Gang discusses Adani debacle. And try to make sense of Pathan. Aditya talks about his India exp and why he can now vote for BJP also his missed connection with Modi Ji. We also talk of the Shetty and YRF universe and how that is our Marvel and DC. And ask big questions like, isn't BJP central committee meeting the real Indian avengers? Also for fans of Aditya- HE BACK  

We deep dive into how our cinema has always reflected our leading political thought of the time, how Dileep Kumar, Dev Anand and Raj Kapoor were fundamentally different type of heroes than the modern Indian hero. We then analyze the masculine anxieties of the Indian society diving into how the theory of martial races might have impacted it and then finally talk about the men who should have been our ideals of positive masculinity compared to who in reality are.

Gang was visited bu Punit Pania, for those who have already listened to the episode on youtube start at min 47 every one else, they talk about cricket, ram rajya, the uncle pandemic and why are we all addicted to our phones.

In this episode, we are joined by science fiction writer @vimoh in a free-wheeling conversation where he talks about his journey from being a BJP supporter in the past to a vocal critic of the government today. In this enriching conversation, he also talks about how the liberal strands in mythology could be used to fight this regressive wave.

Warning- a lot of random audio

In true Modiji style, we mark the new year with the best of Bhajapod from the year gone by. Self promotion is the best promotion.

In this episode of the Bharatiya Junta Podcast, like always, we rant about our favorite politicians. We take a look at the recent Mah-Haryana elections and whether we were surprised by it.  We move on to discuss how the curb on fire-crackers is "leftist" propaganda. Also, why are the leftists against development? Is anti-Modi = anti-development, as world-renowned economist Goyal Sahab puts it. Also, we briefly touch upon seeds of authoritarianism that were sown during our schooling. In the final segment, we move on to a "brighter" topic, with the D/N test being scheduled in India. We briefly discuss the myth of dwindling interest in test cricket in India.

In this episode, we return after a longish break, with a new section called the tweet of the month (this week's segment is dedicated to https://theprint.in/india/who-will-you-oppress-how-twitter-reacted-to-island-for-all-the-worlds-brahmins/717823/). Also, our tribute to Nandu's idea of a khel utsav, and how it shaped India's Olympic athletes. Also, Kejriwal and his 'strategic' silence over the genocidal slogans at Jantar Mantar. Along the way, we take several tangents, explore an all new saffron soundtrack.

Gang discusses the whole Ram mandir thing then a tiny bit of Maldives. Questions like is the Uttarakhand UCC an uncle civil code, who gets Bharat Ratna, and the never ending sanghi movie universe.

This week, we talk about the Adipurush teaser, INC elections, the clash of the two Senas, Modiji making way for an ambulance and the reactions around the Nobel Peace prize.

Unfortunately Aditya and Nishant were busy today so Raj just recorded himself talking to the mirror going over weekly news

In this episode of the BJPod, we talk about how everything but our aptitude/interests shaped our career choices. Further, the hosts discussed why they think the STEM graduates in India often lack in critical thinking in comparison to their counterparts in the west. Further, we talk of how the schooling system in India does not encourage questions and out of the box thinking, potentially creating a fertile ground for authoritarianism. Also, we touch upon different ways in which we are fed propaganda during our school days. In the final segment, we discuss the changes we'd like to see in our education system to tackle these challenges.

The hosts apologize if this episode sounds too self-indulgent, or like a therapy session.

Gang is missing Nishant, it is just Aditya and Raj and obviously the holy ghost of Guruji. They start by trying to dissect how to procure a chappal in Banaras and what will the Mumbai Jains will be for the next comic con. Then the discussion moves to why is power context important in deciding where your empathy should fall and then they look at some RW influencers who on paper seem smart enough to know better but do not (Ranga Uncle) and try to dissect why they are the way they are.

In this special episodes of BhaJaPod, It is the much demanded ladies crew again, and the women have Shweta on to talk about why Kyunki Saans Bhi Kabhi bahu emerged and catapulted Smriti Irani into our lives.

They also talk about what came before in the 90’s, the aftermath with Balika Vadhu and Gopi Bahu, as well as Anupama today and the impact of all of these serials on society.

There’s a deep dive into Nagins which is the explainer you didn’t know you needed!

We review Nanduji's UP trip and AOK's desperate attempt to find a silver lining.

We get the indomitably courageous Alishan Jafri on the podcast to talk of how did our election results day go. We discuss his experiences on the ground and how the underlying current of Hindu supremacist bubbles up the surface via youtube, facebook, whatsapp and other engagement methods. 

In this week's episode, we give our non-expert take on the assembly election results, primarily focusing on WB. Also, who will you vote for, if the two candidates are Nandu and Ajay Beast?

The Gang gets on the cringe wagon and talks of why did the opposition not think of fighting acronym man with acronyms before. Also showcasing how it has rattled the Bhaktverse. Nishant's innocent feelings on Bawaal do not stand the test of time as we release the episode. And we try to figure out why was Madhavan in Paris with Modi Ji.

