His book Ninety Days, on the hunt for Rajiv Gandhi's killers, became a national bestseller and the basis for the SonyLIV series The Hunt. His latest, The Delhi Directive, goes inside R&AW's covert war and the operations Delhi will never admit to. He has spent decades cultivating intelligence sources, recording meetings no one knew were being recorded, and keeping notes on some of the most powerful men in the country. Blunt, precise, and completely unromantic about how the spy game actually works. In this episode, Vinamre and Anirudhya discuss: India's intelligence machine — RAW, IB, and how the NSA became its most powerful figure under Ajit DovalDawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon — empire-building over pure terror, and the ISI deal behind his Karachi refugeThe Nikhil Gupta case — Vikas Yadav, the Pannun plot, and a spy's life abroadJadhav, Bishnoi, Goldy Brar — why captured spies stay alive, and prisoner swaps via Meng WanzhouA.S.

He was one of the first eight pilots trained in France on the Mirage 2000 and flew in the formation that brought it home to India. He is also the only air marshal in the world to have ejected from a fighter jet, at 59, over the Chambal ravines. These days he writes and argues about air power, and he does it without the usual doom or the usual chest-thumping. Sharp, optimistic, and completely at ease telling the war stories most men would bury. In this episode, Vinamre and Anil discuss: • China and Pakistan building fighters together — the JF-17 and J-10C, the PL-15 missiles that fell short in Operation Sindoor, and why the nexus worries Delhi • Why the F-35 is not really on offer to India — the S-400 catch, and 22 billion dollars of American hardware bought with zero technology transfer • The Kaveri engine — forty years, a "whole of nation failure", and why China spent 25 billion dollars and still can't sell an engine to anyone • Tejas and HAL — only 36 jets flying after a 2001 first flight, guaranteed profit for slow work, and why the next fighter is going to the private sector • China vs India across the Himalayas — 400 stealth jets against zero, and the airfield maths that still leaves the IAF sitting pretty • Ejecting from a Mirage 2000 at over 20 times gravity — the shoulder torn from its socket, the Chambal ravines, and the villager's Nokia that reached the Air Chief in three minutes Follow Air Marshal Anil Chopra on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chopsyturvey/ X: https://x.com/Chopsyturvey Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Coming Up 00:01:04 – Intro 00:02:39 – China Pakistan Fighter Jet Nexus 00:09:19 – Why India Won't Buy F-35 00:18:41 – Tejas Jet & HAL Delays 00:24:59 – Kaveri Engine: Why India Failed 00:33:47 – Fighter Jet Generations Explained 00:39:46 – China vs India Air Force 00:43:06 – Mirage 2000 Ejection Survival Story 01:04:05 – Civic Sense Problem In India 01:17:33 – Importance Of Sports In Life 01:23:19 – Tough vs Helicopter Parenting 01:26:14 – Why Army Officers Ride Horses 01:28:45 – Passion, Leisure & Army Paperwork 01:35:12 – Microlight Flying & Parasailing In India 01:39:53 – Final Thoughts On India's Future ==================================================================== Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.

He planted his first tree on his eleventh birthday in 1977 and has not stopped since. Across fifty years, he and his volunteers have planted and preserved over 25 million trees and restored close to 2.7 lakh hectares of land across 21 states, with more than a crore of them peepal trees planted by his own hand. He is an Osho sannyasi who treats planting as a spiritual practice, and he is completely uninterested in slogans, panels, or the doom-industry around the environment. What he offers instead is five decades of grassroots work and some blunt, uncomfortable opinions about land, cities, and what Indians get wrong about both. In this episode, Vinamre and Peepal Baba discuss: Why wealthy Indians are quietly buying farmland — farmhouse culture, post-COVID reverse migration, and why he says your 16th-floor flat was never real estateHow a beginner actually starts — 40 balcony pots before buying land, gardener before farmer, and his three-step method for studentsThe truth about organic farming — why he calls certification a racket, what "natural farming" really means, and his national challenge to grow a bigger bottle gourd chemical-freeDelhi's pollution, reframed — not an AQI problem but an "88% encroachment" problem, and how Swachh Bharat could fix itWhat he'd do as Delhi's town planner — no politicians on the board, lessons from Singapore and Chandigarh, and why ugly cities breed depressionHis 49-year love for the peepal tree — the "ghost tree" superstition, why it's a keystone species, and why he changed his name from Azad Jain His memoir, Ghosts on Peepal Trees: My Journey From Folktales to Forests (Ebury Press / Penguin), is out now on Amazon and Flipkart.

