I have just started and listened to just first 2 minutes. I am so fascinated by the sense of gra titude on Shekhar Gupta's face so couldn't hold myself but to write this. As a college student I was fan of Arun shaourie and red his editorial in Indian Express regularly and didn't know that he was removed as editor but could make it out by just reading editorial for 2 -3 days.

Speaking truth, speaking truth to power, and speaking truth to power consistently for decades - is what few pioneers like Arun Shourie and Shekar Gupta had been doing. They looked above and beyond their own selves, even when terrain ahead was pretty steep and rough from years before internet. Free press happens only because of brave journalists like them.

@narasimharaoajjarapu6362 2 года назад

It was like travelling down the memory lane. I used to read Shri Arun Shouri's articles in Indian Express. In his tenure as Editor Indian Express was the best news paper in India. I.E. was pioneer of investigative journalism and Shouri used to lead from the front. If I remember correctly even Antulay's Cenent Scam was brought to the light by Mr. Shouri. This is one of the best Off the Cuff interviews

@RanjanSarma 2 года назад

More than anything else, I like Mr Shourie for his spirit, his emphasis on doing the hard work, like reading documents, e.t.c. But, i think he is wrong about BJP, RSS. The beauty of Hinduism as a great personal spiritual journey didn't deter Ghori, Ghazni, e.t.c. If we want any chance to survive and be in a position to remember the traditions of our forefathers, we need an open-eyed definition of the 'other'. And it doesn't have to be based on falsehoods too. The real facts of the 1000 year rule of the 'other' in India provide enough material. The inward spiritual journey to find God doesn't cut it. If you are being slaughtered because of your religion, then trying to organize on the basis of religion is a required pursuit.

B.R.Ambedkar : Ranade, Gandhi and Jinnah I insist that if I hate Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Jinnah-I dislike them, I do not hate them-it is because I love India more. That is the true faith of a nationalist. I have hopes that my countrymen will some day learn that the country is greater than the men, that the worship of Mr. Gandhi or Mr. Jinnah and service to India are two very different things and may even be contradictory of each other.

The sad part today is even that Tughlaq is taken over by the establishment and has become propaganda magazine

@cimarrondrive31 2 года назад

Interesting and enlightening interview. I have immense respect for Shourie. But at the end of it I still don’t understand how or why Arun Shourie became a liberal champion and fell out with Modi. Modi hasn’t changed since the Gujarat days when Arun Shourie was rooting for his elevation to PM and praising the Gujarat model. If you call Modi communal now, he was the same then. If you call him autocratic now, he was the same then. If you call him anti-media now, he was the same then.

@mrgyani 2 года назад

A lot of ppl were fooled in 2014, me included. Ppl were dissatisfied with congress and wanted change, even a bit of right shift. I remember Raghav Bahl too did a conference called 'think right'. Shourie has always been center right. And Modi came with an agenda/ narrative of development and harmony. He bared his fangs only recently.. And that too because he realized economy isn't working, so he will have to turn the communal pot up.

@yogiadityanath3563 2 года назад

@@mrgyani See the problem is everyone nowadays says that in 2014 they started as centre right and then moved left because of Modi and his policies. But what they refuse to acknowledge is that they were economic centre-right in 2014 and political left today. Which isn't much of any shift; economic policies and political policies don't go hand-in-hand with either right or left wing in India. For instance, the RSS is political right but is economic far-left. I just wish people would elaborate on this difference. But the shift I do see are yesterwhile capitalists suddenly turning into communists when it comes to the farm laws solely because of a hatred of Modi. And a bunch of media houses championing them along in this attempt at keeping the farmers poorer, non-enterprenuerial and molly-coddled with cheap MSPs.

@zaurukraus9296 2 года назад

@@mrgyani agreed. The whole "ab ki baar, m**i sarkaar" thing was on everyone's lips. People were hopeful that the govt will be truly transformed. I remember how there was almost no communal/religious angle in 2014, and everyone was enthusiastic about the change for the sake of development. Everyone supported m**i thinking that he will bring progress and prosperity. What we got was economic blunders- bjp became the richest party while the Indian GDP collapsed... No wonder the religious temperature was turned higher in 2017 to compensate, and the heat is getting turned up and up with further economic loss.

I was surprised when Arun joined TOI under Girilal Jain, the most despised Editor for Express readers & Arun fans. However, even though Shourie lost his TOI job within a week, but he managed to convert Girilal Jain into a Hindutva follower, alas GJ died too soon. Ashwini Sarin's investigative story on Brides for Sale in Bihar, became a well know movie Kamala- starring Marc Zuber as Sarin .

@kallachi729 2 года назад

Disclaimer: With malice to none. The Print is my favorite and the only channel I watch/ read for some of its offerings. As SG himself says, politics is an essential ingredient, as salt in food, in a democracy. But the all pervasive media is a more essential portion of life ( food, entertainment, work, play, religion, caste etc. etc.) in a democracy where free press and free speech is incumbent. The end result is that media and politics feed on each other and the people just take the left overs. Tailpiece: In a democracy, the politicians will use the fissures in society ( which precedes modern politics by many centuries) to create vote banks (religion, caste, creed, language, parochialism etc.. etc..). So do not except them to solve societal problems.By sheer logic, it is not even a probability.The media creates the din.

@aanakrukavi 2 года назад

I totally disagree with Shourieji's analysis of RSS. In many boudhiks, sangh representatives has given great analysis of Sanatana Dharma. Just the morning prayer of sangh list down all the great personality from Krishna to Ambedkar. Vinay Sitapati's book throws a much better light on RSS.
