NL Hafta – Episode 58

This week, Hindol Sengupta, editor at large of Fortune India, joins us on Hafta ​to talk about​ Kanhaiya, Karan Johar,​ crony capitalism, crony socialism and much more. Tune in to get a new perspective on communism, and we wonder if Vijay Mallya is just another brick in the wall of unpaid bank loans. We’ve also got our eye on Raj Thackeray’s call to burn autos and the top generator of news stories this week, Sri Sri Ravishankar.
