Man this one on one of Anand ranganathan with Salvatore babones was hard to watch .
Why was Anand not letting him speak ?
Yes. Rare from Anand, but absolute cringe behaviour.
@@SenapatiM96 exactly.. I literally thought Anand was possessed
I think he tried to top the Abhinandan sekri interview from news laundry
@@mowiththeflow4446 😂
Anand ranga is a fool, Salvatore rightly shown him his place.
Ranga wants US style Freedom of speech then why not US style Gun laws??? Just because the US has it, does not mean we should too. But Ranga is a liberal/lefty. Ironically George Soros is also a liberal lefty. Liberalism is the cancer that destroys society...
Supreme court transgression is a big threat to democracy. Rightly pointed out by Salvatore.
One of the very few videos in which Anand being present is disappointing, it was really hard to see...😶

Did that Asshole Anand Ranganathan wanted to snatch away the Voting Rights from Indian Citizens too?????
Anand sir
You're going off the deep end
The completely subverted the discussion
Chops to Salvatore for sticking to the topic
Very impressive to see though most viewers have RW leaning, but they are rightly calling out totally unacceptable, despotic, petty behaviour of Ranganathan in the comment section. This separates non-left from left where non-left still criticise their idols whole-heartedly when needed to.
Yes that's why I m non left
Rightly said
True...

Dr Anand wanted to do a monologue it seems. But he was made a moderator instead. The organizers should have sorted it out. Even kushal mehra would have been a good moderator for this.
Love for Salvatore from Bangladesh ❤️🇧🇩
Anand c'mon man, let Salvatore some time to make his points.
Salvatore is getting all the time, he is giving very roundabout answers like a politician.
Look at his choice of Indian journalists who he calls his gurus for writing on Indian democracy.
@@S0S0ant1
AR frustrated that he wasn't chosen! 😂
@@head_scratch if you had only known……….
I hope Salvator see the comment section. I think he was very irritated when he was not getting time to speak.
AR is good only at 9 pm tv debates
As a moderator he really disappointed
AR largely ruined the session
He didn't give much space to Salvatore and turned the show into a monologue
Feeling sorry for SALVATORE

Because This is What AR is Ruthlessly Hide from Indian Public.
When Dr Baboon was Coming to the Jury Right Concept, that a Western and Developed Countries have Jury Right, AR Shamelessly Interrupted him.
This is what happens when you don't have moderators in debates. Why is AR going personal with him?
I don't think AR likes him that much, especially because Prof. Babones's latest data based paper states categorically that 90% of Indian Muslims are proud to be Indians. This doesn't play well with Ranganathan's pet peeves.

@@janbawaingade303 oh my I love it when chauthi fails think that they are geniuses!
@@MaTara01 they say that they are proud Indians that doesn't mean that they really are from inside.
AR totally disappointed me with his behaviour
Pain is obvious in talks of Aanand Sir😢.but Salvadore is not to blame😢😢
Good discussion, nice to hear an outside perspective as well through Salvatore Balbones.
I kind of get the premise of both the speakers, one says Democracy is liberty to vote or fire your leader.
Counter Argument - what is the point of that power when in reality there is no freedom of speech, suppression & subversion is prevalent.
Counter to that - well that is not the issue of democracy it is the issue of the people, you should vote and change that.
One has an academic stand point and the other argues from the practicality.
I am a big fan of Anandji, and as an Indian I totally empathize with his pain regarding the state of democracy in India. Of course we cant sit back and say it's a great, biggest functioning democracy, when we have interference from outside compounding the already inherent issues - corruption, bigotry, religion, caste, wealth distribution, healthcare and what not.
The worst of all: Not knowing our own history!!! I came to the shocking realization as recently as just 2 years ago that the history we learnt as 80's kids is a glossed over history! no wonder it was was such a drag. Thanks to champions such a Sai Deepak, Sampath, Rajiv Malhotra, Anand R and many others for bringing out this cover up and exposing the leftist obfuscation.
But I am sure we are on the right path to come out of it, reclaim our glorious history and move forward and show the world what India can do, we dont need to follow the western ideology of democracy....
'right to own a gun' is not democracy, having not the need to own a gun is! Can that be acheived by law & constitution alone no the people need to follow a way of living which could be 'Sanathana Dharma'
Razor sharp analysis and articulation by Salvadore... unbiased and pointed. When Sun arise light of moon becomes unnoticeable. To test your hypothesis you should listen to the challengers of your hypothesis and the facts and analysis presented by these journalist, not to them who are in the support of it. Purpose and perspective of two of them are completely different.
Anand reduced this to a monologue, which we are so used to on prime time debates.... This was meant to be a discussion...Anand undid himself...
Mr. Anand ... U absolutely nailed it.. Mysore Pak.. just let me know where to send it ... U decide how much $$
Btw I am a fan of Prof. Salvatore.. been following him for a long time... But Mysore Pak goes to Mr. Anandji..
How many Right Wingers like SHAM SHARMA, AKTK, STRING or even JAI SAI DEEPAK had Talked about these 4 Rights ever once in their Life?????

