Yogendra Yadav on Being Born 'Salim', Rahul, Kejriwal & 3 Mistakes in Fighting BJP I Barkha Dutt
Political activist and chief of Swaraj India, Yogendra Yadav, speaks to Barkha Dutt in the 29th episode of our podcast 'Inside Out'.
Yogendra Yadav speaks about his life's transition from being a professor to a psephologist to a politician. From Anna Andolan to the formation of AAP, to Narendra Modi becoming the Prime Minister & Congress registering its worst defeat ever, Yadav has seen it all. "When BBC anchor announced that Indira Gandhi is trailing from Raebareilly post-emergency, I then saw democracy with my own eyes," he says.
Yadav also talks about his childhood and family and reveals why his father named him Salim after his grandfather was murdered by a Muslim mob.

He is true to his name SALIM & is suffering from HINDUPHOBIA. He is the same person who is very against Ram Mandir & wants just Hindus to believe in SARV DHARM SAMBHAV which we Hindus do beleive but he want say that beleivers of so called religion too should believe in that.Reg his comment on RSS he should know that it is a social organisation not a political & it never forbade its member from joining independence movement & even after independence it has remained apolotical.Hinduism has been reformers & as such he should at least speak about reforms in the religion that has named him Salim.
Yogendraji appears to be a person of integrity and principles. This interview was inspiring, I really hope this will attract more Indians to be committed about their country.
Yes appears. Too sugar coated a tone.
@@Sadhana3662read the books and essays he’s written, I guarantee you that he is way too real other than the perceived sugarcoat appearance
@@hritvikarjunmehrotra7453bruh rubbish just like congress manifestos what have they done in 60 years
20:29 Ofcourse a left leaning librandu would claim RSS has an inferiority complex driven superiority complex, or claim that superiority complex of RSS is "idiotic"..... he sort of betrays his own thoughts.
His father was a real Dhimmi … Islamists thrive on this
I can hear Yogendra Yadav for 6 hours .... he is so eloquent that every word from him is a learning!
Congress must die - YoYa
True. Especially when I can't sleep. He can put anybody to sleep well with his hypocritic, spineless points of view.
@@user-rg7jt4xp9ytroll mahodaya, read the entire article that he wrote. Then you’ll understand what he meant.
Asli account se aao yy😂
I am not sure whether there are too many public commentators in India today who can present such a crystal clear discussion on the general nature of Indian political history. His description of the two principal strands of Indian political thought - Swaraj and Samata - and how they must be brought together, can be understood and appreciated even by a layman who is ignorant of political jargon. A truly learning session this was. Regarding the Deep Sidhu episode, it is not entirely impossible that pro-Government forces had helped to inject elements into the Farmers' Movement so that it could be vilified. Authorities in all places and in all times try to do such dirty tricks like propping up extremist elements within peoples' movements in order to jeopardize them from inside.
That's 'Deep' 😂
that's cute, considering the left just provides soft support to these extremists who are apparently propped by the government
all I can say भई बिन होत ना प्रीति.. I do remember after Allahabad High court judgement on ram mandir both these folks were breathing fire against Hindus ..
42:20 If this is end of country as "salim" knows it..... well hell, its GREAT ! We should all clap and celebrate that a poor version of the country's future is NO MORE !
This Rahul Gandhi's fanboy is comical. Atleast, he is a good actor
Hats of Professor. I admired you now I am proud of you
When his father wrote a letter to Modiji telling him what he is doing to Muslims is not good,did he specify what exactly wrong doings he meant? Barkha should have asked Salim.
His hate for BJP is very evident and also the whole discussion is so superficial. Why can't he advice all his points on democracy, secularism and such aspects to Islamic fundametalists
Thankyou Sir & Madam for the enlightenment on Rahulji !!
Wow this means he will do or go to any extent just to defeat BJP ,he can even sell this Country in opposition to BJP .So much hate comming from someone who calls himself secular and socialist,these type of snakes are the biggest enemy of India.
