Barkha Dutt Vs Anupam Kher ,Telegraph National Debate 5th march 2016 | Logic Vs Impulse

Video courtesy :: ABP ananda
The motion of this year's TT debate is 'Tolerance is the new Intolerance' and it's like one of those words or phrases that read the same way, no matter which way you read them, left to right or vice versa. Speaking for the motion: Suhel Seth, the actor Kajol and the actor Anupam Kher; speaking against: Justice Asok Ganguly, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala and Barkha Dutt, journalist and TV anchor; moderating the debate is Mukul Kesavan, writer and historian.
On the scuttlebutt I hear that Suhel Seth's opening line is going to be something like 'Chairman Sir, it's unfair! There are only three speakers on our side of the motion while the other side has four, including you!' As it happens, Seth doesn't actually come out with this except tangentially, kicking a tepidly waved corporate boot at Kesavan's invisible jhola, but only in passing. Kesavan himself is the model of propriety and neutrality, liberal jhola kept well out of sight, as in his introductory remarks he describes Anupam Kher as 'durable' and Suhel Seth, memorably, as 'an ornament of corporate India'.
Seth doesn't mind - or more likely doesn't notice - as he begins the arguments for the motion. It's a warm evening at Calcutta Club, the banks of lights are full on the speakers, but it's still mystifying how the sweat starts flying off Seth's face even before he's finished a sentence. I'm waiting for him to say the line that's been his favourite since he was a La Martiniere student in the 1970s: 'HANG THEM!' or, 'LET THEM HANG!' but this evening the Calcutta boy disappoints, he doesn't want to hang anyone, or not yet anyway.
In fact, as has never been suspected of him, Seth swings both ways, with the occasional yorker and slower ball in between. Bengal, we are told, is a Temple of Tolerance, Mamata Banerjee is a 'timid lady' (it was sarcasm, one could tell), intolerance comes from 'media circuses', and then he uses his second favourite word, 'idiots', several times. He tells us how 'we were all' intolerant of Marwaris and how a certain derogatory word is used for people from the Northeast. He says the PM should speak up and how he looks forward to a gender-neutral corporate India. He proclaims how branding an entire nation as intolerant is (not idiotic but) 'stupid'. 'India is a land of ideas!', 'Calcutta is a city of ideas!', 'Intolerance should not become a late-motif'. At the end of his speech you can't tell what Suhel Seth is selling but you can tell he is a salesman.

Anupam Kher has spoken so clearly on the subject . Hats off to you Sir.You rock. To all, who are against Modi , a lesson for them..

[@prakashshetake2000]

Barkha says she came for something other than Modi & Congress, but we know what she came for...

[@overconfidenttelevision5175]

i support anupam kher speech..........

[@pardeshzara9177]

I m very sure Amir khan must have watched this speech !

Respect for Anupam.

[@sathishsharma1820]

Great lines , True words from heart , really appreciate you sir , shame on Ganguly & Barkha ,,,,,,, keep going Mr. Kher , INDIA stands with you ,

[@prashantdhawan6040]

Kher spoke what the silent majority of this country thinks

[@ADITYA72]

We require more such debates

[@deepakjain2837]

Well done Anupamji, highest regards to say firmly and openly. Salute to u.

[@drhemantpatel55]

baseless talks by burkha

[@ISHLAME1234]

barka is just twisting the scene to suit her needs. funny

[@umeshambadi2519]

I am with Anupam , today , tomorrow and always in this matter!! Here the dirty prestitute politician iis Burkha

[@sheetal4877]

Barkha Datt spoke like a congressi and not like a journalist and he proved that in 2001 against acting and fixing Mr Modi,. All know this no need to explain...

[@sekha123]

Well done Anupam.You were right on spot .

[@vivekarora9735]

Hi time people like Shri Anupam Kher are brought to Govern the nation via the Rajya Sabha route. We need straightforward thinkers today and he is one who expresses fearlessly. One may not agree with him in totality but his clarity of thoughts is praiseworthy. Congress is bankrupt as leaders like Rahul have gobar in the upper storey.

[@ranjitsahoo9993]

Fantastic speech.. very true Anupam Kherji.. Very good..

[@3121ization]

LOGIC VS IMPULSE ABSOLUTELY TRUE !!

[@rohitnarayan7408]

Burkha is talking about dadri but not malda n purnia.ahe said abt jailalitha,badal n all but not kejriwal nd others congressis.

[@basantmittal759]

Barkha dutt is very nervous... because pappu has fallen flat... She is not getting any money from 10 janpath...

[@economictimes4938]

I do not think Kanhaiya is innocent. Though he has not uttered a word against India, He stood by those who agitated against India, in nothing less than supporting the thought against India. The legal system has taken its own course. There is no point in blaming the government because Kanhaiya himself is motivated by politics.