He reads the primary documents, follows the money, and interrogates ideology instead of wearing it. Here he turns that lens on the Cockroach Janta Party and its founder, Abhijit Dipke — the Boston University degree, the funding that doesn't add up, and the AAP machinery sitting under the satire. He is blunt, forensic, and completely uninterested in the hero story being built around India's newest protest movement. In this episode, Vinamre and Abhijit discuss: - Why he calls the Cockroach Janta Party an AAP rebuild — Dipke's 2020–2023 meme work for the party, and how an online joke became a Jantar Mantar movement - The Boston University degree, line by line — the missing graduation, a $12,500 scholarship against a $48,000 semester, and why he says no communications student writes this badly - "Deep state" versus real intelligence operations — the total absence of Dipke's digital trail in the US, and what Abhijit thinks it actually points to - Narrative as a weapon — P. Chidambaram, the myth of "ground reality," and why he argues truth is now whatever gets amplified loudest - Why Che Guevara is still a campus hero — the torture, the Stalin and Mao double standard, and how the left rewrote fascism and captured the humanities - Marco Rubio in Kolkata and the "anti-national" funding question — Dinesh Thakur, the Gautam Adani acquittal, and Umar Khalid's bail - The Tarun Tejpal and Newslaundry saga — the reversed acquittal, his case against the newsroom, who he says was writing the cheques, and his advice to anyone entering journalism Follow Abhijit Iyer-Mitra on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abhijitiyermitra/ X: https://x.com/Iyervval Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Reality of CJP 00:06:11 – Bharadwaj–Saurav Das link 00:10:52 – CJP vs AAP 00:14:46 – Boston University degree thread 00:18:04 – Did Dipke graduate? 00:29:22 – BU spy activity claims 00:36:27 – Narrative vs truth 00:41:01 – Chidambaram, ground reality 00:46:36 – Che Guevara hero worship 00:54:59 – Scandinavia communism myth 00:59:45 – Marco Rubio, foreign funding 01:05:18 – Adani, Umar Khalid 01:12:09 – Tarun Tejpal, Newslaundry 01:24:16 – Who funds Newslaundry? 01:29:11 – Journalism career advice 01:31:40 – Conclusion ================================================================== Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.

Niks Indian is India's most recognisable adult content creator. No script, no safety net, in front of a live crowd. The wildest thing Dostcast has done yet. In this episode, Vinamre and Niks discuss: • What adult stars actually earn, why only 0.5% ever make millions, and how much piracy eats into the business • The real strategy behind going viral: knowing your audience, and why a sari outperforms everything else for Indian viewers • Niks' subscription model, how he scouts and pays performers, and why he refuses fan video calls at any price • Writing, directing and acting his own scenes, plus the sponsorships that funded a large chunk of his career • How the "Niks Indian" name was a pure SEO play that still pays off years later Follow Niks Indian on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theniksindian/ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 3:30 How Much Adult Stars Actually Earn 6:40 Dealing With Piracy 10:40 How To Go Viral 14:40 Niks' Business Model 17:00 Writing, Directing & Acting 21:10 Competition & Sponsorships 23:00 Scouting & Paying Performers 25:00 Jealousy In The Industry 26:30 Video vs Real Life 28:00 A Day In Niks' Life 32:00 Legally Shooting 36:20 Ethics & Morality 44:10 How Niks Stays Healthy 48:40 India: Before vs Now 52:40 The Indian Psyche Exposed 55:20 Building A Career In This Industry 57:00 How The Niks Indian Name Was Born 1:00:00 Q&A 1:16:00 Conclusion ==================================================================== Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.

He was part of the legal team behind Shreya Singhal v. Union of India — the case that struck down Section 66A of the IT Act. For over a decade, Apar has litigated India's biggest digital rights cases — fighting censorship, mass surveillance, and blocking orders against every government in power, not just this one. Where most tech commentary in India stays in English op-eds, he operates inside the courtrooms actually shaping what you can post, watch, and read online. Blunt, uninterested in TV-panel theatrics, and clear that free speech in India isn't dying — it's being managed. In this episode, Vinamre and Apar discuss: Data mining, dark patterns, and how apps profile you before you even sign upHyderabad's surveillance, the 26/11 tapes, and "national security" as an excuse for overreachAI and privacy — books pulped for LLM training, and lawyers already using ClaudeFighting every government — 6000 blocking orders, the Section 66A win, and Meta/X's deals with the stateSelf-censorship among creators, and what politicians want from podcasters.

For 12 years Vinamre let experts, podcast guests and news channels tell him what India is. This time he put the phone down and spent three days at Jantar Mantar — July 21st, 22nd and 23rd — inside the NEET protest, watching a student movement with his own eyes. No research, no facts, no narrative. Just what he saw, and why he thinks getting a minister to quit changes nothing. Live offline, publish online. In this video, Vinamre breaks down: - Three days at Jantar Mantar — why he walked in expecting "woke JNU types" and why the crowd changed his mind - The July 20th lathicharge — women slapped, children beaten, and why he says it undid 12 years of Modi's PR in one afternoon - The Cockroach Janata Party — how an ex-AAP PR guy turned an insult into a movement, and why Gen Z won't be fooled by it or anyone - Mob psychology on both sides — when personal responsibility switches off, for police and protesters alike - A blunt message to Narendra Modi's PR team — stop the myth-making before reality tarnishes the legacy - Why the rich, the finger-wagging old, and the silent podcasters all need to touch grass and see it themselves ==================================================================== Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.
