🤣‼️DON’T MISSSS | Ft @ProfKNageshwar | Telugu Podcast | Raw Talks With VK |

Prof. K. Nageshwar Rao–Senior journalist, political analyst, and former MLC
In this Telugu podcast episode, Prof. K. Nageshwar shares his decades-long journey through journalism, politics, media ethics, and democracy in India, offering rare clarity in an age of noise. From being part of India’s first 24-hour news ecosystem to witnessing the transformation of Telugu media, he reflects on how television debates, political drama, and narrative-driven journalism have reshaped public thinking.

Drawing from his experiences at institutions like The Indian Express, the early days of TV9, and his time as a legislator, he explains how money, power, and politics intersect, and why voters today are often ill-informed or misinformed rather than unaware. The conversation explores Parliamentary culture, student politics, university ecosystems like Osmania University, and why money alone cannot build great institutions without intellectual leadership.

He offers sharp insights into media, politics, business nexus, the delegitimisation of independent journalists, and why healthy opposition and free media are essential warning systems in a democracy. From caste reservation debates and manifesto politics to welfare schemes like Dalit Bandhu, he breaks down how policies are designed, sold, and judged, and what voters should truly evaluate.1

The episode also touches on threats faced by journalists and politicians, public perception, ideological labelling, AI in journalism, currency performance, and the responsibility of intellectual honesty. With references ranging from ancient Indian philosophy to contemporary global politics, this is a grounded, no-theatrics conversation on how democracy actually functions behind the scenes.

If you’re interested in Telugu politics, Indian democracy, journalism ethics, media influence, voter awareness, and political analysis without shouting, this episode offers perspective, depth, and calm reasoning. This helps you see it all clearly.
