  • Shekhar Gupta Is Our Best Journalist

    Cut the clutter, National interest and first person second draft are some of the best sources of political knowledge in India. His experience and expertise is way ahead of any other media personnel on any Indian platform.

  • Please separate playlists for national interests and cut the clutter

    Thanks a lot for the amazing content, Shekhar ji and team.

    I would love it if the national interest feed is separated from cut the clutter. I enjoy both but sometimes can’t spare the time for following everything!

  • Praveen Swami >> Shekhar Gupta

    Praveen Swami has an immense flair for detailed and interesting storytelling, whereas Shekhar Gupta’s Cut The Clutter is full of clutter and forced metaphors, it is difficult listen.

  • Good content but Disappointing presenters

    The content is excellent; however, the podcast presenters are mostly disappointing. Some rush through the material, ending sentences unclearly and making it difficult to follow.

CutTheClutter: How West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala & Assam election results will redefine Indian politics

Q: How might the war affect India-Bangladesh relations and regional diplomacy?
A more cooperative regional approach could soften tensions if connectivity projects and energy cooperation advance, but India must balance its own energy needs with neighbors' expectations during stress periods.
ShekharSeSawal: LPG shortage,Trump's war on Iran, Iran's nuclear program,India-Bangladesh ties | ShekharSeSawal Ep50
