    Javed Akhtar Saheb, you have taught Karan Thapar a lesson which he was lacking with respect to UCC. He was trying to put word in your mouth but you made him fall in line with you with your excellent and lucid details. Thank you so much, Javed Akhtar.

      Didn't say a word when:
      1. Palestine was recognised but not israel. India is a secular country and not Islamic country where muslims will decide whom to choose.
      2. Shah Bano case
      3. When asi found first evidence in 90's that there was indeed evidence of idols at Ram janambhoomi, he knew about it but leftists/liberals wanted to play politics kept muslims in dark. U can refer kk Mohammad speech. Romila thapad is a biased historian. An rti revels she doesn't even know Sanskrit 😂and has no knowledge about archeology.
      5. He knows very well that congress uses maulvis for votes. Yet keeps mum. Basically congress has to prove that Muslims r oppressed in order to get muslim votes. It's better muslims should vote for owaisi. Atleast he cares about muslims and isn't a dogla like congress.
      Big talks about reformation of muslim community by nasaruddin shah, Javed akhtar types with no roadmap.

From all his previous content it is quite evident from the way he reinforces his guest's statements which are even slightly in line with his agenda and discards anything which is not in line with his own agenda...that's NOT good journalism

    I don't know much about his past or his political inclination in the 70s but but in the last 10-15 years, he's become someone I always want to listen to. Most of the time, I find myself agreeing with him.
    I also used to support Vinod Dua, whom I still love, he is in the same league as him. Sadly, we lost him to Covid. I hope Javed Akhtar stays with us for many more years, maybe even another 20-30. Bless him !!

    One of the reasons why we are in all kinds of trouble is because the major part of the country is uneducated or poorly educated. We need more highly educated people and experts to raise the standards of the country.

      Education and indoctrination are two absolutely separate things. Sati used to happen to the most educated class.

      Education 🎓 is the production of human resources.
      It is important to build it up AND make it easier to use for productive tasks.

      ​​@@rskolkata Sati was kind of hard to stop, because it seemed to be the women doing it, and Indian values don't have anything strongly against suicide.
      The British only removed the most painful methods of death like fire and being buried alive. Mostly because the British running the place didn't really care about suicide either.
      All the reports I had heard about it only mention suicide, expect obviously propaganda ones.

    Javed Akhtar is the voice of a sound Thinking and Rational mind.. Such clarity of thought in his statements.. This I believe is the natural tendency of the majority of Indians though many do not voice it as articulately !! Let’s have the draft first and debate it!

    Javed Akhtar has quashed all the efforts of interviewer to lead him in one particular direction!! He is fair and has openness of mind and thus answered freely. 7 months later , UCC draft came and actually became a law in Uttarakhand !!
