EP-41 | Smashing stereotypes with Rubika Liyaquat | ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash

Noted journalist Rubika Liyaquat made a name for herself in the field of TV journalism with her fiery style of anchoring news bulletins. Whether in Zee TV or now in ABP News she continues with the same style of picking up contentious topics and getting all sides of the debate on her shows. Rubika does on-the-ground reporting and is often criticized for editorialising news. She is active on social media where true to her style, her posts are fearless and bold. Being a progressive Muslim woman professional, she finds herself at odds with those who want to box her in. In a candid interview with Smita Prakash, Rubika talks about her life, her family and her reason for becoming a journalist. She speaks her mind on the Hijab controversy and other issues related to the Muslim community. She, without hesitation, shares about her struggle to break stereotypes and explains the many trials she had to go through.

@@punam5978 LORD KRSNA'S FOOLISH DRUNKEN WIVES ARE READY TO COMMIT INCEST WITH HIS SON (SAMBA) Samba's mischief and that of the women combine here in one neat episode: he misbehaves with them. Thus the destruction of the race of the Yadus (Yadavas) is blamed on Krsna's wives, on Krsna's son, and on the rage of Krsna himself: "One day Narada came to Dvaraka to see Krsna. All the Yadu boys received him with respect, but Samba, proud of his young beauty and deluded by the fated, inevitable force of the curse, disregarded Narada. To teach Samba a lesson, Narada told Krsna that all of Krsna's sixteen thousand wives were in love with Samba. Samba (Krsna's son) was summoned, and the women, whose minds were blurred by wine, showed unmistakable signs of passion when Samba appeared. Furious, Krsna cursed them to be carried off by barbarians after his death, and he cursed Samba to be afflicted with leprosy. Therefore the women were carried away under the very eyes of Arjuna. Later, Samba remembered what had happened before, and as he was impelled by inevitable fate, he enraged the sage Durvasas and prompted the curse that destroyed his whole family." -- Samba Purana 3:6-55; Bhavisya Purana 1:72-73.

[@mohiniahmed9321]

I always avoided programs and debates that was anchored by Rubika. I never watched a single programs of hers. Just recently Iwatched Smita Prakash on internet and because of the genuine quality of her interviews I became curious about Rubika Liyaquat Ali. I grew up in Delhi where You could have President's granddaughter in my class as well as President's chuprasi daughter in my class. I had girls coming to school from homes of Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs. I have an old photograph of my father when he studied in Goverment College lahore. In the photograph my father is three of his best friends., one of them Christian, the other Sikh and one Muslim. My mother tied rakhi to Sagar Nizami, a national poet who wrote two famous ghazals sung by Master Madan. This is my background as a refugee in Delhi from Gujranwala in Pakistan in 1947. Now watching Smita's interviewing Rubika makes me feel abundantly happy . it is a real pleasure to know you both and I will be watching your programs with great pleasure. May God bless you both and may you grow from strength to strength.I am just about your grief on losing your Mum's passing away. Just remember her with gratitude that she was part of your life. Just think of those who never experienced the love of mother. I am lucky my children gave me motherhood. I married a widower who died within six weeks of my marriage. I raised two children aged just four and ten as a single parent. I feel blessed. I am moving towards my eigth decade and have had a rich life and continue to do so.

Behind every successful man there's a woman, but in her case it is a man,her father. Her father too is a source of inspiration to every father of a girl child , to be the wind beneath their wings. My father too would always tell us his children to do what we thought was right and not listen or worry about what people would say. It is the right kind of grounding to give children and make them strong in their thinking. Thank you Smitha for this conversation. Please bring Smita Prakash too on your show.

The problem is some progressive Muslims present hijab/burqa as a choice rather than a regressive practice.

I can list several more gems …… everything expressed straight from the stomach. Very inspirational not just for young folks but for elders too. Keep it up you Bold & Beautiful Ladies. Wishing you great success. Major General Harwant Krishan.💃💃

More power to every girl to have same mindset as her….Huge respect for attitude and mindset

These two journalists are the best and my most favorite ones. Smitha is cool and clam and Rubika is firebrand. Their research and knowledge is exemplary.

[@thaker9339]

Yes these two are the best no doubt.

Godi reporters who are destroying the country

[@RojaJaneman]

Smita asks very uneducated/ill-informed questions sometimes

[@PankajChatterjee]

I loved when she said "yeh us zamane ki baat hai" while talking about early 2000... Made me realize how pre historic I am 😄😄😄😄

[@kuku2252]

2003 to 2006 she was in Bombay so it would be apt to call mid 2000s

[@Huma2014]

Fantastic interview..both Smita and Rubika were excellenat in their specific areas...loved every bit of it!

[@ican615]

This girl and her family have proven that why education is more important. Well educated family definitely bring their children in a right manner. I really like this interview of Rubika.

[@Satkat_Ind3981]

Excellent interview. Really appreciate what Rubika said- this is what I call secularism and not what a particular party or any community says. We are all Indians-period.

[@snehagawali2299]

Rubika Liaquat ... She was stunning... The ideal personality and a good human being and she is the inspiration to all of us... And i want to say that if all people think and behave like her .. then heaven is on the earth... I really hats of to her... She is doing really good work...

[@gurudath4087]

I can relate to Rubikaji when she says "main uss galli se nikal hi nahi paayee"and when she says " my memories of my mom is that of ICU"... It's a year since my Amma expired and the trauma she went through when she was on the ventilator and the wires of those bp managing machines never gets out of system... a hugh hugh respect to Rubikaji.. i have always liked her fire brand journalism and anchoring but this side has made me her Ally... God bless you Rubikaji...🙏🙏🙏

What a news anchor!!! More power to Rubika Liyaquat. Truly enjoyed this podcast. God bless!!!

[@maainfomedia1637]

This is very great interview it should also be dubbed in many Indian languages than in different international languages to know real India. It is so clear, and this is what India is now.... Where so many things have changed, and we are living so freely. India is a great country in many ways we must enjoy every bit of it.....Thanks to Ms. Smits Prakesh for putting such and interesting show in pod cast and great to know Ms. Rubika Liyauat... All the very best....

[@harithapa9963]

Though I am from Nepal, i really love how rubika conduct the show, she is against the extremism of any religion ....i have seen replying to maolanas of her faith and also the pandits and sadhus who talk non sense. I find her liberal practitioner.... and strongly stand for more education to muslims children rather than politicizing it .. specially i liked her stand on tripple Talak & Burka at schools.. You are doing just great

[@munnasir5339]

A candid and affable outspoken blue ribbon Muslim ,India needs lots of like her

किसी के बाप से नहीं डरना शिवाए अपने बाप से। चिर स्मरणीय वाक्य है ये। आपके पापा एक सुंदर दिल दिमाग वाले व्यक्ति हैं यह तो आपने साबित कर दिया है। लियाकत साहब को दिल से सलाम।

[@srinivasavaradhansudarsana7207]

Excellent story about her family. Very supportive father and successful females. Also, it's difficult to find the right talent in many women who are modest. Encouraging them is next thing. Supporting them to succeed is ultimate.

[@haroonrashid7463]

Appreciations for both of you. Appreciated for the rights and humanity.

[@veejay3289]

You were rightly born in a muslim family to prove that all muslims are not with mulla mentality and know how to glean out right from the wrong. Your father is a great soul who pushed your mother to discover the talent within her and make her family proud. Hats off, really!!

[@salonipandey3468]