[@poet_pratik]

How frustrated she can get with Arnab's growing Veiwership and Support...

[@SandeepKumar12]

where were you barkha when students were being beaten by police at NIT Srinagar..??

[@nawabidishes3000]

we all indians are one no one can divide us

[@koyalbhattacharjee]

i support anupam kher speech.... nd anyone who supports anti national activity has to be punished.

[@harishprasaddwivedi9343]

very fine speech by Shri Anupam Kher Ji, exposing those anti Bhaarat elements, barkha is always anti Bhaarat

[@sawaisingh2567]

Mr anupam was best. she was just burst hahahaaaaa.

[@dsjoshi060978]

It is amply clear that media has started taking political sides. No prizes for which side is Barkha representing. Intolerance and anti - national rhetorical is sheer rubbish. Anti Modi movement is in full swing. But against the general perception many sitting on the fence are inclined to join his vision.

[@kishorekk20]

Anupam u spoke the best n real

[@upendraagrawal9261]

useless talks by burkha

[@harishprasaddwivedi9343]

Well done Anupam Kher Ji,

[@abhinavpatel7519]

great speech!!!!

[@r21061991]

excellent speech by anupam kher

[@indianmilitary]

"Indians forgot the art of conversation" - with whom?? You can't converse or rationalize with children who want to sell their mother.

[@vijaybhatt5196]

Brkhaadutta property 230000 crore.. khaae aaye ??????????????????????????????????

[@AMITJG6242]

Still a long time but lets pledge to vote next time in LS elections..I guess thats the best way to express our anger against the propaganda of these presstitutes..lets save this nation

[@saikrishna8595]

Burkha speaking about ethics of journalism..... Haha

[@pacewalk7396]

Says it is not about congress or BJP. then goes on to say aboutJayalalita qualifying her as one who is close to B.J.P . Prakash Badal Is an ally of the B.J.P . Mufti Saed , an ally of the B.J.P. She spits venom against BJP or anything that has saffron shade on it. Hypocrite Barkha Dutt

[@praveenkumar-yz4yg]

so barkha is not supporting congress but just targeting govt of bjp

[@avedheshvyas]

बरखा ने भाषण तो शुरू यह बोल कर किया की हम क्यों यहाँ बीजेपी vs कांग्रेस की बात कर रहे है or खुद ने पूरे टाइम नाम लिया बदल, मुफ़्ती, राजनाथ सिंह। वाह रे बर खां धत

[@silverplatecateringgujarat3205]

I am with anupam , barkhaji ap galat ho

[@dayaljha8314]

Barkha Dutt you are the supporter of Congress we know well..................................please don't act..........................

[@pranojit]

Listening to Barkha is like a "noise-box" with constant howling with no real substance. Anupam Kher has my consent to speak-up on my behalf.

[@puneetmishra3452]

Barkha is dumping herself ...ha ha

[@basantmittal759]

barkha dutt is poision

[@Hirenmazumdar]

[@satyasingh3543]

[@doondireddy]

Anupam's right to speak :-) right or wrong you spoke to judge, that's enough from tomorrow they will think twice before talking and giving wrong judgements.

[@vikramgupta7329]

[@mu9063]

Barkha U R pakistani?

[@lokup08]

Shame on you Barakha Dutt!! The people like you being Journalist have greater responsibilities towards society and towards our Great Nation, your speech sounds like wrapped poison in Sweet Bengali Sweet, however, I congratulate Anupam Ji for his remarkable speech !! India needs people like you. Keep it Sir! The nuance like Kahaiya Been Laden must be banished and thrown on the borders of Pakistan and Bangladesh with their families. This Sort of JiaChands sold our country in past and they will try to act same in future. We must not let them do this.

[@NARESH7908]

A > B

[@patelpatel5217]

anupam saab very very very good

[@abhishekarya7249]

step back from politics , how did it became bjp vs congress . i did not came here to speak against bjp or modi and use more than half his time to speak on the topic .... great example of Hypocrite Barkha dutt

[@curlyconstant]

barkha started her speech so beautifully but then she goes " blah blah blah. ........... I am stupid. ........ blah blah blah........ I am changing the subject"

[@dipanshumansingka]

barkha said is what is post court. anupam said is before taking to court. both the version are correct. in between court was there, which changed this person.

[@Anapuzha]

u r referring to Arnab, but Madam, u r anti national too

[@rajeswararaokvss3485]

pl. see the you tube video of Sri Jaggi Vasudev on intolerance. It answers all the questions. He replied to same Barkha Dutt in a altogether different way. View it and make your own judgement . Jai Gurudev.

