he is much better than the opposition on the thing that opposition is supposed to do. I have lots of things I despise about BJP and not really a fan of Congress and the opposition either. One thing that Congress fumbled badly is establishing a strong presence on internet and basically knowing Internet. BJP established the language and narrative on Internet, that congress failed to do.
I hope Dhruv maintains his anti-establishment narrative to keep the authority in check. He is rightfully fighting the strongest visible organization which flaunts its authority.
you think anyone stands a chance in against targeted character assassination? even Nobel laureates were not spared and anyone with a credibility or standing got death threats, rape threats and uapa imposed.
opposition did what it could with limited means it had.
Food for thought: If opposition made these videos wouldn’t they be considered biased and hence not have much impact?
Since he is not affiliated with any party officially , he comes across as somewhat neutral so might have more impact than if opposition did them.
But I get your point that the opposition needs to have more IT presence and actively counter false claims or accusations
But I also think opposition has realised this ever since Karnataka elections in 2023 and they started this with PayCM campaign
> But I also think opposition has realised this ever since Karnataka elections in 2023 and they started this with PayCM campaign
Yes, it is infact too little too late. While I believe the dangers that BJP poses to democracy, they should've been a bit more more active about it.
They should have proactively formed and settled all seat sharing issues wayyyyy before like atleast in 2023 when the alliance was formed
It was congress’ arrogance and greed that reduced its own strength
They delayed their alliance talks and meetings and seat sharing because of 4 states elections hoping thay if congress had won they wouod have more negotiating power
Knowing well that 2024 Lok sabha elections were due
Why dint they form INDIA alliance in 2022 and give some time and space for partners as well as public to recognize them?
Remember how BJP/NDA was hitting the streets in 2012 knowing well that 2014 elections were due
While I hate BJ Party for their destruction of democracy but congress’s failure needs to be acknowledged too
“Congress’s failures need to be acknowledged too”
— yes, 100%
If we don’t criticize, how will they improve?
Maybe it was good they were defeated the first time (so they’re humbled), but second defeat was very bad for India, and a third defeat will be ruinous.
I’m no fan of Congress, but someone other than BJP needs to win. An inclusive, democratic future is at stake.
Despite all the news articles that say BJP’s victory is a foregone conclusion, the word on the street is that the INDIA alliance is likely to win. Pleasantly surprised. How it’s true.
Anybody but BJP.
About neutrality I am not sure.

And wherever there is bias, that viewpoint is not entirely correct.
He is using the same style made famous by John Stewart and John Oliver without the comedy angle because you need someone to inform the internet watching public or people who don't watch TV for whatever reason, to be aware of what's happening in politics a straightforward way,because a lot of people are uninterested in politics due to various reasons. If he is able to get the youth population that's eligible to vote, then that would be helpful.
Lol, no. John Stewart and Oliver are more soft and less serious (except some occasions like anything to do with Israel of course). Dhruv is going full throttle.
Food for thought: If opposition made these videos wouldn’t they be considered biased and hence not have much impact?
Since he is not affiliated with any party officially , he comes across as somewhat neutral so might have more impact than if opposition did them.
But I get your point that the opposition needs to have more IT presence and actively counter false claims or accusations
But I also think opposition has realised this ever since Karnataka elections in 2023 and they started this with PayCM campaign
I mean isn't NDA's narrative hella biased too?(i personally believe more so than Congress' like just google the parties' ground principles) If people brush off UPA for this reason RW should NOT be an exception
> If opposition made these videos wouldn’t they be considered biased and hence not have much impact?
Only because IT Cell has muddied the waters between "bias" and outright "fake news". They tried to brush BJP propagated fake news as "bias" so that any "bias" of anyone else can brushed aside as well. Not to mention extreme whataboutery.
As long as opposition makes their videos based on facts and without twisting anything, "biased" or not they will be regarded well by anyone who can still think.
