    रजत जी तब मैं भी University College Kurukshetra में पढ़ता था और तब जे पी आंदोलन के दौर में, जे पी जी कुरुक्षेत्र से ट्रेन से निकल रहे थे और हम हमारे University President की अगुवाई में उनको मिलने Station पहुंचे थे। फिर जेटली जी जब एक बड़े student leader establish हो गए थे और 1978 के आसपास Law College Kurukshetra में ABVP candidate के लिए भाषण देने पहुंचे थे और मैंने वो भाषण सुना था। सचमुच उनका भाषण बहुत जोशीला था।

    The most inspiring podcast. I was in 5th standard when Emergency was declared and had started reading newspapers and following the JO movement and MISA etc. This left a great impression on my mind. Indira Gandhi and her son became villains of my life until they died. Only Rajeev changed our heart later in life.

    I was always skipping this episode, but suddenly happened to watch this today. I can confidently say that this is one of the best episodes in this podcast. I haven't seen all, so I am mentioning that this is one of the best. But for me this is the best I have watched so far. I might have watched at least 40+ episodes. But, this is the best among all. I had little annoyed with Rajat Ji, but today I came to know that he is definitely a person to admire and an inspiration for all. Good job Smita ma'am.

    रजत शर्मा जी को सुनके लगा के जैसे वो मेरे सामने बात कर रहे हैं!
    उनके बोलने का अंदाज़ बिल्कुल साफ़ और किसी भी प्रकार का कोई दिखावा भी नहीं और सच बोलने का डर भी नही!
    रजत जी जब अपने अनुभवों के बारे में बता रहे थे तो लगा जैसे उनकी कहानी मे पूरा ५० साल पहले का भारत घूम लिया!
    ढेर सारा ज्ञान भी मिला! गुरु

    Absolutely enthralled by this exceptional interview! Massive shoutout to ANI and Smita Prakash Ji for orchestrating such an insightful session and sharing a full 3-hour dive with us. I was blissfully unaware of Rajat Ji's influential connections across various political spectrums until now. This piece not only serves as an eye-opener regarding the turbulent times during the emergency but also underscores a powerful message - when you stand firm in your beliefs and aim with clarity, the sky's the limit. A true testament to resilience and the indomitable spirit of pursuing one's goals, regardless of the challenges that come your way.

    What a man, What a magnificent journey. From not having food on the table in earlier days to running India's one of the leading news channels. His views on Media freedom were quite fascinating to me, i have only heard about the dictatorship-kind behavior of the current government, but he opened up a whole new kind of idea, and my take towards all these allegations has changed. He has been in the industry for a very long period and his views are very appropriate I feel. His experience is teaching a lot of things to all youngsters like me, I am also an aspiring journalist, learned a lot from him.
    Thank you @ANI News for this podcast, and special thanks to Smita Ma'am for asking quality questions.
    And lastly @Rajat Sharma Sir you are an inspiration to me, thank you for unfolding deep insights about the world of journalism, Best wishes to you sir.

    😢I can completely relate to Rajat Sharma's poverty but I am 20 years younger growing up in similar circumstances in Bangalore. I could relate myself to VS Naipaul's "An area of Darkness". Such was the destitution that British landed us in, after a long spell of loot by British with impunity, which was unfortunately perpetrated by Nehruvian Socialism.
    I could see Rajatji resisting tears in the beginning, I have my eyes wet now.

On the advice of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed proclaimed a state of national emergency on 25 June 1975 .. hats off to Rajat Sharma

    By far one of the best episodes of 2024. Rajat Sharma ji is a Platinum mine. His experiences / learnings and his ethics are at a different level and definitely is a benchmark for all journalists . His experiences should be taught to aspiring journalists in mass communication courses. Lastly to the journalist cronies of Congress / CPM / TMC / SP etc., pull up your socks atleast now and start reporting facts of the national welfare schemes / laws instead of spreading rumors.

    I was a third year student in delhi university in 1977 when rajat sharma was general secretary of DUSU. At that point of time we always thought that these DUSU leaders are all rich brats belonging to financially strong background but realised now after watching this podcast the real background of Rajat. Though always admired him for his show aap ki adalat and was always impressed with the way he had the comfort of asking tough questions to all bigwigs with so much of comfort and still maintain good relations with all of them. After watching this podcast have realised that GOD has made a path for every individual and events happen in life based on such path though hard work and effort have their own place to get the rewards. Very inspiring interview and thanks to smita for making a choice to invite rajat and also thanks to rajat for sharing his life journey so honestly. Pray to GOD to bring back those times of DELHI UNIVERSITY back so that we can get a chance to experience the leadership of such persons like rajat.

    Modiji has indeed taken the bar to another level- his comments towards the end about Modiji are so so so true .. biggest problem of our certain sections (who are also corrupt and devious) is to create news fear with promoting lies in public and creating fear about erosion of institutions under 3rd term of BJP etc etc
    However our public is not stupid they can now SEE and feel for themselves the real positive changes under Modiji which never ever happened under the previous governments to this extent and it s clearly evidenced by the data and numbers achieved under Modiji in last 10 years .. salute you Smota and Rajatji for this amazing session … watching this from Australia

    Really true and nice interview with Mr. Rajath Sharma. I am senior citizen of 68 years old and I am a regular viewer of the program Aap Ki Adalath.
    But I never knew he too had struggled a lot in his personal life like me. Because I lost my father at the age of eight years old and my mother brought up all of us i.e four children me being the eldest.
    I had to leave Bangalore for the sake of getting an apprenticeship training in the Kirloskar group of companies in Harihar in year 1974. From then on I struggled a lot to come up in life. I returned to Bangalore and joined a German engineering firm which encouraged me to learn German language. Then on I didn't look back in my career even today still my profession is in demand. In fact last year I worked for one of the prestigious project of Saudi Aramco with the best remuneration package. I am not a qualified engineer from any university. But still I am in the job market till date.
    But after hearing the above interview I was just taken back compared to Rajath Sharma. Thank you very much for the interview program and convey all my wishes to him when you feel free. My name is Subba Rao Sathyanarayana from Bangalore.
