@@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.

I simply loved listening to Rubika. I was sitting in rapt attention in awe of her. She is the new age firebrand who is an inspiration not only to the girl child of her kuom but also to each and every girl in the Country. 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. We would love to listen to her and get to know her growth and success story. I'm serious.

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.

[@anandashani9923]

I endorse every bit of what she has mentioned over the course of 2 hrs. We need more of such journalists...👍

[@ammitpchawda3610]

Wow Interesting !! A very enlightening episode, an eyeopener for women who belong to the Muslim Community!! I wasn't knowing much about Rubika but after listening to her will follow her work. Thanks for the wonderful Podcast Ma'am!

Smita Ji, you are beacon of hope for jounalism. I usually don't trust media blindly but when it comes from you, I do ..... Thanks for being there 🥂🥂

Listening to you, i feel so positive... about our country, our future daughters... please accept my sincere pronam and more strength to you... Ma tujhe salam🙏💐🇮🇳💐🙏

Good to see there are some Muslim sherni left in India❤ Love you Rubika

Are You not a Sherni,,, every educated woman is sherni,,,only Education can do it.....❤❤❤

[@aapsara82]

Watching her very carefully from San Francisco, USA along with many friends. Please tell her that she is the best in Indian Media and Hero to many young kids of Indo-Americans. We personally love ❤️ her interview with Bageshwar Dham, Shree Direndra Shashtriji. In fact she is a firebrand reporter, better than Rajat Sharma in AAP ki Adalat. All the best.

Smitha Mam... in this world of journalism where if one is hounded the other don't care /just enjoys the scene, you are getting everyone in your faculty across that Raw Wood Table (which I am a fan 🥰). Respect 🙏🏼

From 12:30 to 15:30 absolutely true story of every person who is an "outsider" to the "English-speaking liberal elite" of our country and considers Hindi to be the dominant medium of communication among Indians. This is primarily the reason why such elites have a problem with Narendra Modi. He speaks English in desi accent. Whereas the elites have not yet come out of the colonial hangover and believe that only a person who can speak English like an Englishman should rule over this country. They forget that the British Raj ended in 1947 and then again in 2014.

I am fascinated to see Rubika mam. Earlier I had perception of media is corrupt by watching channels like ek deshbhakt and all but now it is totally changed. Hats of to your hard work.

[@nishajaihindajain9192]

Same with me . I use to hate her thinking she is a part of godi media .

[@bhagirathn]

Maam Rubika ...breaking the ice and the wall gets vanished. Firebrand, mature, meaningful insights and really orated. You are already a big a hero to all the new generations of women in this country and around the globe. When you came to the 'scene' some 5/6 years ago, we just thought 'oh just another pretty face', but your anchoring was path breaking and 'galloping'. And your overall objective of 'NATIONAL INTEREST' at large, too would have changed the young minds to think about our nation as a whole. One last word for maam supriya, you are slowly winning a lot of fans and respect. Just wish that your polirtical leanings should always remain neutral and neither BJPish or Congressish.. Thanks

[@friendsabhijit]

Two of my favorite ladies talking their heart out!!! I can listen to you both for hours together!! Lot's of love.... God Bless you both!!

[@seshanm54]

The characteristic of a fine interview is that the viewer, at the end, feels that s/he has come to "know" the interviewee. Smitaji got Rubika comfortable enough with professional competence and natural warmth, to let the public up close and personal....And Rubika did full justice to that opportunity.🙏🌾

[@Chhoti_Patelan]

Wow Rubika is from Rajasthan…proud moment

[@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.

[@geetamkurve7070]

Hats off to you Rubika. We need journalists like you. You are a very honest and genuine person. What is in your heart, comes in your mouth. I am sure people slowly and surely appreciate you, your views, your interviews, your debates. I am proud of you Rubika. God bless.

[@jayap3557]

These two girls making light of their advanced pregnancy and working through those tough months is amazing...and the "zulfon ka rang sunehra...jheel si neeli aankhen" digression ... just amazing...truly how could they put those lines on someone like saira banu... hilarious...! Ms.Liaquat is an amazingly different woman professional - beautiful... glamorous...so proficient in hindi - (she must be proficient in urdu as well)... very grounded and family bound as well - far better than many others in her walk of life tho she is a bit loud spoken... she is a role model for all girls... despite those scary high heels :-)

[@YashSharma-ip6zo]

Lots of love for Rubika Ma'am! We need more people like you to make this world better.❤

[@Lakshmi_Iyer]

Great to hear Rubikaji in a different studio. Wish many women like her gets into mainstream media in the male dominated world. Wish Rubikaji many years to hold herself.

[@AmanKatiyar77]

Rubika mam is always excellent and straightforward....❤❤❤Thanks Smita ji for this great podcast... India needs more women like Rubika...

We need more people like Rubika to ensure actual empowerment of Muslim women! Respect to her for accepting truth about how every family who was Hindu was converted. She's awesome !
