problems exist, but the future of Hindu unity looks bright. At least, a stong liberal-progressive Hindu order has been ESTABLISHED.
English speaking ppl are irrelevant
Bullshit
This was really a great description about Advani.
I don't think, people should get Bharat Ratna for creating a party. H has not done any grest work as HM and was not a good Administrator too.
However, when Rajiv Gandhi can get Bharat Ratna or even Sachin can get Bharat Ratna then Advani was as deserving as Rajiv Gandhi.
@@srihari_g Achchha.
First of all, Hindus were united by Shankaracharya, Tulsidas,Vivekananda and not by some Aira Gaira Politician or some party or some leader, be it be BJP or Congress leader or for that matter any king. So have your facts correct.
He reignited Hinduness in Hinduism? Are you serious? What he did was one of the most unHindu thing. What he did was done by Abrahmic religions, not by Hindus.
About being an unapologetic Hindu. My father is a devoted Hindu and he is vegetarian too. Do all Upwas but I never heard him saying that he was an apologetic Hindu anytime in his life?
I have not met anyone who said that they were apologetic Hindu anytime in der life.
I think you and whom you know are apologetic Hindus earlier and now only becoming unapologetic. May be bcz you are part of those goons who does Hurdagai in Kanwar Yatra.
Even Nehru, who was by all means not a practicing Hindu, didn't say that.
At least read his Bharat Ek Khoj and you will see how proud he is of Bharatiya History.
The problem with you is, you don't read anything credible, don't get your knowledge from any genuine source and do what the Propaganda of a party or organisation is.
@@BharatThatIsIndiait's not just about hindutva, he had great part in changing the political arena of the country. He needs to be recognised just for that. The political changes in India happened under modi, but advani is one of few who sowed the seed for it.

For someone like LK Advani who had spent seven decades in politics, it was but natural to take a last shot at the highest executive job of the country. It is a flaw which almost all politicians have. I suspect that very often, Advani became the fall guy for Vajpayee's mistakes. His autobiography is one of the most candid books I have read.
respect to you as a journalist...
Love the Mont Blanc Fountain Pen in your hand! Please take care not to drop it LOL.
One and the only Modiji deserves the accolades for Ram Mandir .Nothing less and nothing more . Jai Shree Ram .
Advaniji is much much much much....... much more deserving and better choice than, Nehru and Rajiv combined (Indira can still be deserving despite her many flaws) for Bharath Ratna. In fact Bharath Ratna got a Ratna in the form of Advaniji.
Advani lost PM position and won Bharath Ratna. Great achievement.
Fantastic introspection on Advani, just superb.
Would like to hear a comparison between advani, bajpayee, modi and amit shah and your rating on them.
Mr. Gupta has strong opinions about Mr. Advani!
2/2 (High and Low) of LK Advani's political decisions! Highs... leading Ram Rath Yatra and resurrecting BJP. Lows.... praising Jinnah, not stepping down following 2009 general election debacle.

Lal Krishna Advani
Desh ke dilo Kurbaani😂
Sorry you didnot capture why he lost support inside BJP and even when he knew in 2014 that it was Modi time his actions were to make himself PM
Shekharji,
You have missed out on The Rath Yatra organised by Advaniji in 1992 which culminated in the demolition of the Babri Majid. This historic milestone in his career set in pace the rise of the strident Hindu religion-centric BJP. It also set in motion a series of terrorist attacks and communal incidents which resulted in huge loss of life and property. The families of those who lost their loved ones would feel a deep sense of anguish today on the Bharat Ratna award. Please see Advaniji's interview with Pronoy Roy aired in 2000 on the demolition.
LKAdvani May not become the PM to this country but his Achievements in indian politics will ever be a "LEGITIMATE HISTORY". According to me LK Advani ji is like Lord Krishna to me in Mahabharatha where Dharma raju was made king to Akhand Bharath like wise LK ADVANI ji Made ATAL ji has mad prime minister by LK Advaani and also he encouraged Narendra Modi When he is facing tough times and Advani ji Produced a All time best PRIME Minister to this great country BHARATH in the form of NARENDRA MODI.I believe MR.LK ADVANIji's Political life is best and incredible life in india better thananyone in this country.Advani Is Really A real hero of this great BHARATH he has given all time democratic future to this country BHARATH by Establishing BHARATEEYA JANATHA PARTY and finally his life and his achievements are INCREDIBLE also OUTRAGEOUS.
Thank you Advaniji for what u have have done to BJP
Love him or hate him... You'd never ignore him....He made mistakes like any human being...like now Modi making several mistakes but ate ignored...but this doesn't take away the Genius of him....God bless him good healthy life whatever is left to him.
If Indiraji and Rajivji can be awarded Bharat Ratna Advaniji can be
He is the man responible for today's atmosphere of hatred. This will affect India for years to, come,
