when loud mouthed people like Sarabhai say people get lynched in Gujrat for a small misdirection dont you think it was irresponsible on your part not to have corrected her or given her statistics or asked her for statistics? SHAME ON YOU.
@@user-jy6cu3gh3e I think ur not getting the point that I am trying to make. I think ur busy reading the brain damaging book called kuran 5 times a day and that explain your poor comprehension of ideas

Sarabhai and Lalbhai families have given great institutions to our country like IIMs, NID, Atira, PRL, and ISRO. They are the priceless assets of our country.
@@meghnachoudhury1622 True, all were Govt. funded. Those renowned Gujarati families helped Govt.to build, develop all these organisations, institutions with their expertise. They were visionaries. As Indians, we should acknowledge that.
@@daliakarmakar5123 oh okay. That's great. I used to think it's just 1 1 person from these families which help build these institutions, and not multiple members contributing together.
@@meghnachoudhury1622 *And the Gujaratis were clearing leading and managing them. Don't know what you are so butthurt about that you can't acknowledge Gujarati's contribution. You are a woman and a choudhury so really don't expect much from your kind. You can keep sulking.*
Once the interview started, I just could not stop listening. Manisha prepared well and did a wonderful job of interviewing her. Everything about Mallika, her family, her work, her struggles struck a deep chord in me. It was geniune and balanced. It brought out my Indianness as never before. Perhaps because I am only a few years younger than her. Whatever it may be. it opens our eyes to what we have become and what we promised ourselves to be when we became a independent country. Hyperconsumerism and xenophobic pride is wreaking a havoc once again across the world. I wish now to know more about her and her work. A wonderful human being that all Indians can be proud of.I will also share this video to all my contacts.
What struggles ? She was born in one of the wealthiest families in gujarat. Rubbed shoulders with all top congress politicians. Acted in movies inspite of not being a good actor. I wish more Indians had struggles like her. Kuch bhi.
@@samirk5789 Perhaps you did not hear the complete interview. Her Parents had serioius differences and she had stopped talking to her Dad whom she loved deeply and he died while she was young/ Further, she has been treated as an outcast by the Modi Government and the Hindutva groups for being supportive of Muslims. So if you believe in the right wing Hindutva ideology then her struggles will mean nothing to you. I can understand that.
@@AsmaSohailMRTH She was arrogant and mean. She fought with her dad, daughter and her husband. Here daughter did not speak to her and her marriage ended in divorce. This is her own doing. Just bcos she abuses Modi, your type loves her.
Absolutely my thought. Also on many points like relationship with God, it seemed like I'm speaking!! That's how we should be, not scared of God but be their children or friend or whatever... Essentially a human relationship.
@@tutulable So all of us do that. However, respecting other's sentiments is also important. Try and ask your mamata or mahua to speak a word against islam . That is the bangali hypocrisy . They will abuse maa Kali but will dare not speak against Islam .
Wow. Interesting. I lived in a mainly hindu area, with a Muslim bakery. I remember in 90s my cousin was part of the group that joined riot against Muslims. They broke into the one bakery and distributed ice cream. My cousin who participated in it, his father was in police. And he aimed to be in police. As a child i remember thinking, how is this okay? It is stealing. Basically wrong. But no adult stopped him from going or reprimand him. The point of gujrati migrants was key. Something i always wondered.
You are absolutely spot on about looting/stealing no Gujarati migrants! I ask this questions about Indians bragging about Incredible India today but leave the country heading westwards in droves
Well, this is one of the best interview I ever watched in CZcams. Mallika Sarabhai is truly a great human being and very inspiring. Manisha as an interviewer has been equally appreciable.
My father was an employee of Swatik Soaps. Sarabhai Group of Companies. Hope I get to meet Mallika once. She was a visionary back in 1988-90 saying that Regional TV channels will be big. She was always ahead of time and therefore did not get expected success. A very strong personality.
