Bro,

1. You know that clip is misquoted. Youre very happy to point it out elsewhere, but here youre being semi salty fully knowing the context of the chat.

2. If it is something you MUST respond to, you can literally come on my show and talk about it. I reached out to you the very day we released this episode.

The offer still stands. No pressure.

After watching Operation Sindoor Documentary, I would say 'Fuck inflation or ethanol, I will continue voting for BJP as long as national security isn't compromised'.

@TheShobhitAzad Link please. Haven't watched. Shame on the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to not promote it. India needs a good PR

This video is not from the Independence Day programme. The video is from the inauguration of my office in Barrackpore, which took place on 6th July, 2026 on the birth anniversary of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Ji.

The parties and some individuals spreading such fake narrative and propaganda should have verified the facts before circulating it and should have corrected their mistake. It is such disgraceful action, highly condemnable.

I am going to take legal action against the parties and persons for deliberately spreading propaganda against me.

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari said "We are Muslims of the mindset that tolerates. We have 4% Hindu population in Pakistan. They are as free as anywhere else. They would rather be with us than India" while also invoking the idea of Akhand Bharat

Pakistan's own census data tells a different story on numbers: the Hindu share of its population has fallen from about 14.6% in 1947 to 2.17% as per the 2023 census

Today we mark #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay. We recall the courage of all those who were impacted by Partition. It was a moment in history that tore apart several lives…families were uprooted, loved ones were lost and immense suffering was endured.

At the same time, overcoming this, people rebuilt their lives from nothing, turned adversity into achievement and contributed immensely to our nation’s progress. Their life journeys remind us of the strength of the human spirit.

May this day deepen our resolve to preserve harmony and brotherhood in our nation and collectively work towards building a Viksit Bharat.

Students need to watch and be aware. There is a huge problem in education and job and everything but don't let such people hijack your challenges for nefarious acts.

I think it is time to speak up.

I joined Newslaundry as a trainee journalist in 2016—I cannot recall the exact month—with a dream. I had just passed out of college and wanted to do the kind of independent journalism I believed in. At the time, I was working as a content writer in Bangalore. When I got the offer from Newslaundry, the understanding, though not formally in writing, was that I would work as a trainee journalist for three or four months and, if my work was good, I would be hired. So, essentially, it was an unpaid internship. And I was completely fine with that. I was young, I had a dream, and I wanted to become a journalist.

I shifted to Delhi and started working.

The space, as I experienced it, was extremely toxic. The language used by Abhinandan Sekhri towards employees was deeply hurtful to me. People around me told me that this was “normal” in the media—that this was how newsrooms functioned and that one had to develop a thick skin.

But it was not normal to me.

And I say that because I had already experienced other newsrooms.

I had worked as an intern with The New Indian Express in Bangalore under the then Chief Reporter Ramu Patil and Resident Editor V. Krishna. I was a student then. I remember that Ramu Sir and Mr Krishna would address me as “Ghosh Ji” or “Mr Ghosh”. I was not expecting that because I knew how the world worked. I knew I was an intern.

Later, I also worked as an intern with The Telegraph in Kolkata. I never heard any editor hurling abuses at reporters or interns in the way I experienced at Newslaundry.

So when I was told that such behaviour was “normal” in the media, I could not accept it.

It was not normal to me.

For everything, in my experience, the person in question was abused. I had never seen people speak to their own employees in that manner before. But I was repeatedly told that this was simply how things were.

The trauma became so bad that one incident remains very clear in my memory.

One day, after I wrote a story on Section 66A, the abuse was so harsh that I remember lying to the person I was reporting to and fleeing.

I stayed in Delhi for another week, until my parents could arrange a train ticket, and then I returned to Kolkata.

I have thought about writing about this many times. But I never did.

I knew how people could be bullied and intimidated, and for a long time I doubted myself. I questioned whether I was being too sensitive, whether this really was “normal”, whether I simply did not understand how the media worked.

Today, as many people are talking I think it was important for me to speak up.

I am speaking only about what I experienced.

I know the kind of responses that are waiting for me. I know what will be said and I know that many people may question me.

Maybe I am prepared today.

But I think I should have spoken about this much earlier.
