In this episode we decode the political strategies, caste equations and historical stories shaping Indian politics.
We begin with the growing political importance of Gen-Z and women voters. Why are sections of these crucial voter groups becoming increasingly vocal, and why is this shift a concern for the BJP? We look at how the BJP and Congress are trying to connect with younger voters, women and Dalit communities, and how Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi are shaping their strategies for the politics of the future. We also examine how both parties are using social media, trends and digital optics to stay relevant and win over voters.
The episode then turns to the complex politics of caste, reservation and Dalit identity. With the BJP facing difficult questions around reservation and its traditional vote base, how is the party attempting to strike a balance? Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi and the Congress are taking a more aggressive approach to Dalit identity politics, including their support for initiatives such as 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' and their response to the 'Shuddhikaran' row. But can Congress translate this political messaging into a strong grassroots organisation capable of challenging the BJP?
Finally, we revisit the extraordinary life and career of Ram Jethmalani, one of India's most prominent, fearless and controversial lawyers and politicians. From beginning his legal career at just 18 to defending some of the country's most high-profile figures, Jethmalani's career spanned some of the biggest political and legal battles in modern India. We look at the stories behind his political career, including his role in the Bofors controversy, his confrontation with Rajiv Gandhi, and his decision to contest the Lucknow election against his longtime friend Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
