Puliyabaazi Hindi Podcast

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a much loved and adored Prime Minister. As a politician who was also a poet and a great orator, he is often seen as a moderate or even liberal leader. But his legacy is more complicated than meets the eye. He often straddled uncomfortably between secular India and its sectarian polity. Today, Vajpayee’s biographer Abhishek Choudhary joins us on Puliyabaazi to discuss the many facets of his life and his politics. अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी एक लोकप्रिय राजनेता होने के साथ-साथ एक कवि और बेहतरीन वक्ता भी थे, और उन्हें अक्सर एक उदारवादी प्रधानमंत्री के रूप में देखा जाता है। लेकिन उनकी विरासत जितनी दिखती है, उससे कहीं ज़्यादा जटिल है। वे अक्सर धर्मनिरपेक्ष भारत और उसकी संकीर्ण राजनीति के बीच असहजता से जूझते रहे। आज, पुलियाबाज़ी में हमारे साथ जुड़ रहे हैं वाजपेयी के जीवनीकार अभिषेक चौधरी जिन्होंने उनके जीवन और उनकी राजनीति का बारीकी से अध्यन किया है। तो आइये, आप भी शामिल हो जाइये इस ज़बरदस्त चर्चा में। We discuss: * The Legacy of Vajpayee * Approach for the Biography * Researching for the book * The Confusing 80s * Evolution or Doublespeak? * Prime Ministership * Parallels between Vajpayee and Modi * Policies during Vajpayee years * Personal Life Also, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.

High price of land in India has made housing unaffordable for a majority of urban Indians, who have no option but to live in congested slums or unauthorized housing. While this is a burning issue for the public, it hasn’t received enough policy attention. What can be a long term solution to provide good, legal and affordable housing to more Indians? This is our second episode with independent economist Prof. Gurbachan Singh on the issue of housing crisis in India. Prof. Singh has previously taught at many esteemed institutions such as Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and Ashoka University. He applies a macro-economics approach to dissect this issue from multiple dimensions. We discuss: * What is Unauthorised Housing * The need for an enabling policy * Land readjustment in existing cities * 100 new cities * Marketing to attract new networks * Market malfunctioning due to faulty policy * Politician and Developer Nexus * Pillars of a policy framework * Vested interest of land-holders * Redevelopment of Dharavi Our previous conversation with Prof. Gurbachan Singh: Why is land so costly in India? ज़मीन के दाम की ज़मीनी हकीकत Also, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.

नमस्ते, पुलियाबाज़ी में आज हम एक हटके विषय पर चर्चा करेंगे—युद्ध में हाथियों का प्रयोग। यह विषय हमें काफी इंटरेस्टिंग लगा, तो हमने सोचा कि क्यों न इस पर आदित्य रामनाथन से बात की जाए। आदित्य तक्षशिला इंस्टीटूशन के साथ एसोसिएट फैलो हैं और मिलिटरी हिस्ट्री में गहरी दिलचस्पी रखते हैं। इस पुलियाबाज़ी पर चर्चा इतिहास के उस दौर की जब भारत एक ‘आर्म्स एक्सपोर्टर’ हुआ करता था। भारत के हाथी और उनको काबू में करने वाले महाउत दुनियाभर में मशहूर थे। समय के साथ टेक्नोलॉजी में आये बदलाव से युद्ध का रूप भी बदल गया। क्या इस बदलाव में भारत कहीं पीछे छूट गया? इतिहास से हम क्या सीख ले सकते हैं? अगर आपको हिस्ट्री और मिलिटरी हिस्ट्री में दिलचस्पी है, तो आपको यह पुलियाबाज़ी ज़रूर पसंद आएगी। We discuss: * Was India an arms exporter in the ancient world? * How were elephants used in a war? * Where did war elephants come from? * What do we know about elephants in ancient India? * Were elephants an obsolete platform? * Was there a political purpose of elephants * Defence against elephants * When were elephants phased out? * Recommendations Also, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.

पिछले कुछ दिनों से भारत और पाकिस्तान के बीच हो रहे टकराव को आप सभी ने देखा ही होगा। इससे जुड़ी खबरें और अफवाहों से भी हम सभी वाकिफ हैं। ऐसे माहौल में क्यों न इस विषय को थोड़ी शांति से और अकादमिक दृष्टिकोण से देखा जाए? आज हमारे साथ पुलियाबाज़ी पर जुड़ रहे हैं अतुल मिश्रा, जो शिव नादर इंस्टिट्यूट ऑफ एमिनेंस में इंटरनैशनल रिलेशन्स के प्रोफेसर हैं। उनकी किताब भारत और पाकिस्तान के रिश्तों को पार्टिशन और संप्रभुता के नज़रिये से समझने की कोशिश करती है। यह हमारे लिए तो बहुत ही दिलचस्प चर्चा रही और एक अलग ही दृष्टिकोण से हमने भारत और पाकिस्तान के रिश्तों को समझा। तो आज की चर्चा जरूर सुनिए। We discuss: * A framework to understand international relations in South Asia * Understanding the current India-Pak conflict from the framework of partition * What is Sovereignty? * How did minority politics emerge in India? * The internationalisation of Hindu-Muslim community relations * Was partition inevitable? * Alternatives to partition * The process of minoritization post independence * The Theory of Hostage Minorities * Nehru’s Discovery of India * Territorial aspect of Sovereignty Also, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.

