If you would like to read the full ayat, then check the reference. 💬For example take a look the first statement: 🌹Don't insult (Q 49:11 ), when you google Quran 49:11, then you will see the complete surah’s English translation and you will see following: ☝🕋O believers! Do not let some ˹men˺ ridicule others, they may be better than them, nor let ˹some˺ women ridicule other women, they may be better than them. Do not defame one another, nor call each other by offensive nicknames. How evil it is to act rebelliously after having faith! And whoever does not repent, it is they who are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.☝🕋 🤲🌻ALWAYS REMEMBER🌻🤲: ✍Allah is the most merciful and forgiving, no matter how much you have been sinning, run towards Allah , turn to Allah and repent , ask for forgiveness. Some references from the Quran: 🌺🌺🌺🕋Quran 39:53🕋🌺🌺🌺 Say, ˹O Prophet, that Allah says,˺ “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins. He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 🌺🌺🌺🕋Quran 25:70🕋🌺🌺🌺

Basically everybody can speak at the same time, can jump in and interuppt anyone and at one moment there can be multiple conversation acros the table ,,, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ... each converstaion is being followed and understood simultaneously and commented upon too by each person! Seriously you have no idea how fun this was and how difficult it is to explain this way of being to anyone from the south (albeit he is a Amritsari punjabi but raised in Chennai!).

Tehseen lacks both intellect and conviction to be part of this discussion. I appreciate his guts because no other congress supporter would come to this discussion knowing they would be decimated.

[@srdshukla4]

he came coz behind the scene they are good friends, and he is just there so they could reap benefits from both the parties. . . At least his brother actually does some hardwork. . .

Congress MUST understand - Once the law UCC is brought in - you can always fine-tune. Opposing UCC is anti national as far as average citizen is concerned. One nation, one law, one right and one duty should be the goal. Change is only constant🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@salindrachandra9750]

One of the best discussion I have ever seen over a long period of time

[@theadventureatlas]

I wish all TV debates would have been like this. Just look at the panel. One intellectual from the right wing (Mr. Anand), One Intellectual from the Left (Mr. Tehseen), one is a prominent defence and foreign policy expert (Mr. Abhijeet), and one is a national and international politics expert (Mr. Sareen). All the topics were discussed with logic and facts no rubbish of what they said and we said bullshit was there. But best of all is the end result i.e. sheer gain of knowledge.

[@marspalk7611]

[@itsover9008]

I don't think Mr. Anand is right wing. He only talks about contentious issues, and freely talks about religion, which is why he gives that right wing vibe. Mr. Anand is pretty centrist and fact based.

Instead of inviting Tehseen even once, invite Abhijit twice. Tehseen opens his mouth because he has to say something; Abhijit opens his mouth because he has something to say. The former is like that annoying kid who wants to sing a song at every gathering, but does not know the lyrics.

[@harshrajpoot1]

Tehseen is so cringe man He keeps shout like dog

[@VS-pk6ey]

Wonderful - each and every participant brings a unique perspective enriching the conversation. Of course, Anand Ranganathan and Abhijit tower over everyone with their intellect. Must commend Tehseen for interacting in a very objective and polished manner with a completely opposite view with the threesome - takes a lot of maturity- hats off to Tehseen who does it with aplomb.

Really felt like the podcast was very inconclusive. Smitaji wasn't at her regular form, who would've given proper time to each person, rather they all were just talking over each other.

They are ROITS n FINANCIAL FRAUD BUSINESSES n Scams n Corrupt activities n CORRUPTION n Anti-National external businesses n ILLEGAL PRACTICES n ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS n GENOCIDES n Naxalism n urban Naxalists n many others and etc an etc. List goes on and on. Count is unlimited mastermind hidden agenda n secrets will can't be exposed as it is 100 years of conspiracies. 1984 Sikhs genocide n 1990 Kashmir pundits genocide. Bhopal Gas tragedy n many hidden secrets of Riots by Kalisthan n Naxalites. And many 100s of genocide n riots n Naxalites are neverever QUESTIONED THROUGHLY as needed for decades by the worst media persons n Journalists . Mr. Singh is foolish n bookworm Economist. This is proven clearly. As you dont know, economy you are thinking that he is great. Congress members always follows blindly western ideas without any Sense of Reasoning n without any brain 🧠.
