Interesting conversations on Bharat, for Bharat.

[Ashish Dhar @infinitchy]

I was on @hgrastogi's podcast & it was one of the longest and most engaging conversations I've had in recent years. Hari is releasing it in parts and the first 40 mins are out. We discuss Pahalgam, democracy, feminisation of discourse, etc. Trigger Alert! https://t.co/i8n0aGaiNb

Indian Army Pulverizes Terrorist Launchpads

As a response to Pakistan's misadventures of attempted drone strikes on the night of 08 and 09 May 2025 in multiple cities of Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, the #Indian Army conducted a coordinated fire assault on terrorist launchpads, pulverizing & razing them to cinders.
The terrorist launchpads, located close to the Line of Control, were a hub for planning and executing terror attacks against Indian civilians and security forces in the past. The Indian Army's swift and decisive action has dealt a significant blow to terrorist infrastructure and capabilities.

Re-establishing deterrence is the only solution India is left with failed terrorist-nation-states like Pakistan.

@Gen_RajShukla explains lucidly.

[Raj Shukla @Gen_RajShukla]

[Nagrik @nagrikpod]

He highlights the need for a calibrated response with military kinetics at the forefront, alongside other statecraft options like diplomacy and economic measures.

He also touches upon Pakistan's internal political and military challenges, contrasting India's approach to addressing insurgencies primarily through politics with Pakistan's military-driven politics.

He explored India's rising power, national security reality, and the strategic necessity of placing force at the center of its calculus while maintaining strategic restraint to empower action when needed.

[Nagrik @nagrikpod]

In this podcast episode, Lt. General Raj Shukla discusses the recent terrorist attack in Kashmir, viewing it as part of a terror ecosystem used by Pakistan as an instrument of statecraft.

He argues that the attack, which targeted civilians, crossed a "red line" and is a seminal challenge for India. He argues why India must respond responsibly and decisively, emphasizing that not acting would be irresponsible.

Part 1 live now!

🏠 “Roti, Kapda aur Makaan” — but why is Makaan still out of reach?

In this conversation, Prof. Gurbachan Singh explains why real estate in India isn’t just expensive — but infact a man made problem.

From distorted perceptions about cities, to why infrastructure isn’t translating into new urban hubs, he unpacks the deeper policy mindset behind India's urban housing problem.

It’s time we asked tougher questions about how India is really growing and why license permit quota raj exists in latent forms even today!

To improve or maintain your standard of life, you need energy. Energy, being primarily fossils based, produces emissions.

Our standard of life improvement leads to global warming. To break this cycle, we need Nuclear Energy - the densest source of energy production ever possible.

We bring a new episode on NUCLEAR ENERGY.

What about betting platforms?
Dream11, Pokerbaazi, and other scam platforms. Will the finance ministry ban those?

India needs agri-reforms, our public-sector capex needs trimming (especially inefficient railways), Budget'25 is still mediocre without any material changes (except IT breaks).
