Former SC Judge Markandey katju on Dirty politics,Caste and corruption!

Is democracy really working in India — or are we just living inside an illusion?

In this explosive and unapologetic conversation, we sit down with former Supreme Court judge Justice Markandey Katju, one of the most outspoken and controversial voices in India’s legal and political discourse.

From the Ram Mandir judgment to the role of the judiciary, from judicial ambition and political pressure to allegations of corruption within the highest courts, Justice Katju holds nothing back.

This episode dives deep into:
How polarization, casteism, and communalism have become tools for winning elections, The uncomfortable truth about criminalization of politics, Why Justice Katju openly disagrees with the Ram Mandir verdict, Whether fear of political backlash influences constitutional decisions,
His shocking claim that several former Chief Justices were “positively corrupt, Why GDP growth doesn’t translate into public prosperity, The brutal reality of India’s job crisis and what happens to unemployed youth, Reservation myths vs ground realities for Dalits

This is not a comfortable conversation.
This is not a politically correct conversation.
This is a raw, intellectual confrontation with power, hypocrisy, and hard truths.

Viewer discretion advised: Strong language, controversial opinions, and uncomfortable realities.

If you believe democracy should be questioned, institutions should be scrutinized, and truth should be spoken without fear — this episode is for you.
