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" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
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."
@@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 😅
Vir Sanghavi is an excellent journalist. Objective, articulate and dispassionate. Such a clear and cool talker, whether he is asking or answering questions.
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
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 .😂😂😂😂
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
What happened during Indira Gandhi can't be compared today. We have evolved over 45 years. Let's not forget growth during Manmohan Singh. Evolution is a part of any party. Rite now, we are standing in the same situation during times of global civilization!
I differ a bit ...I think earlier also journalist and channels used to push their ideology / political agenda . But the difference between then and now is earlier there was only one party / ideology which was ruling India. Now we have other ideologies / parties which are powerful also to push back. And we have Social Media which has increased the reach to the common man. Hence we the common people is able to see / hear both sections
Dear Mam.. hope the note finds you well. Sir I am in Australia and there some serious pieces of evidence associated with what Mr Modi has done. This will shake everything there but my family is scared for well being. Could you help or advise me for how shall I proceed. Thank you so much and please accept my apologies for botheration.
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.
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!
Left leaning intellectually biased media influenced by foreign media has in fact one of root causes congress party degradation. The other factor is Hindu hatred and Muslim appeasement. The third factor being change geo- politics and economics . The fourth factor is people getting to know real stories of Indian pride rather than perverted stories being told about Hinduism and very much silent about other religions - opened up due to information technology
Exactly right ! Foreign funding plus Congress-Communist-islamists umbrella gave career, money and perks to lots of people who excelled in boot-licking and sycophancy. People who have read Radia tapes know truth of Barkha.
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.
I am really sorry . If Liberandu is a word it is because of hypocriticality (not sure if that is a word ;) ) I am still proudly a liberal btw. I loved Vir growing up, especially his written articles. But being hypocritical and also pretentious is not healthy. If you claim to be religious, then know about the religion you are talking about. Lighting a Candle!!! Seriously?? ( and i am not nitpicking) your work is antithetical to your words, and the opinion is not based on this interview.
18:58 ; For those who think Indira’s blaming the CIA was a red herring it’s worth reminding that India’s growing proximity with Russia epitomised by the overnight signing of friendship treaty with russia - in response to the entry of the Seventh fleet (Task force 74) in the Bay of Bengal & the dismembering of Pak ) wasn’t taken lightly by Nixon - who at that time was engaged in arming nearly 60 despots around the globe - and thus started the CIA’s mission to oust indira in favour of a capitalist-friendly Morarji desai ( Seymour hersh the American journalist had revealed in 1984 that Morarji was a CIA’s mole operating under the facade of being Gandhian ). Apart from Nixon’s personal grudge against Indira for twisting his nose the US administration was more pissed up against the socialistic welfare programme the congress party had embarked upon after the electoral victory achieved on the Gareebi Hatao slogan. Sensing morarjis CIA links Indira didn’t even invite morarji to the meeting in which the pathbreaking decision to nationalise all insurance and banking companies was taken. So when nothing seemed to work for the CIA it resurrected JP out of his political sanyas and the movement to destabilise indira was launched with all urgency with the covert help of anti-indira manuwadi bamman-baniya congressmen. Indira was even misguided by the likes of SS Ray into declaring emergency against her wishes although it came as a response to JP’s toxic call to the police and the army to revolt. When indira overcame the setbacks post emergency the CIA played the Khalistan communal card with the help of the notorious RSS …..
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 !
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...
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" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
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.
Great conversation. But why do you think all BJP supporters are just right wing hindu fanatics? There are many factors at play including governance, corruption etc. So BJP being in power doesn't mean 'right wing' fanatics are in power...don't malign 99% cause of crazy 1% fanatics who actually might be going out and doing violence on name of religion.
Problem for them is that they had been left wing hacks for long time. Similar to politicians if they start accepting the ground truth then their base audience will get offended. Also for them it's hard to accept mentally that the right wing is also normal people. If one keeps repeating lies it becomes part of identity. Few balanced people like shkhar Gupta only could move sides by small margin and hacks like barkha and rajdeep are in a way struggling to keep semblance of objectivity.
Veer: I must say U put Barkha in her place when U brought Indira Gandhi into the discussion and her using American buzzwords like compact and granular. Thanx.
Liberalisation was started by Narsimha Rao.Unfortunately even Mr.Sanghvi does not give credence to Mr Rao. We thought you were an impartial journalist.
liberalisation was started by Rajiv gandhi through V P Singh’s budget of 1985 and that time there wasn’t any compelling need to open indian markets to the west unlike ‘92 when Rao had no other option left but to cave in to the arm twisting of the World bank and it’s cronies …
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💐💐💐💐💐🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Full marks for eloquence but that can’t hide their disheartened state. Both are simply ignoring the reality of Congress & Gandhi family sycophants amongst journalists. So evidently they can’t digest BJP’s rise & decimation of Gandhi family + Congress.
It is good to find two veteran journalists speaking with a modicum of objectivity! One does not agree with every view point they put forth but this new found objectivity is welcome!
Very true ! Oh those wheeling-dealing days of making money out of pimping for Congress-Communist-islamist mafia. And getting Padma awards, foreign awards, going on ISI funded exotic foreign trips for Track II meetings. Ah, that golden era of boot-licking "journalism" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Its embarrassing how I liked these two when I was a teenager. Ashamed of myself. Half of these food Vir would write about I hadnt even heard off. Thank god the bubble bursted.
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.
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
10:50..."I'm a believer... go to Hindu temples... we have a pooja room at home..do Aarti everyday...wife lights a candle at the pooja room..." lights a candle??!! bro, you have a pooja room or altar??! Hindus light dhoop, diya, agarbatti etc. in mandirs/poojas...Candles koi aur log jalate hain... 😂😂😂
Exactly,, let them introspect , Don't for get Radia tape , power brokers,, hate Hindus, spying for enemies,,shameless,, you people spoiled the reputation of professional journalism
Barkha will always be remembered for her live coverage of 26/11. The w (nee) Hore of noble laureate Hafiz Zayed . True journalism is indeed providing ive coverage of hostages & their hiding places to the people who came to spread love.

