  • as a whole, ideologically incoherent - deeply transphobic, also very pro-Palestine

  • Interesting topics but...

    The host has a really cringy style of delivery -she continually turns the discussion of an interesting subject into a personal beef which lessens the impact of the info. She might be good at research and production but she should get someone else to host because she effectively makes the show an unpleasant listening experience on every level.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Amit Singh
Q: Can you explain the implications and the recent conflicts involving Hindutva and its impact on North-East India?
Hindutva has significantly impacted the North-East, as seen in Manipur, where it has exacerbated tensions between different ethnic and religious groups.
Amit Singh
Q: Why is Hindu nationalism threatening Indian democracy and human rights?
Hindu nationalism never accepted secular democracy and is fundamentally opposed to India's constitutional framework, pushing for a Hindu authoritarian state based on hierarchical models.
Amit Singh
Q: Could you tell our audience what is Hindu nationalism?
Hindu nationalism is a supremacist ideology enforcing one religion, one language, and one culture over others, which is intolerant to dissent and rejects religious pluralism.
Omer Bartov
Q: Can you please elaborate your views on this and the background to the story?
Bartov discusses how determining whether current events constitute genocide is a complex issue involving both definitions and historical context.
Reem Alsalem
Q: How do you deal with the pushback from different sides concerning your role and perspectives?
I acknowledge that I receive feedback from both supporters and those who oppose my views, and it's important to remain steadfast in advocating based on research and analysis, rather than seeking approval from any specific group.
