Politics for Dummies

Politics for Dummies

Radio One - HT Smartcast



Why do we, the young Indians, need to understand politics? Because we are the future of our country and we need to represent it in a manner that is well-informed, sensitive and intelligent. Also because, understanding how events around the world affect our country from a historical, economical and political standpoint, is a lot of fun! Don't agree?

Tune into Politics for Dummies with RJ Aniket from Radio One and Ambassador KP Fabian, an Indian Diplomat, who served in the IFS from the crucial years of '64 till '00. In this podcast Aniket, our obvious student asks all those questions we would rather not ask out of the fear of judgement and Fabian, the forever professor, makes learning cool.

This is a Radio One production, brought to you by HT Smartcast.