[@abhi_legacy]

The dirty politics had always been done by Congress are you paid by Congress. Correction# logic - anupam & impulse - barkha. She was the editor of ndtv from many times Congress was in power she never questioned wat happen at that time in India and now you are questioning since you don't like modi. You are comparing biased channel editor with anupam kher. Shit on you. Now your channel is playing dirty politics.

[@smolleti]

Arnab is thousand times better than you burka, If there is presstitute rankings you will stand first in it.

[@dipakshah6474]

barkha. could not. convience. us. as. anupam. kher. salute to. anupam. kher. sab

[@basantmittal759]

barkha .. please tell ur marriage secret

[@shreyasholay6258]

Barkha 'Bikau' Dutt!

[@22ksmeena]

Rise of another great leader... Anupam kher

[@shubhambane9006]

Beef or manslaughter.... Ssly Anupam sir sounds way more sensible than barkha maam I mean i never heard the word intolerance before 2015 At loksabha congress itself was intolerant of listening the opposition

[@abhishekguptaradha]

presstitute

[@friend400600]

Anupam and Barkha are talking of two different sides of the same coins. India is a diverse, federal nation and all points of views, short of breaking up this country must be allowed to be voiced, heard and implemented. That is Barkha for you, and she is right. Anupam too is right, saying that this debate about tolerance appears to be a political strategy to discredit the present government and derail its path to progress. Indian need to be more tolerant of diverse point of view, and opposition needs to be tolerant of people's verdict which has elected this government and allow it to function in the interest of all Indians.

[@basantmittal759]

Barkha dutt..... why do not u wear burka

[@kishorekk20]

burka u look like u r dressed up

[@happiesingh3334]

Barkha Dutt you are an educated woman.

[@janmanjaygupta3457]

Who is barkha dutt

[@DeshBhakt588]

priceless sir..

[@sraghupati]

barkha dut jaise logo ke liya "apna kam banta bhard me jaye janta"

[@bruce124421]

if barkha was really logicial,people would have seen the debate on ndtv etc.No need to argue with illogical people.

[@manjupandey5166]

Barkha u r not a journalist but a news trader.

[@sandeepchaudhary6179]

coment karne walo ko like dekh kar apni aukat dekh leni chahiye..

[@SuperDharuv]

please tell me that, now what do u think about Kanhaiya after his speach on our RESPECTED ARMY. You said something in this speach THAT YOU ARE A ARMY LOVER. Now what Ms Barkha why are u not Tweeting or giving any comments he said bad thing about our Army. Why are u speechless now.

[@shalakawaghmare7528]

there is a way to present a point n u did it extremely well with facts especially in a place everyone's views r to b heard n respected..barkha dutt 👍👍👍

[@rahulnamaste]

Truly appreciate Barkha's speech. Fan

[@saurabhsinghbaghel3999]

I'm agree with anupam sir..... Aaj desh ka vikash ho raha hai desh ki tarakki ho rahi hai aur janta modi ji ke sath hai....lekin kuchh kutto ko bhokne ka mauka nahi mila to "intolerance" ka topic utha liya.....shame on bikau media, shame on burkha dutt

[@abyrathore]

[@jafaraliabdul]

28 is the right age for being an youth icon.

[@ajsin23]

[@Anapuzha]

Anupam ji, emergency was not declared in 1984

[@writer1437]

Proud of you Barkha Dutt! The society seems to have forgotten the art of reasoned debate. Kanhaiya, you, and many other keeping it alive.

[@joycek7494]

Anupam Playing on emotions while Barkha Dutt making valid points.And when Mr. Kher has no rational arguments then he burries his head into his mobile. Sad this is the man people choose to follow.

[@praveenkumar-yz4yg]

barkha is going away from real politics but leaning towards media politics

[@mahmoodalamkhan8944]

anupam need to learn from barkha

[@Jitenderkumar-ie7wk]

You know what the problem of you guys u just play a script, not believe in answering question. I also not hear anti national word before, who give that word. I don't know why you politically active that much, ooo you are performing ur wife duty. Why not you questioning previous govt about their policies. Even here you not stand on your words.

[@pujabose248]

Anupam Kher doesn't even know what happened that evening!

[@0o7Mr]

nobody was agreeing

[@letsaqeebsay]

what a speech mam........i really appreciate it :)

[@neilroy4619]

It is a sad day for India when a national debate becomes a political stage for people to settle scores and promote their political parties. Calcutta, the land of free thinking where Tagore was born is shamed and in the name of debate, people are shouting themselves hoarse....Pathetic.

[@arvindojha7012]

Barkha .. so diplomatic & defensive with her debate...