I wouldn’t call it Nehruvian outfit. It was a common dress of all Indians during those times. Even Morarji Desai and Lal Bahddur Shastri wore the same
@@sonalidave8067 At least _Salvatore_ thought that way. But for most Indians it has become Nehru's benchmark attire. They even called it Nehru's topi and Nehru's jacket. Nehru owned that style although many others were equally trending with it back in the day.
Maybe that's why he seemed to be avoiding eye contact with him. 😂
@@snl1754 it's just a common outfit in north back then,
But nehru being PM he was highlighted in every media house so maybe that could be the reason.
What exactly is Anand Ranganathan trying to do here? Why is he treating Prof Babones like an adversary he is trying to shut out? Prof Babones has valuable points which are extremely useful for us to learn and understand. He has shown us how to dissect the global rankings and to take them out intelligently. A Smitha Prakash would have done a wonderful job of drawing out the interviewee and leaving us enriched with new knowledge. This, on the other hand, is an absolute disaster. There was also no need for Dr Ranganathan to take pot shots at Rajdeep Sardesai and Shekhar Gupta. You might not like their views but bringing it up on a platform like this was absolutely churlish. With the views that Prof Babones holds on India and Indian democracy, there can be no doubt that the shishya is an extremely shrewd one who has learnt only the good lessons from the gurus!
I hope Arth will ensure that they get appropriate interviewers for their next edition.
Absolutely 💯
It should have been either Sanjeev Sanyal or Smita Prakash..
@Laxmi Rajesh You said it right. I agree with you
right100 percent
Knowing Ranga Sir, I won't be too harsh on him. It's true that he behaved quite uncharacteristically but maybe he knows things that we don't know of.
Personally, I have seen a few interviews of Prof Babones and he reminded me of one of my professors who could give references of books right up to page numbers and line numbers upon being asked a question but could never give the answer. To me Prof Babones has always come out as a guy who would invariably stop short of calling spade a spade, and maybe that's because of his gurus. Such balancing acts aren't required by transparent people with outright honesty.
Moreover, his paper on INDn Democracy is not about highlighting it but about proving how the methodology of the West is flawed and how they lack in quality and penetration. It's again about the West and it's flaws. Here too he repeatedly insisted that it isn't that the verdict on IND is flawed but that the methodology is flawed and thereby the verdict by inference.
Great Dr Anand R
Awesome 💯💯!
Come on @ Arth Fest why have you edited out the entry of Prof. Babones in his Nehruvian avatar and the ensuing tomfoolery between him and Dr. Ranganathan before they sat down for the chat? It was pure comedy gold - probably the first of its kind amongst bona fide intellectuals in India!
As for AR's interviewing skills on display here, the less said the better. I dare say I wasn't surprised, given that most of these male Indian talking heads have egos the size of double decker buses! But to give AR some credit, I also find Prof. Babones's effusive admiration of RS, SG and KT incredibly grating on my nerves! I think the Professor is being too gracious towards those three up their own old arses geezers and undervaluing his own intellect, expertise and other diverse textual & digital resources. To think that both RS & SG have done hit pieces on the Professor, after meeting up with him, just goes to show how mean - spirited these so - called journos are.
Totally on point. Although I regularly watch RW channels like Sam sharma show and Advaita channel etc because most of their views align with mine. However I am always very astonished and saddened when on twitter anyone counters their point logically they straightaway reply it with a vile abuse and get personal or make fun instead of countering with facts or logical arguments. Their egos are so high that they they think a normal follower do not have any intellect to even indulge with them. Have seen this behaviour from most RW ideologues like AIM, Ranganathan, Kushal mehra etc. They have a huge ego problem. Here also Salvatore had so many good counters and points to make but realising Anand can't win his arguments he was not letting him speak at all.
@@varunsingla4718 yes, it's a big problem. They are incredibly immature. Such toddler level behaviour shows up their insecurities. They all need to visit shrinks!
@@MaTara01 Hahaha nice usage of words there.
@@varunsingla4718 thanks!
Anand ranga is a fool, Salvatore rightly shown him his place.
Ranga wants US style Freedom of speech then why not US style Gun laws??? Just because the US has it, does not mean we should too. But Ranga is a liberal/lefty. Ironically George Soros is also a liberal lefty. Liberalism is the cancer that destroys society...
Supreme court transgression is a big threat to democracy. Rightly pointed out by Salvatore.
I urge everyone to really pay attention and understand the long term game plan of people like prof Salvatore. We all like the praises of India, but we have to understand the deception. As our economy is excelling and our country is growing, these kinds of western scholars will be strategically placed in India to praise India and it's current policies, because they know that if we truly get better policies and reforms in judiciary and freedom of speech and election then India will overtake American and the west. Therefore to keep us from excelling and improving they are now starting to praise indian democracy so that we don't change some fundamental issues and improve and evolve even further. Dr Anand ranganathan is a true patriot and nationalist, he is criticizing India on those points which is stopping its growth.
Finally....a serious comment in section ... I Don't know why they can't understand this ....AR is not the villain here , he just want true democracy
You are great Dr Anand rangnathan I salute you
An Indian wearing a suit and foreigner embracing khadi well I love this.
Salvatore you rocks
I agreed 100% with Mr Salvatore on everything.