The young of today will never know the strange yet alive cohesiveness of cultures in various parts of our country, not just in gujrat but else where in the country. Amalgamation of so many different facets of being.... That is how one evolves and becomes 'educated' cannot say how refreshing this conversation has been.. Bringing back memories of the past... Thank you!!!!
There are two brave men among Gujarati's today............ u can bet on that.................... yeah........... they are Teesta Setalvaad & Mallika Sarabhai.👍 Give a thumbs up to them🙏
I agree with Mallika, when I qas growing casteism was looked down. We had a new student in class, he asked one student... kaun si jaat ho. For the rest of years in school we called him JAATI.
During two years -1996-97, I lived in Ahmedabad, only slice of a cultural evening I witnessed was a musical performance by a Swedish jazz band "Mynta" if I remember correctly at Darpan. Ahmedabad and Gujarat generally seemed to be a cultural desert where making money seemed to the only obsession people had. Mallika Sarabhai herself and her family on the other hand were and are names synonymous with the finest representation of arts and culture that Gujarat offers
Stumbled on this channel for the first time and liked the interviewer. Was planning to spend lexlss than 5 mins and saw the entire interview. Well done for asking all the sticky questions and let the guest speak. Mallika Sarabai is someone who's called BS and has courage to stand up to the nationalists. She's right...wearing relision up the sleeves let's you digress from building institutions and infrastructure which take generations forward. More power to her.
This interview was long due. One of the intellectuals of Gujarat but sadly are groping for a voice/ space today. She has articulated the several dilemmas so well.
Thank you very much for this interview. Is a welcome relief to know that we are yet not a country where everyone is terrified to speak openly about beliefs and opinions.
Wonderful interview. Got to know a lot from Mallika herself, rather than rocket boys. As an art enthusiast in Ahmedabad, really love the great work they are doing through Darpana Academy.
This is a strange gujrat now. My 5 years of stay during the years '71-75/76 were so beautiful merging with International community of students exchanging arts nd culture nd laughter. Very sad that politics has ruined all the best feelings nd respect we had for Gujrat or Baroda. Regrets! I still remember watching Madam Mrinalini's dance recital in Baroda. Mallika is very right nd your interview is great congrats
👍🏼❤️ Great interesting discussion with great Mallika Sarabhai, more respect to her and her ideology, we Indians are unlucky not to give such broad minded people a chance to rule the country..!
Lovely interview. I couldn't watch the interview at a stretch. Whenever I was getting time I was specifically searching for the interview to continue from where I stopped. Amazing !
One of the best interviews of news laundry with someone i know especially for dance but she has more knowledge on other things also other than dance.And how she uses it for the society through her performances .i want to watch more chats like this with other artists also 👍👍🙏🙏.
Yes. I greatly enjoyed. What a colusses she is! Mallika! Yet human. And loved the interviewer too. Actually she was not interviewing but probing but with love. Thanks...
Loved this tete a tete. Brilliant interviewer. Mallika's mother Mrinalini hails from an ancient illustrious family of Kerala. Capt Lakshmi sehgal is her aunt.
We badly need such thought provoking interviews n true transparent leaders running our country....keeping my 🤞...someday Ma'am, it wud b a pleasure to see you as someone designing our next generation's India....
lovely interview, great questions asked and some great replies. Though I still believe art is a prerogative of the rich, and much more needs to be done to bring people from marginalised sections to performing arts. I think she interpreted it wrongly, and only discussed how can her art be influential, but that is how art remains within the discussions in the drawing rooms of few people. Nonetheless, thanks for doing this piece. Mallika Sarabhai is brave and speaks her mind fearlessly.
In India we have a rich tradition of folk, Dalit, tribal art. Its a cop out to say that art is the prerogative of the rich. The rich can try to patronize, no more.
im middle class, but i find her approach to make the ppl, city and country better very aspirational... better to arouse the logos and ethos of the ppl than the pathos...
