Admiring the boldness, Professor!

This is a good interview. It has touched upon almost all areas afflicting the country. At present, there is a near threat to India's democracy. The dictatorial style of functioning of the government by misusing the investigating agencies, massive corruption vis a vis cronyism, undermining judiciary etc are only a few examples. The economy hasn't performed well, resulting in massive unemployment and poverty. Winning elections somehow has become the major agenda of this government. But, majority of the people are not bothered about all this. Religious polarisation is the main handiwork of the government to remain in power. But, the opposition has failed to stand up to the ruling regime. That is very unfortunate. India's image as a liberal democracy stands shattered. It is all despair.

This was an amazing interview! Prof Khaitan - you have been fact based, calibrated and example based. It would be very hard for anyone to shoot your argument down. RESPECT.

Strongly agreed with all the observations made by Professor Khaitan except that Congress was responsible for Modi's rise and only regional parties are fighting Modi. Regional parties fight for their existence and don't want to lose their control. In fact, regional parties weakened the Congress in the fight against BJP by directly or indirectly supporting BJP. Congress is the only party fighting for the people much more than for themselves. Congress needs people's support and is the only party that can lead India to progress in a democratic and peaceful manner.

It has taken ten years for Congress to wake up and realise they are fighting an existential battle for survival. In 2019, the same Congress party's counter to the BJP juggernaut was an utterly juvenile slogan "chowkidar chor hai" which needless to say failed to make a dent on the Teflon-coated Hindu Samrat. If Congress had been serious back then, they would have stopped bickering among themselves and instead put together their minds to come up with a counter strategy. Whether one agrees or not with RSS political philosophy, one has to give them credit for deep and long term strategic thinking - over the last few decades they have built what seems an impregnable & unassailable political fortress. This year, in my state of Karnataka, Congress proved they can fight BJP and its dog-whistle politics if they get down to the basics but the big question is, has Congress learnt its lessons or are they still going about like an ostrich with its head in the sands?

@@anupsharma9442 To me Congress has been more a political movement that mobilised Indians than a political party as such. True, it carried everyone (barring a few) under the banner of freedom movement but it lacked a singular political ideology to hold it together; 'swarajya' as the rallying cry was good enough to suffice. Both to the right and left however we have had parties like RSS-Jan Sangh-BJP and the Communists who had a more sharply defined ideology and therefore a more committed cadre. Fortuitously, Congress had some stalwart leaders who were able to impart a forward-looking direction to the nascent nation after independence. In the ensuing ideological vacuum, in the late 60s and 70s, the party sadly became a reflection of one family, and after Nehru that family hadn't been blessed with a far looking visionary or even an ideologue. The party had been plodding along on its own momentum but lacked the spirit to drive it forward; it became a fractious coalition of various vested groups. Gandhi family was the glue that held the party together rather than leading it. Congress, no doubt, has a critical role to play but it needs to reenergize itself first with a clear-cut purpose. It did show a glimmer of hope in the recent elections in my state, Karnataka, by coalescing the disenfranchised people cutting across communal sectarianism. It did catch the aspiration of a rising middle-class between 2004 and 2009 but then its inner contradiction came to the fore and got swamped by a well-designed campaign by the BJP in 2014. It has no answer to a demagogue.

Democracy is more than just about the right to vote, which is how most Indians view it. It is about an attitude, an act of the spirit, a mindset, and a recognition of the state of being equal in status, opportunity, and rights. In that sense, India has NEVER been a democracy in its most essential sense - it's been a feudal state that masquerades as a democracy. The "raja and praja" attitude of pre-independence Indians has now become the "mai baap sarkar" attitude of Indians. In both cases, there is a recognition of a superior entity "ruling over" the inferior entity (which is why you always hear the phrase "the RULING party" in India). In a true democracy nobody "rules" over anybody - they administer and govern, and most importantly they SERVE. Try telling an Indian bureaucrat, official or politician that they are "public SERVANTS" and their angry/arrogant reaction will tell you how they view democracy. Anyways, even by these low and weak standards of government in India, where all governments have failed miserably in respecting and serving the citizenry, the BJPee has failed more miserably and spectacularly because they don't even "pretend" to be democratic like other governments. They are brazen about their autocracy and arrogance, and India may never recover from this wounding. As far as the Congress party is concerned, one can't expect it to succeed in opposing the tyranny of this government or gving India true democracy because in its own workings and functioning it is not democratic and revolves around one person, and its members accept this absurd reality, which is yet another display of the servile mentality that afflicts most Indians. Around the world we see and have seen examples of governments being toppled through sheer people power and protest, whereas in India we see a propensity among Indians to remain indifferent and not extend themselves. This is absolutely possible in a country or society where large numbers of people are illiterate, semi-literate, badly educated, ignorant, and shackled by centuries of religious dogma, superstition and a self-serving ethos. That other tyrant-posing-as-a-democrat Donald Trump used to loudly say "I love the poorly educated". That's exactly what the BJPee knows and thinks and exploits, even if they don't say it.

