  • Priorities

    Please get your priorities right. Devoting a whole podcast on ram mandir is waste of time and man hours of work. Religion must be practiced privately.

    When India is still a third country and lagging behind many especially China. We produce think tank studies, government reports and beard stroking orations while China accomplishes things.

  • Mindfulness

    You should loosely or in way use the word ‘world war lll’ in any of your podcast. It is irresponsible and you instill fear mongering in citizens. We already seen 2 world wars and many regional wars for decades. You should always find the wisdom to promote culture of peace and vanquish wars and culture of war. Some of your pieces are informational and thought provoking.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Assembly Polls: BATTLE OF THE CHIEFTAINS | Nothing But The Truth S2 | Ep 131
Q: What are the overarching trends across all five states regarding welfare versus growth?
The guest highlights that while welfare schemes drive short-term gains, sustainable support hinges on balancing growth with targeted anti-incumbency management and credible governance delivery across states.
Assembly Polls: BATTLE OF THE CHIEFTAINS | Nothing But The Truth S2 | Ep 131
Q: In Tamil Nadu, how does the presence of TVK's Vijay influence the DMK and BJP dynamics?
Vijay's 15% polling share acts as a spoiler that could either bolster Stalin by preventing a large anti-DMK consolidation or fragment opposition votes enough to alter the outcome depending on how his support consolidates.
Assembly Polls: BATTLE OF THE CHIEFTAINS | Nothing But The Truth S2 | Ep 131
Q: How does the ECI's voter list revision impact the campaign dynamics in West Bengal?
The ongoing list revision, including the deletions, could potentially swing around 20 seats by affecting urban and female voter segments, complicating anti-incumbency narratives for Mamata Banerjee.
Assembly Polls: BATTLE OF THE CHIEFTAINS | Nothing But The Truth S2 | Ep 131
Q: What is the strategic significance of West Bengal in this election cycle?
West Bengal is the focal battleground where Mamata Banerjee's incumbency and regional leadership are weighed against BJP's attempts to consolidate Hindu and minority votes, with large implications for the national opposition's cohesion.
ENDGAME FOR IRAN NUKES | Nothing But The Truth S2 | Ep129
Q: What are the realistic options if diplomacy fails and military action continues?
Options discussed include a full-scale ground operation to seize material, which would be technically and logistically daunting and escalatory, versus continued diplomacy with expanded incentives or constraints. The guest stresses that de-escalation and negotiated pathways are preferable to avoid wider regional and economic damage, but acknowledges hard choices remain on the table.