I agree with you. She was born into a wealthy family. The rest of her achievements were irrelevant to Gujrat or its people. She is just an old banshee.
Ahmedabad is one city with no redeeming qualities. Every time I visit I want to leave asap. I totally dislike the city and it’s people. It’s dry in every sense.
The gujarati bania men are never seen in armed forces but these ‘deshbhakts ‘ have no shame to enter into business deals with the ‘enemy’ nations pak n china …They are also dominant in committing all financial crimes
Not every profession is for everyone but both the professions you mentioned are important for the country ,so stop degrading those associated with those
@@imonsarker3766 : in the USA n other countries everybody is compulsorily enrolled in the military (conscription) …in india only the bahujans are made scape goat but bania bammans keep enriching themselves through crooked means ; most of the financial scamsters , fraudsters are from bania-bamnan castes n they control 80% of wealth despite being just 10% . These criminals shld be forcibly made to join the armed forces n face the music
Ms Sarabhai? Wow. I have played with her son in my School. She comes from a good khaandan. hum gujratio me kaha jata hai, jab khandani log bolte hai tab kaan laga ke sunana chahiye
@@Trollika_Devi Jin khaaandaano me hire "dimonds" paida hote hai unke liye exceptions hote hai. Ye reservation saputo keliye hi hota hai.

Kash aap artist hote ya historian! muje thoda easy hota. lookup the word in wiki dictionary.
@@heeralohia9021 It actually does. Reputation isn't accidental. Most often it's tied to caste privilege and the financial or social upkeep that's aided by it. I come from a family that's supposed to be 'khaadani' (well before things went downhill anyway) and I've seen how that generates a kind of currency in society that people actually don't deserve. I've seen people treat my mother differently when they come to know whose granddaughter she is ,when actually she deserves a lot more respect for the struggles she's had as an individual . That her grandfather was who he was had a lot to do with the privilege he was born into. He was a great man for sure but if he hadn't received the upbringing he got or the education he got things would have been different . Yunhi nahi hote :) That's what I was getting at.
@@Not_so_whimsical . giving an interview full of pessimistic and irrational outlook towards societies is not fearless. 99.99 PERCENT of her interview was based on conjectures, assumptions and not on facts. Do you think dentists and gynecologists in 2002 went to loot shops? does she have evidence for it if not for her botoxed mouth?
@@indipacifician3693 Am explaining what is savage, I also find other side of the spectrum also savage commentators. Loving an interview cannot be because a person is supporting the person, the nuances need to be followed. For me be it right wing/left wing ideology both are equally respected and both have their set of views.
India need a system like European Union so that Regional aspiration are attempted. Many developed countries are smaller than a state in India. The lifestyle in those countries are enviable..
@@archiem654Not true, places like Hungary didn't have colonies but it still has better living standards. The main issue is the median IQ of the people because only high IQ enables the science and technology needed to support First World lifestyles. Indian median IQ is similar to that of Africans, so can't expect India to be a First World country.
@@cg8397 other factors like same language, same religion are also responsible there because it's easier to manage people who have similar aspirations culturally and otherwise.
She is good for interview. But why did you interview Anar Patel- she did pure bjp propaganda and you didn't cross question her. Not expected from news laundry.
Beti Dekho aisa HEI, this lady has Zero class in front of Anar Patel, who has done amazing society hard work instead of finding Fake Jutta narrative just because Ek chaiwala kese Gus Gaya humare bichme kisne isko gussaya HEI, NOT FAIR, Hena Beta,?
It takes few select Gujaratis to lit a spark and non Gujaratis to make it a leading light. All the institutions you mention are now populated and run by well deserving non Gujaratis; and Gujaratis respect them. Its their entrepreneurship that stops them being institutionalised and motivates to explore beyond visible horizons in physical and metamorphic sense. The new wave is coming from Andhra.
