Honestly, my very first impression of Abhijit Iyer wasn't good. Frankly, I found him to a bit khadoos...but the more I heard him talk, the more I started enjoying listening to him. Now he is someone I look foreword to listening to on podcasts. He is adorable, humorous and extremely knowledgeable.
Same for me but he is still to pessimistic and has shit predictions 😂
out of all podcasts of abhijeet this was the worst one. please watch abhijeet iyer mitra on DEF TALKS BY AADI.
he makes good fart jokes
Aww
Taklu ka Twitter account thik hua?
South Indian here
Agreed with the point that ya we southies have the language and land pride but my state anthem (Karnataka)goes as follows
Jaya bhartha jananiya tanujate
Jaya hai Karnataka mathe
It means Bharat is the mother who gave birth to Karnataka
So without india(Bharat) we are nothing!!
What the hell is a state enthem ?
@@alaypatel6050where r u from? u guys dont have a state anthem?
"my parents punished me by sending me to my room"
"You have a room?"
Certified moment.
@@alaypatel6050we have a state flag too.
@@rutvikrssome other states also have a state flag along with state emblem
It's been 3 days that I have been listening to Abhijit with different pod casters since the last 3 days. He is like an encyclopaedia of rare knowledge, specially on geopolitics, with interesting way of sharing!
Don't forget food and culture. It's always a delight listening to him
no he is not.😅😅
@@firstnamelastname6976 yes he is
@@imurbegum7864 He is an idiot who thinks Israel Palestine conflict started on Oct 7.
He says gold and bullshit at the same time, so yeah he is encyclopedia but you have to filter out what is gold ( I am listening to him since 2020 )
I m waiting for Abhijit's cooking channel since i was 10 now i m 26. I m still optimistic 🎉
😂😂😂 main bhi apna Abhijeet sbki dish main kami nikalta hai phir bhai ki dish main kami nikali jygi
Problem is there are dime and dozen cooking channels both Indian and foreign. AIM has a challenge entering this crowded space. Cant blame him
Same frrr
It depends on the format. The guy is already a genre unto himself on YT.
abijit is absolutely right..Telugu people donot differenciate themselves with north
Absolutely correct, past 8 years experience never ever got any discrimination from the people. 🎉. # it's just my experience.
I really wonder if Telugu's have much of self-respect as a linguistic group. Naku eppudu anipinchaledhu
@@TR-lb4om
Kya bola , madrasi ??
@@kaydee3407 Haha
i am living in kochi not know about other but here they dont discriminate in any sense infact they are like any other indian
This Man is Gold. The more you listen to Abhijeet Iyer Mitra , it just keeps getting better and he's been a great gossiper also plus source of geopolitical knowledge
he gives opnions as from a foriegner's prospective which hits the nail
@@swatteam2002 exactly , and this is what you always thought is a missing factor when you listen to some other people talking about geopolitics. Abhijit Iyer Mitra and Abhijit Chavda are the best because they know what should be known to people instead of what people want to listen for outsiders confirmation naturally
abhijiy formed his mentality because he spent half of his life living outside and traveling, he saw how respected nations run their countries @@omishinde7555
I am a fan of Abhijit, I am Bengali living in South India for many years. his humour and sarcasm is pure gold.
The host seems to have quite a superficial awareness of the issues in India. But Abhijeet as always puts all his critical arguments
Cut the host some slack due to his age , cant have the experience of AIM
Not even superficial. Totally lacks any kind of knowledge on India.
Thats the problem of most Indians @@gradstudent584
I just find this host dumb! Ranveer allahbadia is way too good
@@neelakulkarni9790 ranveer has his own biases lex, joe bantha thinks he is a white boy trys to fit foreign concept in Indian context
Abhijit iyer always has best conversations
Abhijit is right, we are a good news society and unless we solve this problem we ain't going further
I enjoy AIM conversations! They are very deep and knowledgeable!
Vinamre, I officially apologise for disrespecting you for bringing Kunal guy because you have graced us the presence of Her Royal Highess, the Archbitchess of Mylapore.
Just finished the 3 hour Samosa caucus 2.0 of ANI, expecting more Delhi Media gossip.
cant u handle difference of opinion.
why r u so intolerant
@NTIS-DHARMIK could have handled if the guest wasn't so dishonest. If I give him the benefit of the doubt and accept that he wasn't being dishonest, then he was just downright stupid. Agar left side ka opinion lena ta to koi dhang ka aadmi laate. Vo obscure chutiye ko kyu laaye?
@@NTIS-DHARMIKNot when the "difference of opinion" is just blatant misinformation.
