Ramchandra Guha is changed his expertise from history to psychotherapy
When the country is doing good at least comparatively better than other scam governments , mood is high, economy is going up hill and world has started respecting India and there is a sense of positivity, then here we are jokers like Arfa , Wire , print , karan thapar , news laundry , Abhisbek (that modi basher), Guhas , etc etc start crying and creates this sense of negativity is so hilarious and irritating at the same time to watch. We live in the word of social media , we can do our own research and we don’t need any of these jokers to tell us how bad India is doing. Remember I didn’t take Burkha ‘s name, she is trying to play safe currently Lol Jai Hind

you definitely dont think youthink.... only bigots like you can differentiate between the struggles and sacrifices of everyone involved in freedom struggle, and make it a contribution of one group, one people, and one idea.... Everybody since 1857 made their own contribution and struggled hard to achieve what you got for free, the freedom. and don't tell that you were not taught this in textbooks. Probablt you were a bad student who didnt focus on the studies, as every indian is taught about all the aspects of freedom struggle including INA, HSRA, Chitttagong and Royal Indian Navy Mutiny... just cease to be a bigot for day, sir/mam/it

*Valid questions that remain unanswered about partition of India:* - When Muslims could stay in India, why was partition done? - If partition was done, then why were Muslims allowed in India? - If India is governed by a constitution, then why do we have a Muslim Personal Law Board? - When India is a secular nation, why do we have a minority commission? - If temples are taxed, why not mosques and churches? - India has 80% Hindus, so why is India not HinduRashtra ?
"Where did Ram get his engineering degree", commented M Karunanidhi, He is known Periyar follower to the core. We are talking about the same Periyar who married his own adopted daughter and desecrated Hindu gods.
I am surprised. It’s a very balanced discussion. I applaud both Ram and Barkha.
Modiji's grief and empathy for the victims in Manipur is cheap because he is precisely the one who could have prevented it.

Please have more such interviews❤
Guha thinks he is objective but he too couldn’t get out of various biases which he accuses Modi of. His wholesale condemnation of Congress will have few takers.
Our country is fast lapsing into the danger of a jingoistic flag-waving country. People who are too quick to wave the flag waiver what the flag stands for. Not resting at flag waving the flag poles are also often used by the same people to clobber others.

What this historian states seems to contain truth,,today the 15th August each year ,we celebrate indipendence...however,peace and happiness were denied particularly to women sections.we treated women as inferior,sometime our treatment them is so partial compare to male members,. womens were so so looks down in society,, commodities is far superior than women's eg,, Manipur girls
Guha's books must be translated into Hindi
Dear Barkha Institution of Criminal Justice System shall comprise all the organs which Mr. Guha named. That is exactly what as a student of law I feel Forty Years back my professors taught that poorer countries are having better Criminal Law Justice system than ours's
Though i was initially charmed by Guha's words, then I had my eyes opened by Salvatore Babones. I am sorry but I would lean on the data and not what comes out of any man's mouth. Always interesting to listen to your thoughts Sir.
This is pure example of URBAN BABUs commenting on Whole of India.
How do people count guha amongst intellectuals
Our democratic system has generated political leaders with huge money which came to politics with modest family background. Most of the political parties are run as family businesses.Even many journalists are happy with this situation.
It is not wrong to say that India have ONLY party leaders running the government and NOT national leader. It is not wrong to say that the ruling party live 24x7 on the past. This is the reason EVEN constructive comments made by citizens is seen as FROM opposition parties. The result is...Rulling party 24x7 ONLY manufacturing consent; Rulling party 24x7 think and act as if citizens are irrational, illiterate and bunch of stupid mob. They may not say but their actions vividly suggest that. Challenging days ahead.

I just love to see Ram Guha on any platform be it The Wire or Mojo......his frustration is appalling and the way he has changed his positions on issues is being belief.... Way to go for Indian Liberals
What he has spoken is the truth somewhat.His confident comments however are colored.On what basis does he label CM Yogi a fanatic in a negative way ine can't see. Asserting India's being Hindu (larger context) is looked upon as extremist at a time when terrorism worldwide is a threat. Muslims who have sought an Education are in good positions too. There should be a data that shows that Muslims,Christians,Parsis etc are discriminated in our job market. Or else again it is merely a narrative.

Request to fix the audio quality in patches.
What does the Democracy do when original Natives of valley Kashmiri Pundits are driven out mercilessly on ethnic cleansing & religious grounds. Somehow Barkha never asks these questions.

The man has gone senile not that he was ever an intellectual or a unbiased historian
The way and style that Mr Guha spoke in ,it seemed that he was playing to the galleries. The depth was missing in his statements .It seems he can easily backtrack from a lot of his claims .eg Hailing Nitish ji as a Barack Obama and then withdrawing now lamenting that he did not fulfill his potential .Then why did he compliment him and compare him with such famous people in the first place ? And then also conjuring a montage where he can lead the Congress . Inspite of his foreign education ,his style and manner is reminscent of some of my relatives who have that rustic style where it's all about making grand statements and self centricity . And when they speak ,we others in attendance can just pass wry smiles or shocking glances to each other and let them have their way as interjecting them would upset them .
Repeating a 2017 interview after 5 years is pointless. Most of what Dr Ram Guha said then sounds out of place and irrelevant today.

1:45 Freedom to move across India! It depends, not so much freedom for many muslims. Like muslims can be stopped, checked(like at toll-plaza or check point around mewat even before the recent riots). Not to mentions Kashmiris who have lived this for long when they travel.

There is still a long way to go when it comes to the health of Indian democracy, but most of the problems outlined by Dr Ram Guha do exist in the best of democracies. As one of the leading intellectuals of our time, he should also know that democracy is a work in progress. The digital revolution has changed the face of Indian democracy, and it will only get better as the nation matures. The constant jibes he makes at the central government and certain politicians would probably keep him popular amongst a certain section, but it wouldn't serve his credentials. He mentioned Shah Faesal's utterances during the repealing of Article 370, but what Faesal thinks now and what happened to Kashmir is very different!
Why not India after Modi?? Why you want to support pm modi n bjp by talking about India after Gandhi. You are most hypocrite author. You contradict yourself always. Need of the hour is to remove pm modi from power. You hv not said a single word which goes against pm modi.Are you Mr Ram Chander Guha scared of ED l cbi ??

And observes institutions even line judiciary are not as per the norms of Democracy !
