Journalist Aarti Tikoo joins the Hafta team to discuss relations between India and Pakistan. Manisha Pande, Anand Ranganathan, Anand Vardhan and Atul Chaurasia along with Aarti also talk about RSS’ ideology. Atul narrates a controversial story about the RSS, while Aarti asks Anand Ranganathan an interesting question comparing the outfit with the Jamaat-e-Islami. They also talk about Nirav Modi, the PNB fraud case, the sacking of an India Today journalist and how a parody tweet made it to Aaj Tak. A deep discussion ensues on how media organisations are okay with the labels they have got (be it Right-wing or Left-wing). Anand Vardhan explains his latest article on civil services aspirants and why his own students might not like the piece. Also, many emails from our subscribers. Listen up, there is a song dedication in the end too.
