- Modi is "an unashamed showman" with "a frog in a well" attitude to the world, who considers Muslims "outsiders"; his speeches appeal "at the lowest common denominator": Sunanda Datta-Ray, former Editor, The Statesman
...........................................
In an interview to discuss and analyze the often bizarre and inexplicable things said by Prime Minister Modi in his election speeches, Sunanda K. Datta-Ray, a former Editor of The Statesman, has said Modi is “an unashamed showman … a great actor” who makes “dramatic statements for the moment”. He said the Prime Minister’s response to Sam Pitroda’s claim that south Indians resemble Africans - which the Prime Minister called a badi gaali - suggests “a frog in a well” attitude to the outside world. He said the Prime Minister looks upon Muslims as “outsiders, not belonging to India, not bhumiputras”. Mr. Datta-Ray said the Prime Minister’s speeches are “appealing to voters at the lowest common denominator”. He said they are “an unabashed appeal to gut instinct”. At another point he said the Prime Minister is “pandering to the instinct of the majority of Indians who are Hindus”.
Asked by The Wire in a 23-minute interview whether he has ever heard earlier prime ministers make speeches attacking Muslims, casting aspersions on top industrialists by name and objecting to being
considered similar to Africans, Mr. Datta-Ray replied with a blunt “no”, agreeing this was “a low point”.
Mr. Datta-Ray also said honour demands that Adani and Ambani should take legal action against the Prime Minister for claiming they are in possession of and purveyors of black money and chori ka maal. “It is for them to take action against the PM legally in the courts”.
I am only giving you the main big points made by Mr. Datta-Ray. There is a substantial discussion of Mr. Modi’s claim that Adani and Ambani have sent tempo-loads of black money and chori ka maal to Rahul Gandhi and the Congress Party. There’s also a discussion of Mr. Modi’s claim that Congress wants to decide the membership of the Indian cricket team on the basis of religion.
Similarly, there’s a discussion about Mr. Modi’s reference to Indian Muslims as people “who have more children” and “infiltrators” as well as his claim that reservations meant for SCs, STs and OBCs will be snatched and given to Muslims.
I will leave you to see all of that from the interview itself.

Super interview !!! Mr Ray sounds so categorical in his observations and opinions. Bravo 👍 Save INDIA 💪
This time for Save our country... save the idea INDIA. vote for INDIA alliance. Vote for educated person .
Definitely Sir 💯
Country is being saved by Modi from mulla party called KHANgress. Jeetegato BJP PM banegato MODIJI.
Vote for smart not Pappu
@@nirmalbhel3231 Actually Modi is the real pappu. He never answer for opposition's question, never come to press meet . Only shouting man ki bat.
MONKEY BAT😂😂😂
"Unashamed showman " truly Said
Shameless, to be precise
@@jami6600 Thank you for that excellent reply. Modi showed it when he was in Washington with Nirmala Sitharam. Modi told the lackey who was promptly doing his job taking the bouquets from him, to stay out of the camera so that he had a full frontal view and Nirmala S. smiled nervously
India was in fragile 5 economy during Cong led UPA... Modi took that India in 2014 and see now. INDIA will not forget that
Don’t forget the 82 crore food subsidy beneficiaries
@@jami6600 No subsidies or freebies, these will make people lazy. Both BJP & Cong are wrong
🙏🙏🙏 Dr Sunanda Datta Roy for speaking the truth Frog in Well
I am glad to see this interview with Mr Sunanda K. Datta-Ray. a most distinguished journalist and a widely read and highly educated gentleman. I have deep respect for him. When he was the Editor of the Statesman and a small article of mine was published there, he took time out from his busy schedule to send me a note of appreciation on the article - a note which I preserve carefully and treasure. May God grant him long life and the best of health, physical and mental.
What a lovely warm comment instead of the constant hate and nasty poison spewed every minute. Thanks
Unashamed showman is right word for Modi. Thank you Mr karan for Mr Ray
Yeah, but successful because of his Corporate friends who arranged for fans around him and an IT wing to work 24x7 to create popularity.
What about the unashamed public?
Nice to see Mr. Sunanda Duttaroy. Heartening to see him in good health. As a college going boy I regularly read his writings in The Statesman.