Indians have not evolved for democracy. Still, more than fourty percent of the Gau patta is illiterate, which means they have zero political awareness. However, we progressed quite a bit in 65 years up to 2014 even though the Gau patta lags behind the south. With this government in power, there is so much crookedness exploiting the loopholes inside the constitution. For example, because of their IT cell and massive dissemination of misinformation, the other parties are forced to do the same in their capacity. These are all non-entity in mature democracies. This will put a thwart on the progress of India and I don't see India catching up with China in another hundred years, let alone the West. However, the more important thing is replacing the constitution with a Brahminical one scripted from Nagpur.

Very good analysis

Very good questions and very sharp answers.

Very thoughtful and provoking bold interview

Karan ji ,pl continue your heroic work, despite the pressures of the current times in india.

Sometimes we wonder whether we are enjoying all our rights.After 10 years of BJP rule we have to question ourselves whether we are ruled or overruled. The society has become a tool in the hands of few politicians. It is getting divided ,redivided to suit the political parties. Dictatorship in the guise of democracy is engulfing the society.

Farm bills was initiated by Canada to let farmers of India turn against Mr.Modi.Corona fisiaco as you said blaming mainly to Mr.Modi Government but in fact it is Global problems facing by all countries of the world. With regard to Kuki and Meitei problems in Manipur it seems, it is self created by outsiders in collaboration with main opposition parties in India to let Modi Government down.. .

It's been a wonderful journey of growth, development, progress and peace since Modi came in 2019 for second term. It's just that the Chanchas, Commission agents and paid Media aren't getting the son-in-law type appeasement and preferential treatment they were so used to since independence of India, Karan Thappar included.

Very articulately expressed and summed up by Mr Tarunabh Khaitan. That comes out from a very detailed research. A good interview to watch for any one who believes in constitution and democracy of India drawn by the ones who faught for Freedom of India .

It's very informative and responsibily put forward. Thanks to both of you.

Consider one point: Hundreds of millions of Indians did not benefit from the so called democracy that was there in India. So maybe they want a different type of system. This may be theirbway to get that system.

We always have a choice. The Congress may have been not as good in the past but they are no way like the bjp. The bjp has done worse in just 10 years. So yes, the Congress is a Much better choice.

Blame the Congress as usual. If the voter votes overwhelmingly for the retrograde bjp, what can one do. But better late than never- the Congress has taken the lead.

One of the best interview Mr. Thapar, kudos to you always. Mr. Khairan was extremely insightful and precise. Our democracy is truly in danger not only because we have RSS ruling the nation but also because our masses are in deep slumber.

Thank you to Prof Khaitan and Karan Thapar ji

It is true that Modi’s cunning has won him handsomely. If this smart guy had even some pro-India intentions, India would indeed be a super power by now. But evil just can’t pay for long. Though the logic of this can’t be explained, but it is true. He will be brought down by nine other than his own shadow.

In spite of all that has happened during the last 10 years, I don't think common people attach too much of importance to the concept of India becoming a Hindu Rastra. I do not think that the theocratic states - currently prevailing worldwide - are doing better notwithstanding the example of Israel. We need to do an objective and scientific survey of the peoples' mind to come to know what they are actually thinking - are they economically well-off? do they enjoy more freedom now? are there more opportunities now than ever for improving the living standard? what are the new prospects opening up in front of common people? In-depth data collection across the length and breadth of India and analyses of the data would quite possibly throw the Hundutva agenda and the rhetoric of the ruling party out of the window. India is a confluence of many ideas, many communities, many different cultures. This diversity is the soul of India. This is the very essence of India. And India will prevail. But the opposition - especially Congress (as rightly pointed out by Prof. Khaitan) - needs to try for preserving the pluralism of India very very hard.
