When Anand Ranganathan was born, he was born with tie and suit.

Anand believed it’s heresy to remove pant for minor bodily activities Hence he invented Pant Zipper

One day Anand found out that his suit wasn’t drying quickly hence he started global warming.

[dilipkumarrath]

Tahseem is lying through his teeth.. Tanzania is a Christian majority. 63% Christian, 34% Islam, 1.2% traditional, 1% others.

[satyamgolu]

In Indonesia Hindu minority is actively persecuted. All hindus are concentrated in Bali island. They are not aboriginals of bali. They had to fled other island and had to settle in bali. Hindus in bali includes tribals, buddhists and other local cultures and traditions becauase Indonesia doesnt reconises other religions

[tanvisharma]

2:01 Sushant Sareen ji very accurately explained the actual meaning of batoge to katoge and what the hindus should learn from the on going hindu and other minority persecution in Bangladesh. the other side never showed mercy, so better to unite. no state is going to protect us.

[shumbuk]

That opening..with the speakers storming off into their chauffeured cars, as pretend Canadian diplomats, was so funny to me..and with impeccable English (not that that's unexpected given who was invited... Anand!)...very creative and fun...writing from Toronto, Canada.

[jitendivgi]

Tehseem: Tanzania is not an Islamic country. It is a Christian country with a 63% Christian population.

[koushikmenchu]

Tehsen repeatedly giving example of Tanzania for a muslim majority country, in reality it has 60 percent of christian population .

[pinakastra]

Ranga sir storming by saying "Delhi se hu BC" was epic 😂😂.

[dilipkumarrath]

I agree with Tahsheen's discomfort with consolidation, but you cannot run away from facts.. there is already consolidation on one side and we already see the result of non-consolidation on the other side where we are losing land in the country and also the liberty of people is gone.. I don't doubt Tahseen personally, but this line is a line used by Congress and mullahs to keep Hindus sleeping from the creeping danger to their existence.. No govt. or leader is going to or will be able to help with it until the Hindus realize "Batenge to Katenge".

[dimplekhanna]

Your guests represent the new, nationalistic mind set of intelligent young Indians. May their tribe increase.

[svdelhi]

Assam and Andhra Pradesh issues of demography change cannot be compared. While in Andhra, potentially people from UP and Bihar would migrate but in Assam we have the j!hadis coming in flocks from Bangladesh, which is a foreign country.

[DSaiyanUnleashed]

Ranga sir: "this is exactly how tehseen feels when he boards the plane, have I sorted out my affairs" xDDD that cracked me up

[ksubina]

Only a Delhiite can fully understand and actually enjoy this style of conversation… sab ek saat bolo, ek doosre ki Baat kat kar apni baat beech mein bolo, aur sab ek saath bolo… and still hear and understand every word that is being said… so enjoying the fun of this!

[vikrantwagholikar]

Madam you can do Hindi interview of Marathi Reporter Mr Bhau Torsekar. His marathi channel name is Pratipaksha and Hindi channel name is Prativad.. His political understanding is awesome

[prateepbhaduri]

Namaste Madam, Though I may occasionally see things a bit differently, as both an Indian and a Bengali, I must say that I completely enjoyed this podcast—often with a warm cup of tea by my side. Listening felt like being surrounded by familiar voices, as if the people in this discussion could easily be friends or family. There were moments I laughed, moments I thought deeply, and overall, it just felt good—like a conversation I’d want to be a part of, even if that's a distant dream. Thank you so much for creating this experience. It's truly a gift to have such spaces for genuine, thoughtful, and lighthearted exchanges. Warm regards and heartfelt thanks.

[mayankbahuguna]

Already here .. happy deepawali to ani family and all of you!!

[essm]

Thanks for covering the Most important topic that Indians have no clue about - Cyber Security, data Sovereignty (keep Indians' data within India) & I.T. self-reliance. India needs its own e-mail system, Payment processing (not Visa, MasterCard), own Mobile & computer Operating system (like Abhijit said a version of Android/ Linux- these are open-source systems that India can create its own versions from), search engine (not Google), social media (instead of Twitter, YouTube) & messaging systems (WhatsApp), eCommerce etc. Even if they're not popular to begin with, for National Security, these are a must to fall back on, incase of War/ emergencies

[Endangereds]

Missing J.Sai Deepak. I am from Andhra and I confirm, Our painters and carpenters are from UP and Bihar already. Even in towns, not talking about cities. A quality worker is welcome in any part of India. But worst quality worker from anywhere is not welcome, not even from U$A. We have them already here, enough of them.

[revenantwolzart]

Mrs. Smita is a total tomboy for hanging out with these unabashed jovial bafoon of men! 🤣
But serioulsy this stuff is brilliant, the comedic knowledge banter of our new era!

[krishnanramakrishnan]

The usual cabal in action... keep rocking people
Happy Deepawali