@@nirmalbhel3231 Typical andhabhakt. Prior to 2014 were all NRIs' who are doing well for themselves were studying in RSS institutions? The country's premier institutes were all established since Independence by earlier governments. Who can forget the number of disasters he heaped on the country by his knee-jerk, ill-conceived policies of Demonetization, sudden lock-down leading to a number of avoidable deaths, hasty implementation of GST to cover up for earlier mistakes and making things more worse.
Excellent Guest and thoroughly articulated. Little wonder he is the Ex Editor of The Statesman an objective rather than a subjective Journalist/Editor.
We the people of India - Agree 👍
Agree what.That Modi will be PM for a 3rd term ?😅😅😅. Yes he will be back with a bang. Save ur tears for 4th June.
He is already 74 , how long will he last

@@seenajoseph2164 no, if you can scold pm of this country and for that your will not facing any consequence that means pm of this country is not dictator
@@sujityadav8971 Haha. That itself shows your slavish mentality and desperation to justify a dictator.He is definitely reaching to that road. And if he is elected again, we will get to see many brutal things.Do you think that he WILL arrest a person of his age and stature at this time? Also Modi is not going to achieve anything by arresting him as he did to Sanjiv Bhat who has access to many ‘secrets’ that can put the PM in jail.
With the closure of electoral bond, BJP lost the weapon of minting money. Now perhaps Ambani Adani are not giving as much amount they need
😂
Well spoken sir.
BJP has wasted the mandate of 2014 and 2019 due to hero worshiping Modi. BJP is no longer BJP, but a Modi-Shah Party.
India needs MODI-SHAH. Next in line is YOGIJI. Be prepared for it.
@@SrinivasRao-vd4ki India needs working youth, we need those who care not steal with PM Cares
That happens to every leader who only looks to his reelection and wants to hang on to his chair.