Oh my god he speaks with such a clearty
Even Allah couldn’t speak with fraction of this clarity in Quran, so tons of Hadith and Sira and army of scholars are needed to compile and decode Quran. Despite that there are hosts of sects and sectarian wars.
People who have dedicated their lives to spread Left Liberal propaganda usually are quite eloquent. The more eloquent these Leftists are, the more eloquent they are till they come in power. Only then they spew venom.
He is a muslim
He was good as a neutral Psephologist. He stated he is a politician, which comes to him naturally. Couldn't understand his reference as RSS-BJP. During Manmohan Singh govt, an elected PM who is only accountable to the parliament, was reporting outside to the Congress president on policy matters. Please listen to Barua interview held 2 months back. Yogendra Yadav doesn't seem like a politically neutral voice any more. I have followed his Swarajya channel, and given the persistent dislike and bitter taste with which he used to talk against govt policy, looked to be a biased personal vengeance. Turning Personal Vengeance (read the Times of India reporting on raids at his family hospital) to settle score politically is not reflective of being a great talker. Oratory doesn't come with language or clarity in your talk. It requires Grace to accept and acknowledge good policies of his disliked govt. I lost him completely when on a TV channel he was emoting Congress should die. He can't wash it out with his explanations now. He is hoping from Congress to JD to AAP... His involvement into Kisan Morcha was clearly liked like he was bought and had a personal vendatta. This was a very meek podcast
Yogendra ji has fallen so much that he finds Rahul Gandhi a sincere and intelligent person. Laughable. How would YogendraYadav comment on 2014 interview of Rahul by Arnab Goswami on Times Now?
You can listen to him for hours bcoz of his articulation skills & wisdom which comes from his experience of ground ! Great personality.
Love Yogendra Yadavji. The most thoughtful person...
Proud Of Our PM Modiji... 2024 is again for Modi
Good insights of a very learned, humble political mind in Yogendra Yadav. India needs more such people.
Concerted effort to relaunch Rahul Gandhi....
That surprises. Person of his belief trying to resurrect character like Rahul? I can understand his hatred for BJP and Modi but then Rahul?
The same burka Dutt, reported/helped on live cam to pakistan, during indo-pqk war
Thank you, Barqa for this interview. Listening an honest person is a happy thing.
Honest person 😂😂😂😂
Yogendra Yadav should join INDIA alliances this time to boost the alliance. Politicians should learn from this great gentleman, down to earth human being, very very sensible person. We need this kind of people at the helm of indian politics. Right to be the PM of India. I always enjoy his interviews. Hats off to him.
Lol he cant get 100 votes in 100 seats
It is verbal diarrhoea.
He is part of India bro
@@bharatdave6288is you here for drink or eat that shit
I came here to listen to just one story.....how & why he was kicked out of AAP......Arvind Kejriwal had taken the right decision......
😂😂
I also came to see the comments for multi faceted multi talented YY
Looks so funny. Both of them trying to look innocent like child.
Still Converted in mind just name reconverted ...Mr salim
If BJP has zero contribution to Indian struggle then what contribution present Congreman has? How long will try to reap benefit of your ancestors ro whom you have disowned? Present Congress has nothing to do with people like Paterl, Rajendra Prasad etc. Present Congress is oure Dynast party for a family. And by the way has Congress has always tried to deminish contribution from non Congress like Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and other revolutionary.
History matters. The history of BJP involves people not accepting the Indian Flag, telling people to fight with the British in the war.
@ Yogendra, pls see Punjab and Bihar, they have adopted native language Effect is those state students are unemployed else where People speak from irovry tower
"Equal distace from all religions" is a great idea. But look at the hypocrisy. He talks about intervening in Hinduism regarding untouchability, bu carefully avoids talkkng about intervening in Islam about banning bad practices about treatment of women. Hypocrisy and blatant pro muslim acts like this are the reason for failure of YY brand of secularism
Great interview indeed. Always a pleasure to listen to Yagendraji.
17:09 he describes himself liberal, progressive. Height of self flattering.
