For the 200th episode of Puliyabaazi, we discuss the state of India’s democracy with one of the most prominent public intellectuals of our times, Pratap Bhanu Mehta. Is India truly an outlier? What are the root causes of the political and social changes we are witnessing today? How do we look at the issue of the Uniform Civil Code? We discussed many such questions that puzzle us with Dr. Mehta in this thought-provoking Puliyabaazi. Do listen in and share your thoughts and comments with us.
इस हफ़्ते, एक ख़ास पुलियाबाज़ी हमारे समय के एक प्रमुख बुद्धिजीवी प्रताप भानु मेहता जी के साथ। क्या भारत वास्तव में एक अपवाद है? आज हम जो राजनीतिक और सामाजिक परिवर्तन देख रहे हैं, उनके मूल कारण क्या है? UCC के मुद्दे को किस तरह से देखा जाए? ऐसे कई उलझनों से भरे सवालों पर कुछ बातें आज की पुलियाबाज़ी में। सुनियेगा ज़रूर।