@@NTIS-DHARMIK It's not about difference of opinion, it's about intolerance of misinformation. No one should tolerate misinformation.
@@NTIS-DHARMIKdifference of opinion and dishonesty are two different things
Being a part of Maithili bhraman community I can totally confirm what abhijit said
1:30:15 I'm from Andhra. In school, for Telugu we had single line books, for Hindi we had single BROAD line books and for English we had five line books. Even I used to think hanging letters of Hindi very unique
It is same in north
Yah its common in east indian script like (bengali-assemese)nagri, tirhut, kaithi, syllethi, modi, landha, devnagri while scripts like meiti, gujrati, sindhi have no upper slants and in south too no script has that
One can write Hindi without that line... I used to skip it when in class just to get the speed of writing. But later, while revising I would add it. Just a personal quirk and it looks neat. And I have seen some older manuscript without it. But when people do not use that upper line and their writing is not neat enough with enough space, it causes confusion.
Letters like dha and gha and Ma and Bha can cause confusions without that line. Many people even today cannot see the difference between Dya and Dha. They write sanyuktakshar d and ya for vidhyalaya as Dha. They cannot differentiate between Hindi/Sanskrit "Vidya" and "Vidha".
One wonders what schools are teaching today.
Besides southern script use rounded letters. They won't use a shirorekha like that. I read somewhere that shape of letters was influenced by of the writing material they used. I think it was because of the use of leaves to write. Though it has been a long time since I read the article so I may remember it wrong.
I also remember reading something similar that writing is based on what material people used to write on like stone, paper, leaves so they are more efficient example circular letter like Telugu are easier to write on leaves etc
Proper research should be done on Indian history and origins
This guy is food for thought
2.06 ...... This is so cool.... Explains the heavy usage of " Intel Based Ops" jargon in Western defence related reporting.
Fully agree with comments on current journalism
This was a great chat session…well done Vinamre. Abhijit doesn’t mention indian aithors as he hasnt read them. Sitaram goel, Ramayana n mahabharat translation by bibek debroy n many many local authors
Question was about philosophy & original literature without any ideology driven.
So is Meenakshi jains , book is without ideology . How about Kaushalya sashtra .
12.27 Bengali literature architecture got its boost and came up after the Karnataka origin Sena dynasty started ruling pre Islamic Bengal The Durga Pooja tradition began with this south Indian karnataka family The greatest Sena king Laxmana Sena had nine gems in his court He was lavish in piers luteratuers artists sculptors etc The Sena dynasty made Bengal military strong and Bengalis managed to rule over large areas of Bihar UP under the Sena’s Kashmir akso was under their control as evidenced by the great Sankara Gaureeswara temple which was built by King Laxmana Sena Dhaka city was built by Laxmana Sena named after his family diety Dhakeshwari Devi
Never heard such things, wants to know more about it
Rubbish! No such history was ever recorded.
wait hindi without a roof is 75% gujarati if you don't know, you can search it bro, like almost all grammar is same, atleast in writing
Yes
It's 80% Marathi with roof, just grammar is bit different, even vocabulary is exact
All of them including hindi are daughters of prakrits
No way bro put pizza in front of Raga in the thumbnail💀💀
for real. 🤡
Abhijit is rarest of the few people whom I love listening to, Love you Abhijit and Love to you Vinamra for bringing out so of many things ❤
Abhijit bhai, you need to be a food guide rather than a defence expert or election predictions (90% galat ho jata hai) but the food knowledge is spot on....
This podcast was a treat to watch, covered a wide range of topics in an interesting way!
It's just a shame that AIM's twitter account got hacked. Otherwise, We'd have able to see him in Sham Sharma and PGurus.
What does his Twitter has to do with pgurus and sss
@@ppk1243Yeah doesn't make any sense because in SSS Podcast they use streamyard for live video
Amazing conversations
@@MamtaSharma-mq7xt Because he's not appearing in these podcasts as of lately.
@@MamtaSharma-mq7xtWhy didn't he came on previous SSS Podcast?
AIM is one of the best asset in RW.
Actually gravitating to Vinamre after his recent podcasts. But small request Vinamre..please do a small fact check on many of ur listeners clIms cos many are act bluffing or merely speaking their PoV. This is a brilliant chat and i am v fond of abhijit. Very well conducted
Exactly we have given so much power to non elected people over our lives..
The person who is hosting seems to be under confident and has very limited understanding." How do you deep fry an omelette??" Kamaal hai Bhai.
