Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Article 370, CAA, Indo-China Conflict | Karishma Mehta | EP 114

Описание: “Today, everyone accepts the truth that India’s stature is big internationally; when India speaks, everyone listens. The stature of India is significant and the confidence in India is high, I can confidently say that the way our Prime Minister has led the country, Modiji has performed the role of a leader exceptionally well and he has been successful in taking the country ahead. It’s only up from here!”

Hon. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh began his career with the simple desire to make a difference. And throughout his career, Singh has strived to do just that with the numerous key positions he has held – the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Education Minister, Agriculture Minister, Home Minister, and recently, the Defence Minister.

In the episode, we delve into his journey from a passionate young man, who once faced the inside of a jail cell for his beliefs, to becoming one of India's most respected political figures. He also shares his views on Article 370, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the Ram Mandir inauguration, his approach during the Indo-China conflict, and his views on India's defence strategy.

Let’s dive into his motivations, his milestones, and the moments that have defined his journey, and find out, “How The Hell Did He Do It?” This is not just the journey of a politician; it's a lesson in dreaming audaciously and making those dreams a reality.
