Recently,Mr.Thapar has interviewed Mr.Arjun Minister,HRD Minister(Govt. of India) on the burning issue of Reservations. Mr.Singh was almost literally teased with statistics and data and also the most notable thing in the interview is that Mr.Minister did not had any definitive answer to the questions raised by Thapar regarding the efficacy and the need of the reservations in the modern india.
Media has termed that Mr.Singh was eaten alive in this interview.
karan’s way of putting the questions to elicit the actual mindset/perspective of the interviewee is always awesome. Fantastic. I seriously enjoy karan’s ineterview.
