My debate with @swapan55 on “NewIndia” at the @IndiaToday Conclave in Mumbai on 20th September:
Enjoyed a vibrant interactive session with the Pune Chapter of @YPO yesterday, ably moderated by @AbhaBakaya . Issues raised by the audience ranged from why I joined @INCIndiato the ruling party’s communal politics to #InclusiveIndia & Hinduism.
The @YPO Punekars had created interesting displays of some of my quotes. Putting my thoughts & ideas into the national discourse about issues that matter is one contribution I’m happy to be able to make.
My events at the #PuneInternationalLitFest were terrific- huge& keenly engaged audiences, sitting on the aisles& crammed into every corner, asking great questions,listening in rapt attention& applauding generously. Thanks #PILFJadoo ! Launched RagaDaSilva’s memoir #UntoldLies .

Infosys co-founder N.R Narayana Murthy: "If you look at what is happening in different parts of the country today, it is time that we, especially the youth, stood up to say this is not the kind of the country our forefathers had got freedom for." So true.
