Political Chit chat

During the heated campaign, I spent a day with four-time MP Asaduddin Owaisi in Hyderabad. Before our chat, he took me on his Triumph bike to see his door-to-door campaigning. We talked about his election challenges, the new BJP candidate, and his hopes for this election. Besides discussing his way of 'chilling' in a Halal manner, we delved into state-religion relationships, BJP’s politics, and Owaisi's contradictions.

Voters in at least four villages in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal district have accused the state police of confiscating identity cards and lathi-charging, thereby not letting people exercise their right to vote. The episode took place during the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections on May 7. Incidentally, all of these villages happen to be Muslim-dominated.I went to Obri, one of the villages where voting was stalled due to alleged violence at the polling station, and spoke to the residents about what unfolded on the polling day.

Delhi Riots, Umar Khalid & Everything in Between Ft. Banojyotsna Lahiri

57m 04s

Political Chit chat

While the world is witnessing one of the biggest Elections exercise, let's spare a thought for those who have been pushed to the margins of justice, conversation & society. They don't think of democracy when it is a trend to do so. Rather, they are the ones who believe in the Constitution of India and are always ready to fight to keep its spirit alive.To push the boundaries of YouTube's political content landscape, I sat down with Dr Banojyotsna Lahiri, PhD Scholar, activist and partner of Dr Umar Khalid who has been in jail for almost 4 years.

On our journey to explore the hidden landscape of Chhattisgarh, we came across 'Abujmarh'. A forest in the southern part of the state which is so inaccessible that the locals were shocked to see us find our way through it.The area is alleged to be one of the few places with heavy Maoist influence & very little presence of the civil administration. There are schools but no education system, there is a Police force but no sense of security, and there are voices of descent but no one to listen to them.

My Experience Inside a Slum in Delhi

Bharat Ek Khoj Ep.13

The neighbourhood of Kirti Nagar slum in the Western part of New Delhi. In the proximity of markets and huge buildings, the people of this area still lack access to basic necessities. In these narrow lanes, the families struggle for water over a single tap to only two public toilets in the locality queued with people. The area is loaded with the problems of sanitation, unemployment and daily tussle for almost everything in everyday life.

On 24 August 2023, around 125 families were uprooted in a demolition drive at Subhash Camp of Badarpur in the Capital city of New Delhi. For years the place that they called home is now broken to bricks which they have to now collect and sell to purchase a meal or two.
