  • This is a must listen podcast if you're politically and /or socially inclined in general. Not a lot of shows, especially in the audio only genre, truly can claim to host voices from every end of the ideological spectrum which BharatVaarta does with utmost neutrality. True to its name, this one is all you need to sound smart in your circle. Just wish there were more episodes every week than just one!

Q: How do you use stock price at some level as an indicator of company health?

If RSS Is So Powerful, Why Doesn't It Take Power? The Reign Behind Indian Politics | Sachin Nandha
