The beauty of Javed Akhtar Sahab is he's an ATHEIST. He's a non-religious practitioner. Critics aside, Javed Sahab is progressive academic, he brings so much serious audacity with his observations It'll be interesting to see if THE WIRE furthers this discussion with Religious people from different faiths after this

Agenda wala Atheist. Didn't say a word when: 1. Palestine was recognised but not israel. India is a secular country and not Islamic country where muslims will decide whom to choose. 2. Shah Bano case 3. When asi found first evidence in 90's that there was indeed evidence of idols at Ram janambhoomi, he knew about it but leftists/liberals wanted to play politics kept muslims in dark. U can refer kk Mohammad speech. Romila thapad is a biased historian. An rti revels she doesn't even know Sanskrit 😂and has no knowledge about archeology. 5. He knows very well that congress uses maulvis for votes. Yet keeps mum. Basically congress has to prove that Muslims r oppressed in order to get muslim votes. It's better muslims should vote for owaisi. Atleast he cares about muslims and isn't a dogla like congress. Big talks about reformation of muslim community by nasaruddin shah, Javed akhtar types with no roadmap.

Javed akhtar is nothing but a congress puppet. He never stopped congress when Shah Bano case was overturned. Why was Palestine recognised by congress party? Just coz muslims live in india and they would feel bad. He might not tell u openly but he is a congress loyalist. If he has so much guts he should fight elections from congress party as pm. Let congress party declare him as pm candidate.

Excellent interview of one of the great Indians..👏👏Can't be better..

Jawed akhtar is like an antidote to fake intellectuals who can't rise above their political biases and see things objectively. Always a treat to hear him 🙏

One of the brightest mind on this earth, creative, intelligent and fearless - all gifts in 1 human. Very inspirational and I always take away something or even more from his talks! Javed Sir -keep talking and inspiring 🙂

"The reality is the act, the intention is notional/guessing". That's the wisest thing I've heard Javed Akhtar say

I am a tribal from the north east, but more or less have always agreed to this same type of idea.

It is always a learning when I listen to Mr. Javed Akhtar...

I can listen to Mr. Javed Akhtar all day. Thanks for the interview.

I love Javed Akhtar! A bold and outspoken and rationalist. I liked the way he shut up the host in this interview and also Sadhguru in another interview

That's the best discussion I have seen on the UCC. Helped in building constructive views regarding UCC. Javed Sahab's views on ultimate gender equality is remarkable.. Learned a lot. Thanks Karan for such highly informative discussion.

What a sane voice! Not once but every single time. It was so wonderful to see him live in London few months back with same sense of humour, sharpness and intellect. It was my dream come true to listen him live.

After a real long time you have a great episode Karan Thapar, thank you for reminding us all again that Javed Akhtar is a living treasure

True pleasure to listen to such civilised discussion.

I listened to the whole discussion without skipping a second, Please bring more people like him to your show

Javed akhtar is Javed akhtar no one like him when it comes to intellectual talks.. He is well educated & fearless and that he is fearless his education comes to the fore. May his tribe increase. Thank you Karan Thapar 🎉❤

Huge Respect for Javed sir … in the list of Kalam sir, k.k muhammad sir, one more name added today.

Very clear thinking, well-read and articulate. Javed Akhtar has ability to speak sentences and finish speaking in a Karan Thapar interview, a small miracle in itself. He can also get the interviewer to understand his statement and restate it in a concise manner as opposed to being lured to deliver soundbites.

Karan Thapar is not that serious as Javed. Mr Javed is genuinely serious about the UCC. THAPAR is in business of survival out of Hindu-Muslim garam masala. He is harvesting Hindu-Muslim crop. Great to see u Thapar in this business.

As it appears the uniform civil code is very complex , it still needs to be discussed/ debated very thoroughly.

