Shut Up Ya Kunal - Episode 26 - P. Sainath, Journalist & Author

[@ggmax7043]

The recent 3 episodes with Suraj yengde, Kannan Gopinathan and P Sainath have been really resourceful, having read P.Sainath’s book “Everybody loves a good drought” and Suraj’s book “Caste matters”. These are the kind of people we need on podcasts to really understand the idea of India.

[@surojitguha]

True that. Kunal kudos to make young minds informed

My conversion from bhakt to liberal was triggered due to SUYK episode with Kanhaiya and Umar. I was like, they don't seem anywhere close to their portrayal in pop media. How I wish I can strap my family to watch some of these episodes. You have outdone yourself multiple times, this was one of those. Was such a pleasure and heartache at the same time to go through this episode.

For what it is worth, Umar Khalid's father is founding member of terrorist organization called SIMI.

I listened to Sainath Sir as a student at St Xavier's College, Mumbai in 2014 at Malhar Conclave. His truth bombs made me almost cry then and they still do. If you want to help him anyway, donate to PARI!

[@vikrambhandolkar]

Kunal more respect for what you have started. More power to you and happy to help in any form possible. Please interview more such grass root fighters

Mr Sainath is perhaps the rarest breed of journalists that don't exist anymore. We have huge respect for him

He is still alive, thus exists

[@chandrikaroy1060]

Thanks Kunal. Very good interview of P. Sainath. I have just finished reading this book. It's very good. Every body must read it

This Episode moved me to Tears. Especially when Mr. Sainath was talking about the Freedom Struggle. The way P.Sainath speaks, with such passion and conviction while being eloquent, erudite, and factual. He is, truly one of few remaining gold standards of Journalism in India.

[@Tamaltoru]

My first exposure to P. Sainath sir is through his book Everybody Loves a Good Drought. Thanks Kunal for arranging this interview with him. I'm from Purulia and a proud Purulian. Hearing about our district's history in freedom fighting from him is very much exciting to me.

[@bruhmoment5145]

Captain Bhau's instance made me emotional. Thanks to Mr. Sainath and Kunal for bringing this absolute wonder. I hope that Bharat finds itself again. Jai hind.

[@abhinabachatterjee9153]

Listening to P Sainath is always a pleasure and a huge learning experience. Thanks Kunal for filling the void the conventional media has left.

[@siddharth.official]

Can't say anything, just wow wow wow, because I'm not that capable enough to comment anything on this. Best so far, hats off to P Sainath for his continuous efforts towards farmers issues. Thank you kunal for bringing these awesome talks.

[@agnescraig2912]

Talking about education again the protesting farmers were anti Coporatization (Adani) of the farm laws. Very educated mindset, that's my opinion. Well done farmers!!!

sainath sir is a legend... a lot to learn from people like him.. thanks Kunal for such a moving and engaging talk❤❤

[@AsifKhan-dp3vd]

Thank you so much Kunal for bringing in P Sainath Sir to the episode ... What a man he is ...

[@HershO.]

kinda sad no one discusses Bhagat Singh in detail. His life was truly honorable. He is a true inspiration to me as a 16 year old; showed me the path to atheism. His letters from jail (a book about it) were what got me into fighting for freedom. Seriously recommend reading about him. Other than this, this episode was really eye-opening in the sense that Mr. Sainath truly put in perspective how valuable the tribal communities were to the independence struggle.

[@chiragj2231]

Thank you for bringing out this gem of an episode What a legend

[@ageless1003]

its really pathetic that you didn't know about P.Sainath.

[@chiragj2231]

@@ageless1003 I read his articles on PARI While you haven't learnt anything from sainath sir He just focuses on highlighting issue and never talks in negative tone about the government, that's the need of the hour now ,somewhere issue gets sidelined in expressing hatred towards the govt among some other activist ,and government replies to the hatred rather than the issue While here you are attacking me

[@jacobthomas5988]

Kunal you are true genius. Hats off to you for interviewing a great man of our times Shri Sainath ❤

[@poornimabisineer7436]

Hats off Kunal! I feel owe you something for this episode of talking at length with P.Sainath!