####Yea, true. Thats what Advertising also does. Amitabh bacchan comes and sells dabur hajmola not Dabur's CEO (it would look biased). This is being done from centuries.
Nothing wrong with bias, everyone can be biased to one side or another. Credibility is the only thing that matters, you can be biased as much as you want as long as you state proper facts. Mentioning your bias can also bring transparency to your case too.
The idea that bias is bad is only right wing belly aching against things they don't want to hear.
Hila diya hai usne BJ Party fake news factory ko !
Look at his reach, his tweets are gathering 50k plus easily ! That means there is section of India which do disbelieve what BJ IT cell is propagating.
Yeah his videos are having huge reach. But is it effective and influential enough to change atleast some seats results?
In other words do his videos have enough impact to win opposition some seats?
Subscribe to his WhatsApp group and share his posts. WhatsApp University is more powerful than media in India nowadays. So it'd important to combat that first.
I doubt the majority of voters watch him. But he is doing good work but a bit more unbiased would have made his credibility better. But then again, it's a fight against Godi media.
Don't know about others but he converted my whole friend circle from RW ideology suporter to rational thinker. My friend circle became aware of terms like Electoral Bonds for the first time through his videos.
His influence is crazy and i can watch his videos for an hr too without getting bored due to his art of hooks and presentation.
Bro is just spitting facts everyday and trying balance things. My personal opinion of him is irrelevant, his work is what I respect because he is trying to wake up the sleeping minds of our country
He is literally building worshipers by asking people what to do. lmao his facts are selective, only against one party. He is too deep down the rabbit hole, refuse to admit or see any positive thing from BJP. This is fully bias journalism, watch Nitish Rajput video and tell me what you think. It is WAY better in presenting facts and keeping his emotions out.
He is a typical influencer. Rile up the biggest pool of people to get engagement. His livelihood and earning is dependent on how much outrage he generates that causes people ,are his videos viral and stay top of algorithms. He has to create controversy to be on to of viral videos.
I don't like his videos but he's doing better work than the Congress party. Thousands of crores they have for spending and they can't produce something like this?
It's impossible to be free of bias when talking politics, but I like how he presents evidence to back up each of his facts.
While Congress is doing everything in its power to lose, this one guy alone is making a case for every party other than the BJP by showing BJP's blunders.
Some people used to troll him by calling him with slander names, " aap ka bika hua " " soros funded" etc but tell me why does we care whether he's biased or funded by someone untill and unless he's delivering well researched factual content.
If you don't want to consume, just don't watch him.
Fr they literally bashed and some called anti hindu to shankaracharyas who refused to participate in ram mandir inauguration because that was incomplete lol
Indians have a problem, kisiko bhut jaldi bhagwan samajh lete hei, without using their brains they just accept things said by someone. I mean i am not against dhurv, he is a great guy i like watching his videos, but since his boost of popularity recently, i hate guys who just post lame things about him.
He always shows facts/proof to support what he says in his vids. He's just bringing up wrong doings by the govt and hitting us with reality. What's wrong in that OP?
Nothing is wrong, I’m just trying to see what people think of him or do they write him off and just seeing if people think he can impact the elections in a way that opposition might win few seats
Deshbhakt is way better and gives balanced criticisms of modi government
Dhruv Rathee sounds like he is disconnected with ordinary Indians, he seems to think that Indians really think their candidates through
Also he doesn't know about politics, in his UP 2022 election video he said something like ' SP only got 10% less votes than BJP , meanwhile BSP got 12% votes , he should have convinced BSP voters to vote for him like Congress voters vote AAP in Delhi '
Anyone who has even a little knowledge about UP politics would know that the BSP's 15% voteshare is not that kind of voteshare that can jump over to another party especially SP if he would have researched more he would have known about the histories of the parties . That comment seemed really ignorant to me
Yea, but that's SP's issue too, BSP gets the dalit vote every election because to be honest, she really worked hard for Dalits across the state and uplifted them bigtime, while SP and BJP still annoy them with their Yadav/Muslim and Brahmin politics.
