Tehsheen is like that guy who has to defend the school bully because he is his best friend since childhood despite knowing that the bully is wrong. Tehsheen, bro, I know how you feel. It's really difficult to defend someone who you know is in the wrong. But he has made his bed. He has to sleep on it. His leap of logic sometimes surprised even him lmao. Just cut him some slack guys... you were too harsh on him. Toda rehem karo.

I really enjoyed this podcast. I live in the UK and have done so for the last 50 plus years, I was born here but I am of Hindu punjabi heritage. I have family in India. I love India and am so happy to see its rise. This podcast is brilliant and the people debating are a million times more knowledgeable then any analysts etc that you will find in the UK. For decades india had an inferiority complex about itself and its abilities because of the legacy of British colonial rule. You guys are doing great, keep striving forward, try to stay united and I see a bright future for India. I've studied international politics and I can tell you the west is sinking fast. The UK is turning into a real sh*t hole. They have imported millions of crazy immigrants from mainly Islamic countries who are causing havoc within the society. Their education especially at school level is terrible and they have a dumbed down population. They have a terrible, arrogant, biased media who constantly feed to public rubbish and propaganda especially anti india propaganda. They have a few elite universities and private schools which are very good but these are hard to get into and not really accessible by most of the population. The USA, UK and most of the west is going downhill fast.

I am not taking sides, neither I am bothered about what happened in the past. All I know is that Modi is winning because Hindus are not finding another option. Now u call it, Congress mistake or not but they are in their own world of thoughts with appeasement. For now Modi is the best option. But for 2029, we need a party that focuses on economic development and the majority centric right wing party. As of now, I can't see any other option.

Abhijit - I started following him ~2 years back and I could not STAND him initially. The crass humor, bad language, over the top appearance - everything about him irritated him.. and now... I LOVE the man (sorry woman).. he is the life of the group and surprisingly, he also knows when to shut up and cede the stage :) Anandji - 🙏 ekdum sahi, respectable, eloquent gentleman..but kabhi kabhi lagta hai he might be slightly sexist.. is it? Sareen sahab - believe it or not ..chutney ko sauce bolte hai western world mein 😂 I've been living in the US for several years now, and have been correcting the goras whenever I can.. abhi at least 10 goras know not to call it sauce Smitha - Nice work! You hold and guide this raucous caucus well 😅

[@CHAITHANYAkitta]

tehseen is the biggest duffer always. totally irrelavant rebuttals, only reason he makes sense to have him in this group is because he is the opposite/congi supporter out and out and his decent talks without abusing adds to the convo. Other than that i cant bear to hear his shit takes on anything. Not one good worthy point where many actual cases can be made, he never makes them, anywhere anytime

Some of the key highlights - the shout out to True Indology, Smita’s comment about getting serious when Shashi Tharoor’s name was mentioned as PM candidate, Sushant’s insights on Pakistan and AIM’s “catty” side😅. It’s the end of the year so makes sense to keep the convo light hearted.
