#NLHafta100: Sabki Dhulai By NL Subscribers

So it’s the centenary episode of NL Hafta and it had to be special right? Well, it was all that and more. Six of our subscribers from different parts of the world joined our regular panel. Listen to how they took the floor and took our panel to the cleaners, elegantly. Our usual suspects Abhinandan Sekhri, Madhu Trehan, Anand Ranganathan, Deepanjana Pal and Manisha Pande were all ears. Also, we discussed Swati Chaturvedi’s new book I Am a Troll, an investigation into Bharatiya Janata Party’s social media cell, and the horrifying statements of the democratically elected Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s way. In media news, there’s a FIR against Zee News for reporting on the Dhulagarh riots, and we discuss whether the media can stand shoulder to shoulder for freedom of speech. Find out who wrote #NLHafta100’s most retweeted tweet and of course, there’s a song at the end. Enjoy!
