In this episode of Let’s Talk Bharat, Anupam Kher is joined by leading criminal lawyer and constitutional law expert Mahesh Jethmalani. He prioritizes national self-interest over diplomatic outreach, exemplified in Kashmir’s formal integration into India, which was achieved through legal reclassification in August 2019. Jethmalani lauds Bharat as a nation “on the move” while weighing in on India’s friendship with Russia since “time immemorial.” He sees Bharat emerging as a formidable economic and military force, and harbors optimism for the years up to 2047, which will mark centenary celebrations for India’s independence from colonial rule.
