And is its bureaucracy the biggest obstacle to its rise? In this episode, Ravi Kapoor (former IRS officer) speaks with Dr Abhinav Pandya, founder and CEO of the Usanas Foundation, author of four books on India’s security, and former advisor to the J&K Governor during the Article 370 period. They discuss 1,200 years of invasions, why a wealthy India was colonized, and how caste and orthodoxy weakened society from within. The conversation then turns to corruption in the IAS, IPS and IRS, UPSC’s “best brains” problem, generalists heading specialist bodies like the ED and CRPF, and whether lateral entry can fix the system. An honest, unfiltered conversation on governance, national security, and India’s future. ----- My gear for shooting this video: Sony-ILCE-7M3-Full Frame Mirrorless Camera: https://amzn.to/4l4KVLf Canon EF50MM F/1.8 STM Lens: https://amzn.to/4c8UswO Logitech Tripod: https://amzn.to/3XFtffg Zoom H1 All Black (2024 Version): https://amzn.to/429Gypv Shure SM7B Cardioid Vocal Dynamic Microphone: https://amzn.to/3RsSLAJ GODOX SL150II 150W LED Video Light: https://amzn.to/4hUP2H1 Rode Collar Mic: https://amzn.to/3E1UfyO ----- For more podcasts like this one, subscribe to our channel.
