            Chapters

            • 00:00 - 30:00: Prakash Raj on Political Hypocrisy In the chapter titled 'Prakash Raj on Political Hypocrisy', Prakash Raj criticizes the political landscape and hypocrisy evident within it. He expresses discomfort with certain individuals attaining positions of power, such as a deputy chief minister, without having a clear vision. Raj mentions injustices, such as the imprisonment of Umar Khalid, and emphasizes the importance of unity in diversity rather than enforced uniformity. He also highlights the personal consequences faced in his career, being banned by Tollywood six times, due to his outspoken nature. Raj concludes by expressing disdain for those who prioritize personal gain over the nation's welfare, urging against selling out one's principles.
            • 30:00 - 45:00: Discussion on Kunal Kamra and Freedom of Speech The chapter discusses the complexities surrounding Kunal Kamra and the concept of freedom of speech. It opens with a reference to national awards and mentions the influence of having a few right-wing individuals involved potentially as a strategy for certain unification efforts. This leads into a debate about the implications of enforcing a homogeneous language, election, religion, or ethnicity in a diverse nation like India. The conversation critically engages with the cultural richness of various Indian languages, contrasting them with Hindi, and highlights the potential pitfalls of such a singular approach by drawing parallels with the situation in Sri Lanka.
            • 45:00 - 90:00: Debate on Language Policy and Hindi Imposition The chapter discusses the debate on language policy and the imposition of Hindi. It references historical events and outcomes related to language policies, using Pakistan as a case study. Specifically, it highlights the fate of multiple national languages in Pakistan post-independence, implying a lack of diversity in favor of a single national language. The mention of awards suggests a context involving an accomplished individual, likely the guest referenced, who seems to have had a significant career in the film industry.
            • 90:00 - 120:00: Critique of Political Parties and Governance The chapter focuses on a critique of political parties and governance through the perspective of Mr. Prakash Raj, a prominent figure both in entertainment and political commentary. Described as a proud farmer and known for his antagonistic stance against many politicians, Prakash Raj is surrounded by controversies.

            • 05:30 - 06:00 are you this is the problem when somebody is speaking we want to put it into the brackets and then hold him and that is not what it is how would you respond then to an allegation that you have you have maybe done that in the past as well put certain things in Brackets when statements were weigh by politicians like I'm I'm talking about Mr Pavan Kalan wherein you recently tweeted saying do not impose your Hindi on us so exactly see the point is understand what I'm saying I said we are not against against
            • 06:00 - 06:30 Hindi we don't hate Hindi we don't hate hatred is a very heavy word don't impose M don't impose it's let let me have the right if I need if it is necessary for me so I told him don't impose your Hindi on us good and by asking you for not don't impose that doesn't mean I hate a language but your narrative is that we hating a nage and
            • 06:30 - 07:00 says gives an example of Cinema dubbing films what has that got to do with politics of Hindi dubbing films if somebody is dubbing a Tamil teugu film into Hindi is respecting the people who speak Hindi so that I don't impose my language with the big budget films I have done but I'm asking you you can see it when we dub Hindi films into Tel or Tamil we are asking them to say that please give it us in our language so that we can see your work of art and he says business it is a
            • 07:00 - 07:30 business it's a small business compared to what we are talking about it he has the adity to say you want uh Hindi people coming and working here from North India I said if they're coming and making a life in South India why don't you learn our language guys H where don't you learn my am I supposed to sit here and wait for you to come and every person I'll start learning or will you learn my language will I be allowed to come and work in another state without learning that language it is a necessity that people will evolve we'll find if it is
            • 07:30 - 08:00 necessary don't impose and he says no it is not in the National Education policy you have a choice no there is no choice why don't you understand the politics there is no choice it is like you know we have five restaurant I have a restaurant you can eat in any restaurant but you see you the other four restaurants are not working well you're not giving license to them so I'm forced to come and learn your this this is not work like for example simple thing there was an amul card which was introduced in Karnataka and on the satchet it was C thei I said
            • 08:00 - 08:30 where is Canada we call it musu please try to understand this politics in few years a Canada speaking guy will say y Swami chag can you give him up do you have the in your house how's that the politics we don't want that so I'm telling I told Mr don't impose as a counted to that as somebody who's read the policy and has understood the policy why don't you read in between lines no I'm coming to that right so in
            • 08:30 - 09:00 principle if the policy document is looked at it suggests that there has to be a three language policy first things first ICC and cbsc schools for the longest time have been implementing a three language policy secondly when they say that a child essentially should learn English and two additional Indian languages the counterargument from people against this entire movement is where is the imposition even coming from because we are saying you could learn telu you could learn Tamil so you could
