No criticism of Muslims but as usual all wrong with hindus ...🤭 Elites living in bubbles trying to point 👉 fingers at others ..why all wrong it's hindus/modi/public/other media...but we Barkha n veer are saints .😂😂😂😂
Very true. These people suffer from self-loathing, inferiority complex.
Absolutely right!
Hero and Heroine of the Nira Radia Tapes conspiracy getting together and passing judgement on other journalists. 😂
Hard core hypocrites, dharbaris
Shameless dharbaris,, spoiled the journalism in India for wealth and liquor
Perversion of Muslims also should be equally discussed
Aww...so cute...you both have missed Nira!
Offering to pass an ordinance for Jaya Bachhan is not an abuse of power by the former remote-controlled PM Manmohan Sing?
Great to see two radia tape journalists in same frame 😊😊
Even the radia tape journalists are better evil today. Difference
Get over it already
Very true ! Oh those wheeling-dealing days of making money out of pimping for Congress-Communist-islamist mafia. And getting Padma-Shree, going on ISI funded exotic foreign trips for Track II meetings. Ah, that golden era of boot-licking "journalism" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Andh Bhakt spotted
@@vaunsag Andh Virodhi spotted
Vir Sanghavi is an excellent journalist. Objective, articulate and dispassionate. Such a clear and cool talker, whether he is asking or answering questions.
He was involved in radia tapes, he is no journo
My 95 year old Father in law who worked with people like C Rajagopalachary would always say that "Food and Religion are most personal and private and must never ever be imposed"...
Then why Abrahamic faiths like Islam have people who try to impose their faiths on non believers?
@@harshit5803epic reply dude, now he will not reply for this...
My 95 year's father my foot 😏.
All this gyan only for Hindus 😂
@@y4ip2288 right...there gyaan is only for Hindus. They don't have guts to criticize Islamists and missionary Christians.

Vir! You were part of journalism where they were getting Padma awards for sucking up to the family
Excellent
I am a fan of vir sanghvi
This was so much fun to watch! Brilliant questions and brilliant answers by two amazing people! Nice work, Ms Dutt, keep the great work going!
I had a value judgement about Vir Sanghvi.. The more I hear him these days more I have started to like him.. Indeed a decent conversation
You should then catch up on his role on the radia tapes. Youd love him. Kidar say atte hai ysh log?
So you also believe... People who vote BJP do Pooja at home wants kill muslims ??
Just mention his role in Radia Tapes and you will be immediately blocked.
Thanks Barkha for interviewing Vir. Love him for his clarity, simplicity, sanity... Love the way he brings balance to any discussion.. a remarkable journalist, human!!!
At 11 min ... Vir said in different words but meant ... People who vote BJP do Pooja at home wants kill muslims ??
I do support bjp and vote for them , I am aware of their faults too. I found this conversation extremely refreshing and unbiased. More power to you barkha
One line summary of this interview:
"Our honeymoon period is over. Our opponents today are doing what only we had the privilege to do before (damn those bloody modi acolytes); Democracy was kinda dead before, but at least we were enjoying our status... But now it is totally dead."
Sam reads i 100th that.
😂😂😂😂
Absolutely any other world both of them would have been not even seen but India being India they are still relevant
😂 , but I still admire their shamelessness . If I was them, I would have retired to wilderness after being caught.
@@pillalam they are not relevant at all. The types who listen to them are folks who will praise even a stray dog ( even though dogs are supposed to be hated ) if it barks at Modi. 😂
Look at the superiority complex of these journalists… only they are correct and all other are wrong. They don’t understand that running a vast country like India is 1000 times more difficult than turning around a newspaper 😅
They write stories for Paris or NY audience! And few partisans leftists in india.
This is why Barkha and Vir will remain in our memory for a long long time. You can clearly see where each have a different point of view despite being very liberal in their opinion.
