Guys, first off I just love your program. It's getting so much better over the years. One small input, it's worthwhile to know about gatishakti because it's about coordination amongst all the miniseries for faster clear ace of projects on infrastructure. One part of it is a spatial layover of information from all ministries. Abhijit and yourself Sri Iyer ji will surely like it.
I am happy Sri iyer is adept in covering a widespread subjects and quite eloquent in having healthy question.and answer.sessions Request you to give prior intimation in advance Thank you mr iyer Namaskaram
I enjoyed the video. I have a question: what makes Abjith an expert in all fields: political, military, intentional history, current and historical etc.etc. I am sure he has a lot of knowledge and experience. I want to know

Abhijit is spot on about Singapore Airlines. I wouldn't agree with him on his criticism of Lufthansa, though, as I have only had great service from them. But then, we're talking personal experiences here. Singapore is crappy and will never change for the better. I am an American citizen and Sh1tapore behaves with me, but my Indian citizen girlfriend is not treated well.
Abhijit we have Vikas Khanna Vineet Bhatia, Sriram Aylur, Srijith Gopinathan who all have earned Michelin stars for indian cuisine. We have Atul Kocchar, Suresh Pillai, Ranveer Brar, Sanjeev Kapoor to name a few, who have michelin star qualities but unfortunately have not been awarded the stars.
Surprised he didn't mention our loss in '62 which was brilliant from the Chinese side and Kargil where Musharraf boasts that he spent two days camping inside Indian territory and we were none the wiser. When it comes to brilliant tactics the Paks are very good. As first-half players go they are excellent, but by the second half, things fall apart.
Gati Shakti is an implementable policy unlike smart City and smart whatever. So it is better. First term of mudi ji was all gimmick and blunders packaged as master strokes But 2nd term is better but publicity is less. Publicity of 2nd term policies should be better. Suddenly in 2nd term bjp somehow forgot publicity. I am impressed.
Abhijit i agree that indian street food vendors do serve delicious golgappas. But if one wants to celebrate an occasion or have a date, i doubt street vendors can do justice. One wants good ambience, good music, food that is aesthetic to the eye and tastes reasonably good. One does not want dust in your eyes, in your food, noisy traffic sounds, and constantly being jostled while standing and eating.
Hindu temple going back to owners? there are no kings alive who built them...not the subjects who donated land to those temples...do you mean give it to the pujari? of the land lords who usurped small land owners who donated their land and leased it back from temple? India had many traditions not just vaidhika tradition...however vaidhika seems to claim everything hindu...which is another scary situation...and again there are these politicians..be it hindu protectors or secularism protectors they are all in same basket when it comes to upper caste control...
The debt that Abhijit says Britain owed to India at the time of independence because of their "industrialisation drive" in places like Bengal (notable among them, foundry industry in Howrah and Hoogly) was largely inflated as the british regime held the equipment and machineries market in India largely as a captive market providing british industries of those products protectionism in their export to India and India did not exist as a sovereign state to encourage competitive bidding from manufacturers of nonbritish origin. Those industries in India were basically sweatshops employing cheap semiskilled labor force, they were owned by the british industrialists and their finance decision, management etc also were controlled from Britain (and profit made by those industries in precindependence years also used to be shipped to Britain) without inculcating any deep technolgical "know how and why to innovate to be future ready" value in their local Indian workforce, only keeping their knowledge transfer limited to skill level required for manufacture quality maintenance aof existing products, which coupled with militant trade unionism, resource cruch due to India's parition ( superior quality jute producing east Pakistan got seprated from jute factories along the Hoogly river) and certain central policies led to downfall of output of those industries in Bengal within two decades of India's independence. So technically the debt was not to India but to british industrialists setting their profitmaking (profit for themselves) sweatshops (no longer profitable in Britain due to higher wages there and because geostrategic considerations) in India, anyway buttressed by humongous flight of capital from India to Britain, rather a droplet from the occean of that exploit. In 1940s, pre independence India had installed electricity capacity of 1.1 GW for 400 million population while Britain had installed electricity capacity of 15 GW for merely 60 million populations- figures do not corroborate with any massive or proportionate industrialisation drive and it was evidently as strategically required and in line with the business interest of british industrialists setting up those sweatshops/factories. And India used to be largest/second largest exporter upto 1928 (that is after 1919 as well) but it is proven how India was deprived of foreign exchange in return and manufacturers exporting from India (including british industries in India) were compensated by diverting Indian taxpayers' money that again as profit by those british industries in India were shipped to Britain. Yes, India was held as a captive market for most sectors- not just Ford cars, India remained prime destination of export of Lancashire textule product all throughout, especially between 1870 and 1895 and railways were another massive sector where India was held as captive market.
Graham Hancock premised his theory on common ideas in astronomy and old maps, similar megalithic buildings in all these civilizations, tons of evidence of a cataclysm in Younger Dryas period Not bollocks
Correct. He has identified himself honestly as a journalist investigating human history( ancient, lost). Abhijit, pls dont reject people. Also, dont give undue credit. In another video, u said chiddu was a good FM. Still waiting for an apology!!
come on guys, Air India has much better food compared to all others across the board. I can say that for veg food at least as I am vegetarian. Rice/paneer/mixveg is the best especially when you fly out of Delhi.
When Shri Iyer says remove personal income tax, tax consumption, i just cringe, it really shows how disconnected he is, US federal government is funded MOSTLY by US personal income tax And he is from US! We should NOT tax consumption is what I think, we should remove indirect taxes and only keep the customs duty. There is a reason for this, our bureaucracy isn't that sophisticated to understand economic activity and that's a fact for every country not just India and indirect taxes interfere with the working of business such as working capital stuff etc more so than direct taxes do. For a human capital deficit country like India, income tax should be the only tax! Cause income and it's deduction and exemption is pretty easy to define. Let's broad base income tax such as tax farmers or charitable trusts etc etc and remove GST
Islam’s superiority in India is proven comprehensively when one of the viewers asked for one example of “Indian” modern architecture that is recognized by the world and this blabbering host couldn’t come up with ONE example. Islam is the only thing that has given india any recognition in the world
