  • Excellent

    This podcast has given me, for the first time, a good insight into India’s pre and proto history, especially the Aryan debate. There is a lot of ‘noise’ on this subject in the world of podcasts, but here there only open - minded and scholarly discussions! Great work!!

  • Pathetic

    Hate this podcast because the host is too uncertain of his own convictions. He is like a weathervane.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is The Far Right Rising In Canada?
Q: What is the core issue impacting Canada's economic situation now?
The unsustainable nature of Canadian immigration policies and the lack of focus on long-term solutions create a complex and dire economic reality for Canadians.
Is The Far Right Rising In Canada?
Q: Kushal, how do we get to the crux of the issue around the far-right sentiment in Canada?
It comes down to mass immigration and its impacts, especially on communities like the Indian community, which is facing undue hatred and scapegoating.
India-Israel Sign Investment Agreement
Q: What is the future of the I2U2 alliance involving India, Israel, the US, and the UAE?
The I2U2 alliance is ambiguous but promotes cooperation without forcing India to choose between its alliances with the Emirates and Israel.
GST Reforms 2_0
Q: What are the pending reforms in your opinion, as far as GST and indirect taxation in India are concerned?
There needs to be a complete change in the way the tax officers are approaching businesses, and more work needs to be done on easing compliances, filings, and addressing litigation.
How Does India Negotiate With Trump?
Q: What do you say to folks who want India to also hedge Trump's ego?
I think it should have been that Modi should have just scheduled a weekly call with Trump and called him up.
