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.
