Raju Parulekar is a veteran political analyst, journalist, author, and podcaster.
In a world clouded by sensationalism and silence, few voices cut through the noise with clarity, conviction and context. Raju Parulekar has spent over three decades dissecting power, media, and the ideological machinery shaping India. His commentary isn’t just informed, it’s forged in the fire of political reality, institutional memory and sharp moral inquiry.
Expect to learn why India’s foreign policy may be drifting into irrelevance, how media narratives manipulate public sentiment, what we’re not being told about Pahalgam and Pulwama, how uniform nationalism threatens constitutional integrity, why manufactured consent is more dangerous than censorship, what the deep state really looks like in today’s India, whether the Indian opposition has already failed, how history is being weaponised, and much more…