When Abhijit started calling out gujjars the dude started getting insecure 😂
Good podcast. Unexpected to know AIM's journey.
i really didn't understood the blurred guy 😂somewhat looking like the guy comes on ndtv in evening and say , "namaskaar main...". love your work what you doing keep going. Entertain us and make us learn some very good things this year. LOTS OF LOVE from your 16yo brother ❤❤
The questions the host asks AIM shows the negative mindset he has on many issues, assuming it’s wrong without knowing the facts especially on what govt has decided to do.
He is a massive GFamily Fanboy.....
I just loved it
I always enjoy listening to AIM
damn the dostcast lightup thingy looks kinda sick ngl
Heard him on the beer bicep podcast and yours. But yours are more interesting to listen to.
Thanks,
Waiting for the next one.
I love listening to Abhijit Iyer, its like listening to a knowledgeable friend, who is also fun to hang out with 😊
Great conversion! Unpopular opinion, Osho's books go to the heart of socio-political issues of India.
Which one
What kind of ballooni is this ? The guy used to talk based on whatever he smoked that day.
@@rl1900 I found love, freedom and aloneness by Osho to be a really good book, it covers many aspects of Indian social issues as well.
@@alaypatel6050 have you read any of his books?
Conversation *
Love the monologue by aim
Bro literally roasted gujjar in front of a gujjar 😮
AIM is intellectual at the same time fun to watch 🙌
Mr. abhijit needs to start his cooking channel, the knowledge he has on different kind of cuisine is remarkable. He’s one of my new person i watch.
The only reason for watching podcasts is that it's a flowing conversation and it's unfiltered so please don't cut some parts of it and let it be harsh and unfiltered. As on 1hr52min and 19sec it's clearly visible that this part has been edited
AIM is quite correct while being 'incorrect' (POLITICALLY and in many other opinions of his) and justifiably so!
Went a natural coconut ice cream after this podcast.
Really enjoyed it with small pieces of tender coconut in it. ❤
Keep getting him
omg abhijit is 1 year older than my mom....
2:06:03 , Abhijit should have seen "escape from Tarkov" that game is exactly what he is talking about.
I shall make note. Thanks. I stopped playing after castle wolfenstein in the late 1990s
Wow. You got a response from The Mahua Fan. 😂 Love AIM.
You are nice man behind of lots deep information..
AIM and Kushal Mehra whom I like even when they bring up the bad side of India.
They are genuine and do this to address the problem, and not to bring in inferiority.
I exactly thought of Sushma Swaraj - she was also data driven and on-spot with her speech!! I miss hearing her, thanks Abhijit :)
1:29:39 I have a theory on the "roof" of Hindi.
Hindi is written today in Devanagari script. Unlike other major scripts in India like Grantha, Sharda or Modhi which originated in writings of brahmins, Nagari is more of a "royal script". The "Dev" in "Devanagari" is actually the King, not God. The kings would issue their edicts and coinage in Nagari script which would be carved on metals and stones. Now, for the stonemasons, it must have been hard to carve words without messing up their alignment (like some letters would seem up, some down). So, they would begin with carving a reference line and then hang the letters from that line. Later, when people started to copy royal edicts and their script, this practice became more common.
Few comments after watching the full episode.
Always, great insights listening to AIM.
First, the colonial hangover that prevails in us is depicted in full glory. We Indians would rather learn French, Spanish, or Italian, but never learn the Indian languages (I mean North Indians learning Kannada or Tamil or Telugu or Malayalam and the same way South Indians learning Hindi or Marathi or Gujarati or any language of the north), and both North and South Indians learning Sanskrit, but we take real pride in learning the languages from those countries which we were enslaved. (French, Dutch, British, and Portuguese ruled us before our so-called Independence). When are we going to understand the languages of our own country?
Secondly, Indian literature until the early 19th century has been mostly related to our philosophies, devotional, traditional, and belief systems. Later the country started witnessing writings on Politics, freedom movement, anti-British, anti-colonists, etc., However, once the Macaulay education started its effect on the people, the writings also saw a sea change, thoughts, views, and ideologies changed, though the country did not witness writings that impacted globally but started to impact India in general. Umpteen writings can acclaim global credits today, not the English writings but many vernacular writings. One such writer Shri S. L. Byrappa (Kannada Writer) and his Kannada novels have been translated into many Indian languages, the context and ethos are completely Indian but many of his novels are none less than any acclaimed global novels. One should read them if you get an opportunity. (Eg., Vamsha Vriksha, Parva, Tabbaliyu Neenade Magane, Yana, and many more)
Thirdly, your comment on Rightists and Leftists, different types of Rightists (French Rightists, Italian Rightists, German Rightists, Indian Rightists, etc.,) the rightist views are generally relevant to the locals, whereas the leftist views are more global and hence it is easier for the leftist to weave a narrative and viral it, which is seriously a matter of concern. The woke culture is becoming a new norm in the academies and is also getting heads up in the corporates. Our rightist ideology “Vasudaiva Kutumbakam” (meaning the world is one family) has to get promoted across the globe. End of the day, we need not toe the line of other rightists, we are going to be the globally 3rd largest economy with a huge potential to grow and become a 25 trillion-dollar economy over the next 15 to 20 years and in parallel should become one of the major force in the world eyeing for a global role.