Did that asshole Anand Ranganathan knows about it????
I see a lot of people bashing Anand for being bad anchor. And some saying proudly that non left can criticise it’s own idols. But the bigger question is not the conduct of anchor but the principles of democracy.
Anand is very correct in highlighting issues which doesn’t and shouldn’t be the part of any democratic society.
Apart from highlighting 2 real issues with Indian democracy, I think Salvatore was trying to be politically correct all the time.
He has praised India whenever I saw him on TV but I also see a reflection of being politically correct in Professor Salvatore which might have triggered Anand. Comparing Anand’s free speech and expression to freedom of keeping firearms I think is not a correct argument.
He is a out and out supporter of free speech therefore I understand his frustration.
From my point of view, I think both are right in there own ways, Salvatore thinks in term of election process whereas Anand thinks in the way how the country is being runned. He took it little personally.
AR dude this is not Arnab’s prime time TV show
Man is so used to it he has to speak everywhere
Anand Ranganathan was put in place.
Anand Sir hit it hard. There are many wants to listen more this Britisher , no surprise we are habitual of their conformity.
Anand did it right we don't need to listen them. Let them listen us.
Come what may Anand is the one whom I will follow 🚩🚩🚩
👍
SB views are better but the ethnic cleansing in AU and US must not be forgotten . monolithic society issues are very diff from those of INDIA
He isn't patronising.... he helps listeners be objective 👍
Exactly. Anand claims to be an intellectual but he's having trouble grasping basic points.
Prof Babones actually beat Anand here.. Anand has finally met a person to give him a true challenge..
Pls let the guest also speak😅😅😭😭😭
Anand disappointed 🙈 he shouldn't be personal and he should have given him more time to showcase his points
Now I wanted to show, what Salavator Points were, Which that Bloody Anand Ranganathan Ruthelessly Hide from Public.

Both Profesor and Ranga sir are both right . But it seems Ranga sir is making good arguments. He isn't convinced India is a True Democracy
But Professor says India is still with all its fallacies .
Ranga says there r many issues, so not a true democracy
Its NOT possible to make changes like Professor tells us.
Because we are constructed in our constitution, Courts are Monarch.

