This week on NL Hafta, Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal and Jayashree Arunachalam are joined by historian S Irfan Habib.

In the context of Fabindia’s ad campaign “Jashn-e-Riwaz”, which the company withdrew after backlash, Irfan points out that Urdu is not a religious language. Abhinandan talks about the arrest of Aryan Khan, the Narcotics Control Bureau’s visit to Mannat, and the lack of support extended by big names in Bollywood.

The discussion also spans Amarinder Singh’s new plans and the controversy surrounding Gandhi and Savarkar. Tune in to the full podcast: https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/10/23/hafta-351-fabindias-ad-controversy-aryan-khans-arrest-savarkar-and-gandhi
