What the NEET Agitation Really was: A Far-Left Regime Change Op by Weaponising Gen Z
For almost 100 years, a vast network of Marxists, Communists, and Leftists systematically took control of universities, textbooks, and classrooms. They indoctrinated nearly seven generations of students, turning education into an ideological factory.The result? Today’s GenZ — largely clueless about history, culture, and reality — has been carefully weaponized against their own parents, against Dharma, and against the idea of India itself.In this hard-hitting episode, we break down:• How the NEET agitation was engineered as political warfare• The century-long Marxist capture of Indian education• How an entire generation was turned into useful idiots against their own civilisationThis is not about NEET or paper leaks. This is about the long war for capturing India’s mind. If you believe India’s future cannot be left in the hands of those who hate its past, this podcast is for you.

The Student Life of Sadguru Sri Sridhara Swami
Sadguru Sri Sridhara Swami was one of the illustrious Sadhus of the 20th century. His hilltop ashrama at Varadapura, near Shivamogga, is a renowned Punya Kshetra attracting lakhs of devotees throughout South India and abroad. Hailing from the glorious tradition of Samartha Ramadasa — the architect of Chhatrapati Sivaji, the sublime and exalted life of Sridhara Swami is deeply inspirational and profoundly humbling to put it mildly. From a very early age, in his student life, Sridhara Swami embarked on a life of asceticism and engaged in intense Japa and Tapas. This episode narrates some details of Sridhara Swami's daily routine as a teenager and student. It shows what an extraordinary role model he is for students of the contemporary period and future. This episode is a profound guide especially for Hindu parents in properly grooming their children and bringing them up with proper values and spiritual ideals. Do listen in!

Mohandas Gandhi’s Fatal Friendship with the Ali Brothers
THIS EPISODE traces the origins of the so-called Khilafat Movement to the destruction of the Ottoman Caliphate by the British. The Ashraf or Muslim elite in India were outraged at this event and began to provoke the Indian Muslim community for the restoration of the Caliphate. The Khilafat Movement was led by two brothers, Muhammad Ali Jauhar and Shaukat Ali, popularly known as the Ali Brothers. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi volunteered to support this lethal agitation aimed at reviving Muslim political power in India. It had nothing to with the freedom struggle against the British. The childish statements and outrageous behaviour of Gandhi in support of the Khilafat Movement truly defies description. Do watch this thrilling episode that offers priceless perspectives and sharp analysis about crucial events related to the Indian National Congress and freedom struggle.

How Communist Russia Transformed Nawab Nehru into a Soviet-Addict
In 1927, the Nehru family was invited as Soviet Russia’s state guests to witness and participate in a celebration to commemorate one decade of the Great October Communist Revolution of 1917. When the whole world was bitterly critical of Russia’s massive shortages and unemployment, Nawab Nehru didn’t seem surprised that he was provided a luxury class train compartment all sponsored by the USSR. For four days, the Russian government lavishly wined and dined and entertained Nawab Nehru. By the time he returned to India, he was transformed into an incurable Soviet addict. Do listen to this full story which does not find mention in any mainstream narratives about the Congress party and the Nehru dynasty.

The Unknown Story of the 1921 Anti-Hindu Riots in Malegaon
This podcast episode brings several eye-opening facts to light about how Gandhi misled the Hindu community into supporting the Pan Islamic Khilafat Movement. It was Gandhi who unilaterally glorified the bigoted Ali Brothers as nationalists and freedom fighters. Few people today know that Mohammad Ali got a Fatwa issued by 500 Ulemas throughout India to rebel against the government. Mohandas Gandhi endorsed this Fatwa from the official platform of the Indian National Congress. In a parallel development, the Khilafat Committee in Malegaon, Maharashtra, began making violent speeches, which eventually led to unprovoked violence committed by Muslims in the town. For three days in April 1921, the Muslim community set Malegaon on fire leading to a mini pogrom of Hindus, temple destruction, vandalism and large scale looting. This is a horrific chapter of recent history that has been largely untold. Listen to the full episode containing precious insights and hidden details of this incident and the career of Mohandas Gandhi.

A Vile Order of Arjun Singh Blocks the Ram Mandir Excavations in Ayodhya
INTRODUCTION When the disputed structure of Babri Masjid fell on December 6, 1992, the Congress was terrified. It feared it would permanently lose its Muslim vote bank. The Archeological Survey of India began the court-mandated excavations of the site. Each finding only increased the desperation of the Congress. That is when former HRD Minister Arjun Singh stepped in to do damage control. In an overnight order to K.V. Ramesh, former Joint Director General of the ASI, Arjun Singh effectively blocked the Ayodhya excavations and further delayed the rebuilding of the Ram Mandir. Learn the full details of this evil order and its disastrous consequences for the faith and devotion of millions of Hindus. Support our Podcasts!

