  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Geopolitics: China’s LAC Claims, Pakistan’s Iran-US mediation, G2, Turkey-Israel Tensions & rise of AfD
Q: What is Pakistan's role in mediating between Iran and the US, and are there active efforts to bring the sides back to negotiations?
Pakistan has stakes in the region and historically engages in optics rather than delivering the core mediation; the more substantive mediation is being conducted by Qatar, with Pakistan contributing through backchannel diplomacy and intelligence ties rather than being the principal broker.
CutTheClutter: China's barrier lake warning & fears of second flood:Special Edition with ThePrint reporter in Nepal
Q: Hi Akanksha. First of all, let me ask you if you feel safe and you are able to carry out your reporting without encountering too many hazards.
Akanksha confirms she is safe to report and that Nepal Police and the Army have designated safe areas for reporting, with access often limited to areas reachable by foot or helicopter depending on conditions.
CutTheClutter: Analogue paneer,oil guidelines & food rules: Maharashtra FDA Chief Tukaram Mundhe on #CutTheClutter
Q: How do you define your job as food safety commissioner in such a large state?
I focus on implementing the food safety laws, ensuring compliance across regulations, and coordinating with regulators and industry to protect public health while addressing both good and bad actors in the system.
CutTheClutter: NTA insiders, teachers & coaching institute owners: Key characters & conspiracy behind NEET 2026 leak
Q: How did the NTA experts succeed in leaking the paper?
The experts wrote down questions on chits, memorized some, and coordinated with an intermediary who circulated the content digitally, creating a trail that linked the leak to multiple states and coaching networks.
CutTheClutter: Origin & implications of CJP protest,Sonam Wangchuk’s strike—NEET leak, distrust in education system
Q: How did the 2026 NEET leak differ from 2024, and how did investigators approach the case?
In 2026 the leak originated from the source at the National Testing Agency, and investigators retraced the trail backward from buyers to the source, tracing connections through coaching centers and individuals like Shubham Khernar and the Bilwal family to Kulkarni, who allegedly had access to the entire paper.
