The more you use Hindutva in negative connotation, the more powerful Modi becomes.
Exactly...
Yes, it’s like they want people to be ashamed of their own values…(only applies if you are a hindu)
Absolutely !! And shushhh😂😂😂
I agree
You got the real point.
Minority muslims - where is the constitution?

Hindutva is not Fevicol, it's Platelets; to repair the damages,heal the wounds, to keep the body together & working.
Nice explanation bro
Underrated statement
.. Very rightly put forward supported by numerous empirical evidences from the time immemorial...
10/10 ! Very well explained.
Beautiful
Wow, very nicely put.
Earlier I used to feel shy to show I am Hindu. But today, there is rejuvenation in all of us and I proudly say I am Hindu and for me Hindutva is not negetive thing, it is our shield 🛡️ to stay away from negetive people.
Yes bro ,pahle mai aur bahut sare young log tika lagane ,temple jane aur hath me dhaga badhne se bachte the ,aaj sab garv se apne face pe jai shree ram ,har har mahadev likha k social media pe proud feel karte hain.

I never felt so. I was always a proud Hindu, never felt shy calling myself a HINDU.
Is any Muslim singing Eeshwar allah?
Did anyone read Gita in a mosque?
Gandhi only pushed it on Hindus. As he can’t change Muslims, he forced Hindus to become obedient to Muslims

I was invited to a church in Hyderabad by my team leader (whole team of us Btw) and we went along. Being truly secular (which largely in india is mostly n largely a hindu, with some Sikhs, some Buddhists, and very few Christians only) I went along happily. My parents never told me to have a religious identity or outlook. I am talking about 2003 if memory serves me right. And I was shocked to find the priest at the pulpit talking against BJP, RSS and Modi and how we must defeat the Hindu goon. I sat there shocked. I looked over to my TL who lowered her eyes. Out of politeness, innate in us, no one discussed it. At that time, in my 20s i had no knowledge of politics and no interest. I walked into a Gurudwara a couple of years later and saw naked display of hatred against India and Hindus. A Hindu today, is not a proud Hindu because of BJP or RSS. It is because while a Hindu has remained a truly secular person, they are being abused, backstabbed by every other religious group. I can challenge anyone...walk into any temple today, North to south, east to west, there is no political hatred being fomented there. I have never once gone to a temple and i have been to countless and continue to go, and NOT EVEN ONCE have i come across the temple priest holding a mike and giving a political speech or preaching hate towards other religions. The contrast in this culture is blatant. Also i have not seen any politics in a Buddhist temples. I may have been to a dozen or more by now. But every single time I go to a church and Gurudwara (i still go out of respect when someone asks. I have no hatred at all) I see a clear display of political and religious identity display. Its STARKLY unspiritual, which is what one intuitively thinks a temple premise is for. But rarely is there (so it seems to me honestly) an honest introspection on this. Why is a Sikh , or a Christian unsecular. I wont include Muslims. They have to unsecular to be religious. 😢. So a Hindu actually must become politically awakened to survive else, like their ancestors, they will be mere skulls on a spoke.
absolutely! I had similar experiences and shed my secularism rust
The burden of secularism is only on hindus. Why ?
n 1995 while I was visiting Ferozabad, an accident happened probably I was 6 or 7 years old, I saw people in half pants taking out bodies from the rubble, feeding everyone and providing medical assistance to everyone without asking their religion or background. There was also some robbing that was happening and they stand protecting the place, until the help from the government could arrive, but they were very slow. That was the first time i find out RSS, I met a lot of old retired people who are proud Hindus working in RSS, I was told many things but never once there was hatred. I mean whenever they accuse RSS, do they know that RSS is made up of old retired people trying to find meaning in society who happens to be Hindus. From many years Barkha and others have been trying to tell the people of this country that RSS is a terrorist organisation, a hard-line Right wing of Hindu nationalists. To justify that they show them exercising with sticks (comparing it with AK47 from other peaceful communities). Peaceful countries who have over 43% of the world's country in the name of Islam rest of them are Christians. But only Hindu's are being told that having a Hindu country is dangerous, we are being mocked for being a Hindu nation as if we should be ashamed of it. We are told that we do not matter other religions do. What happens is that when we put our head deep in our own ass trying to only work for the "maksad" you forget to see the reality of things. Long time back I have read somewhere, that having an open mind is good but your mind should not be so opened that it whistles every time there is a wind. Whenever people justify violence in Palestine because they were oppressed too much, they forget the same is being done to Hindus and continued even after the Independence. Our patience is being turned into our show of weakness and yet we will survive way beyond anyone every imagined. No, we never went and kidnapped people and asked for ransom during wars, or rape, or microwave children to tell people we are being oppressed. We are not a Hindu country, we are not even a country, we are just bunch of human beings getting pissed and riling up everywhere to say, "enough".
I completely agree with Vinay Sitapathi, we Hindus have changed... Speaking personally, I didn't care about my religion till I moved out, but now I'm a proud Hindu... People like Barkha need to understand this, and I believe people like me are the silent voters of the country
Good sense prevailed, else Hindu women will be warming the beds of muslims, Christians.
Upadhya upper caste priviledged man thinks he is silent voter..🤣🤣🤣
@@junaidmohammed280 Man, I know my privileges... What I was trying to convey was we don't openly flaunt who we're voting for until now... Now, I'm openly saying I support BJP, for mainly two reasons:
1. I feel Congress insulted Rama by not going to Ayodhya (this is my personal opinion, and please don't feel that I'm imposing this opinion on you or anyone else, this is just what I think)
2. I'm from Karnataka, and I can't stand this new narrative being spun by the Congress party about the North-South divide. I can never vote for a party that's trying to break up this country.
I know you'll have your own opinions that will make you decide who you want to vote for... Please go ahead and vote for those reasons. Isn't this the beauty of our country that we all have different opinions and we all get to express what we feel in the ballot box.
I'm really sorry if you felt I was targeting you or anyone else in my above message or in this one. That was never my intention. I strongly believe in the concept of "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam", so if you feel I've offended you in any way, my sincerest apologies to you.
@@junaidmohammed280 And FYI, I know you've faced a lot of flak for your name, which I'm truly sorry. People should never target based on their names, but please consider what you just did with me... Didn't you also target me because of my name?? Was that fair on your part? Just letting you know, man (I'm not trying to prove a point or catch you in a "gotcha" moment)... This isn't a competition, where we get a prize in the end... I just want you to be a bit more empathetic when it comes to commenting

