Tune in to hear about how ancient Egyptians were operating with batteries, why the Amazon could be a large garden and what happens when you use ChatGPT for all your research. That and many other artifacts from the absurdity that is considered as smart in our country.

Nishant and Raj were joined by Vinamra and Yash to talk about the ongoing conflict between US and Iran, then role of India in all that. They talk about some recent incidents in India and how it can be seen as the revenge of the masses in India (educated and otherwise) who have only learned to see the world from the local lens provided to them with limited to no understanding of how the rest of the world is but also no appreciation for things beyond their immediate vicinity which also means a dive into our education system and social system.

Hello friends, and welcome to the last episodeof 2025 on Bharatiya Junta Podcast.

As we stand at the edge of another year, I wanted to take amoment to speak with you, as one person trying to make sense of these times to another doing the same.

Firstly, happy new year and for most part that is all I have to say to you, hope you have a good one. You can switch off now if you want to because from here on everything I say will probably only be a different way to wish you a better upcoming year.

But if you are invested either in commuting or cooking or working out stay with me for a bit.