Question everything! That is the real Hinduism. Read any scripture from Bhagwat Geeta to Upanishads or Vedas. They are full of just questions and answers. Can't you see that Arjun kept asking for seven chapters even after seeing the Virat form of Krishna as God himself. It is our culture to ask questions even if God himself is in front of us. But still some people feel offended that why is Supreme court is asking questions! Are they above God?
I agree with you about the true nature of Hinduism. But the RSS brand of Hindutva has nothing to do with Hinduism. It is in fact closer to Islam in its aggression, hatred, superiority. They hate Islam but seem to admireand inculcate the most extreme aspects of it.
Recently when in north india their was a bandh announced by manuvadis against reservations they found themselves isolated as the obc’s didn’t participate hence soon thereafter hindu- muslim sporadic riots were orchestrated all over the north to cement the wedge between the oppressing castes and the oppressed castes hindus by positioning the muslims as a common enemy as is always done by these manuwadis …
I didn't like Mallika Ji as a person listening to this. Her views on some issues I agree but many of the things I disagree. But listening to this, I didn't like her. That's my opinion.
Haha Hmm yeah. I was hoping Manisha would ask her about that. About how she sees her own privilege in terms of caste and how she sees the idea of people being 'voiceless', when actually voicelessness is not some sort of a coincidence.
A good interview. I liked this better than the statue of unity episode. Manisha is good with organised interviews with personalities than informal chats with the Gen public like tribals or students. Manisha's interviews with the TV9 CEO, Barkha dutt and Mallika Sarabhai had good and varied questions.
1984-85 gujarat riots were orchestrated by the manuwadi hindus when they saw that their anti reservations stir wasn’t getting any traction from other hindus and so they diverted their angst against muslims.
You are right... the riots started as anti-reservation riots. It was Dalits vs Patels in the old city around Saraspur. And some Muslims were hurt in that stone throwing and then it became communal.
I watched an interview by a person associated with BJP state that there was no way for muslims to know that karsevaks were in the train. The only people who knew, were their own people. Also the fire was lit from inside the train. So there is some question on the cause of the riots and connection to muslims. The whole thing was orchestrated. I wonder who did it?
BJP was about to lost before the riots and after the 27 yrs of riots, BJP is undefeated. Everybody knows the answer but don't want to talk about it. I hope 2024 election se pahele boarder pe koi kaand na hojaye.
She didn't see casteism when she was growing up, but she can see it now. Direct conclusion, society has changed into a casteist society. I am surprised by some of the superficial conclusions she is making.
Agreed what Mallikaji expressed about Amdawad before 80s, b4 2002 rather 1992 onwards being a 50plus age woman. We lost most beautiful rational spirit to explore multidimensional society inhabitated the city.
we did? so ur saying Gujrat before 2002 was this perfect state which no gujrati left? She claims after 2002 every second gujrati wants to leave to USA UK, That means before 2002 no Gujrati went to USA UK? WOW. Such a rational botoxed queen she is
Felt the bitterness in Mallika. Someone who I have greatly admired and had a crush on for the longest time. May the universe heal her and give her peace.
Seems like one of those sweet fairy tale- ish anecdote based 'good ol' days' fantasy sorta sugary narrative 😀. A cushy privileged life led in those times when privilege' , 'contacts' , 'connections" mattered like no where else for prospering in India. That colours one"s outlook like congenital disease.
The real backbone of India lies with regional political parties and the national parties do horse riding. Sons of the soil is working ever since independence and the national parties cannot survive without Regional parties.

@@Trollika_Devi yeah ironic she comes from an upper caste botoxed family and she is sitting there with makeup on talking about dalits, Ironic much
@@Trollika_Devi No, Khaandani is from a reputed family. Nothing to do with casteism.