Also Gandhi's politics failed right.

Why are the Hindus changing.... Why ? WHY? WHY?
The answer is - Hindus are not merely seeing the streets.... Actually, Hindus have been *observing and experiencing the streets like never before* .
Hindus are getting the truth directly from first hand experience. Hindus now don't require any middle man to tell the reality they are in, anymore ....
Modijee is one of the best Very good patriotic Prime minister. He is sincere, hardworking, well organised, patriotic, courageous prime minister.

*Now he is hell bent on destroying the democracy. Wants to become an autocrat.*
@@adolft_official It depends on the definition of smart cities. 100 smart cities were targeted to be ready by 2050. And FDI in China 2009 was about 131 billion dollars not 990+ billion 😂
Most of the Hindus think like this
The Hindus are just fed-up of the congress/ socialistic driven secularism.
*Non muslims

Frustration of Barkha is evident when she talks of jingoism of tv channels. Fact is her tribe has been relegated to the fringe and they are unable to figure out what has hit them.
But Gandhi's politics failed right.

If Gandhi's inclusive politics would have been successful, Pakistan would not have been created.
Gandhi was seen as a Hindu leader by 95% of Muslims who rejected MK Gandhi and voted for Muslim League (partition) in 1946 election.
Muslim leader in the garb of Hindu.
@@pradipkumarhazarika4307I dislike Gandhi but his intentions were pure. Naive but pure.
He thought one day muslims would understand and that was his mistake. And that's why I hate him for being so naive
Very very few people understand this...
@@mountolympus1098I think he was left with little choice. And he took the compromise solution of partition. The other choice was civil war. The Muslims absolutely didn't come to his aid when he trusted them to. It was a bitter pill for him.
Muslims do not want to be "included".....Coz the dominant principal of Islam is "Exclusive"....."only us/ours & no other"......
With this central dominant principal it is NOT possible to "include" the Muslims unless there is "reform" in Islam or "replacement of dominant thought" by alternative thought....
This man understands RSS better than many of those Modi, RSS and Hindu haters
Barkha talking about trp mongering is funny. What were you doing in the war front ? “Reporting” the positions of our troops, eh ?
BARKHA DUTT IS A PAKISTANI
Whether you are a hindu, a muslim, a sikh, a parsee, a Jain, a Buddhist, a Christian or a Jew, there is no denying the fact that India is a hindu country. Just like European nations may have a sizeable population of arabs, turks, south asians, etc but are primarily Christian countries. Their principles, values, traditions, holidays, attire, etc - all reflect the culture and traditions of the majority. Why should one be ashamed of it? In fact, the more you try to fight it, the more irrelevant you’d become in the world stage. Because you’d be wasting all your time just trying to look “neutral” or “culturally-agnostic.”
Exactly. Hindu Rashtra is a must
But don't forget that dharma transcends all identities including birth religion, race, language, country etc. Dharma is applicable to everyone. There are millions of namesake Hindus who violate dharma and millions of Chrisitans and muslims abide by dharma in eveyday life despite lack of understanding of correct metaphysics and blind belief in some non existent transcendent 'god".. So, let us not generalize based on birth based identity
@@indianmilitary the word hindu is just semantics. Ibn Batuta, when he visited India, called everyone al hindi. Even when a lot had embraced islam. So why is the term “hindu rashtra” such a vile word in so many of our intellectual circles? If we get over these semantics, we could focus on more important things in life.
India is undoubtedly a Hindu Rashtra.
Sir your mistake is to restrict BJP's objective only to convert Hindu votes. The bottom line (in principally) the objective was, is and will be to unite Hindus beyond vote bank and bring the unity to establish real glory of ancient Hinduism (not a religion) hope you understand this.
These people refuse to understand
Exactly
That's not a mistake, that's his willful ignorance.
People are not averse of Nepokids rather averse of the sense of entitlement in Nepokids. Son of CM feels entitled to be a CM and not less than that and same with the kids of a PM. Rahul Gandhi is not ready to settle with less than a PM's post. This is what irritates Indian voters.
A country is supposed to have a direction.Hindu way of life itself is unique.Hinduism has enormous diversities.But unity is an essential ingredient.BJP is providing that unity.
M K Gandhi’s politics was NOT inclusive politics. It was blatantly an appeasing politics.
THis guy would be very happy that P V Narsimha Rao got Bharat Ratna after he wrote a wonderful biography of him.
What a tribute to Rao from his book.
This discussion has the power to consolidate more hindu votes..😂😂🚩
