FOUND: 6 - What They Never Told You

Hafta letters: Caste, China and AAP’s silence on Sisodia

Hi team,

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Space exploration, Sudha Murty, Manipur videos

I religiously listen to both NL Hafta and NL Charcha. Many a times I feel an element of non-seriousness in Hafta discussions. For instance, in one of the past episodes, Abhinandan wasn’t aware of who late Anupam Mishra was, while Atul called him his guru. As a listener, I find…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Atheists, moon missions, US court systems

Hey NL team, it’s दिवगुन्न btw. I thought it best to type out in Hindi. My suggestion to the NL team is if they can start film discussions, critique and roundtables with sound designers, cinematographers and writers. As somebody who works in the film industry, it is sad to not…

Hafta letters: Believers of God, influencers and supreme leader

My few feedback related to the discussions around the time of letters reading:

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Gandhi and celibacy, battling propaganda, Uniform Civil Code

Great work, Newslaundry, and a special shoutout to Manisha for watching painful Godi media and making TV Newsance. I would love to hear the panel’s views on Gandhi’s celibacy experiments, particularly the controversial aspect of him sleeping in the same room as his grand niece, sometimes naked, as part of…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Sex and gender, hacking, the Mahabharata, land ownership

Regarding Sekhri's response to my letter, I had already qualified my response by saying that I am not asking you to go educate yourself. I was not even getting into whether I agree or disagree with you. The suggestion was that you do not forcefully shut down someone who knows…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: CoWIN data leak, swearing on Hafta, Uttarakhand discussion

Request Abhinandan/Manisha to read this letter. I don't think I’m alone in this feeling but I like Abhinandan swearing on the podcast, it conveys a deep emotion of feeling fucked. It might be crude, but "fuck" is a feeling that at least begins to address the bizarre unfolding of events…

Hafta letters: Gender, pronunciations, Dalai Lama, Karnataka election coverage

Dear NL family ,

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Encounter killings, Dalai Lama, a friend through NL

Does the Indian police have a department such as internal affairs in the US? I’ve seen Hollywood movies where IA officers investigate crimes committed by police, whether it’s torture, financial irregularities, custodial deaths, encounter killings, etc.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Kannada conversation, calling out fake news, fantasy cricket

Love the work you are doing. Recently I supported the NL Sena. But as I want to gift a subscription, I could not find someone who is interested mostly in national politics. I know that you guys will expand eventually, but why don't you find someone to collab with meanwhile?

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Orwell’s 1984, bigotry, audio interviews

There appears to be a deliberate attempt to tar only the majority community in your podcast. This is especially true of one senior panelist from whom I have yet to get one adverse comment on the minority community's provocation in riots. I wish this position is corrected and fair debate…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Privilege, prep for 2024 election, collaborations

In the last Hafta on the issue of the central government not allowing anything against Modi, most panelists missed the point that even in state governments, the CM or party leader cannot be criticised by anyone without inviting the ire of the state government. Can one criticise Stalin in TN…

Hafta letters: Conservative news platforms, Sudha Bharadwaj interview, SC rulings

Hi NL team, I had a request and a suggestion.

Hafta letters: NL interview problems, Adani coverage, Ravish job offer

Raman sir and Abhinandan, you asked if any country is capitalist/socialist? Well, socialism and capitalism are not mere labels that can be put on countries and then be defended or ridiculed. They are policy frameworks. A policy is as capitalist as it fits in that framework and the laws as…

Hafta letters: Salvatore Babones interview, best NL stories, praise for app

I feel like my mails are always critical of NL (and almost exclusively of Abhinandan). But I expect nothing but excellence from NL, and when that doesn't happen, I feel the need call it out, because I, like many subscribers, want NL to do well and gain wider audience.

Hafta 412: The ‘most satisfying’ career and all the FIFA controversies

It’s an all-Newslaundry panel this week with Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Mehraj D Lone and Anand Vardhan.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: NL interviews, renouncing citizenship, podcast player issues

While listening to last week's Hafta, Abhinandan mentioned that current subscribers should mobilise and bring in new subscribers.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Gujarat election, science desk, nuclear energy

1) Did voter turnout matter at all in the Gujarat election? Like in the US, while Trump got a lot more votes in 2020 than in 2016, he lost because of a higher voter turnout benefiting the Democrats. Did that matter at all? Were AAP voters a new set of…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Nuclear energy, Gujarat election, Club Q shooting

Thank you for the episode on COP, I enjoyed it very much. However, I was looking forward to hearing more about India's specific strategy and what it means for us as citizens. I read some pieces on the internet, but there were so many ifs and buts with each commitment…

Hafta letters: Climate change, free market ideas, average news consumers

I just have one question to those backing the "we are the poor countries, let the right countries do it first" theorists, and the "per capita emissions" theorists.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Against labels, language chauvinism, communist propaganda

In Hafta 405, I loved Abhinandan’s exasperation at how Bongs at a workplace start chatting in Bengali. I guess this is the common experience of non-Hindi speakers at all workplaces where Hindi speakers expect everyone else to join in Hindi. Then, even if you try, they will crack a joke…