This time we dig into the root of the inequalities that persists in our society and how much of it can be blamed on the mixed economy model adopted by early India. We start in 1793 and end in 2024.

We talk about the fastest 1 billion jabs, the FabIndia boycott, the continuing Aryan Khan case. We also go on a tangent and discuss Hedgewar, Golwalkar and how they inspired RSS supremos of the future.

There is a point in this episode where the gang talks about the finale of this Hindutva movie universe. Where Mithun Da from TKF is driving a train into Gujarat and the train gets on fire at that point Nishant starts to sing- 'train me lag gai aag ki dil mera...' And that is how we get cancelled.

We review the trailer of the film as well as some coronation scenes and bits of Rajdeep- Bilawal interview. We also talk Karnataka obviously and Manipur.

In this special episode, the hosts of our sister pod, the desi academia pod and the PCCI pod join us namely- Megh, Vatsal, Richa, and MV; they talk about their professional experiences in education and workplaces.

Hello You, do you have a moment for us to talk about our lord and savior because the second part of our year in review episode is here. The gang looks back at the beginning of Amritkal, the Gujarat elections and all the antics of our Cutie Ji and all his sidekicks. 

Gang discusses what is new in the election scene, the inheritance tax and wealth redistribution chatter, what the right wing media is talking about and also review a few election adds.

Why are gods waiting to have their pics on currency notes before blessing Indian economy? And why is Kejriwal?  

Gang is together and perhaps this will be the episode that will mean that most of the pod listener abandon the pod. The gang talk American elections from the lens of the Indian liberal twitter reaction to the elections and then of course some other newsein from India.

In his absence we had a gathering with our discord community and talked about adventures of Ganga cruise, Joshimath, THAT DOCUMENTARY and Ambanis. Also, Raj went on a rant for 15 mins at the start of this episode on Pathan and patriotism, sorry for that [skip to 14:16 to avoid Raj ka solo rant]. 

Special thanks to everyone who joined in, you know who you are.

In this episode, we react to Jaby reacting to Ranveer Allhabadia's deep dive into the Hinduverse. Tune in to know answers to questions like: Is one lakh the same as 2000? Have you heard of Hindu astrophysics? Are Brahma's 100000 heads the same as infinite parallel universes?

Just an epic rap battle between the first one and the current one

Gang gets together to discuss how certain grifters use the term Hindu Atheist to describe themselves when in reality they are just people looking to pile hate on minorities and how there is a whole nexus of them which is also being legitimized now. They talk of their own experiences and understanding of religion too and then finally an election roundup.

We discuss the idea of a deshbhakti curriculum and the kattar deshbhakts that it would produce. Also, a detailed analysis of what Nanduji's post PM days might look like, and the Aryan Khan episode.

The gang gets to the job of reviewing that interview on that podcast. After which it is one rant after another rant along with intermittent display of gareebi.

An inside peek into how the sausage is made. We started with doing a reaction on Gadar 2 and then at some point moved to doing the reaction to a pakistani reaction to the trailer track of BR Chopra Mahabharat.

In this episode of the BhaJuPod, we have a special guest, special because he shares his first name with our most devoted listener. In yet another episode of the 'Discovering our politics' series, our guest talks about going from an apolitical, privileged kid who advocated for Pappaji, to someone who regretted it months later. Today, he is one of the most vocal liberal voices on social media. In a fascinating take on soft bigotry, and how it is inherent to even the most 'liberal' household in India, we do a deepdive on how latent hate can shape electoral politics. Also, how Pappaji's solar cell manhole covers won him an election. Listen to this pod for a rich, nuanced take on why the politics of the average, privileged Indian is easy pickings for majoritarian movements.

In this episode, we present to you, our reimagination of a biopic that captures the majesty of our superhero, God emperor Nanduji who's life is a parable for all of us, with love, anger, conviction and sacrifice for Bharat Mata. In this, the first part of the story, we capture the rise of the young prodigal son who'd later go on to become the savior of the masses. How did Nandu, India's Forrest Gump, shape the pivotal moments in our history such as the constitution and the 1971 war. 

Also featuring, Pandit Jalaluddin Nehru, Kangana, the good Muslim (APJ Kalam) and Chai, lots of Chai.

Any resemblance to characters, alive or dead, are purely coincidental. No animals or human beings were harmed during this discussion.

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 episode of 'Newsein Aur Thoughtein', we discuss Mohan Bhagwat's idea of a progressive India. We then move on to discussing why Indian cities never look clean even in comparison to cities with fewer resources elsewhere. Also, we discuss the ever-expanding idea of Akhand Bharat. 

In this episode, we are joined by @vizagvala to discuss political ideologies, growing up in a communist family and political activism in general. We further discuss how political change is different to activism in politics, and how the art of making compromises becomes critical in order to make  incremental progress towards a better place. 

