77 - Jayant Bhandari: The Empire Strikes Back

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with cultural analyst Jayant Bhandari for the second time. Bhandari reinforces his argument that culture is more important than economics or politics, providing as usual an assortment of keen observations from his childhood in India and his constant travels across the globe. In this episode they also speak about the decline of the West, whether China is as Orwellian as the media says, the India biometric Aadhaar system, how to bribe in third world countries, the rise of Indian nationalism, Indian slavery, and a particularly disturbing trip to the most lawless country on earth.