@@JayanthFazaluddinYash bhai .half Hindu n half Muslim name .whom you are cheating
I first thought BJP was interpreting Indian History, now I am seeing that they don't have knowledge of history, geography and even science.
No sir, they want to rewrite history and destroy all evidence in history that is factually against the RSS.
Bjp knows indian history better than anyone that's why they are protecting our culture and promote our culture look at Europe they totally forgot about their culture and because illegal migrants wants to promote their culture in Europe and lots of European leaders already said multiculturalism totally failed in Europe
Lo agaya maha gnani aur ek Pitroda😅😅😅
African 😂 sam pitroda told about you.
He (PM) plays to the Gallery
Is Africa a gali as our Prime Minister spoke in his speech?
The congress pariwar is a big fool as most of Indians that iscwhy we find our position so pathetic
Modis resignation is never sought by this so noble congress pariwar
Pitroda's message was not bad... however, how you will feel if someone tells you that you look like an African women? There are many hard truth... white skin, black skin etc. Michael Jackson changed his nose skin finally died due that
@@nirmalbhel3231fact check:1)MJ had severe burn injuries during a Pepsi ad.His nose had to be reconstructed.
2)MJ had vitiligo.He had black polka dots all over his face and body.He used bleach and make up to cover it.
USA is the nursery of False Propaganda.
Sam Pitroda's point was to stress on unity in diversity, RSS lot edits and spreads the portion they want to. It is the PM who felt that the dark skinned President should not attend Parliament and Ram mandir Inauguration, nor should attend the coronation of King Charles III, instead Dhankar was sent. RSS will uphold President whenever they want and dump her when no need.
@@userj5040 No one should give lose ball in election, other's will hit six. Modi is smart... Sam has done a lot for India. He is a tech guy not politician. Cong has wrong people in wrong location
Learnt English as a boy from his impeccable editorials and the from the exquisite quality which Statesman reflected. Never seen such a newspaper all my life. Feeling nostalgic of 70-80s Kolkata.
You are spot on. Listening to the Guest came to a similar conclusion. Thanks.
As a common man, I want job, I want a peaceful living, I want a decent future for Youth and next generation, I don't want to be humiliated based on my colour, creed , religion or caste. All I ask for is a basic necessity of food , shelter and clothing. If Mr. Modi if your government is a threat to even basic necessities and a threat to very foundation of our core values of secular democracy and unity and diversity, and if you can only speak about Hindu, Muslim hate speech , then voting for you Mr . Modi, does it make any sense. What if my colour is black or white all are same Mr. PM, you are the head of state of a great vibrant country, we don't expect such meaningless conversation from you
Growup, don't you know political parties n its leaders rulers of india n its people
Modi wanted to be emperors of emperors.
😅
Do not rant about unemployment. No govt can solve that problem.
U triple ur population 3 times in 50 years with such a large base of 50 crores and expect that govt can provide employment to all, what with fast paced computerisation and technological advancements which reduce job opportunities.
Regarding muslims, go and live in old areas of big cities like Hyderabad Delhi dominated by them, then u will come to know their way of thinking. Do you not know 26/11, who stone pelters are, who started anti CAA riots in Shaheenbagh, etc. Get urself educated about society.
Sadly Modi and his followers will not read your comments. Instead the hate spewing trolls like the second one will shred you to smithereens.
@@SrinivasRao-vd4kioh bhagt
Are rapists not contesting and winning elections in India?
Are the victims of rape not Indians? Or all victims Indian muslims? Your remark was strange unconcerned so my poser to you
For helping yr short cut in memory
The recent alleged 2086 rapes? To put you on proper track
Then HOW is CHINA IS PROGRESSING.INSPITE OF POPULATION.?
Mr. Ray is perfect in what he said about Sam Petruda's comment. It was not racist at all. In fact, Mr. Petruda was emphasizing and celebrating our diversity. Mr. Petruda's comment is beyond the mental capacity of an uneducated person to comprehend. In fact those who have all gone touchy when any similarity or comparison was made to Africans are actually being racist.
Agree totally !! 💯
Pitroda says north Indians look like Whites.
Is he accepted as a white by the Original whites in the west?
Yes Sir,
He has gathered army of well frogs and loves to communicate with them
Excellent words from Ray. Delightful to watch.
The PM has gone Mad.
Lost of mental balance is dangerous for a person at the helm of a country.
Mental insolvency is ground for disqualification

India was in fragile 5 economy during Cong led UPA... Modi took that India in 2014 and see now. INDIA will not forget that
The diction, enunciation and eloquence of both Mr Datta Ray and Mr Thapar makes this such a stimulating conversation:))
I think Congress waa wrong on this point to penalise Pitroda. Instead they should have brought out the inherent deep seated racism in Narendra Modi who for the same reason perhaps keeps our honourable President Draupadi Murmu out of all occasions.
I agree. Modi was the one who was actually being racist here. Sure, Pitroda could have chosen more appropriate words to convey his well intentioned ideas but Modi's take on those remarks are of a piece with his charge that the Congress didn't want to support Murmu's candidature for President because of her colour ! Never mind that he has done his best since then to sideline her and downplay her constitutional role !
@@philm3967 Even at the expense of Not inviting her to the inauguration of he temple. But think the Congress has decided to steer the path of not reacting to Modi because person attacks on Modi have cost Congress dearly.
should read personal not "person"
True!!
This show always stands upto expectations.
Very, interesting video and thanks go out to Mr. Karan Thapar for bringing out this video.And the reports given by Sunanda Datta Ray, Former Editor, The Statesman was Exemplary and he needs to be highly applauded

