This episode of #CutTheClutter with Shekhar Gupta looks at the concept of Waqf, legislation governing waqf properties, the amendments brought in by the NDA govt in April 2025 & the arguments made in favour or and against the latest amendments. It also explains the amendments made to the law in 2013.

Regime change can always be a democratic aspiration. But it will take more to achieve it than a few days of protests, riots and arson. What the collapse in Kathmandu with just one push underlines to us is that it was a non-functional state. It had an elected government, but its leaders did not have the first prerequisite for governance: democratic patience. Could this happen in India? A regime change through any “tool kit”? A quick way to explain why it can’t happen is to remind ourselves that constitutional democracies do not have a ‘regime.’

CutTheClutter: NATO forces shoot down Russian drones over Poland:Unpacking consequences,geopolitics & Warsaw's rise
Less than two years after independence, India found itself battered by Maoist insurgents in Telegana and growing chaos along its borders with Tibet. Even as Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru publicly advocated for staying out of Cold War politics, India’s first intelligence chief, TG Sanjeevi Pillai, was quietly despatched to Washington to expand intelligence cooperation. The pillars built in that time have helped hold up the US-India relationship, and could prove critical again.

In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab? The state is fast becoming the new Northeast, with its alienation & rise of radicalism. India can’t afford to repeat the mistake it made in Northeast— Watch this week’s National Interest with ThePrint Editor & Founder Shekhar Gupta.

Central banks hold more gold than US treasuries now. Behind the recent increase in gold's purchase by countries' central banks are three factors- a weakened dollar, uncertainty post Trump assumed office & geopolitics. Central banks' purchase of gold is also driving up its price which has increased by 35% this year. ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains why countries are stocking gold & dumping US treasury bonds, and how geopolitics is driving this.

Kanpur mayor Pramila Pandey cancels initial proposal for ‘Shivalaya Park’ as protests escalate from city to across state. Alternative site to be identified, she says.
This policy unpredictability is accelerating India's brain drain, particularly in tech and digital innovation, where skilled professionals seek more stable environments abroad.
Oh was that Vir Singhvi? I thought it Imam of Jama Masjid 🤦
How pathetic! work of fiction. Emanates from your hate for Hinduism. Shameful
eww
what is this ? one sided right wing opinion ?
God permit, these doctors should be treating you in future.
Complete waste of time. If you are doing journalism since long time doesn't mean you are journalists, remained कचरा at this age of life. We did not expect much from the print but this is disgusting. No substance.
For God's sake name the former Army Chief accurately
Great analysis 👍
Wrong title
The initial few minutes are blank
You want muslim women leadership to toe line of what male chauvinist leaders? We want women leadership to take up women's issues. Pathetic. Podcast
High Court decision must be challenged in Print's Court.
She can United:)
Heard of editing? Cut the Crap
What am idiotic argument 'why India is refusing visas to Afghans if India wants to be big player'. Did USA, China Pak grant visas to Afghans? You have no sense of National Security Issues. Please quit.
Clubbing our Prime Minister in the club of Trump, Bolsnaro and Putin was a pathetic attempt to hijack the discussion. Good that the guest did not comment. Then declaring that the largest media Org of India is not truthful is indicative of your motivated journalism contrary to what Print claims about un- hyphenated journalism.

Talookat with panchamsaali sect? He belongs to that subcaste....Ashwath Narayan is currently DCM.....Aravind Kejriwal? very unprofessional, ill informed and disappointing presentation. Grow up.
Hi, I love the podcasts from The Print, listen to them almost everyday. Thank you for making them. It would be really great if the readings were done in a style similar to the editor's picks by The Economist. Just a suggestion though. Thank you.
Fully politically motivated podcast.
