December 20, 2025 Inside the RSS: How the Sangh Shapes Policy & Politics in Modern India | Sachin Nandha
⚔️ Sachin Nandha — Inside the RSS, Rashtra vs Raja & How Power Really Works in India 🇮🇳🧠
The RSS has never contested an election — yet it remains one of the most influential forces shaping modern India.
So what exactly is the RSS?
An ideology? An organisation? A movement?
Or something far more complex?
In this deep, nuanced, and often uncomfortable conversation, Sachin Nandha breaks down how the RSS actually functions — not as a conventional institution, but as a bottom-up social movement built around the daily shakha, psychological rootedness, and the long project of rebuilding the Rashtra.
We explore how the RSS creates citizens rather than cadres, why it avoids direct control over the state, how it relates to the BJP and political power, and why tension between the Rashtra (people) and the Raja (state) is not a bug — but the point.
From caste, religion, and civilisational identity — to seva, social capital, discipline, and decentralised power — this episode goes beyond slogans to examine the RSS as it understands itself.
Not defence.
Not propaganda.
A serious attempt to understand one of the most misunderstood movements in India.

December 12, 2025 The Algorithmic War — Big Tech, Geopolitics & India’s Security Future | Col. Pavithran Rajan
⚔️ Col. Pavithran Rajan — Are We Already at War? Algorithms, Sovereignty & The Future of India’s National Security 🇮🇳🛰️
War today isn’t declared — it’s engineered.
In this explosive conversation, Col. Pavithran Rajan breaks down why the world has entered a permanent state of “Persistent Unpeace.”
Battles now unfold through algorithms, digital platforms, currency shifts, and information warfare long before a single shot is fired.
From Kautilya’s systems thinking to Clausewitz’s kinetic doctrine, from NATO’s eastward push to Ukraine’s hybrid war, Col. Rajan explains how modern conflict is shaped by:
• Big Tech’s supranational power
• Algorithmic manipulation
• Platform-driven regime shifts
• Oil, currency & economic warfare
• Civil–military technology ecosystems
• India’s need for digital sovereignty
Practical. Urgent. Uncomfortable.
A masterclass in understanding the invisible war that surrounds us every day.

⚔️ Vivek Krishnan & Dinesh Shivanna — India’s Defense Tech Reality, Broken Incentives & What Must Change 🇮🇳🚀 Instagram → /carygotthebluesg ambition is rising — but the gap between what we need and what we can currently produce is still dangerously wide.
In this deep and brutally honest conversation, Vivek Krishnan and Dinesh Shivanna break down the hard truths behind India’s military industrial base: our dependence on imports, the missing engine ecosystem, bureaucratic bottlenecks, the myth of “cheap India”, and why wars of the future will be won by countries that control core technologies, not just assembly lines.

⚡ Men Can’t Be Feminists? | Manu Joseph on Privilege, PM Modi’s Decline & The India We Ignore 🔥
India is growing fast — economically, culturally, globally.
Yet on the ground, millions remain unseen.
In this probing conversation, Manu Joseph joins Roshan Cariappa to break down the ideas we rarely confront directly — why the poor stay invisible, why caste still determines destiny, why male feminism is contradictory, and why even towering political figures eventually lose emotional pull.

November 21, 2025 Decoding India's epic timeline: Mahabharata through science | Nilesh Oak- Author
⚔️Did the Mahabharata actually
happen – Nilesh Oak on Evidence, Astronomy & India’s Ancient Timeline 🌌📜

For over a century, scholars have debated when the Mahabharata actually
happened — with hundreds of conflicting dates and theories.

In this episode, researcher Nilesh Nilkanth Oak joins Roshan Cariappa to break down his evidence-based method for dating India’s greatest epic using astronomy, geology, logic, and textual analysis.

Oak explains why most previous attempts fall apart, how ancient sky
observations narrow the timeline, and why understanding “time, place, and context” is essential to interpreting our epics correctly.

This conversation explores ancient Indian knowledge systems, the limits of Western Indology, the Ramayana–Mahabharata chronology, and why a scientific approach can reshape our civilizational memory.

The discussion covers the roots of anti-Indian stereotypes, diaspora identity, Western political framing, and the civilizational confidence needed to reclaim the narrative.

October 16, 2025 Aurangzeb, Whitewashing & India’s Forgotten Truths | Saurabh Lohogaonkar – Author
Aurangzeb, History & the Politics of Memory – Saurabh Lohogaonkar on India’s Distorted Past ⚔️📖
Aurangzeb remains one of the most polarizing figures in Indian history — remembered as both an emperor and a tyrant, a ruler and a destroyer. But what happens when centuries later, his legacy is rewritten to fit modern political comfort?
In this thought-provoking conversation, Saurabh Lohogaonkar joins host Roshan Cariappa to unpack how India’s history has been selectively sanitized — how tyrants became “administrators,” persecution was reframed as “policy,” and why the truth about Aurangzeb still makes us uneasy today.
Lohogaonkar argues that whitewashing history doesn’t heal wounds — it deepens them. He explores how religious orthodoxy replaced pluralism, how the Deccan wars drained the empire, and how post-independence academia rebranded a dark chapter of history as a misunderstood reign.
This episode is not about hate — it’s about honesty, memory, and reclaiming clarity from centuries of distortion.

October 11, 2025 Why Muslims Still Feel Separate | Prof. Salvatore Babones – Political Sociologist
India’s democracy continues to puzzle the West — thriving amid diversity, faith, and chaos, yet repeatedly misjudged by global indices and foreign intellectuals.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Prof. Salvatore Babones joins host Roshan Cariappa to unpack the bias behind Western democracy rankings, the cultural roots of India’s political resilience, and why dharma, not rights, is at the heart of the Indian way.