Anand was underwhelming in this interaction
And that's an understatement.
Karan Thapar taught Salvatore....hahahahaha 🤣 that IS hilarious. What he learnt from him would be very interesting to know.
Don't act smart Anand! Let him talk! Give him respect
let anand sir rest...i think hes carrying his momentum from another discussions here...what is this really? he doesnt need to be so antagonistic to someones whos one-not from here , so all the policies doesnt affect him and 2- who is an analyst who evaluates data, and his analyses from the outside brings him at a converging point with us...i hate to say this but this was as bad if not worse than when rajdeep interviewed him and kept interupting.

As pointed out in the beginning. The anchor came unprepared, just like a 9 Pm Indian tv debate.
The debate was off when Salvatore took name of rajdeep as his guru😂😂
Fir anyone saying Ranga was rude 24:20 "everything you're saying maybe true" ,damn it Sal is basically that Indian people aren't convinced by truth, which is in fact right of Sal, but he in fact proves Anand's point, Indians democracy is shit, people don't vote based on truth and issues, but rather, for small benifits and blind faith
This is the best debate on this forum
Anand ji, Hanumanji had once told Raavana, अछि विद्या कहीं से भी मिले, ग्रहण कर लेनी चाहिए! Here Mr Salvador managed to find nuggets of knowledge from the the people you don't consider worthy, yet he came off better than you... !!! Hmm...
I accept salvatore’s points… free speech in a higher HDI country is different from complete free speech in lower HDI country as people are easily radicalised here … mr. Anand needs to understand most of Indians are not people like him wearing a suite and giving lectures . Elite ckass is very minimal and mojority are way below… we need economic boom before we can compare that with these other countries.
Very astonishingly for me Anand comes across as pushy , coercive , petty and immoderate in his attitude this time !! He just does not provide civil room for the Professor to even position his views . Does anyone else feel that way too ??
You are absolutely right!
wow it was utterly incomprehensible. I am not sure why there was such hostility and passive/aggressive vibe but it ruined the "discussion" and turned it into more of a vendetta like situation. Was not pleasant at all!
Dr Anand Ranganathan is an encyclopedia of FACTS, he is a gift to our nation. Long live Dr. Ranganathan. JAI BHARATH
Anand sir is just 🔥
I'm so confused, whether this supposed to be a debate, a discussion or a monologue. Let the guest speaker speak dude. We listen to you daily. This was chance to get a fresh and neutral perspective. Completely wasted.
they shud get a professional interviewer who doesn't want to put his thoughts out there...
Oh really??
@Abhinay Jain💯🤔
😀😀 Dude till how more days indians should listen and hear what western thinks about us ?? Why they should not understand why we think about them... J Shankar was quote western countries think their problem is words problem but words problem is their... Till how mare days we should appreciate the insulated from westerns, let them be insulted from us some day..
@@vickyv4707 Yeah whether they have any authority over our land or not doesn't matter. Even when they aren't interested in our affairs personally still they can form any statistical data, claiming our India to be a non democratic nation. But what are we supposed to do? We are supposed to hear their opinion and interview them properly. So that they have travelled long way and of course 'atithi devo bhawa'. But sorry to say we are now not interested to welcome such guests who in return are supposed to just spread negativity about us. Thank uu.
Its was more like two friends discussing...but Mr. Ranganathan should show some restraint...he is unstoppable 🤣

