This week we are joined by stand-up artist Sanjay Rajoura, along with the usual Hafta gang comprising Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande and Anand Vardhan. The discussion kicks off with a brief conversation on the resignation of the editor of New York Review of Books, over a Jian Ghomeshi article.
The discussion then moves on to rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal’s offer to step down as Bishop, followed by the fiasco between Star (Broadcaster) complaining to BCCI about Virat Kohli’s absence from the Asia Cup. Also, the inevitable question that arises: should India play Pakistan?
The panel also discusses Mohan Bhagwat’s comments about Hindutva, Venkaiah Naidu’s remarks calling the English language a disease and more.
For more listen in.
