Goodevening Rahul; thanks for having me- Now give me just 90 secs! — The curious case of Anand Ranganathan: From the Ivory Tower
Yes — quite a long headline for a news story as per SEO (Search Engine Optimization) standards of Google.
But this is no news you see: This is WAR!
I just remembered the climax scenes of “Mission Impossible Fallout” where Alec Baldwin explains to the British Prime Minister about the versatility of rogue CIA agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), “Sir please, Hunt is uniquely trained and highly motivated, a specialist without equal, immune to any countermeasures, there is no secret he cannot extract, no security he cannot breach, no person he cannot become! — He has most likely anticipated this very conversation and is waiting to strike in whatever direction we move.”
“Sir, Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny, and he has made you his mission.”
Watch this to live the experience of what is coming in the following paras.
The anti-christ, oops sorry, the anti-right were pretty much up against Mr. Makarand Paranjape (a well-known professor at JNU) when he expressed his support for some of the decisions or steps of the present “Ultra Conservative Hindu-tva nationalist,” government led by a wretched (according to the elite) person.
They said, “he is nowadays right wing’s favorite inclusion”. Then what would the elite say about Anand Ranganathan? Who just makes a heroic appearance At the 9:00 p.m. news prime time debates, with research unparalleled when compared to other panelists that are good enough to decimate them.
Here is an example:
In this debate at Times Now with one of my favourite news anchor and journalist Rahul Shivshankar, Dr. Ranganathan enters the scene after the 19th minute as the first panelist whose views are sought on the issue of an old UPA letter that reveals the hijacking of the Nehru Memorial Trust by the then Congress Party.
Now, look at Mr. Ranganathan, in this debate within 2 minutes he has let the country know a certain fact backed by solid evidence that in the past the Nehru Memorial Trust had sanctioned INR 5 crore to commission a book on Raja Ji.
And guess what happened to that 50000000?
It’s almost like the Revelation that came to Nostradamus about the end of the world, in a flash and he wrote it down in poetic verses so much encoded that the experts are still trying to connect the dots.
Ranganathan ruthlessly and almost mercilessly reveals that the amount of Rs. 5 crores was latter given to a trust that belongs to Sonia Gandhi (I hope we all know who she is — LOL) and was converted to a fixed deposit. Now, of course, you may ask, like what is the source of such allegations?
And then guess what happens?
He does the impossible: He quotes a certain report by the CAG i.e. the Comptroller and the Auditor General of India.
I mean who does that? (Can’t fathom as of this moment & LMAO)
Ever since then it had intrigued me to ask this man, from where does he get this amazing scholarly research works Not for any academic journal production but for Prime Time news debate show?
Here we get to see a different aspect of Dr. Ranganathan. He along with Abhijit Iyer Mitra takes long-form interview of veteran right-wing politician Dr. Subramanian Swamy who needs no introduction at least not here.
The interview was so well structured and so informative that even it is relevant for a teenage school-going boy with some awareness.
Fast forward to the present situation. We are now going through a strange phase in our lives where humanity has surrendered to something that is not visible to the naked eye.
Yes, I am talking about COVID-19 or the Coronavirus pandemic that has crippled the economy world over and raised a serious question about the health preparedness or the infrastructure of some of the most developed nations of this century.
In this particular news debate or discussion, we see Dr. Ranganathan at his professional best.
I only fathom as to why he is not one of the members of an advisory board to the health ministry if not the Prime Minister’s cabinet. Watch the discussion until the end.
