March 27, 2021 Bihar Police Bill Explained | Creation of a Police State? | The Deshbhakt with Akash Banerjee
Unprecedented scenes were witnessed in the Bihar Assembly - as the Nitish Kumar Govt force-passed the New Bihar Police Bill - that basically aims to transform the Bihar Military Police into a sophisticated armed force with virtually no court oversight - reporting direct to the state govt. Worst is the use of the force to 'manage' Public Order - we all know what that means.

The Opposition RJD has opposed this tooth and nail and for good reason - The impact of this will be seen soon on anyone trying to raise their voice.

March 23, 2021 Why PB Mehta's 'resignation' from Ashoka is Academia's Nirbhaya Moment | SNL with Akash Banerjee
Brick by brick - bit by bit - every voice is being suppressed. Sometimes subtle - sometimes brazen. But why the extra outrage over PB Mehta??? - when this is happening elsewhere too! Many have been asking this question. Well that is because assaults on women were happening before as well - but it took a Nirbhaya to show India how bad the situation really was. (not that it will change anything in the long run!) Similarly a University set up by some of the most powerful / well connected / rich Indians failed to even keep their prized professors in face of Govt pressure - telling picture of just how much things have gone from bad to worse.

March 20, 2021 Massive Unemployment In India | Dream Demographic Dividend or a Nightmare? | Akash Banerjee
Click to Download the free Kuvera App - http://bit.ly/3skNa0J

For years we've been shown the dream of India's #DemographicDividend - that stage where favourable population dynamics will fuel rapid economic growth....but sadly the data is telling us an opposite story - accordiang to CMIE - "the working age population has INCREASED by 11.22 crore between May '16 & Feb '21, but the total labour force as such has FALLEN by 2.99 crore"

In the latest episode of Deshbhakt we take a deep dive into the issue of #Unemplyment and understand why trends like #ModiRozgarDo are becoming all too common.

This episode has been done in collaboration with the fabulous #VivekKaul who did the real number crunching and went over the CMIE data - https://vivekkaul.com/tag/unemployment/

March 16, 2021 Will Modi be able to breach Fortress Mamata in Bengal? | 16 Points | Akash Banerjee feat. Poulami
For 10 years #MamataBanerjee has ruled over #Bengal - after pushing out the Left Front govt in 2011. Now in 2021 Elections she faces her biggest challenge yet - as the BJP under Amit Shah and Modi are mounting a serious challenge to her. How is the BJP such a big threat to Mamata?? In a state that did not have any BJP heft only a few years???
In this extended episode of the Deshbhakt we take a look at 8 POINTS why the BJP thinks that it has a solid change and 8 POINTS why the TMC may just come back to power on its own - for a third time running. Also in the mix - the Left+Congress+ISF combine that may make matters in Bengal a lot more complicated.

This episode wouldn't have been possible without the indepth research and onground perspective by Poulami .... for all things going on in Bengal - watch her frank and blunt talk on her youtube channel - @Hothat Jodi Uthlo Kotha / হঠাৎ যদি উঠল কথা

March 10, 2021 How a Democracy becomes a Dictatorship | 7 Point Guide | The Deshbhakt with Akash Banerjee
Is #Russia a Democracy?? Visibly yes. At the same time it's a virtual dictatorship under #VladimirPutin...even as he follows all the laws of the land and the letter of the Constitution (well mostly) .... In this episode of the Deshbhakt we take a look at Russia and explain how Constitutional Democracies can be turned into Constitutional #Dictatorships.... ironically using technology as a tool! Eerily - this is the modus operandi that all authoritarian leaders and aspiring dictators are applying globally.

March 08, 2021 Modi Job Do | Why Students appearing for SSC are so Upset? | Akash Banerjee feat - PuNsTeR™
Over the last 6+ years India was supposed to add crores of new jobs - that didn't happen... infact as per industry body CMIE, jobs are SHRINKING in India and to make matters worse the Govt jobs are even more difficult to come by. The SSC that is supposed to conduct exams that allow for new intakes has a disastrous track record of mistakes and delays. Finally it seems that students have had enough and are on the forefront of a digital 'andolan' against the Govt - using their numerical strength and toolkits to make their voice heard.

Will the Govt listen to our students or use FIRs here too as well?

March 05, 2021 Sonu Sood: I haven't lost anything by giving, only gained more | The Deshbhakt with Akash Banerjee
He's possibly the most positive person in India - in terms of the impact he has created and examples he is setting - #SonuSood already is a certified icon!

But one year after the pandemic crept into our lives (and brought out the best and the worst in us) - we sit down with the man to understand the method and the art of giving. With brutal honesty, Sonu shares his giving 'formula' / how giving has given him back a lot more / why others need to step in and give / why he's not looking at politics at this very moment.

Also what happens to his 'villain' image now? :)
Find out and let us know how you found this interview!
