An excellent 33 minute interview by two intelligent people who break down their discussion to understandable issues, making it easily digestible.
Aakar Patel the author has detached himself from any bias in his views as well he should and Mitali Mukherjee does likewise. It’s people like these two to whom Modi should listen and not to his own overblown authoritarian ego. Here is how Patel, also a Gujarati like Narendra Modi, is best described: “Aakar Patel has courted trouble for a long time. The temporary suspension of his Twitter account was only the latest. Through all his identities as reporter, editor, podcaster, Gujarati, Amnesty International’s India chief, Patel has always been a mischief maker. While his latest tweets, saying that Muslims, Dalits, and Adivasis should stage their own form of Black Lives Matter protest in India, have left many angry and entertained, the Indian State is not amused. What’s going on with Aakar Patel appears to be a frequent question among India’s commentariat. Has he just been reduced to a Modi-Shah baiter today? On closer inspection, Aakar Patel is like any other writer, thinker, journalist, or activist who refuses to turn a blind eye to the State’s excesses, and does not mince his words. Some of his critique, be it of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre or of other governments in states, has been through his writing, or through reports he oversaw while helming human rights watchdog Amnesty International.” Roland Toronto. > On Dec 3, 2021, at 7:02 PM, Frederick Noronha <fredericknoron...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HozHH4sD8Pg > ᐧ