Marxist Historian D.N. Jha: The Saga of a Brahmin Hater and Beef Eater
This episode traces the Marxist destruction of Indian History by covering the brazen falsehoods propagated by Dwijendra Narayan Jha (D.N. Jha). D.N. Jha was the direct disciple of another Marxist ideologue, Ram Sharan Sharma. Among all Marxist distorians, D.N. Jha is the crudest and the most brazen purveyor of naked distortions of Indian History. He seems to have had a morbid fetish to compulsively detect the use of beef and liquor in ancient India. His offensive and crass book titled The Myth of the Holy Cow is a shameless assault against the most sacred beliefs of the Hindu community. D.N. Jha's other full-time obsession was the peddling of hatred against Brahmins. He has written miles and miles of hate speech against Brahmins. In fact, he has authored a full-length book unambiguously titled Brahmanical Intolerance in Early India, a litany of Brahmin abuse. If that was not enough, D.N. Jha has also characterised Hindu deities in an extremely perverted and vulgar fashion in his book, Adulterous Gods and their inebriated women. That apart, Jha has distorted the history of the Gupta Empire using dubious methodology and has thereby drawn wild conclusions. He has force fitted Marxist Theories to areas of Indian history that do not lend themselves to such theories. D.N. Jha has also earned notoriety for his flagrant denial of Bakhtiyar Khalji's savage destruction and burning of the ancient Nalanda University. Thanks to the Marxist stranglehold over institutions, Jha's books were prescribed by the NCERT as history textbooks for schoolchildren for decades. In plain language, D.N. Jha was responsible for destroying at least two generations of Indians in their formative years. Do listen to the whole podcast exposing the mass of historical distortions committed by D.N. Jha.

Nothing can Stop the Coming Extinction of the Dravidian Dynasty
This episode deconstructs the rise of Dravidian politics in Tamil Nadu and through it, the ascent of the Karunanidhi dynasty, which has monopolised the DMK. However, like all dynasties, the DMK too, is headed for a gradual but certain extinction. Chief Minister Stalin’s repeated outbursts of invective against Sanatana Dharma shows desperation because as an ideology, Dravidianism stopped relevant more than two decades ago. The DMK's hold over political power after Karunanidhi's death is already shaky. With record levels of corruption and criminality, the party faces an impending humiliation in next year’s elections. And once it’s out of power, the Karunanidhi dynasty’s days are truly numbered. Don't forget to tune into this eye-opening episode in full!

From Parashakti to Bad Girl: A Dravidian Saga of Brahmin Abuse, Perversity, Vulgarity and Filth
The teaser of the upcoming Tamil movie Bad Girl released last year sparked a wave of outrage across Tamil Nadu. The Madurai High Court recently passed an order severely reprimanding the movie and its makers calling Bad Girl a borderline child pornography. In this episode, we trace the phenomenon that led to the emergence of such perverted movies in Tamil Nadu and the overall moral degeneration of Tamil cinema. Bad Girl is especially disturbing because its makers specifically target a school-going Brahmin girl depicting her as a victim of an alleged Brahmin patriarchy, which forbids her from having multiple sex partners, smoking and alcoholism.

[PODCAST] Kamal Haasan Pay a Steep Price for his Abuse of Sanatana Dharma
Kamal Haasan equated Sanatana Dharma with dictatorship in a recent speech delivered at an event conducted by the Agaram Foundation of Tamil actor Suriya. His latest anti-Hindu rant is his way of showing gratitude to the DMK which doled out a Rajya Sabha seat to Kamal Haasan as alms. This episode discusses how Kamal Haasan has progressively degenerated over the years and how he has become an out-of-work and jaded actor who is barely sane. Above all, his loathing for his own cultural roots has reached a new low and he needs to pay a steep price for casually abusing Sanatana Dharma. Join the conversation!

Hindu Massacre in Pahalgam: High Time India Decimates Pakistan

We explain how only chaos and anarchy will reign supreme in the place vacated by Hindu Dharma.

Sita Ram Goel Warned us about Kashmir
THIS IS A spontaneous episode covering the recent horrific massacre of Hindus in Pahalgam, Kashmir. What we call as the Kashmir “problem” is a polite way of describing a civilisational problem. It is a festering wound created by India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. In this episode, I recount the brilliant article written more than 30 years ago by Sita Ram Goel, one of the greatest intellectual warriors of Sanatana Dharma. In it, Sri Goel gives not only a historical perspective to the Kashmir issue but links it to the failure on the part of the "secular" governments since Independence. In this connection, it is pertinent to remember current the fate of the Hindus in Muslim-majority Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is the same fate that Hindus in Kashmir are also suffering in Kashmir since the last thirty years. In fact, the civilisational problem in J&K is one of Hindu astitva and asmita.

Communism, Kothas and Woke Culture: The Anti-Hindu History of Bollywood
This is Episode 1 of a new series of Podcasts narrating the unknown history of how Hindi cinema went from becoming an art form to becoming vehicles for Communist propaganda and a celebration of the Nawab culture and to finally becoming a hotbed for Woke propaganda. This episode gives a detailed historical context of the evolution of Hindi cinema since the days of Satya Harischandra and how it was slowly captured by Communists and Islamists. It explains the reasons why even a century, Hindi cinema has never a full length movie on the Mahabharata and why there are only so few movies made on themes based on Hindu Puranas and folklore. The episode is packed with rich insights from the Indian dramatic tradition dating back to the Natyashastra and how these traditions were systematically destroyed. Join the conversation!
