NL Hafta has gone behind the paywall, but we love our listeners. So here’s a little sneak peek into the complete episode.

In this week’s episode, host Abhinandan Sekhri is joined by Anand Vardhan, Washington Post‘s India correspondent Niha Masih, and Sneha Koshy, the head of NDTV‘s Kerala bureau.

The podcast starts with the panel’s take on BBC’s report on Kashmir, which was rumoured to be untrue. Niha was in Kashmir for five days and she talks about the communication shutdown there, also describing how restrictions on movement for the media was different on each day. Moving to the Pehlu Khan case verdict, Anand feels the problem in India is “more of mob justice than about mob lynching”. About the recurring floods in Kerala and most of South India, Sneha explains how environmental exploitation and urbanisation has taken a toll on Kerala.

Produced by Kartik Nijhawan, edited by Satish Kumar and recorded by Rishabh Kumar.