@@heeralohia9021 It actually does. Reputation isn't accidental. Most often it's tied to caste privilege and the financial or social upkeep that's aided by it. I come from a family that's supposed to be 'khaadani' (well before things went downhill anyway) and I've seen how that generates a kind of currency in society that people actually don't deserve. I've seen people treat my mother differently when they come to know whose granddaughter she is ,when actually she deserves a lot more respect for the struggles she's had as an individual . That her grandfather was who he was had a lot to do with the privilege he was born into. He was a great man for sure but if he hadn't received the upbringing he got or the education he got things would have been different . Yunhi nahi hote :) That's what I was getting at.
Intellectual as well as logical conversation and interview....
Wonderful interview 👏
She is savage 😀 loved the interview
what was savage? do entire families commit suicide?
@@indipacifician3693 Savage is a colloquial term which says her response some times made the interviewer silent.
Basically meaning she took the interview fearlessly and was not aligned to what the interviewer or the viewers thought of her
@@Not_so_whimsical . giving an interview full of pessimistic and irrational outlook towards societies is not fearless. 99.99 PERCENT of her interview was based on conjectures, assumptions and not on facts. Do you think dentists and gynecologists in 2002 went to loot shops? does she have evidence for it if not for her botoxed mouth?
@@indipacifician3693 Am explaining what is savage, I also find other side of the spectrum also savage commentators. Loving an interview cannot be because a person is supporting the person, the nuances need to be followed.
For me be it right wing/left wing ideology both are equally respected and both have their set of views.
Very eye opening. Gujarat always baffled me in many aspects, now I have some idea of what's actually up with the state at a societal level
Vikram and Mrinalini Sarabhai would be so proud of their parenting...
Beautiful discuss !
India need a system like European Union so that Regional aspiration are attempted. Many developed countries are smaller than a state in India. The lifestyle in those countries are enviable..
Yeah and they are built on stolen wealth mostly. Not by their sheer hard work or anything... many east European countries are very poor.
So you’re part of tukde tukde gang 😏
@@archiem654Not true, places like Hungary didn't have colonies but it still has better living standards. The main issue is the median IQ of the people because only high IQ enables the science and technology needed to support First World lifestyles. Indian median IQ is similar to that of Africans, so can't expect India to be a First World country.
@@cg8397 other factors like same language, same religion are also responsible there because it's easier to manage people who have similar aspirations culturally and otherwise.
Thanks
She is good for interview. But why did you interview Anar Patel- she did pure bjp propaganda and you didn't cross question her. Not expected from news laundry.
Not as per your Interests? Take some burnol, will calm u down!!
You're here writing what you feel,
Why can't she express what she feels?
Yes, you are right. I realise that also after listening to this interview.
Beti Dekho aisa HEI, this lady has Zero class in front of Anar Patel, who has done amazing society hard work instead of finding Fake Jutta narrative just because Ek chaiwala kese Gus Gaya humare bichme kisne isko gussaya HEI, NOT FAIR, Hena Beta,?
Gujarat mein rehna hai to sab sun na padega.
Wonderful interview!
Sadly, people of Gujarat have forgotten IIM, NID, ISRO, IMA, ATIRA, IPR etc and remember only RiverFront now.
It takes few select Gujaratis to lit a spark and non Gujaratis to make it a leading light. All the institutions you mention are now populated and run by well deserving non Gujaratis; and Gujaratis respect them. Its their entrepreneurship that stops them being institutionalised and motivates to explore beyond visible horizons in physical and metamorphic sense. The new wave is coming from Andhra.
Lovely interview. There should be more of these.
Loved this
Excellent interview
So clear and articulate 👏
Wow all respect to the graceful lady Mallika sarabhai.n manisha fr grt insights ❤❤❤❤
Question everything! That is the real Hinduism. Read any scripture from Bhagwat Geeta to Upanishads or Vedas. They are full of just questions and answers. Can't you see that Arjun kept asking for seven chapters even after seeing the Virat form of Krishna as God himself. It is our culture to ask questions even if God himself is in front of us. But still some people feel offended that why is Supreme court is asking questions! Are they above God?