[@praleshsharma8706]

I read Mr. Sainath's book 'Everyone Loves a Good Draught' and it resonated with me. The examples and analogues he gives from the rural heartland are exceptional and will stick with you. You will find yourself quoting it multiple times, just because the real stories are so authentic and hard hitting. Thankyou Kunal for introducing this man with the youth.

[@_greengold_]

Sainath sir spoke with a lot of passion & it's like an eye opener for us that we need to recognise the unsung heroes of our freedom struggle. So beautifully spoken & presented. Thanks again for bringing alive the beautiful history of our very beautiful India.

[@sudarshanamukhopadhyay6491]

Great episode. Listening to P. Sainath is always enriching. Pre-ordered and read the book in one go. It's an absolute must-read for every Indian.

[@mufaddalrangwala6832]

While listening this episode we realise how much our generation is being mislead, how real history is being kept in the dark.

[@sheetalyadav4563]

After listening to this podcast, i went to read BHAGAT SINGH -THE READER again, this time when i read it, it hit differently, everything what Bhagat singh stood for has not been achieved, inequality is rising, imperialism got replaced by capitalist as he said white man will be replaced by brown men, in his times also he criticized newspapers that were communal, the solution he proposed for communalism was class consciousness of people. Even chandrashekar azad was against communalism - he said that its a propaganda of Shahi hindus and shahi muslims to divide the nation. Revolution the complete overhaul of the poltical system that Bhagat singh suggested sounds so pertinent in today's time. Be it hunger, poverty, unemployment, communalism it feels like india has come full circle. It's were we started. People who fought for india are in tears seeing this state of India.

[@Francesca-jj6ef]

Fun fact: He is the grandson of a Bharath Rathna and a former President of India (V.V. Giri). It's likely he had the resources to have a comfortable life but yet he chose to fight for the weakest in our society, rare to see such great people who not just talk but live their life with ideals.

[@apooru241]

He does have a comfortable life

[@samarjeetchavan9654]

I really want to Thank Kunal for this video. I come from Sangli, which is mentioned in this video. I always wondered the heroic story behind 'Prati-Sarkar' which was so well executed in pre-independence era. I also want to thank the team to put picture of Captain Ram Bhau from "Toofan Sena" and would urge all the viewers to read more about Krantisinha Nana Patil, and role of 'Prati-Sarkar' in independence movement.

[@rudrakshsingh6354]

I learned many new thing from this video, so thankyou Mr.P.Sainath and Mr.Kunal for bringing real intelligent and rational thinkers on your platform . Its would be great if you continue this series ,our youth really need to listen and understand people like him, Kannan, Yengde etc. Bcz youth is being hearded by the political propaganda which will lead them no where but worshipping them and then we shouldn't expect from the youth that someone will bcm Bhagat Singh and stand up and raise voice against the Politicians, filthy policies and Violation of constitution and law. So for the sake of brushing up mind of youth please continue this series with intelligent, radical, revolutionary great people. Thankyou Mr.Kunal Kamra

[@asithch]

Listening to P Sainath is consistently motivating. When I first heard him speak in 2013-2014 at the University of Hyderabad, he shared an important message that stuck with me: BJP is equivalent to congress plus cow. It's crucial that we shift our political discourse away from unnecessary topics such as Congress vs BJP, India vs Pakistan, Hindu vs Muslim, or National vs Anti-national and instead focus on rural vs urban and rich vs poor🤧

[@xyzguesswho9537]

agree with u....and more importantly the concept of "discussion without biases and bigotry/ego " shd take the centre of society..basically open minded/liberal approach. Anyways, dont see it happening anytime soon considering the limited rationality we indians have due to social conditioning...quality education on large scale may do the job but then how will corporate/politicians fool public? So this scheme will never come from govt part...
