Bharatiya Junta Podcast

In this, the first of a series of Bollywood-themed episodes, we revisit DDLJ and its characters. We also imagine the arc of these characters outside of what was shown in the films. What was Bauji's politics like? Does Raj vote for AAP? Was Chutki a liberal? Tune in for a free-wheeling, mindless conversation.

In this round up of an eventfilled month, we discuss Modiji's new motto, Sudhir Chaudhary's latest wisdom, Arnab's ordeal and a lot more!

In this episode of BJPod, we discuss Modiji's second masterstroke, Justice Bobde, Ramayan and a lot more. Also, Bappida and godi media news to keep you company during the quarantine. 

In this episode, we discuss what it means to have grown up in Kashmir in the 90s . The conversation moves on to the incompatibility between the heavily religious Indian society and its liberal constitution. The guest goes on to describe why he thinks the constitution and the experiment of Indian democracy are far from realizing the vision they set out to achieve. Also, on the pod are the uncanny similarities between village chieftains from B-grade Bollywood and a popular ‘world’ leader of today. All this and more on this episode of BJPod.

On this episode of BJPod, we ramble about the Junta Curfew,  Modiji's versatility, Women's Day celebrations, Sudhir Chaudhary and a lot more. Also, what is common to Nolan fans and Modi fans. All this and more in this mad episode of the BJPod. Disclaimer: The audio tracks used at the start and the end of the podcast are just to highlight the absurdity of the situation. The podcast hosts, in no way, endorse any of it. 

In this pod, we discuss the idea of nation-states, the constitution and whether it did what it set out to do. We also discuss the relationship between the people and the state, and the guest's novel and how it stood the test of time.

This is our short take on all the absurd recent happenings in Indian politics.

This is Mann Jun ki Baat, our short news segment with a twist.

In this episode, we talk about the caste question in the context of Indian Muslims. Shafi joins Raj to discuss his initial idealism and evolving understanding of caste and then they reflect on the otherization of Indian Muslims and within that the isolation of being a Pasmanda Muslim. Listen in to understand how deeply entrenched caste is in the Indian psyche.

In this episode of BJPod, we talk about what the idea of India means to an Indian Muslim. During the course of this deep dive, we look at several aspects of the Indian Muslim identity. Our guest talks about when and what led to this breakdown of the Indian secular fabric? Is it just a case of the undercurrents surfacing post-2014? We also discuss the heartening expression of Muslim identity during the anti-CAA protests. Also, a bit of American politics interspersed. All this and more on this episode of BJPodcast.
