The real test of a journalist isn’t whether they can argue a topic well, but whether they can engage with opposing views without losing composure, curiosity, or honesty.

I disagree with much of @sardesairajdeep's politics and public positioning. But after meeting him at the Forum of Indian Professionals in Hong Kong @fiphkofficial - first at a fireside chat, then on a podcast - I walked away with genuine respect for one thing:

His professionalism.

He was always on time. He was candid. He was approachable. He took tough questions. He didn’t demand a sanitized conversation. He didn’t ask to see the podcast questions in advance. During the fireside, I bowled him a constitutional bouncer, which he answered with a philosophical sidestep. But he still stayed in the contest and engaged with my counter. He didn’t evade the counter just because it was inconvenient, even though the moderator would have happily moved on. That’s rarer than it should be.

In an age where so many public figures want control, curation, and comfort, the people who are willing to be challenged in real time stand out. You don’t have to agree with someone to recognize their professionalism. In fact, that may be the most honest time to do it.

Maybe the real mark of a professional is to have willingness and ability to face scrutiny without flinching.

Hope you enjoy the podcast. Here is the link:

FIPHK hosted @sardesairajdeep in Hong Kong for a #fireside at our annual #BehindTheHeadlines event. Held under Chatham House Rule, it was a candid, no-holds-barred exchange—tough questions, sharp insights, and plenty of warmth and humor. A truly memorable evening.

@sardesairajdeep Great to have you with us @sardesairajdeep - a memorable evening of ideas, dialogue, and thoughtful exchange. Thank you for taking both the tough questions and the lighter, more playful ones with such candour and warmth.

With 40% of our members & 33% of the Management Committee being females, we welcomed each of our female members that evening by presenting a rose and a small token of appreciation to celebrate IWD. We appreciate support from our sponsors were ICICI Bank Hong Kong & TAM Group.

We celebrated IWD over a fireside chat with Justice Dr. D Y Chandrachud. With the theme this year for Women’s Day of #GiveToGain, it is particularly fitting that we hosted the Justice, as his judicial legacy is deeply embedded with advancing women’s rights and gender justice.

It was a very engaging discussion, all under Chatham House Rule. Apart from the Fireside, we also did a podcast with him for our YouTube Channel for the benefit for all to hear his views. The evening was MCed by Reema Shankar.
