Gang got together but realized Nishant was missing so we had the very funny and very on-point with his critique of all and sundry Anurag Minus Verma @confusedvichar. We talked about the right wing influencer pandemic, how being apolitical is also political, what type of dictator does the country want and also how we examine our own prejudices, biases and how sometimes we censor ourselves as well.