He lives in a dream world
I want to watch him after 2024 , I just want to watch him cry 😂😂😂😂
Barkha was clueless when yogendra yadav started prasing rahul intellectualy
I’m not sure that I understand Barkha. Specially when she wanted a Yogendra to mention ‘some good things’ about BJP towards the end, which looked to balance the story But, I’m kind of beginning to like Yogendra Yadav. Especially as he talks of the core of his philosophy being close to preamble of Constitution, his Yatra, and his recent speech at Nagpur detailing his vision of India’s future path.
He is learning politics as he said. Soon he will join Congress or support them at least.
@@7hills812 The spirit of the Constitution had them - secular and socialist - embedded in it. When we say ‘sab ka saath, sab ka Vikas’ today, we mean that.
@@7hills812 read the National Anthem, and the next paragraphs as well. It starts with ‘aharaha tava ahvan pracharita, suni tava udar vani/ Hindu Bouddha Sikh Jain Parasik Musalaman Christiani’ Written about 100 years ago. That’s the Secular Spirit. That’s India, Bharat 🇮🇳
A person whonwas named Salim as a hobby, I don't think this is normal.. His parents might be great fans of Mughals..
Salim suits him more even now
Yeh toh Chatur lombdi hai. Iske Behkave mein a jao toh kabhi Nigal jayega Samajh nahin aayega.
Respect for this man goes up a few notches each time you listen to him!
Only fools can respect this smart ass
That u r a fan of Barkha shows ur IQ
Lol the idiot can’t get 10000 votes
Clowns like you make me laugh 😂😂😂😂😂
YY is now a complete politician and that too a congress man.
Bizarre,one was cong bakth,another is bjp hater,now reviewing their fast .not at all convincing.
His opinion on Rahul! So naive of him? If he finds Rahul not power hungry he is either a fool innocent or is a big hipocrat.
Brilliant interview. Nuanced discussion and acceptance of different views and thoughts.
Excellent interview. Deep dive into the makeup of an important political thinker and practitioner and a prominent actor in future of politics of India. Both the interviewer and interviewee are getting better in their ideas and their exposition with every episode
Politics aside, the respect for even people who have “wronged” him is so admirable. A gentleman out and out
He doesn’t respect them because he is a kind and a forgiving person. He needs them to counter the current central power. He is the crook of the highest order.
Burkha and Saleem yadav should collaborate and write a Film Script for bollywood. So much of bullshit in first 10 Minutes .. alternatively saleem yadav and burkha should marry and name their chikdren amar akbar anthony.
What a scam this guy is!!! A scam only second to Kejru.
The only well spoken Yadav i have come across 😂
Rahul is Nehru, Ambedkar, Marxist, Almost Vivekanand 😆 Vote ke liye sab kar lenge.
Yogendra ji you love your country do something, please join the Congress
Can not find anything more funny than this. Person having deep rooted opposition to corruption of Congress to be advised to join Congress?
This absolute acting and script that he has prepared of being named as Salim isn’t it equivalent to a Modi selling his story of chaiwala . I mean there is no solid proof of this but it’s brilliant story telling
Why do not go to Ganga Nagar and clear your doubt and bring the truth to public domain?
Andolanjeevi
Nice hearing him though not agree with him at all. BJP bashing and Rahul bhakt? Expected better stuff.
Yogendra Yadav family also experienced Sar tan se juda 😅
PR management exercise for RaGa
Great interview. Whatever Yogeshji wishes about, Tamilnadu already has it in abundance, thanks to our stalwarts like Anna, Periyar, MGR, Karunanidhi, and now Stalin. That is why, BJP finds it doubly difficult to push its fake Hinduvta ideology into Tamilnadu, which gets blunted at the very initial stage itself. There are of course shortcomings with the 2 dravidian parties but those are not hate related or dividing society.
good to know that there is strong opposition to the daku bjps as it must in a democracy........if we still are a democracy, as opposed to a goondutvocracy
Stalin insulting hinduism is also hate mo gering dear 😂
@@nishadpatle3611 Udayanidhi Stalin never targeted Hindus. If that was the case, the entire Hindus in Tamilnadu would have raised their objection. He only targeted some so called sanadana hindus who were illegally exploiting hinduism for their benefit. DMK or ADMK has never been against true Hindus and it never will.