Finally someone understanded what is Hindutwa.. wow best conversation i have seen in long time.
If you are a realist, sensitive and nationalist Indian, partition would teach a lot to you especially about the community that caused partition.
58:06 Muslim question? Why does there need to be a question? Is there a Parsi question? A Buddhist question? What is this particular question?
Votebank of congress. So, it is important for Barkha and other lutyens gang members to remind us 'what about muslims?"
Also not a Jain question, not a Sikh question
@@ashishjain5738 now the Sikh question is there too as far as politics of AAP and khalisthan is concerned.
Gandhi's inclusiveness, and that of Congress, is that they expect only Hindus to be inclusive and secular, despite supporting jihadi elements from the Muslim community, such as the Khilafat movement in the 1920s and the coalition with the Muslim League in Kerala in 2023. HINDUS supported Gandhianism for 100 years, but they realized that in the process, they lost their territory, Pakistan, and Kashmiri Hindus were genocided. And now mailand muslims have same thinking like Pakistanis. So hindus will now never give a chance to secularism of gandhi which is nothing but pseudo secularism
This is the fact.
If India can be divided & sold to Muslims as Islamic Pakistan, then why not Hindu Rashtra?
Nehru, the biggest blunder of Gandhi. Together they claimed to have got India her freedom but together they caused maximum harm to Bharat🤦♂️🤦♂️
Definatatly we have changed, earlier i didnt think about my religion even when others demean or make joke about our culture and religion. but now i care so much about my identity as civilisational hindu .
As savarkar said If you are muslim then I am hindu otherwise I am just wordly being.
Muslims pushed their identity on us
@@mountolympus1098 Minority appeasment is one of the reasons not the only reason. Dharma is also facing serious challeges from hedonism, greed and gluttony - all of which violate personal, social and environmental dharma. So, Hindutva forces have to go against them as well not just mullahs 🤣🤣 it is the reason why we are eventually going to have a "dharmic" economic model. It is a natural outcome of end of dollar or de-dollarization which also means the end of hyperconsumption and "individualism". De-dollarization also equals de-radicalization and de-missionarization. Kaliyuga ended in December 2012. We are in a transition period of 30 yr before Dwapra yuga again kicks in (period in which Krishna existed and Mahabharatha happened) . Yuga cycles are perpetual. The only question we have to ask ourselves is are we on the side of dharma or adharma?
Me too Bro. I was almost an atheist But ever since I got to know about congress muslim appeasement politics I started becoming kattar HINDU.
Vinay Sitapati brings the most clear -eyed view of Hindutva, BJP, Modi & RSS of anyone who is not necessarily sympathetic to their ideology and actions.
I agree with this.
I'm a proud Hindu and I never liked Barkha for obvious reasons, NDTV crowd, and I still don't know if I like her. But, I would like to really thank her a lot for bringing this guest in as I've got some major insights into the BJP and RSS and their symbiosis after listening to this man. And also Barkha's excellent questions and interjections, which shows her own insight of the Indian politics and nuances. It seemed like she learnt as much as me on the above topic. Thanks to Barkha, I thoroughly enjoyed the one hour plus I spent listening.
Same here brother
An issue which is always smartly skirted is why early Jews & Christians who came to India between 50 and 80 CE; Arab Muslim traders who settled Kerala before 632 CE.. Parsis fleeing Islam in 8th century,Tibetan Buddhists more recently ALL SETTLED PEACEFULLY, PRACTICED THEIR RELIGIONS WITHOUT LET OR HINDRANCE....BARRING MUSLIMS (SPECIFICALLY THE ELITE 10% ASHRAF MUSLIMS). WHAT AILS THE MUSLIM LEADERSHIP IN INDIA?
Well most of these Left Liberal Intellectuals completely discounted the Ram Mandir Moment in 2024 . Regret or Hate , this event was a game changer for the rest of the Political perception in the decades to come in India . Remember an old adage
Ab pachtanese kya laabh , jab chidiya chug gayi khet .
The problem of the country is not illiteracy, The problem is when an educated person behave like an illiterate.
Bhrahmcharya is a deep rooted Indian culture for persons having superior goals of living from time immemorial... So please don't lie that Bhrahmcharya isn't Indian culture!!!
It is very much a product of Indian culture. However Naesthika Brahmacarya isn’t the only option. You can be married, lead a life of restraint and be immersed in the meditation and contemplation of Brahma, which would make you a Brahmacari. However if you are so immersed in the quest of the Dharma that would wouldnt be able to care for your wife/husband/ children, then it is better for you/ your spiritual path and them that you remain celibate. Just my 2 cents..
Never for rulers. That is new.

