The Income Tax Act itself developed by our Babus... is so complicated that even computer fails...

[sanjivgupta]

I am a BJP and RSSwala but as far as Infosys is concerned, it does not need Panchjanya's certificate. We are with Infosys.

[HistoryOfBharat]

Two ethical business Tata and Infosys are Anti-national 😂😂😂

Only Adani and Ambani will be able to do business in India and noone else.

[ahamasmiarinm]

If Swarajya is pro-BJP then Print is pro-Congi if spoken in same parlance. This is the type of shallow comment that deflect off genuine viewers who want un-opinionated news.

[IndicTamilPluralist]

Jyoti Malhotra's prejudice on Swarajya Magazine is so obvious just at the start of the video itself...

[balrajparmar]

I think the way the host introduced Mr. R. Jagannathan is highly condemnable, It would have been okay if she said that Swarajya is a magazine with ideology of the right. Would she also introduce someone from NDTV or other left leaning ports as being pro congress? This shows poor professionalism in her part. I hope The Print team takes note of this and has better/less ideology driven/more professional moderators in future discussions

You find Kolkata very different because most of the educated Kolkatans are in Bangalore or south or overseas.

[shirshen]

Jyoti Malhotra needs to do .ore research when they introduce guests. Swarajya is not a pro RSS/BJP etc. Her biases can't be hidden, not good. BTW, I am a subscriber of ThePrint and also SwarajyaMag.

[devilerish]

Funny mention of kerjiwal attacking ambani, anchor jumped to ask question cutting person..wow print wow

[correctthenarrative]

Nice episode, insightful analysis by both guests. M. Pai's views on Bengaluru are spot-on, India's most laid-back and cosmopolitan city. A tribute to the accommodative, inclusive Kannadigas, comfortable with their own culture and welcoming of others

[lvjayashree]

Hope Mr Pai shows the same outrage when individuals/good institutions... are accused of anti national, Tukde-Tukde group....

[worldisone]

If RSS has disowned the statement, discussion is over, it should not be even a headline and it is not coming from bjp, neither it is coming from direct rss leadership, it is coming from extended party with zero knowledge.

People who've worked in the software services industry would know well that software quality issues may also occur due to issues at the client side. And those IT Veterans who've delivered Indian Government projects know that issues are always on the client side.

[agonnoga]

Tatas and Infosys are at the opposite side of Adani Ambani camp.
Hence, this spark between these two camps was bound to happen at some point.

[susanta]

Jyoti Malhotra and party raking up a non issue. RSS phobia dominant in her whole discourse.

[uttammishra]

SG don't want print to be labeled as pro or anti govt organization. But his anchors introduce other news outlets as favourable or against govt in power.

[koteshwardobhal]

Civility was the hallmark of this debate. It jetted out content of rationality too. Keep it up by selecting people of wisdom for such discussion.

[Raghugovind]

I don't know why R Jagannathan got offended . If one reads the Swarajya it clearly comes across as mouthpiece of BJP . About time they reformed and become torch bearers of Free Market economics .

[bangbong]

The objective of bringing these 2 was defeated 🙂. Jyothi most likely expected to badmouth the govt but he kind of deflected it and blamed nehru, gandhis and the lutyen gang
