Francois Gautier, a French journalist who has been based in India for over 30 years, shares his experiences covering India in this episode. He discusses the world's need for India in geopolitical affairs, the assimilation of Muslims into the Indian identity, and the dangers posed by Christian missionaries. Gautier is a staunch defender of India and talks about the threats facing the "Hindu civilization".
He also shares his thoughts on the unification of India and Pakistan, believing that it would promote peace and harmony in South Asia. However, he is critical of certain dogmatic beliefs in the Muslim faith and fears that the world, including the West, may eventually confront them. He notes that the West is already facing pressures from migration crises and intermittent wars in the Middle East.
Editor-in-Chief Aarti Tikoo, struck by contradictions in Gautier's views, probes the veteran journalist about his opinions on these issues.
