Abhijit Iyer Mitra is an anomaly. He terrorizes the left, scandalizes the right, and has zero regard for political correctness. This is why he's the perfect podcast guest. He his hailed on Twitter as the archbitchess of Mylapore but holds a day job as a senior fellow at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies. Abhijit also publishes incisive articles on defence, foreign policy, and engages in the occasional Rana Ayyub jab.
In this two-hour conversation, among many things, Abhijit and I discussed:
► How the new Lutyen's Delhi resident is rich but not classy
► Why India's elite forces will never be celebrated like Navy SEALs
► Why Indian bureaucrats remain incompetent
► How Western reporting on India is overrun by activists and not experts
► Why India isn't a homophobic country