Stalwarts..😂😂😂😂😂.. when you are a midget you see other mediocre people as stalwarts..
And dead tamils in shri lanka
What is so great or glorious about this story as you are trying to portray, Barkha ji
Why is this guy being interviewed and why he is given any space on KZhead and national TV. If he stands for election anywhere in India, he will lose his deposit. Such person in politics has only nuisance value.
Sir, too much idealistic and near perfect answers dont look real....just a humble feedback...
He not idealistic at all. How can on earth join Rahul in his Bharat Jodo yatra when he and other Aaptards political existence depend on opposing Congress corruption. I think his only ideology is to oppose BJP and more specifically Modi.
NICE INTERVIEW
Yogendra ji should visit Israel and try to end the Israeli Hamas conflict. India refuses to get into chaos.
Good conversation with great ideology, insight and conviction
Thank you Yogender.....for being yourself ❤
Barkha, the 2nd half of the interview seemed as if both of you let go the formal way of talking. One cant be a saint and run a country of mix of variety of ppl including some saints. I got emotional he said that he will support AAP if India alliance needs to be supported. One cannot run a house of five with just high idiology. Even lord Krishna had to use variety of unusual strategies to help Pandavas fight and win. Lord Krishna used strategies to keep the Pandavas united. I know Aravind is a shrewd strategist with public interest as the priority. But who can deny that no he is the only one who can take on Narender by bringing in everyone together. If AAP had not built and moved with execution of that part of the dream which held him public interest, the country would not have had an opposition like India Alliance today. The opposition make one mistake and you capitalize on it. The opposition will get aggavated and you further capitalize. Good thing is that focus of AAP continues to remain on public interest. While Narender's interest has always been superficial politics which wont last long. BJP lacks educated thinkers the way congress and AAP have. These thinkers keep the roots of the parties grounded " somehow". Thinkers like Yogendra will be a misfit in any party. They are better off being an expert commentator from outside. Such ppl play a very responsible and vital role in democracy by being a third empire.
To what extent is the common man on the street involved in Indian politics? Since the Manmohan Singh government took power, it seems that the BJP made politics a matter of involvement for the masses. The INC apparently is trying to involve the people of India in the same way with their politics. I don't know where the political process is going in India, when I listen to Mr Yadav. He is very opinionated and very precise, on his views of Indian politics. India, being the most populated nation in the world, how many people agree with his views? People think at different levels about their lives, and the political happenings in India, and make their opinions based on that. This has just occurred to me now, while typing out my comment. How is Indian politics helped or hindered by this? How do the opinions of Mr Yadav count in the wider perspective, in this situation? Modi speaks about general aspects of life that people generally agree with. How many people want to know the minutae of policy decisions taken by governments? How does Mr Yadav see himself helping the people of India? He doesn't seem to be speaking in a manner that the people want to understand.
A strange story and quite paradoxical as well. Hard to believe. May be like other politicians he is good at creating stories to hoodwink public 😊
Felt like it was an interview about RG!
I found this salim story so funny .So Muslim killed his grandmother and then his father given his name Salim. So basically he is suggesting if u get attacked by Muslim then to save yourself just converted to islam
🤣🤣🤣
Madam We needed responsible politics like he said. Pl talk about it
It's a paid PR for Rahul...but sadly he'll lose once again
Very interesting and informative interview
हर व्यक्ति को अपने अंदर के नफरत (hate) से खुद लड़ना है...
Now yogendra yadav is supporting congress against whom they filed Fir if he supports thats okay. But if arvind takes a decision llike thus he killed the dream. Hypocrisy
RESPECT !!
this guy has been talking from both sides of his mouth. On one side he says Congress must die but otherside he praise Cong. On one side he says he is for idelogy and otherside he says pragmatism. He is not sure what he really stands for! From this interview, he comes off as person who is very weak; he keep blaming himself on many occaisons. Lastly, he has been pronouncing doom day since 2014. He is the most over rated politician in India now.