Gang gets together before the year ends and takes a long look at one of the cultural foundation of our society the Hindi film industry with amazing Abbas Momin. They discuss the changing nature of the Indian hero through the decades, the changing conflict in Hindi cinema, the impact of southern films, DDLJ, DCH, K2H2, KHNH etc etc and the 90's and early 2000's nostalgia. Muslim in Bollywood, Amar-Akbar-Anthony. Finally what is next for Hindi cinema.

Gang gets together to discuss among other things Modi Ji's body language, and certain conditions that need to be met for them to retire the podcast, forever, also a chat around Modi Ji kitne niche aadmi hai.

Emergency episode on the latest elections and our review of our day out with the godi gang of Rubiqa (rooh-biqa), Rahul Kamal and that er-Knob. We also end up discussing the SC judgment on Maharashtra and somehow the Ram Setu movie coz Aditya did the heavy lifting of watching it for us.

Gang wanted to understand the film Bawaal so Aditya decided to do the arduous task of watching it and then explaining to us what the film is all about. But somewhere in the middle he ended up watching Pardes too and well let us just say that film has not aged well.

We will be back with Newsein and Thoughtein soon.

This week, we discuss the future National Award-winning film, the recent election results as well as the argument that the opposition is ineffective. 

BJpod Abhi Zinda Hai!

In the second part of our conversation with Meghnad, we discuss podcasting, Trads vs Raita, and Muslim netas in the BJP.

Gang goes over the various exit polls and their interpretation of what it all means.

Gang got together but realized Nishant was missing so we had the very funny and very on-point with his critique of all and sundry Anurag Minus Verma @confusedvichar. We talked about the right wing influencer pandemic, how being apolitical is also political, what type of dictator does the country want and also how we examine our own prejudices, biases and how sometimes we censor ourselves as well.

Nishant (@nishant0511) and Raj are joined by Punit (@Punit_Pania) and Vinamra (@Duneemperorpaul) as they talk about the Kumbh Mela, what it means to be developed, the rising radicalization in youth, Patal Lok and the Kannada movie Super.

In this week's Newsein, we talk of the Jalianwala Baug reimagined, twitter influencas not having heard of the Cholan empire, and Techbro economics. Also, Prayagrajiya's interview with Malhotraji reviewed.

All this and more on this week's BJPod. 

Gang talks about the film that everyone else is talking about, and what cinema means and what it says about the society. Also, Kya Meodi Ji Animal hai? We also talk of the soulless aspirations of Archies. Then we land our plane into the Tejas flight that the real alpha Tomendra Cruisodi bhai. Favorite tweet of the month features. Finally, gangs looks into the animals inside them and it becomes a random therapy session.

PS- There are some audio quality issues for a few seconds in the middle

In this episode of BhaJaPod, we have an upgrade in the form of a guest who offers more than Tejinder Bagga references. The episode begins with a freewheeling chat on the guest's idea of India, educational background and a lot more. They go on to the topic that flooded our mental space this week, the CAB, and its evil twin, the NRC. The duo discusses the topic from the perspective of the N.E, the ultra-sub nationalistic nature of the protests in Assam, the potential motivation behind this bill, and a lot more. As always, this podcast was done with the blessings of the great man, our secret listener with a Persian-origin surname.

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.

To celebrate this great time of both the Narendra Day and 5 years of BJPod, as we prepare something for you, we thought we would share some of our best work till then. Enjoy and share with friends.

Gang talks about the first day in the new parliament, the Modi Ji folder-folder khaali khaali folder. Also, India- Canada row and the trajectory our media and scientific temperament is sinking to.

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.

Rewinding on the first half of the year 0008 of our lord Modi Ji. Looking back at what our lord and all our overlords talked about. Reliving all the laughs that were had, tears that were shed, friends that were made and Uncles that we fell in love with.  

Gang gets together to comment on the wedding that is yet to happen in July. Raj used sentences like, "Let me defend Mukesh Ambani.. or let me defend Jay Shah." They also as per usual reviewed a few Hindutva-verse trailers this time Savarkar and Bastar. Some time was spent in talking about SBI letting Supreme Court know it is lunch time and general digressions that the pod indulges in.

Tune in and like and share and subscribe.

Gang gets together and has a whole rant on the way this world cup is going and especially that game between India and them. Then they jump into the Israel and Palestine situation and how India is reacting to it.

Tune in for the thoughtein.

Wishing you all a very Happy 75th Independence Day. Here's hoping we redeem our pledge and that Babasaheb's constitution prevails.

Old timers might recognize but as part of the birthday of the Mahamanav Modi Ji we propose our version of the Modi Ji film and it is better than what the Vivek's Oberoi and Agnihotri can. It is the story of an Avatar.

No Animals, Mothers or Cows were harmed during the re-imagining of this tale.

The gang gets together to have a lengthy chat around the post world cup celebration, the Ambani shadi and pyar kya hai? Also, liberalism kya hai and Bhagwan kya hai are discussed.
