    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 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CutTheClutter: Complexities and politics as Nagas add new dimension & long-standing conflict in Manipur escalates
Q: Is the government functional?
Das Gupta says the government lacks the personnel and capacity to function effectively, with a chief minister managing many portfolios, deputy chief ministers at odds, and an unexpanded cabinet contributing to frustration among BJP legislators.
CutTheClutter: Complexities and politics as Nagas add new dimension & long-standing conflict in Manipur escalates
Q: How do things look compared to how they started? Is this the worst you have seen Manipur at, or is it just that it's a chronic situation which gets better sometimes, worse other times?
Das Gupta says daily life can look normal in Imphal and district centers, but visits and conversations reveal persistent tension. Violence has spread into mixed-population hill areas, making it harder to prevent flare-ups.
CutTheClutter: Fight over India’s growth numbers, data & new methodology, CEA V. Anantha Nageswaran joins in
Q: What is the impact of rebasing GDP to a new base year on last year's quarter-one GDP figure and this year's figures?
The rebasing shifts the numbers to a newer basis, which can make last year's quarter-one GDP appear smaller and this year's figure appear larger when compared on the same base; however, consistency is essential, and comparing on the same base year is crucial to avoid cherry-picking.
ThePrintPod: Weapons in Space: What the new Arms race means, and where US, China, Russia stand
Q: Can you compare the doctrinal approaches of the US, China, and Russia when it comes to space security and how they deterrence in space?
The US emphasizes deterrence by denial and resilience, China focuses on a system destruction warfare approach combining space and cyber attacks, and Russia leverages counter-space capabilities that could target critical space assets, each with different strategic philosophies and expected vulnerabilities.
ThePrintPod: Weapons in Space: What the new Arms race means, and where US, China, Russia stand
Q: Help us understand, what has really happened with the US acknowledging space weapons in orbit, and what does that mean for space as a warfighting domain?
The admission marks a shift from ambiguity to openness about counter-space capabilities, signaling that space is being treated as a warfighting domain and that the US aims to deter and potentially counter adversaries' space assets.
