Rahul Gandhi makes me nostalgic for Indira Gandhi. Narendra Modi makes me nostalgic for LK Advani: @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

No comment by Modi when Gauri Lankesh and Shujaat Bukhari were murdered. But his heart bleeds when there is a forest fire in Portugal: @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

Senior public officials’ sycophantic tweets about the PM tell you something about the state of public institutions in the country: @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

Thapar doing what he does best, playing Devil’s Advocate. Reminds Guha of what Indira Gandhi did to dissenters.

“I agree. Indira started it”: @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

We are not living through a period of Emergency. We are living through a period where the govt uses public institutions to divide : @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

I lived through the Emergency. It was much worse. This is not an undeclared emergency: @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

If it was an undeclared Emergency we wouldn't be sitting here having this conversation in delhi right now: @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

Why is it that UP produced most of India’s prime ministers but is still doing so badly? Asks @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

India has changed. The electorate is younger and younger. No one remembers Nehru and Indira so you can’t invoke lineage. India has become a much more democratic and egalitarian society: @Ram_Guha on @RahulGandhi at #TheWireDialogues

Young India wants to know what you have done and not what your father or grandfather did: @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues

If Rahul Gandhi has risen it isn’t because of ‘smart tweets’. It’s because he is the default choice: @Ram_Guha at #TheWireDialogues
