Columnist and author Arnab Ray, better known as Greatbong, joins us for this episode of Hafta. Samajwadi Party made headlines thanks to Mulayam and Akhilesh keeping feuds in the family. Is all this staged and if it is, who benefits from it? There are many differing points of view on the case of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vs Supreme Court. Ray has some insights to offer, along with a fascinating study of how cricket has mirrored Indian society over the years. We also discuss the terrible case of mass molestation in Bengaluru on December 31 and whether any point is served by lambasting misogynists like Abu Azmi. The Opposition doesn't want the budget announced before elections in five states, but is that reasonable? We discuss all this and a little bit about demonetisation with Abhinandan Sekhri, Madhu Trehan, Deepanjana Pal, Anand Ranganathan and Manisha Pande on the panel. There are also some important announcements, letters from our listeners and a song dedicated to those who support us.
