What is equality? Is equality just an unattainable ideal? Or is it a hoax to make everyone feel good about themselves? Also, did our hosts waste a lot of time on a Shikara wondering what to call our guest?
How to Citizen SEASON 2 has arrived to deal with all your existential angst!
This season, we're going BIG. And what can be bigger than flying down to Kashmir & making Omar Abdullah read a 7th grade CBSE civics chapter? The answer is nothing.
In the first episode, our hosts Meghnad S & Shreyas Manohar read civics with coffee nerd and one of the coolest people on Twitter, Omar Abdullah. Wait, did we mention he was the former CM of the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir? Little details.
They discuss Chapter 1 titled "On Equality". The discussions meander from Equality in Indian democracy to caste politics to Pegasus to Omar schooling his school teachers.
Enjoy this full of banter episode!