From day one since 2014, it was obvious that the nation made a wrong choice. It is only natural that your true inner self is revealed some day and we are seeing now. It is unfortunate that the entire northern belt has fallen victim to this deceit. The organization responsible is to be banned.
You said it bro
that's the case as we see it today. but never mind what s gone is gone .today is the day, we can replace him
And it's our responsibility
So let's do it.
Yep, rise up ye sons of nation 🇮🇳 unto your victory
March on ye sons of freedom, unto your destiny
To build a glorious kingdom, of peace and happiness
To strive and build a kingdom where dwelleth righteousness
Arise, awake ye millions, ye sons of Hindustan
Keep on the constant vigilance to guard the freedom won
Wage on a ceaseless battle O’er hunger and on greed
Truth’s splendour let bedazzle dark legions that surround
Silence the sabre’s rattle yet fight the foes around
God bless the Indian Union, Bless thou our motherland
Grant us the help to serve the million Of this ancient land
Thou Lord of all creation, we praise Thy Holy Name
Preserve us as Thy nation to serve Thee ever more
Throughout all generations, to serve Thee ever more.

Congress can campaign using the slogan ‘acche din aane wale hain’ because it’ll reflect poorly on bjp’s performance.
Looks like since day 1 of the founding of this nation, lack of brains on the part of the people has been the problem.
Looks like British rule was better than Modis rule.
India was on par and connected better to the rest of the world during British rule, there is more inequality between India and the world today than during British rule.
Absolute truth!👍
He was defined as an Event Manager long back. The person who did this was sidelined.
Thanks for that info. What a narcissist and dictator. Looked at his inauguration of the Ram Mandir with his outfits and his doing the high priest drama. Sick.
What the hell is the ECI doing
Please don't worry about the ED and CBI as they wag only when asked to ...The showman knows it fully and this is only for great effect ...to portray how he is far more honest than thou! And Adani , Ambani won't wag without clearance from the showman ...this is just to keep tongues wagging to leave the effect of how honest he is !
His tirades against Muslim citizens of this country shows his hatred driven dirty mind.
A fantastic discourse quite of the standard of and proportion to the distinction of your interviews. The English of Mr S K DATTA RAY is so fine and majestic.
Wishvagurus is Successful showman and is still India's PM,Hope india get a true man
Thanks
Even northern Indians aryans are migrated from persia
Modi in the last 10 years shown how incapable as PM , so cheap in his statements, not efficient, highly corrupt etc
Modi can be remenbered as one of the most stylish PM in the Indian history. Who changes six to seven outfits in a single day. Who also sports a sunglass worth more than rupees 1,30,000 when most of the poor Indians cannot even get to eat one Squar meal in a day. An extraordinary Prime minister India had ever had.
Very True words 🎉
Thank you very much Great interview and discussion!! Goodness will always win in the end. God bless you all abundantly always and God be with you all.
Ambani already refuted the allegation by PM. Perhaps it may be a ploy to draw voters attention as there are no cases like Phulwama or Balakot this time.
Modi's motto was to criticize Rahul without realizing that it will fire back.
Because MODI Thinks, he is only Intelligent Human Being in this Earth. Shameless Uneducated PM." Every Action,there is a reaction" BJP should understand,oversmart,overtalking,Not good for healthy politics 😂😂😂
Chal chal baap ko mat sikha

It is most unfortunate that such statements are made in election campaigns. We expect our PM to be statesman like.
Class 👍👍👍👍👍💯✔️✅✅
Very correct name is given to PM. Unashamed showman like a frog in a well.
It is so refreshing and satisfying to see, listen to such a great courageous speaking common men lives in the same part of this great land we live in at this period, among stooges and crooks.
When Rahul can be sentenced for asking why some thieves have a common surname, why is no Muslim brother filing a complaint for insulting him as infiltrators ?
Modi deserves much stronger sentence
Unashamed showman in hindi is called nautankibaaj. Kesariwal is an orator.
You mean without shame
First of all where did Feku ustad had respect 😅
That is why Kejruddin is in jail😅😅😅. No 1 liar. Orator in lies?
You are very good man I like you You better understand Modi ji why you are missing that He can do anything for power since 2002 His main power is EVM he have Wait of 4june