Isn't being 'liberal' or 'conservative' first sign of less brain? Why shouldn't one have opinions based on facts?
bro. In my opinion, India is a weird country here -
The right wants that women shouldn't hijab wear while the liberals support wearing the hijab
Right oppose triple talaq while liberals support triple talaq
Isn't this opposite to happens in America and Europe
@@Vanshbhardwaj294 In India it's more of pro Hindu vs anti hindu. Not so much right vs left
@@Dr.AryamanAbhisekBiswal yup
Another andh bhakth of Modi 😏
This guy writes “Rude Food” and “A Rude Life”…. But is so polite 😁🫣
A delightful interview ,
Reminded of good old times as well as getting a perspective of where we stand as of today.
Good old times when the VAST majority of people in India were VERY poor and struggled to feed themselves but as long as YOU are okay then it's good old times!
good old times where alleged journalists were fixing cabinet posts and where ministers were busy making schemes for defrauding the country?
I was totally impressed with Burkha Dutt's insist questioning of someone who is probably from the same millieu as she.
Vir my all time favorite
Decent Classy and all
Vir and Bharka can't stand the success of Arnab
Problem with these seculars is they r open to teach Hindus about secularism but want to sit side by side with muslims,that's why I came out of that left idea trap
Excellent
Excellent definition of pseudo secularism 😅
Come full circle.
When Hindu Kashmiri pandits were tortured where are these Muslim lovers journalist
They were licking boots of Italian lady
The extent of being out of touch is that Vir Sanghvi is saying look at what is happening in the Middle East ... The reality is that the Middle East is changing for the better, it is opening up like nowhere else.
Very interesting. Vir Ji does daily Puja by lifting the candles...
Sanghvi has given a strong answer to Barkha with examples of religion in Arab countries
The burden of secularism is not only on Hindus. Liberals try to do that and do not talk about what is happening on the other side. So then Indians have to go to people who talk about that as well.
Superb conversation. Nothing is right or wrong. What matters is that people should have the freedom to have their distinct/unique opinions about anything & everything. Both these legends (Vir Sanghvi, Barkha Dutt) studied from top universities in UK/USA (Oxford University, Columbia University). Today I pray to God that, I pursue an MBA program from a top B-School in USA/UK starting fall of 2024. I have always admired the work (columns, editorials, etc.) of both these journalists. Whether biased or not, both of them have this extraordinary ability to convey things (from their perspective). I think that's what truly matters. Even the best of humans, become biased at times. That's why we are humans (not God).
Rohitji, there is right and wrong. Human languages and communication is based on perspectives (परिप्रेक्ष्य). The word ‘right’ exists for a purpose. Our scriptures describes 3 types of opinions - 1.श्रीमत (opinion of the supreme ie absolute truth) 2. मनमत (human perspectives) and 3. परमत (everyone’s opinion). However, an expert opinion of a human-being based on sound reasoning is significantly better than WhatsApp Uni opinion, a mix of मनमत एंड परमत.
This just my humble opinion!
Both weeping together remembering their goodie times
Licking their wounds....They were the part of the problem, they were the problem & they don't even realise...
Superb interview...incisive questions great insights👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very good interview. Vir Sanghi is balanced, mature and it's nice to listen to without the the noisy and shrill TV debates and interviews
wow… really like this new iteration of Barkha Dutt.
So refreshing to see an honest discussion between real journalists.
See a glimmer if hope here for a media that is focussed on issues not the bias they hold.
Barkha and real journalist ? Since when ? Radia tapes, "teacher's son", etc etc etc have proven she is just a pimp of Congress-Communist-muslim mafia. Waiting forever to hear her program on forcible conversion racket of hindus in Britain, India, Pakistan, Bangla-Desh.
real journalists ?????
More like Manipulators on hire. Barka never spoke about the scams.
Having a good English vocabulary doesn't make one real or a journalist !!
Vow Sonia Gandhi was open to criticism and Dr. Manmohan Singh was NOT!!!! WOW that is stunning
The closing remark by the interviewer to Vir: yes, please create a new show where we get to hear your counterpoints please.
Radia reunion. Looking good guys😂😂😂
Excellent discussion! Don’t agree with everything, but well done
But that's the way it shout be.. 👍. Conduct fierce debatez on the issue without getting personal, go ahead & disagree, BUT without making personal allegations like calling people andh bakhar etc, and pidi-trolls alleging nonsense things like Rs 2 /troll etc..
Vir Sanghvi is so erudite and his observations are so on point. He really wears his intelligence quite loosely. Thank you for this interview.