The speech was made at Kanpur on 30 March 1941. Source: Jinnah His Successes, Failures and Role in History by Ishtiaq Ahmed One correction: John Stuart Mill makes his argument that India is unfit for self-governance in his book Considerations on Representative Government (1961). Khyati incorrectly mentions it as the 1880s. In the 1880s, Mill’s argument was used by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan to oppose devolution of British power to Indians.

एक गणतंत्र में संविधान के ज़रिये सरकार की शक्ति पर रोक लगायी जाती है, पर भारत में हम देखते हैं कि अक्सर होता इससे ठीक उल्टा है। सरकार ही भारतीय नागरिकों पर इतनी रोक लगाती है कि पूछो ही मत। और हम नागरिकों को भी इसकी इतनी आदत पड़ चुकी है कि हम पूछते भी नहीं कि ये नियम हम पर क्यों लगाए जा रहे हैं। प्रणय ने तो बेकार नियमों के इस जाल को सरकार का चंगुल कहा है। खैर, अच्छी बात ये है कि अब सरकार ने भी इस चंगुल को पहचाना है और इसके लिए डिरेगुलेशन कमिशन की घोषणा भी हुई है, पर ये डिरेगुलेशन कैसा होना चाहिए? या प्रणय के शब्दों में कहे तो इस चंगुलतोड़ का क्या फ्रेमवर्क होना चाहिए? इसी पर होगी आज की चर्चा। We discuss: * Reducing Government Control * Why do we have so much regulation? * There are no limits on regulation * Govt should have to present a deregulation statement to the Legislative * Steering function should be separated from Rowing function * Open up service delivery to private players * Cost-benefit analysis before introducing new restrictions * Why do Indian firms remain small? * How to deregulate Firms? * How to deregulate our Cities? * Deregulating human capital Also, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.

The story of the Indian National Movement is often told from the accounts of great leaders like Gandhi, Nehru or Patel. However, India’s freedom struggle was a great cause that had attracted many young and bright minds of India at the time—Sarojini Naidu, Asaf Ali, Syed Hossain, and friends. The shared cause built many friendships—some survived the test of time, some did not; but their personal exchanges draw a vivid picture of the freedom struggle. इतिहास अक्सर राजा या बड़े नेताओं के नज़रिये से लिखा जाता है। लेकिन आज का एपिसोड नायकों की कहानी नहीं, बल्कि सह-नायकों की कहानी पर आधारित है। ये ऐसे लोग हैं जो भारत की आजादी की लड़ाई में मुख्य नेता नहीं थें, पर वे अपने आप में महत्वपूर्ण किरदार ज़रूर थें। हमारे मेहमान एम्बेसडर टी.सी.ए. राघवन जी अपनी किताब Circles of Freedom में इन सहनायकों की बातचीत और दोस्ती के ज़रिये 1913 से 1947 के समय पर कुछ प्रकाश डालते हैं। एम्बेसडर टी.सी.ए. राघवन सिंगापुर और पाकिस्तान में भारत के हाई कमिश्नर रह चुके हैं । पुलियाबाज़ी पर आजादी की राह सीरीज़ पर हम उन्नीसवीं सदी की शुरुआत से लेकर भारत की आजादी तक के भारत को समझने की कोशिश करते हैं। आज की पुलियाबाज़ी इस सीरीज में एक और कड़ी है। We discuss: * Introducing the circle of friends * Sarojini, the Boss-woman * Asaf Ali and friends’ thoughts on Nationalism * The importance of Khilafat movement for elite muslims * Mass movements and communal tensions * Moderates to Radicals * Was separate electorate the original sin? * What did the friends think about a separate nation? * Opposing ideas of the national movement * Ideas about Pakistan * The impact of partition * Aruna and Asaf Ali’s marriage Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.

25 नवंबर 1949 के दिन डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकर ने संविधान सभा में अपना आखिरी भाषण दिया था। ये भाषण ‘Grammar of Anarchy’ या ‘अराजकता का व्याकरण’ के नाम से जाना जाता है। संविधान का निर्माण हो चूका था, लेकिन राष्ट्र निर्माण का काम अभी बाकी था। क्या इस भगीरथ कार्य के लिए भारत का संविधान सही ढांचा प्रदान कर पायेगा? ड्राफ्टिंग कमिटी के चेयरमैन होने के नाते बाबासाहेब के मन में कई चिंताएं थीं जिन्हें वो इस भाषण में व्यक्त करते हैं, लेकिन साथ ही वे आनेवाली पीढ़ी को संवैधानिक रास्ता भी दिखाते हैं। आइये इस महीने आंबेडकर जयंती के अवसर पर, बाबासाहेब के इस भाषण के ज़रिये उनके विचारों को सुनते और समझते हैं। Read more: Read the Original Speech Transcripts here: https://www.constitutionofindia.net/debates/25-nov-1949/ Read the Hindi Translation: https://www.puliyabaazi.in/p/724 Please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.