Anand Sir I like to listen to your debates and homilies but one thing is for sure.. you could be a better listener..
i dont get it? who was the guest and who was the host
Anand ji was awesome
What is being ranked!??
Conclusion - Moderator is required
What Anand Wants is not DEMOCRACY but he wants a JUSTICE-CRACY.....but Democracy is not a place where everything will be CORRECT, It means that EVERYTHING WILL BE ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF PEOPLE BY PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE....
So if you want a democracy to be Correct and Perfect, you need the PEOPLE to be correct and Just
Quite a fun exchange! I think this was a conversation between equals rather than a question answer session. Anand has the standing to challenge Salvatore! But he should have moderated his behaviour and not used this platform to grandstand his views. He gets enough platforms to do that.
For the first time saw Ranga Sir get owned. Maybe he should rethink about his liberal ideas and start being "original", a Bharatiya.
Agree with Laxmi Rajesh. We never went to questions even though AR started it off with throwing it open to questions, petty behaviour by AR. The point is to listen to the guest and not ram your own viewpoint, you have to steelman at the start and not strawman it.
Babones was making some fair, relevant and most of all, interesting points. He deserves a better anchor than AR
Salvatore was not so much to say criticizing Indian Democracy. Anand accused him of patronising but i don't observed that this was true because Salvatore instead told the subjects in which India outshine every other country be it the power of Judiciary , power of Elelction Commission , participation of large number of voters during election in our country. Despite being critical of the left views we must develop the ability to accept good and constructive opinions for the left side as well. Else they will accuse of being andhbhakt, extremist right winger and conservative and other false accusations. I would rather prefer J Sai Deepak to debate on such topics along with Anand Ji against the left people. Thank You.
Yaar anand apni khujali baad me mita lio. Guest ko bolne to de

The biggest flaw of a democracy is that the value of vote of a doctor and a drug addict is equal... What will happen to a country where is a large number of people are of criminal or anti national or uneducated mindset... What kind of govt are they going to choose...
Please explain your heading because it is everywhere and nowhere. What rankings????
The 3 he mentioned exposed this Nehru look alike.
Ranganathan be more practical with Bharat democracy which has so much been skewed by leftist and socialist Nehru like authotirian
I don't want india to be free speech absolutist😐...... Change my mind .
People in the comments section are in awe of the white man who comes to India and tells us what we are and what we ought to be. I guess brown sepoys deserve brown sahibs to rule over them, may be the white sahibs too... Who knows?
Please can we get sanjeev sanyal... AR is like a berserker out of a viking raiding party.. 😂
AR went from bad to worse, the gentleman was making his points very precisely, calmly, logically... This AR is no match in a serious, logical discussions. Just theatrics, antics, personal jibes
AR lost respect with this 🤦🤦 I usually respect him.
True... He was being pathetic.
The problem was that Professor was very specific and NOT going to be part of the narrative of Anand, even though we saw how Vivek Agnihotri was targeted and Shekhar Gupta criticised the movie by openly saying I haven’t watched the movie and then went on to say how wrong the movie was.
Anand’s frustration is from that perspective, Professor just cannot sit on fence.
Now demarcation of MP seats, that’s because the federal republic has to give equal representation as much as possible otherwise we fear dilution of linguistic states which is what created Bangladesh.
USA has Indian Nations a sort of independent territory for Native Indians, and Australian Aboriginals what has the US / Aus done to positive affirmation to these populations constitutionally ? So that’s not democratic either.
Judges collegium in India is very difficult question to answer and freedom of speech is dependent on which party you support.
I think we have our fault lines … so in a way democracies simply cannot be compared. The day you compare you will get China as the most democratic nation😂
Didn't expected from Anand, very poorly conducted Salvatore raised some valid points, may have been amazing if he were allowed to elaborate.
Anand turned out to be bad anchor today 😆
Anand as a moderator disappointed
Well must agree with Prof Salvatore there.....what you debate in any court is for justice, no democracy there....and as Anand says majority being sidelined in our democracy....again if 'majority' wanted they wouldn't have been sidelined they would have voted and won....there's more than just plain numbers and demographics at play in our elections.......time to understand this and act accordingly.
Majority won in Guj riots case first by vote then by court. Same with the Ayodhya temple case. Even the worst rape offenders have been pardoned by the voted govt (Bilkis Bano case). Elected govt enjoys a free hand but that's not enough somehow.
The difference I see, Anand Ranganathan mentions examples and interprets it to reflect Bharath's context. Salvatore has not enough examples and applies western framework in viewing the Indic context.
beafor u make any opinion u should watch mr salvador with raajdeep then u will u get it.
Salvatore, c'mon man, let Anand some time to make his point.
Dr. Rangnathan is deflecting shortcoming of BJP on Democracy, BJP can repeal Places of worship act but it fears Jihadist violence. so it's the problem of government.
However we can agree with Dr. Salvatore that Supreme Court poses greatest danger to democracy in India.
Enjoyed it throughly. Lies were getting exposed and destroyed.
