Espionage, National Security, & Geopolitics with Vikram Sood - Former Head, R&AW | Bharatvaarta

[@Bhadrakalishakti]

Whatever her accent, the girl anchor os asking very sharp and nuanced questions and some of them have to be answered very diplomatically so kudos to Sood sir too for his response!

[@ckcariappa]

[@dheeranvinoth6258]

But it's hard to understand her accent. At least I'm not used to it.

[@siddheshdeshpande7183]

Looks like she has a somewhat Scottish accent, just guessing here. I don't really feel any pretence in her accent. Instead of being put off I am actually intrigued as I have never heard such an accent coming from any Indian lol

[@krishnatiwary2776]

It’s a fake accent … she can do better than this.

[@ehaaron]

Why does she talk like that? it's so pretentious

[@ckcariappa]

When we started Bharatvaarta in Feb 2020, Vikram Sood sir was on my wishlist of guests for the pod and I'm thrilled that we could finally host him! Thank you to Sagorika Sinha for enabling this. Thanks to the crew: Thiru, Gunjan, Jacob and the rest for the research, production, and everything else. Thanks most of all to Mr. and Mrs. Sood who were such gracious hosts! 🙂🙏 Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did putting it together. If you do, don't forget to share this with your friends and family.

this is a great podcast. Loved this format without edits. 43:26 It's a misconception that the Pakistani army targeted Bengali Muslims. I was also under this assumption until recently. While they did hunt down Muslim especially Muslim intellectuals at the beginning of Operation Searchlight, the majority of the Pakistani army's medieval savagery was borne by Bengali Hindus. Their homes were marked with yellow 'H' signs, and 90% of the refugees in India were Hindus. The army used Hindus as scapegoats to keep Bengali Muslims in line.

[@venkag]

This interview could have easily been the best I’ve ever seen or heard, if not for the interruptions from Sagorika Sinha and at times by Roshan Cariappa while Mr. Sood was discussing critical topics e.g. engineered chaos in the neighborhood. It’s rare to have the opportunity to listen to a trained intelligence head, and I wish there had been deeper discussion on the implications of the Russia-China relationship, why the U.S. president met with Khalistani leaders before meeting with Modi, and the rise of terrorism in India. The interview started off well, but it seemed overly focused on prepared questions rather than following up on the insightful points Mr. Sood raised

If you realise the statistics given to the public in the country are already, questionable. As far as India positive or shining remember a few decades ago, let's first actually make it positive for every Indian across the country. Travel to tier 2 & tier 3 cities and smaller towns etc. and see how positive things are at the ground level you will get a very rude shock.

Top down. Yes, it matters who sits at the top. People at the top can be supportive of our intelligence and armed force assets, or can work against and expose the whereabouts of our assets to the foreign powers. It has happened, demoralizing our forces. Our past leaders have also bought substandard arms and equipment to our forces and pocketed big time from the scams. And yet, some people keep voting for the same people. Has a lot to do with the lack of right kind of education in India. Lot of people to this day are divided on many different fault lines and still suffer from mental colonization. When people wake up quitting Bollywood and too much sport, they will elect the right leaders who in turn can provide the right kind of support to our forces. The forces once given freehand can secure our national interests easily. All depends on the people, they need to decide for themselves what they want. If they put their selfish goals ahead of national interests then Lord Ram help us.