            • 09:00 - 09:30 learn being a Kad you could learn Tamil you could learn Malayalam or any other language so in which way are we imposing Hindi which was actually done in the National Education policy of 1968 and 86 they have done it it was the third language when I've have gone through it but that has never helped me please try to understand you know first restructure the education system which can reimagine the future mm I was I was a born of 60s and 70s and they did not reimagine my future that 20 years down the lane I
            • 09:30 - 10:00 could be a radio jockey okay I was supposed to be engineer doctor no we fought against it this language know who said the children should learn three language you know what how tiring it is you have to learn English you have to learn Canada and you'll have to see Hindi because they'll bring in lot of Hindi teachers how many teachers to find see the point is they'll give you an option and they'll see to it that you have no other option so would it be right in that that case you say it's preemptive
            • 10:00 - 10:30 reaction it is it is not we will have to be preemptive because we see what is happening and three language if you're interested in a longer uh explanation about it is nothing but a sound it documents emotions of people mhm a small child a mother tongue it start learning even before it goes to school language will come naturally if they want
            • 10:30 - 11:00 to 600 700 CR people of Tamil Nadu why all of them do need Hindi what is Hindi now let's start fighting that's where it starts fighting now what is the richness of its literature compared to the Travian languages of Tamil Telugu how do you call it a national language go back and why don't you go back and see how many languages Hindi has killed
            • 11:00 - 11:30 from bhuri to lot of things from different dialects we know what is coming we know the agenda we read between the lines so we want to safeguard it it's better prevention is better than cure if you don't understand the importance of a mother tongue if you don't see the point is the perception you bring in a policy where a child's perceptiveness is sharpened do you feel at any point that rather than looking at languages cognitive tool because of the
            • 11:30 - 12:00 controversy and all the politics around it we've started looking at it as just a mode of instruction or a political tool no what what what what how do they spe teach you Hindi they do do they teach literature do they teach of the great voices or perceptions or philosophies that language has in its womb or are they teaching it so that you have a business relationship you have to no it's not like that see
            • 12:00 - 12:30 language I would rather say it in South Indian language if it says like once your sins have ripened you'll be caught you should understand that metaphor comes from a place where there are trees where there is a river where they see fruits bearing it doesn't come from a desert language is pregnant with such things
            • 12:30 - 13:00 it has its own wisdom it has it own reflection it has it own reactions it it strengthens you that way I may speak seven languages but what I speak is what I learn from my root I speak different languages because I work in different languages and my I want to speak different languag it is a respect to that people of that language to for the perception two language formula is fine third language is an imposition with an
            • 13:00 - 13:30 agenda you may say there is rules rules have loopholes I we can see what is beyond that you know where you I know where you are coming I said you speak Hindi because you know Hindi you want me to speak Hindi because you know only Hindi Mr Amit Shahi Mr Modi G why are you forcing us to learn Hindi is it so that we will be able to express our anguish and pain to you in in your language so that you understand or you
            • 13:30 - 14:00 want us to get brainwashed with your speech so that we know Hindi there's a difference we are not the same there's that political angle not the same there's that political angle there is a political angle to it where some people say that the Davidian parties especially because Tamil NAD has anybody it could be Bengal it could be harani it could be bjui there's a section which says that Hindi is not there's no option the choice of learning Hindi is be snatched away from the
            • 14:00 - 14:30 student because the day it is not snatched away we are saying don't make it a policy make a two language policy let the third language be their right their need if they need if they need if somebody is going to Cuba they'll learn Cuban if people from Tamil Nadu or harana or somebody is going to France and going to make a life there they will learn French isn't it so let it be don't do it
            • 14:30 - 15:00 because we can see why you're saying it's an option why are saying three language policy is not necessary because there is no history of Great Performances because of the three language policy sir so and it's a burden on the children the mothers peace parents understand it is a burden so the disparities between government and private institutions is not a secret there is huge disparity in
            • 15:00 - 15:30 terms of the quality of Education that is Meed out to students in a situation where students belonging to ICC cbsc schools are learning three languages because that is the policy that they have adopted and government institutions resort to a two language policy do you agree with the argument that has biar got three language policy language policy I'm asking you I'm asking you will you take South Indian languages there and say learn