Great interview
What is Salim, Yogendra Yadav saying?? 😊
3rd class person. & See how both r jelling so well.... Adorable.
Lovely talk. Very true indeed what Yogendraji says. A third kind of politics is needed. Which includes all three aspects that we (Opposition) have put in the BJP thaali
Excellent.
Two Sold Out Souls In One Frame
I liked what yadav said, very well analysed this time.
Not at all understood what he is trying to say. He is not saying it not being asked what is wrong with the current govt.
After listening the story of Salim, my opinion on Gandhi got strong. Most destructive person in Indian history ever. He indulged self hatred among Hindus. We are Bharatiya. This country used to be here from centuries. A man born in just 1869 can't be it's father.
The day I saw YY at a Mamata Banerjee Dharna .. I knew he lost it. We can only have sympathy for this lost soul who otherwise is a wonderful gentleman.
Yogendra. The man with the ‘GRAVEYARD LOOK’
Yogendra Yadav - eloquent but lacking cohesion: congress was bad - now its good, anti establishment, whether congress or bjp solves no real problems. a collection of failures - failed to keep AAP in check, failed to keep the farmers movement in check confused between principles and pragmatism - lacks objectivity Such people are the real danger. they seem to stand for something but stand for nothing.
Can any one who love his country expect fair discussion ftom those carry only anti modi anti hindu agenda.Yoginder desperately looking for diffetent anti modi plateforms to vent his frustration as big looser. AAP, Swarjya party, JNU ,kissan protests and now finding some relevance in rahul's desh bachao yatra.Dobi ka ----na ghar ka na ghat ka.
Yogendra yadav ugar coated animal actions speak more than words
Whenever yogendra yadav speaks i feel like my eyelids are getting heavy...a calm takes over..m out like a light in secs.😁
so sad after eloquently saying what anti-BJP parties has given up...he again talks in binaries about reclaiming Nationalism, religion and Culture... There is no tendency to think its shared value of the people of the country...,,,enough said.
👌👌👍
We Indians must avoid pak ISI agent Barkha dutt 's any of Tv debate or Tv shows.
Meetha , matlab bahut meetha meetha bolta hai
Yogendra does not understand what India's real problems are. It is economy. If India's wants to remove poverty, it needs huge economy that only capitalism can provide. Fraknly I think Modi is socialist by heart. I do not recall selling public businesses in Gujarat by Modi. I am looking for real capitalist as India's PM who get rid of most of the laws based on religion and caste and gives people property rights. That is when India' s poverty will be gone. Socialism creates free loaders and lazy people and undeserving people gets free stuff that g\hard workng people creates. Very discrimatory.
This Salim has so much animosity towards Hinduism by calling himself a liberal
Never expected yogendra ji to be lying for a corruption head like Rahul
What a wonderful conversation all kinds of pontification against BJP without invoking a word about Muslims against whom the politics of BJP is staged. Marvellous!
why do you call this conversation 'pontification'? Did you run out of vocabulary or just want to be unnecessarily showy?
BJP/RSS had no part in India's freedom struggle. They were, are and continue to work towards their 18th century agenda of Hindutva. They have only nuisance value in India's democracy and the aspirations of it's people. No further analysis needed to understand BJP....sadly, every citizen is paying for the acts of this organisation 😢
@@Liz-vn1ikWhy was YoYa ji kicked on the rare by Kejriwal ?
2 people who proudly flaunt their caste names 'dutt' and 'yadav' are speaking about socialism and stopping divisions. yadav-ji changed his name from Salim to his now name during Congress/Nehru's days when India was 'secular'! So many contradictions that border into hipocrisy! the over appeasement of the 2nd largest Majority religion at the cost of rest just to garner votes has to stop!
Your opinion, I respect.
Truly learned politician.
