    FEEDBACK for Ishan

    Buddy, next time someone wants to say something, let him finish. Keep your question ready, wait. Ashwin was getting into something when you asked him about the process of Chanakya Chant
  • Biggest crime is to cut in when the guest is speaking ..Both Smita and Ishaan are guilty of it in this Podcast ..Let the guest SPEAK !!!!
  • @kamumbai
    For the first time Ashwinji has pointed out the truth. India is secular only because Hindu is sanatani.
  • @sripsdas
    Just a correction: Zohra Sehgal was with Uday Shankar ( the dancer), not Ravi Shankar (the sitar-player)
  • @user-zq9qv6rx9p