Beauty lies in beholders eyes and inner beauty is the one that makes one really beautiful.
Mr Karan Thapar
You do not ask him how long and how muchThe Hindus of India .. Will allow Mr Modi to go in his madness in his approach to Muslims..
.. Wouldn't someone tell him someday that he is gambling with the future and foundation of india and could endanger the country itself and disturb peace and development
Dear gentlemen, you are doing a good job, discussing serious issue in a balanced & matured manner ... In the similar way, can you discuss, 'what does it mean to be a Hindu?', 'Who is a Hindu?' etc.,
Thanks for this video. Amazing two personalities talking sense.
We are always with neutral and intellectual media and Karsn Thapar.❤😂🎉.
Why don't people take Sam Pitroda's words in the context of origin and evolution of homo sapiens i.e. human race which have different origins such as Mongoloid race and Negroid race. The latter gave rise to Caucasians of Europe and Asia where Mongoloid race is also present as it originated in the region what is now called Indonesia. This is by far the most accepted theory of human evolution.
A first journalist in my experience to say without mincing his words , the emperor has no clothes.
Mr Ray,sir, respects. Thank you for this interview which gives strength and commitment to democracy and liberal values.
I am South Indian I am not ashamed being compared to Africa. They too r human beings.BTW Africa has white race also.
RSS/BJP does not want to relieve Shudra from its slavery. Hence opposing cast census!
Shudra from the Southern States have mostly set themselves free from this Sanatana Slavary and progressed well. All those who don't wear Janeu are the Shudra population.
For Janeudhari Sanatana Hindus of RSS/BJP, Native Indians/Shudra population become Hindus only during elections.
Most shameless
People of india should elect educated honest simple person. Not bigot
Always a pleasure to listen to Mr. Datta-Ray. He's erudite and accurate and simultaneously entertaining. I've been reading his columns and essays and books for years. He's one of the finest journalists India has produced.
I don’t know what this gentleman is talking about the most honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is admired by the whole world.
Very beautiful story is coated here 😂👍

Honourable PM not only spoke lie, but spoke manipulated, coloured, hate bitter speech. Thanking both
Had the PM or President of a developed country run by rule of law cast these aspersions on an individual industrialist this issue would have gone to all those agencies dealing with ill gotten or unaccounted money.
Hero worship is there in indian blood and bone.when DKBarua said india is indira and vice versa it sounded music to the years!

I am a HINDU. I was asked to leave LAHORE in 1947 because I am a Hindu.
Hindus ARE FUNNY.
So hospitable. Gave away to East India Company. Then Pakistan to Persians, and then Nehru to Kashmir to show how nice Hindus are.
Jinnah was also of Hindu descent.
I left in 1958.
Awesome discussion
Very nice
Good video keep it up
Great conversation
yes enjoyable
Yes, very appropriate to say that MODI is nothing more than a frog of a Well. Really very true.
In view of his conduct, low level actions and regular utterances, it can easily be concluded that he is not worth to be made a peon in an office. He has demeaned the dignity of the post of PM to such a low level.
Why is us from the north being called Whites not offensive? Why is the southern Indians being called Africans offensive? This exposes the Indian society's mindset in general. Shame!
People are not interested in dividing society on religious faiths. They want food and other essential commodities at reasonable price.
Didn’t know that Bengali Hindu consider Bangladeshi Muslims as unclean
That's because Muslim households were mostly free of HolyCola and HolyHalwa!
Thanks for.Mr S Dutta Roy for his valuable comments on namo
It is not an insult, but distinction between an Illitrate & literate PM.
I don’t understand why those two are not responding
You never know may be it’s a mili Bhagat may be he expected Rahul to respond differently
Mr Karan you of all the persons should know better. Such people are called phenku's. Just that his mask slipped and his tongue slipped. He forgot to enact who who was and showed his real self which is below average individual without grace charisma or intellect