At 59:30 he claims that people tend to plant Western notion of liberal democracy on India.
How liberal are Western democracies? Indians do not have any view of West beyond USA and UK. Major Continental European countries do not have a single non Christian holidays. Power corridor and corporate world of Germany and Sweden, considered as liberal and tolerant utopia, are near 100% Caucasian. Neighbourhoods are divided along ethnic lines. There are zilch transparency in higher education or civil serivce appointments like IIT JEE or UPSC in India.
Hindutva : Hindu Unity.
Casteless Hinduism.
Bharat is a civilization and india is continuation of same civilization.
Modi is not just Virat Kohli, he is Virat+Sachin+Viv Richards. And Amit Shah is like Clive Lloyd...So, when a local Ranji team is playing what do you expect?
I refuse to believe that vajpayee was not a mass leader . Vajpayee walked so modi could run .. no comparison with Modi

Enjoyed both the discussion and the comments of viewers!
There are enough intellectuals who understand what is Hindutva and who can articulate it well .
The so-called progressive secular intellectuals who were looking at Hindutva from perspective of those who hated Hindu cultural heritage and feeling ashamed of being born Hindu especially in upper caste Hindu society tried their best to present the idea of Hindutva as something communal and divisive.
I am happy to want see these people face after 2024 election 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂

Modi has become a cultural icon, a phenomenal leader whose impact will persist beyond his tenure. His successor from the BJP will likely follow in his footsteps, underscoring Modi's enduring legacy and influence. He is, indeed, a transformative figure.
Writer Vinay has a great knowledge on Hindutva & Hinduism who can counter Fring element like Barkha. Hats up to this gentleman.
Modi re-invented journalism by making these journalists start their own channels
Virat kohli can go out of form and he has on occasions.. modi has never been out of form.. everybody tried including these presstitues 😅
Gandi was the biggest supporter of Muslim. And that's the reason he chose Nehru as the first PM even though he did not get a single vote of the congress committee. Barkha u people as a Muslim like Gandhi and Nehru it's obvious.

