In this week’s #NLHafta, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kripal, Mehraj D Lone, Manisha Pande and Anand Vardhan are joined by Suhasini Haider, diplomatic editor of the Hindu.
The conversation kicks off with discussing how Iran dropped India from the #ChabaharZahedan rail project. The discussion moves on to “cancel culture” and the ongoing #Rajasthan political crisis.
The panel also compares Jyotiraditya Scindia and #SachinPilot, discusses the curious case of apologies by Indian comedians, and debates whether ideology really matters in Indian politics.
