Great work, Newslaundry, and a special shoutout to Manisha for watching painful Godi media and making TV Newsance. I would love to hear the panel’s views on Gandhi’s celibacy experiments, particularly the controversial aspect of him sleeping in the same room as his grand niece, sometimes naked, as part of his experiments. This information was brought to my attention during a recent NL Tippani episode when Atul debunked Anand Ranganathan’s claims. It was quite shocking to learn about this side of Gandhi, as I hold him in high regard for his contributions to India’s independence and unity. While I agree with Abhinandan’s view of Gandhi as one of the greatest men to have ever lived, it is disheartening to discover such aspects of his personal life. Defending Gandhi’s actions in this regard seems inappropriate, as these experiments are bizarre. Please enlighten me if my understanding is incorrect.
Aside from that, I would love to have Ravish and Saurabh on the Hafta panel.