Am getting sensation that the Sickulars e Hind desperately looking to replace Maharaja Modiji at the earliest..They are looking searching for the replacement. They don't know the next in line will be even more tougher than Modiji ! Any suggestion ! ,
Whats totally missing here in this discussion is the Hindu Spiritual Teachings. Most of their mindset is driven by the Principals of Bhagvad Gita, the Vedas and Manusmriti. In fact all of it.
If you actually compare, there is very little difference between Shri Krishna's life and Modi's conduct. The way of solving problems, teachings all similar. No wonder do you find the PM quoting Sanskrit Verses so often in his speech - a philosophy very dear to his heart. So unless you understand what krishna or The Gita core philosophies are, you will go off track in interpreting BJP's behaviour.
The problem with these Western-educated intellectuals is that they get half of it right and half of it wrong. But they need to convince their side that they got it rightfully. For example, RSS asks their pracharak not to have family ties because of Siddhant of Yogi's Life and principles rooted in Hinduism. Ordinary Hindus know this. RSS is not going anywhere, and the BJP is not changing as it did not change earlier the BJP times of Advani and Vajpayee.
Ideology is a loose construct in today's diverse and modern world but has far certain boundaries. Like Sanatan Dharma, you are santani as long as you don't subscribe to monolithic faith principles and believe in letting everybody live in peace, etc.,
The more I come to this podcast, the better it is to hear the pain and the brainstorming among lost liberals on how BJP is winning, and as Sanatani, we pass these inputs back to RSS and the BJP think tank and learn. As Chanakya said, keep your enemy closer !!
Loved this. Seems Barkha learnt a lot and is shocked at some facts
"Confused market" was indeed a good question. So the simple answer is that BJP is not exclusive to muslims but Congress is exclusive to Hindus in their hate of BJP. Short answer Barkha. And that is why people are voting for BJP.
This is the most sensible discourse on Modi, RSS and Hindutva I have seen on electronic media. Must buy the book!

Wow I never knew this Gem MR Sitapati is there among us, Hope Barkha will learn more about Hindus & RSS through these wonderful podcasts, still she worries a lot about 200 mi Muslims more than the Hindus who had suffered till 2014.
Barkha thanks for bringing this very good conversation! Subtle portraying of Hindu nationalism in negative connotations doesn’t surprise me, but I am amused at the shallow maturity displayed in the conversation to comprehend depth of Hinduism and being very magnanimous to all other who invaded this land is appalling ! Please one can still learn to see truth as the truth rather than concocted history!
Also the reduction of Hindutva to just a Hindu votebank consolidation rather than acknowledging the renaissance of Hindus who are connecting back to their roots unapologetically is a reflection of the La La Land these intellectuals are living in.
Mahatma Gandhi's inclusive politics failed miserably the day India got partitioned. Harping on his brand of inclusiveness over the years is useless. Indians hv realized how more than 95 percent of muslims voted for the muslim league. India wd not hv been partitioned if the educated upper caste muslim males(ashraf) who had the voting rights had voted with congress i.e Mahatma Gandhi. Most of the Ashraf caste sided with Jinnah. And many of these people stayed back in India. The females and the ajlaf caste had no votes at that time.
Majority of these muslims stayed in India after voting for muslim league and their descendents falsely say they chose India over Pakistan. They chose India over Pakistan because despite voting for muslim league the areas where they lived i.e bihar and UP were not marked into Pakistan. The separate identity politics of partition has continued since than ... Rise of BJP is an answer to it...
Right
Excellent interview, congrats Bharka , in my organisation 30 years back , no one discussed politics or religion, but today the same people are aggressively discussing religion and Modi politics, quite a huge change 👍
So nicely explained, unity and sacrifice even in the face of adversity is the hall mark of Sangh which is also Hindu Nationalism. Properly backed by examples of Advani and Modi
When you are comparing vajpayee and Modi take into account vajpayee s weeknesses
One of the finest interview seen after long time. Well researched, touches every subject very aptly
I would love to see Barkha do some research on how Hindus fed up with terrorism and how it changed their mindset. Certain section of people perpetrate and then play the victim card if there is a reaction.
It is always a good idea to learn about the other side too.
Barkha needs some humility to learn and an open mindset.
One of the best interviews I have seen for a while.
And I commend Vinay for being upfront about topics he doesn’t want to speculate.
That’s a breath of fresh air.
Muslims politics, policies and political leaders have not changed even after partition, independence movement and mugal era... questions is to them the muslims to answer. Peaceful co existence is impossible under 'sar tan se juda, kamlesh tiwari, kanaihyalal' incidents and slogans, influence of Islam and Md...
These guys looks everything as political. Appreciate some true work happened in the ground.... give the due to the people who deserve it.
So what we got.
Hindutva is okay with lgbtq, hindutva is okay with non traditional views, hindutva is against caste.
And your always point out what about muslims?
Aks them first them do muslims want peace? Their activities doesn't show that

