The central government rolled out GST last week pitching it as One Nation One Tax. Abhinandan Sekhri, Atul Chaurasia, Manisha Pande, Anand Ranganathan and Anand Vardhan discuss pros and cons of GST; is it really a ‘One Nation One Tax’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Israel visit; what took so long for an Indian Prime Minister to visit Israel? Also, Sikkim standoff, Donald Trump vs CNN, communal riots in West Bengal after a Facebook post and a lot more. Listen up, there are song dedications in the end too.
