We The People

Anti-India slogans in Jawaharlal Nehru University were wrong, but has government's response since then been immature? Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said that the JNU incident had the support of Laskhar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed. What were the inputs that led to this assessment? On We The People, we ask is the issue about anti-national vs hyper-national? And does dissent include right to reject the State?

Three of the most influential economists, Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian, Niiti Aayog member Bibek Debroy and author of the book 'Capital' Thomas Piketty -- come together to debate India's economic future. From Income Tax data to Raghuram Rajan's comment that defaulters should not flaunt their wealth to the inheritance tax - watch the divergent views from the Left and the Right in this NDTV exclusive.

Banned by the Supreme Court, the government at the Centre has allowed Jallikattu, a bull-taming sport in Tamil Nadu to carry on. Even as animal rights groups slam the Centre's decision, with elections in the state around the corner, all political parties have come out in support for the continuation of the tradition. Is this torture in the name of tradition? we debate on We The People.

As encounter at Pathankot airbase continues, we debate on We The People: is the terror attack first stumble after Lahore leap? Is it a litmus test for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Pakistan policy? Also on the show, we discuss why was there unclear communication over the casualties? Why did Rajnath Singh say operation "successful" before it ends? And why was Defence Security Corps made first line of defence when NSG had been sent to Pathankot on Friday?

After Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said that the controversy arising out of his comments on the intolerance debate, made in an interview to NDTV, had at least partially hit collections of his new film 'Dilwale', his colleague Priyanka Chopra has said that actors were soft targets who were attacked right before the release of their films. Speaking on NDTV's Town Hall, Ms Chopra, whose 'Bajirao Mastani' also released to success and critical acclaim last week, said that she felt she had to speak up in support of all artistes and actors in general. She said that films are sometimes held to ransom and actors are made to pay the price simply for having an opinion.

The youngest of the six convicts in the 'Nirbhaya' (Jyoti Singh) gang-rape and murder case is released from the correctional home and is now with an NGO. Jyoti's parents say that the legal system has let them down and that their 3-year-old fight has come to zero. A new Juvenile Justice Law is stuck in the Rajya Sabha and Maneka Gandhi blames the Opposition MPs for stalling it. Should juveniles between 16 and 18 years who commit heinous crimes be tried as adults?

On this episode of We The People we debate: With world's most toxic air why are some still grumbling with Delhi government's odd-even formula to check pollution?

In 2013, the Supreme Court in its landmark judgement awarded Rs 11 crore medical compensation to Dr Kunal Saha, a US-based Indian doctor, who lost his wife Dr Anuradha Saha due to medical negligence in 1998. And now the Indian Medical Association wants a cap on compensation to victims of medical negligence. On We The People, we debate how do you 'compensate' when medical negligence takes a life? Yet doctors want a maximum limit. We ask is it fair or self-serving?

From Sabrimala Temple to Haji Ali Dargah, women are not allowed to worship. Sabrimala temple board chief and Congress leader Prayar Gopalakrishnan recently said, "The day there will be a machine to detect 'right time' for women to enter temples, that day women will be allowed in the temple." The comment has sparked widespread outrage with #HappyToBleed going viral on the internet. On We The People, we debate: Why do orthodoxies stand between women and worship? Why should women's monthly period mean a full stop? And why is menstruation still a taboo in 21st century India?

Every day brings new horrors of caste. But several Dalits are now arguing that wealth creation is the best route to welfare. Can capitalism annihilate caste? We debate if Dalit millionaires can remove the shameful stain of caste prejudice?