How can two people who are biased towards the opposition and against BJP n Modi have an honest discussion about the politics scenario, freedom of media, credibility of opposition leaders, achievements of Modi etc?
Of course they will show bias towards the idea that they have formed about this present govt n PM.
For these two, would be a great shock if they talk how the lives of people, expansion of infrastructure, cutting down of centre govt corruption etc compared to Congress govt time.
They made their careers out of bjp hate
I am surprised that Vir Sangvi also changed heart too soon. I see a lot of softening in his attitude towards.... some one... or some group
He says he didn’t want his son to become a journalist because of the situation now and yet says this period is better than under Indira Gandhi!
BBC was not raided it was surveyed. There is a difference. Journalist like Barkha and Vir would know the difference. Later on BBC on its own accepted that did few malpractices at their end.
So admire Vir more so for his calm demure and balance approach to politics.
Very balanced view by Vir. Barkha my apologies for thinking you are tilting towards the current government but I got your point in one of your recent interviews on your stance and appreciate that. Keep up your good work and all the best to your channel
This is one of the best interviews I have heard in a long time. The observation that Mr Rahul Gandhi talks more and listens less is very astute but unfortunately it is true of most politicians. I agree with Ms Barkha Dutt. Mr Sanghvi should start his own podcast on what makes India enduring. I am sure he will interest a lot of people. India should stick to pluralism. Tamils constituted less than 15% of Sri Lanka and look what happened there when the Sinhalese imposed a majoritarian rule.
recalling the Radia tapes
Good to hear of the past, in a different light.
Great interview. Such a pleasure hearing Vir Sanghvi!
Vir was right to advise his son not to join the media. He knew his durbar patrons were going out of power
Vir sanghvi you are not middle class😂😂😂 you are top 1% Elite Indian
Brilliant conversation and such a relief from normal TV shouting matches
Except that one is a sellout.
Change is the only constant, like all of us, you journalists also have to evolve based on the changing world.
Good you mentioned Kargil and Barkha.
Its always a delight to listen to Vir Sanghvi
For two extremely educated people, they absolutely don't know jack shit about the Overton window.. This is why BJP wins.. Equating Arnab with Arundhati is probably the silliest false equivalence one can do. Yet Barkha does it and still gets to post on Washington Post.. Incredible......
Gr8 talk. Tnx.
Indira's time waz different...close to period of independence and enormous challenges with low resources. Today relevance of institutions is so much more
You're absolutely right. We can't judge those times by the same yardstick. During Indira Gandhi's times our country was almost teetering on the brink of collapse financially and militarily, given the circumstances. It's not so in this millennium. So the comparison is odious.
Fantastic description of how things were and how things are. We need more such deliberations. I want Barkha you to discuss the point with regard to activist journalism with Ravish. And I am saying it with all seriousness because I feel we need to engage with every kind of journalism under the sun critically that includes nuanced journalism.
Ravish is a hack not a journalist
Barkha, it's high time that you start writing regularly for different publications in India as well. The way you articulated and gave clarifications to Vir about foreign media and their "biases" was really wonderful. Reading such pieces in Indian publications would be really great 👍. Looking forward to your writings as I look forward to your videos...
Not required
mr dubey, you need to get your brains checked for suggesting this..
@@anilkulkarni9839 She can try to undo some of the damage done by her in the past. She has to write IMO
Vir …. I literally learned English by reading COUNTERPOINT AND RUDE FOOD …. U r a gem and I miss ur columns
He is regularly available on Pakistan TV.
Interesting to watch these two PRESTITUTES that were once reporting Piople's pulses and raising issues concerning democracy, harmony, are now discussing about Right and Left....Both were journalists I was proud of when Veer was editor of SUNDAY magazine And Dutt was reporting LIVE from Gujarat on infamous 2002 coo.unal riots that Naredra Damodar Modi conceived and administered.....but then onward, both lost their reputation at least in today's media world....Hope, they do more as True Journalists to strengthen Indian demoy and Harmony our great freedom fighters and visionary leaders dreamt of.
Wow and wow .. kudos to good journalism
Barkha, you are doing good.
Barkha ji, you are the people who feed western media. And you get fed by them 😅😅😅.