Vir Sanghavi is an excellent journalist. Objective, articulate and dispassionate. Such a clear and cool talker, whether he is asking or answering questions.

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.
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!
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
I saw some comments being deleted! No surprise!
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
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...
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!
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.
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.

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...

@@anilkulkarni9839 She can try to undo some of the damage done by her in the past. She has to write IMO
Vir Sanghvi looked as if he was going to cry. Good control. Happens when you realise that you have lost it.
Another 5 years, these clowns will totally disappear
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" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Government control? Where? So many PSUs have been privatized, the farm laws.
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.
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.
Great conversation. But why do you think all BJP supporters are just right wing hindu fanatics? There are many factors at play including governance, corruption etc. So BJP being in power doesn't mean 'right wing' fanatics are in power...don't malign 99% cause of crazy 1% fanatics who actually might be going out and doing violence on name of religion.
Problem for them is that they had been left wing hacks for long time. Similar to politicians if they start accepting the ground truth then their base audience will get offended. Also for them it's hard to accept mentally that the right wing is also normal people. If one keeps repeating lies it becomes part of identity. Few balanced people like shkhar Gupta only could move sides by small margin and hacks like barkha and rajdeep are in a way struggling to keep semblance of objectivity.
Veer: I must say U put Barkha in her place when U brought Indira Gandhi into the discussion and her using American buzzwords like compact and granular.
Thanx.
I was totally impressed with Burkha Dutt's insist questioning of someone who is probably from the same millieu as she.
Burkha dutt , how you recover and establish your good emage in Bharat. !!!
Never understood why do we have to refer to past and say, we had bad past hence it is ok to have bad present
Loved the calm, collected, intelligent discussion. What a treat. True journalism at the core..shines through. Keep shining.
A brilliant intelligible and enlightening discussion!
Brilliant conversation and such a relief from normal TV shouting matches
Except that one is a sellout.
And also during UPA time 10 Janpath is more powerful than 7 race course road 🙂
Liberalisation was started by Narsimha Rao.Unfortunately even Mr.Sanghvi does not give credence to Mr Rao. We thought you were an impartial journalist.
liberalisation was started by Rajiv gandhi through V P Singh’s budget of 1985 and that time there wasn’t any compelling need to open indian markets to the west unlike ‘92 when Rao had no other option left but to cave in to the arm twisting of the World bank and it’s cronies …
Vir sanghvi you are not middle class😂😂😂 you are top 1% Elite Indian
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💐💐💐💐💐🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Mr Vir Sanghvi is very intelligent with in-depth understanding of what he speaks! Barkha at times maybe was struggling to keep pace!
From what I gathered in this conversation, Vir is not so much bothered with the current political scenario.
Full marks for eloquence but that can’t hide their disheartened state. Both are simply ignoring the reality of Congress & Gandhi family sycophants amongst journalists. So evidently they can’t digest BJP’s rise & decimation of Gandhi family + Congress.
The closing remark by the interviewer to Vir: yes, please create a new show where we get to hear your counterpoints please.
It is good to find two veteran journalists speaking with a modicum of objectivity! One does not agree with every view point they put forth but this new found objectivity is welcome!
Very true ! Oh those wheeling-dealing days of making money out of pimping for Congress-Communist-islamist mafia. And getting Padma awards, foreign awards, going on ISI funded exotic foreign trips for Track II meetings. Ah, that golden era of boot-licking "journalism" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Its embarrassing how I liked these two when I was a teenager. Ashamed of myself. Half of these food Vir would write about I hadnt even heard off. Thank god the bubble bursted.
True
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.
Rajdeep asking Sonia Gandhi about pasta is journalism. Ah ha!
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
10:50..."I'm a believer... go to Hindu temples... we have a pooja room at home..do Aarti everyday...wife lights a candle at the pooja room..."
lights a candle??!! bro, you have a pooja room or altar??! Hindus light dhoop, diya, agarbatti etc. in mandirs/poojas...Candles koi aur log jalate hain...
😂😂😂
Exactly,, let them introspect , Don't for get Radia tape , power brokers,, hate Hindus, spying for enemies,,shameless,, you people spoiled the reputation of professional journalism
Two clowns sitting and reminiscing the days when they used to control the narrative.
These guys enjoyed the perks and inturn favoured certain party.
Palki Sharma is incidentally doing good story telling hope she is able to survive the changing times these yesteryear faces (minds) are good to watch
They still can’t believe that the rug has been pulled. 😂😂😂
Barkha will always be remembered for her live coverage of 26/11. The w (nee) Hore of noble laureate Hafiz Zayed . True journalism is indeed providing ive coverage of hostages & their hiding places to the people who came to spread love.
2 of the top prestitute cabal is here on the screen!!
Good 1 Barkha.Vir was spontaneous & honest in his answers..That shows his Brilliance as person & journalist.😊
Come full circle.
Radio.
Print Media.
Electronic Media & Now
Social Media. 👍
first washington post article, then this interview….
Barkha may yet get her mojo back.
Keep at it Barkha and we may just have to subscribe!
vir sanghvi looks like he is about dump into his lungi under the table with no pressure 😅
Superb interview...incisive questions great insights👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
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.
Vow Sonia Gandhi was open to criticism and Dr. Manmohan Singh was NOT!!!! WOW that is stunning
