Shut Up Ya Kunal - Episode 24 - Kannan Gopinathan, Activist & former IAS
Комедия
Join us on this inspiring episode of Shut Up Ya Kunal as we sit down with Kannan Gopinathan, the former IAS officer and activist from Kerala who chose to resign from his post in protest against the restrictions imposed in Jammu and Kashmir. Through his powerful advocacy for democracy and fundamental rights, and his role as a leading figure in the Citizenship Amendment Act protests across India, we'll be motivated to ask questions, stand up for what we believe in, and fight for a better tomorrow.

When RSS talks about hindurashtra, What i want to pointout is India can be bhramin rastra but to become Hindu rashtra will RSS accept.. 1.Hindi as national food 2.Chicken biriyani as official food. 3.Pro rata reservation for all BC(54%) hindus 4. Remove caste based satram near all Holi places. If you make Hindutva is all about Pro Rata Reservation(PRR) for (BC) Bhahujan, RSS will stop talking about it. Why make it a debate about Hindutva, Hinduism or hindutav vadi.

Treat others as you want to be treated by them. Violence begets revenge.such steps of disrespecting your own citizens is against any peaceful solution and happiness of the nation.
I remember in my mains examination, I used example of Kannan Sir IAS Dadar and Nagar Haveli in GS4 ethics paper under ‘compassion’, “he toiled in Kerala relief camp for 8 days without revealing identity just to know the condition of facilities provided there”. Absolutely gem of a civil servant ❤

And finally you don't find anything wrong, when you discover very low energy in you and very less companion is left with you to fight it out.

@@BhatMeiraj8800 it's not about you having a problem. Me neither. It's just that he is projecting himself as an activist but actually wants to be a politician. Just like how Sonu Sood was projecting himself to be a messiah for migrants and homeless during COVID where as in reality he was just doing PR for an aspiring politician. They all are trying to create a votebank and hence stay shy of revealing their ultimate motive. He being educated is a good thing but so are politicians like Dr Sambit Patra, Dr Manmohan Singh, P Chidambaram, Dr S Jaishankar and Kapil Sibal. Do they all believe in the constitution of India? YES. But does that mean their policies and decisions were only in the interest of the country and welfare of its citizens? NO. Still better than a politician with a fake degree occupying an office though.
I met Kannan ji in Pune and had a very great discussion. he is really a good person with a valid agenda. he is genuine with his thoughts. also very humble and honest person. Thank u Kunal for this interview
I've always admired Gopinathan since he has shown this courage in solidarity with Kashmiris and oppressed ones. Salute to Gopinathan. History will always remember him. He's not at all a "failure", but a great success.
Although I am not an Indian, this man deserves respect irrespective of international border. My eyes are blessed, and will always be blessed to watch this man speaking for us.
what I really admire about Gopi is fighting hard without any anger or hard feelings; the conviction in his ideals to give a up the most cushy job in country
The only IAS officer doing justice to his amazing intelligence ❤
Kanan is my batch mate from BIT Mesra. He is just phenomenal.
Intelligence, empathy and humility all in ample amount. So much respect for you Gopinathan. Kunal thank you this 💌
Gopinath is fearless, Hats off Man👌
Thanks 🙏 I think one common thing you both have is “courage” to ask questions to establishment.thanks and love you guys🫡👌

As a fellow comic and godi media skeptic, I am pooling in the net earning from my last show. Keep the episodes coming and hustle going. More power to you.
Great conversation !! Kannan's thought process is so sorted and clear. He surely would have done great things while serving in IAS, but he knows better than me. Best wishes to him for whatever he is doing.
OMG what a surprise! Kannan Gopinathan in the house. Amazing.
Wow this is the price you pay for your honesty. Salute to you sir. Thanks for your service.
Much respect for Kannan Gopinath sir. Mark my words there will be IAS awards in his name one day. Textbook example how an officer should be, bowing down to power isn't a trait in that.
Such a beautiful statement, after a great freedom struggle we got an opportunity to ask questions! And this government is taking away that right for us. Shameful!
