Kushal Mehra on Right-Wing, Reservation, Secularism and Free Speech

Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of the Skeptic show. On this episode of the Skeptic Show, I had the pleasure of talking to Kushal Mehra. Kushal is the host of the Carvaka Podcast. The Carvaka podcast is one of the most popular podcasts in India for conversations surrounding politics, philosophy, religion and social issues. His podcasts have been viewed more than millions of times.

In this episode, he talked about the existence and rise of the right-wing in India. He talks about the need for reservations, why India has never been a secular country and why she should be. He talked about Media neutrality, problems of Free Speech In India, India becoming a Vishwa Guru and how to make sense of the political noise. I had a lot of fun talking to him, and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode.