I agree with you about the true nature of Hinduism. But the RSS brand of Hindutva has nothing to do with Hinduism. It is in fact closer to Islam in its aggression, hatred, superiority. They hate Islam but seem to admireand inculcate the most extreme aspects of it.
Recently when in north india their was a bandh announced by manuvadis against reservations they found themselves isolated as the obc’s didn’t participate hence soon thereafter hindu- muslim sporadic riots were orchestrated all over the north to cement the wedge between the oppressing castes and the oppressed castes hindus by positioning the muslims as a common enemy as is always done by these manuwadis …
Who are manuvadis?
Top class intervier, interviwee and Interview
Very good interview
Amazing personality ..... other politicians should learn from her
But she is not a politician
@@71espn once she was :P
Delhi Darbar can't rule India at one stroke. Multi cultural heritage will not go with national parties any more
I didn't like Mallika Ji as a person listening to this. Her views on some issues I agree but many of the things I disagree. But listening to this, I didn't like her.
That's my opinion.
To deny casteism speaks tonnes about one’s privilege!
Haha Hmm yeah. I was hoping Manisha would ask her about that. About how she sees her own privilege in terms of caste and how she sees the idea of people being 'voiceless', when actually voicelessness is not some sort of a coincidence.
One hell of intelligent comment!!!!!
@@0rhythm_divine0 ♥️🙌🏽
An inspiration!!!
A good interview. I liked this better than the statue of unity episode.
Manisha is good with organised interviews with personalities than informal chats with the Gen public like tribals or students.
Manisha's interviews with the TV9 CEO, Barkha dutt and Mallika Sarabhai had good and varied questions.
1984-85 gujarat riots were orchestrated by the manuwadi hindus when they saw that their anti reservations stir wasn’t getting any traction from other hindus and so they diverted their angst against muslims.
Who are manuwadi Hindus?
@@imonsarker3766 : casteist hindus especially bania n bammans
You are right... the riots started as anti-reservation riots. It was Dalits vs Patels in the old city around Saraspur. And some Muslims were hurt in that stone throwing and then it became communal.
I watched an interview by a person associated with BJP state that there was no way for muslims to know that karsevaks were in the train. The only people who knew, were their own people. Also the fire was lit from inside the train. So there is some question on the cause of the riots and connection to muslims.
The whole thing was orchestrated. I wonder who did it?
same assertion was made by Shankar singh vaghela, ex bjp chief minister
BJP was about to lost before the riots and after the 27 yrs of riots, BJP is undefeated. Everybody knows the answer but don't want to talk about it. I hope 2024 election se pahele boarder pe koi kaand na hojaye.
She didn't see casteism when she was growing up, but she can see it now. Direct conclusion, society has changed into a casteist society. I am surprised by some of the superficial conclusions she is making.
Agreed what Mallikaji expressed about Amdawad before 80s, b4 2002 rather 1992 onwards being a 50plus age woman. We lost most beautiful rational spirit to explore multidimensional society inhabitated the city.
we did? so ur saying Gujrat before 2002 was this perfect state which no gujrati left? She claims after 2002 every second gujrati wants to leave to USA UK, That means before 2002 no Gujrati went to USA UK? WOW. Such a rational botoxed queen she is
Felt the bitterness in Mallika. Someone who I have greatly admired and had a crush on for the longest time. May the universe heal her and give her peace.
Seems like one of those sweet fairy tale- ish anecdote based 'good ol' days' fantasy sorta sugary narrative 😀. A cushy privileged life led in those times when privilege' , 'contacts' , 'connections" mattered like no where else for prospering in India. That colours one"s outlook like congenital disease.
When are you going to put interview of Surat
Frank and bold!
Two Privileged Upper Caste people discussing Gujarat!
Jaise lower caste waalon ne to UP Bihar ko swarg bana diya tha. Stop dividing ppl on caste, religion, gender etc etc

The real backbone of India lies with regional political parties and the national parties do horse riding. Sons of the soil is working ever since independence and the national parties cannot survive without Regional parties.