Sir I respectfully disagree....Mr. Thapar should try to be more neutral. In most of his content he seems to attempt to elicit a particular kind of response and it's only left to the neutrality of guests views ( as in this case) to bring neutrality to the discussion. From all his previous content it is quite evident from the way he reinforces his guest's statements which are even slightly in line with his agenda and discards anything which is not in line with his own agenda...that's NOT good journalism

Very good & Interesting discussion with Javrdjee👍 as both of you said, without a proper draft & general awareness about the subject it is only creating chaos. PM Modi & his party are interested in exactly that, the more chaos & confusion the more division in the society! He has blood on his hands, his credibility is shrouded. Instead of focusing on other burning issues he is trying to hide his failures, non governance & mis- management of our country's economy with diversionary tactics as usual! 🤔🤔

The interview is great , looking forward to more interviews like this , I think there shouldn't be any support price limit as a student a wants to support by very small contribution as i can but i couldn't because of the limitations there ..

I really enjoy Javed Akhtar's interviews. He's a free thinker and isn't afraid to speak his mind. It's rare to find people his age who बेबाक. What I love most is his liberal attitude. He doesn't let religion dictate his words; he just says what he thinks. I don't know much about his past or his political inclination in the 70s but but in the last 10-15 years, he's become someone I always want to listen to. Most of the time, I find myself agreeing with him. I also used to support Vinod Dua, whom I still love, he is in the same league as him. Sadly, we lost him to Covid. I hope Javed Akhtar stays with us for many more years, maybe even another 20-30. Bless him !!

Loved it . Javed Akhtar sir, you hv been so clear . and respect you as an individual who has been so sensible irrespective of belonging to a religion which does not support gender equality. And to Karan Thapar however much you tried to put word in his mouth the way you would have liked to hear , you could not get it and that did surprise you.

This Man deserves to be in law ministry. He is spectacular. I didn’t say law minister but that’s what he deserves.

A very wholesome interview. Karan Thapar is the most annoying interviewer, but it’s absolutely satisfying to see someone take him head on.

One of the very rare Jewels of India ..Javed akhtar ji....we shall learn how think and speak unbiased...and be true to the reasoning....

The interviewers and interviewees of the mainstream media today can never think of reaching the foot(lowest part of the mountain) of this Intellectually immersive interview.

Truly a mind opening and rich discussion...

Javed Akhtar is very right when he said that for UCC , there must be one draft. Law commission invited public opinions on UCC but there is no draft. Without draft public from various sections may be opined on UCC but they may be confused and they may have no clear idea of UCC. UCC is very complex matter and to implement is even more difficult. It seems that this issue is raised just to polarize votes of majority community and not to prepare Act of UCC. Not prepared draft for public opinion is also reason that if there is a draft of UCC , all sections of society including Hindus, Muslims , Christians, Parsis, Shikhs , Scheduled Tribes etc oppose UCC certainly.

Javid sir as usual, perfect; full of knowledge

What Javed says is true many of us are living in uniform civil code and it's not one community but people across communities. The curs as Javed says is to have a draft and it should come from law ministry and not some state govt which is meaningless

When you have a big problem, the best way to solve it is by breaking it into smaller problems and solving each one in isolation. So we should start with say adoption and then inheritance. Marriage and divorce are unnecessary in my opinion. Because, modern couples prefer live in relationships.

We salute You Karan sir and Javed sir 🤝👍

nice content, can we have a detailed discussion on how and what can the draft be like, and how can different communities be integrated into it.

Uniform , Equal should not be only for name sake. Let there be total equality. No Reservations, No subsidies, No exorbitant taxes on products, imports to protect some domestic incompetent manufacturers. Why should one be deprived of the pleasure of owning good things... Economic parity is more important that just civil things

Javed Akhtar is the voice of a sound Thinking and Rational mind.. Such clarity of thought in his statements.. This I believe is the natural tendency of the majority of Indians though many do not voice it as articulately !! Let’s have the draft first and debate it!

You are an ocean of knowledge, experience, empathy, and creativity sir Javed!

On the face of it, the arguments are logical but when the same is propagated by a Govt, which has not shown any sensitivity, intellectual transparency or acumen in handling complicated issues so far and are interested only on big bang introduction without much of tangible results, like in case of demonitization, GST implementation or Covid, management, their resolve in bringing UCC seems suspect