Am I only one who thinks Vinay is stuck in his idea of RSS view of Hindu unity…he seems to discount the totality of Modi power…
End of the day, Institution lasts longer than individual. Modi can do wonder, but to ensure long-lasting sucess of India, RSS is the way to go
One of the most insightful, informative and interesting interviews. For most of us who are also deracinated(!) by virtue of birth and education an understanding of the impulses, philosophy and culture that has given rise to the phenomenon of Modi and what lies ahead for our country, this has been most educative. Thanks Barkha ,keep up your brilliant work and damn the naysayers!
Har roj ek naya jhakam gang😂
.She trying to stay relevant.
The Congress was so sure of a victory in 2019 that Kapil Sibal launched Tiranga TV with Barkha as the head. Had the result been otherwise Barkaa would've been telling us what to do. If conceit can be personified that would be Barkha
Evn Nehru did not get 50% vote. So no point in telling 60 % did no not vote whn we hav 1st goal post.
Before 3 months I was secular hindu.Now I am just hindu
Incredible insights from Vinay Sitapati
Fair play to BD. She has come far since the days of BarkhaGate scandal. Well done. Be honest and put biases aside and ask honest questions.
+1
She changed coz of irrelevancy factor.
Remember she started Tiranga Change with Sibal's funding.
The day she become relevant in MSM she will revert back to her original self.
But Yes I like this BD more.
Love this conversation with Vinay Sitapati
Burki just return from Pak....
No one seems to appreciate the sterling qualities of Modi, his vision, his patriotic fervor, his efficiency his hard-working , his selfless approach, his simplicity , his affection for the poor of this country, his commitment, his ability to inspire even world leaders.
Felt so rich by the time the conversation ended
Me tooo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
What if I say, Jinnah was a Hindu nationalist, and he partitioned British India, curving out India from British India to save Hinduism. 😉
And he wanted all Indian Muslims out of India into Pakistan just to save Hindu Civilization, doing justice to his forefathers.
Amd islamist Nehru just stopped the population exchange after Jinnah died.
Fascinating conversation. Always a big fan of Vinay's works. India is so complex. Who would have thought Jinnah's grandson funding Jana sangh 😊 Bharat ratna followed a pattern , to stetch Vinay's words : Mandir, Mandal, Market and Maatti ( soil for agriculture )
intellectually satisfying conversation. Thanks Barkha.
Whether you like Barkha or not for her political ideology, but her style of questioning is par-excellence! She is one of the BEST journalists of our time - well read/researched! She is ONE of those very few journalists (Smita Prakash/Shekhar Gupta), who can hold my attention for hours…
thank you, warmly Barkha
Bilkul bhai mujhe to bilkul pasand nahi ye bandi par isme talent jarur hai
Unethical stigma of bd support Kashmiri pandit 1990 genocide, Mumbai blasts live telecast, Congi agent.........to bd dad's rituals during Covid negetive presstitute 😂😂
നെഹ്റു ബ്ലഡി ഫൂൾ ഹെ !
Finally mallus are coming out of stupid kammi mindset
Thanks for this interview ..
Appreciate you Barkha for being open to Modi doing good as a PM.
Great discussion. This guy has veey clear thoughts and right understanding of RSS BJP Modi etc
Ishwar Allah tero naam.. L@wda lassan
BJP/ Vajpayee appointed Abdul Kalam, Congress did not agree to an extension.
What an intelligent mind, i am just blown away
These people still don't get it....he is talking about gross roots without knowing the ground reality.
1:00:48 Muslims should be a flag bearer of secularism now! Majority community can’t have the onus anymore! Handover all destroyed temple can be a true goodwill gestures, we already have lost 2/3 of our land as Pakistan and Bangladesh entirely due to a certain religion, though Jews, Jain, Buddhist had no issue with the majority community! And get rid of WAQF anarchy first
I think that will be only way for our society's peace and progressive or it will only cause muslims.