How obvious you looked in this interview 😅😅😅
जय श्री राम! हर हर महादेव! राधे राधे 🙏🏼
Just bcoz u ppl have lost ur VIP status... doesn't mean that ppl shouldn't come in media...ever heard media ppl complaining when u ppl had those VIP privileges.
Good old Radia days of NDTV when these journalists had a say in choosing ministers are now being recalled between the two buddies.
Very true ! Oh those wheeling-dealing days of making money out of pimping for Congress-Communist-islamist mafia. And getting Padma-Shree, going on ISI funded foreign trips for Track II meetings. Ah, those golden era of boot-licking "journalism" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
They still can’t believe that the rug has been pulled. 😂😂😂
It's always a great pleasure listening to barkha and vir
I remember good old days of NDTV
Me too from Kenya used to love the original NDTV
Great interview.
So nice to here him after so many years....
Burkha dutt , how you recover and establish your good emage in Bharat. !!!
1. Access to sources definitely makes the life of a journalist much more bearable, but I have been brought up in the belief ideally, they should not have any friends. It has been said cultivation of loneliness and meritocracy is the keystone of journalistic success.
2. Although politicians would always try to give some ideological gloss on anything and everything under the sun, but after all is said and done a government in power is essentially nothing if not a service provider. So, it stands to reason that they should be judged first and foremost on issues uncluttered by dogmas.
It is such a rare treat to hear a journalist speak his mind objectively without trying to toe some secret laxman rekha at best or dancing to the tunes of an invisible madari.
Radio.
Print Media.
Electronic Media & Now
Social Media. 👍
A brilliant intelligible and enlightening discussion!
Please bring Ravish Kumar, Barkha
Wonderful to see Mr.vir after long time Barkha.He was very candid, true to what he believes.
Barkha , would like to hear more true journalist on your channel. Than you Mr. Vir💐💐💐💐💐🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
It is ironic how short public memory is? Both these journalists were caught with their pants down as paid journalists in the Nira Radia case. But both of them have now come together.
Thanks
Khan Market Gang Reunited For Chat. 😀
Two crooks in one frame!
Radia reunion
Ah...the "Radia" Legends assemble! 🤣
Dude Amnesty is a CIA front & regime change ops are pretty common tool for West to get pliable govts.
They know it - but they are hands in gloves for money, "awards", foreign trips, visa, etc...
I saw some comments being deleted! No surprise!
बर्खा जी, ब्रिटॆन मॆ हिन्दु बच्चॆ पर हॊ रहॆ अत्याचार पर भी मुँह खॊलॆ. माना की शान्तिदुतॊ का खाती है लॆकिन इमानदार पत्रकारिता भी तॊ कुछ हॊता है. हिम्मत दिखायॆ, सच बॊलनॆ का हौसला दिखायॆ.
What is so appealing about VS vids, is his voice .... He says the most outrageous things (or the most mundane) in a mellifluous yet monotone ....decibel wise, nary a fluctuation
Rajiv Gandhi banned Amnesty International and we say Congress is democracy based .
Rajdeep asking Sonia Gandhi about pasta is journalism. Ah ha!
Loved the calm, collected, intelligent discussion. What a treat. True journalism at the core..shines through. Keep shining.
Reminds me of two sayings 1. Each saint has a past and each sinner has a future and 2. Grapes are sour!. Agree with the comments about so called TV debates!
So various past PMs thought the CIA had front orgs and interfered in India, but two journalists somehow know more than the prime ministers with all the intelligence they are privy to 😂
Finally a podcast to counter Smrita and her propoganda.😅
In every interview Barkha must talk about Mr. Modi, BJP and RSS some negative side and try to humiliate him. 😢😢
But never try to cover RSS and BJP how they work what is there IDEOLOGY what they are doing for nation and society.
Admirable journalism and a well balanced talk .
So True!! That the new generation only knows material well being and we are not even remotely concerned or do not spend time discovering what really would make the country Bharat/India prosperous !
Two old privileged journalists missing their old days of sick power and position.
Appeasment policy of mullaha was responsible for rise of BJP.
I feel this is refreshingly cool and calm chat, without taking sides. Kudos to both.
