The Quint

The Quint’s editor-in-chief Raghav Bahl speaks on business, politics and policies.

Raghav's Take

In an America split between red rage and blue outrage, could the center be making a comeback?
Raghav Bahl’s sharp political chronicle, “Is Centrist Thought Re-Emerging in Intensely Polarized America?”, travels through Donald Trump’s America — DTA, the self-proclaimed “Divine Democracy.”
Through the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, his widow Erika’s stunning act of forgiveness, and unexpected moments of empathy from Jimmy Kimmel and Megyn Kelly, this film traces the faint, fragile revival of moderation and civility in a country consumed by extremes.

Is this the beginning of a centrist awakening — or just a fleeting pause before the next storm?
Watch Raghav Bahl decode the moral paradox of modern America: Can reason still survive when hate is holy?

In Part 2 of his provocative AI series, Raghav Bahl continues his stream-of-consciousness dive into the post-AI world. After asking *“What the @#$ is AI?” in Part 1, he now takes on the bigger question — *“How the @#$ will AI change our world?”
From the rise of trillionaires and tech oligarchies to the collapse of traditional labour markets, Bahl explores five existential questions:
Will AI flip the Capital-Labour balance forever?
Can universal income and robot taxes save us from inequality?
Will worklessness free us—or destroy us?
Could AI trigger digital colonialism between nations?
And will physical experiences gain value in a hyper-digital world?

US-India-Pak: Bill Clinton Raps Pak Knuckles; India Loves That Crunching Sound! | The Quint

Why is Prime Minister Narendra Modi castigating Rahul Gandhi for “running away from majority-dominated areas” to “take refuge in areas where the majority is in minority” (read Wayanad in Kerala)?

The naked implication was that Gandhi had somehow demeaned himself, committed blasphemy, by espousing the cause of minorities.

In this podcast the Quint’s Editor-in-Chief talks about how this one angry speech one angry speech,resurrected the binary of “separate electorates” – that Hindus should elect only Hindus, while Muslims do the same for Muslims – that ultimately led to the bloody partition of India in 1947. Tune in!