We want more and more podcast with Abhijeet A Mitra...😄
I like your raw conversation mate
But please give some background or context of a topic it saves time
I'm trying to learn more about Indian politics
Jaldi shuru karooo
A time when your podcast are meaningfull now i feel u are more shot of going towards to reach many people you can
Abhijit have you tried bihari egg pouch, Just try to make once i promise you will love it.
😅
Host did an amazing job
Devnagari may have roof because of lots of compound words in poetic sanskrit , having all of them together conveys the meaning that it is a single word rather than multiple words. In the same way Gujarati which doesn't have lot of poetry and it is a transactional language doesn't have a roof on it
1:15 state BJP strategy
raj 2:25
chha 3:23
mp 3:56
The quote from a former prime minister of Australia Paul Keating, saying unless you're scripted you're useless comes to mind
No nonsense intelligence all throughout. Greetings AIM, from Malaysia.

Nahin Abhijeet Tum Obnoxious nahin ho ! I love you ! You talk sense
Excited to see Avijit sir ji
The cousin he was talking about is Adi shankar who made shankar animation studios.
Damn! I didn't know that he was AIM's cousin!
What? The guy who made Castlevania anime. Holy hell
@1:12:59 exactly and that's why till date I have eaten biriyani at multiple places but the best one I have had was in Kannur ( Kerala @ MVK ) IYKYK 😉
Abhijeet 🎉❤🔥 Dostcast you need to increase your knowledge pl
1:11:40 even my mother made crunchy stuff paratha, and we are also Marathi Maharashtrian 😀 so ya I guess only we have that power
Sound needs more clear. Thanks for this podcast.
Dost kar de start I love you
34:00 Oh god. I just now had this horrible experience writing a design document because everyone thinks it's "basic".
20:55 Judiciary part in the video is very true. There is so much nepotism which needs to be end.🧐
GOAT
As someone who lives in Italy, Italians LOVE garlic. There’s so much garlic in everything. They don’t hold out on how much they put it in everything.
Secondly, 1:10:24 it’s mandatory in Jammu to eat Rajma Chawal with a ladle of ghee on top. That’s just how we’ve always done.
Subscribing it for you Abhijit!!!
Love you and your views. Some views are bothersome but that’s Constructive Criticism!!!
Dost, Abhijit caught you on Gujjar ❤and I can affirm that he said it for all the races and castes and it’s true.
This podcast made me start learning cooking
Please provide reference for 80% decline in accidents for automatic transmission.
1:48:43 I wouldn't have expected anything else😂
I want "Cooking with AIN" is next podcast.
Agree with him that these Italian CZcamsrs have double standards about how a pizza should be. When an Italian changes something then they hale praises but when a non Italian tries something new then they loose their shit
Thats real talk.. Liked it very much.. You guys are funny😂😂 .
1:52:18 Why did you edited ?
Would like to see 2 guests of opposite ideologies together. Like Abhijit and Kunal Purohit
Kunal Purohit is not intellectual. He has very vague thinking
100% agreed, he just talks anything @@AryanRajput-no2ev
How can someone have surname Purohit and be leftist

facts told 🙌
Okay I'm vouching, turtle meat is a thing or was used to be in my childhood (2003-2007)
1:52:20 why was it edited? Please restore it back seemed important.
At 30:00 What is innovative knowledge?
I concur with most of the thoughts put forward by AIM
Hi , How can i connect with you for the Podcast
Please connect me with your relevant team
Rajasthan Elections are never majority Oriented
Rajput are one of powerful people, but they are not major powerhouse
Power is like shared in rajasthan
So rajputs, Jats,Yadav's and Gurjars with Brahmins are the powerhouse Seems like the story of every North Indian state.
@@humanityisdoomed Meena re also dominated cast
Please invite Ami Ganatra and Nilesh Oak together. Lot of people still don't recognise Nilesh Oak's research. Would like to hear constructive positive discussion among two researchers on Mahabharat and Ramayan.
It was a fun podcast but avoid interrupting Abhijit when he speaks