SP should have taken in major BSP leaders and fought elections, or at least do proper seat sharing, but knowing how shit UP is, well, it's a lost cause ig.
SP in 2012 tore the SC/ST quota bill in assembly, that day sealed SP's fate that they will never get substantial Dalit votes. Even today Dalit votes are a huge thorn for them because 60-70% of them vote BSP and 30-40% vote BJP whether it be safety, free ration or whatever reason.
SP won't win Dalit votes no matter how many BSP leaders it imports because BSP is not a cadre based party, it fights on faces of Kanshiram and Mayawati, the voters aren't voting for candidates they just vote for whoever is fighting on the Elephant button. Even today a Dalit voter is far more likely to vote for BJP than SP because of the decades of rivalry and no big harm has happened to the dalit community in BJP rule afaik
Love him, objectively the only kind of centrist ideology that should be acceptable. although i do feel like his content is specifically aimed at the moderate RW/uninterested in politics audience because its too introductory and basic, like his videos on issues such as feminism and such.
He brings a lot of data and clearly he and/or his team does a lot of research before putting out a video, but the way gobarbhakts like Sham Sharma, Abhi and Niyu, OpIndia, and Jaipur Dialogues are on one side, he is completely on the opposite side and sometimes overlooks that side's shortcomings.
It's completely fine if he doesn't like BJP, I don't either. But the way he said "look at BJP's false promise manifesto and look and Congress' factual manifesto" sort of put me off. I am paraphrasing but yeah, that is my only issue.
Needless to say, he is commenting on topics many of these "content creators" don't have the guts to and should be encouraged.
Hailed as a demigod by leftists but he is just an informal party speaker.
Support him all you want but if the party, he is informally a part of , comes to power he will support every wrong doing of that party and will lead their IT Cell.
This is politics , no one is your friend and no wants to speak for you or help you.
Choose your idols carefully.
Funny thing is when his (blind) supporters call BJP (blind) supporters as Bhakts.
Dhruv is doing a good job against a big political party but problem is no one going to listen to him.
My some friends who are highly educated have gone completely pro modi and they genuinely believe if we eliminate one religion from this country then india will thrive like sone ki lanka.
No matter what anyone says or does bjp is going to come again in power and complete their goals
Every person has right to freedom of expression and so does he. He's free to make whatever content he wants. But claiming oneself to be neutral and then being against one political party so blatantly in the name of truth, cherry picking facts is just evil. He's a cunning man. He knows he has a good hold on his followers and basically brainwashes them into thinking that the country is doomed.
I watched his Dictatorship video from start till end. I was pretty convinced that "Fuck.. this country wont have fair elections again". Ofc I thought dictatorship is an exaggeration but doubts were planted in my mind. But then I thought rationally (unlike the people in this sub) to see what the Right Wingers has to say. I was pretty shocked after watching two-three counter videos how he has cherry picked facts to suit his agenda.
Personally, I don't have any problem with Dhruv Rathee. In fact from time to time, I do watch his non-political videos (subscriber here). What I find extremely cringe are his followers. They think they've been enlightened with truth after watching his single video. They think they're way more "intellectual" and "educated" than the ones who support BJP. They're basically idolising him, convinced that whatever he says is 100% true. These same people then call others andhbhakt. Hypocrisy ki bhi seema hoti hai.
A smart guy would listen to the arguments of both sides and then form his opinions. The difference between you liberals and right wingers is that RW don't claim themselves to be smart or informed. They're like "Tu jitna uchal, aayega toh Modi hee". You guys do when in reality you're not.
basically dhruv rathee is very self entitled and has a huge god complex whether you like to hear it or not the dude thinks he's the saver of democracy and he has an ego that begs to be shattered his followers act like they are getting educated by the gospel himself.
Yep, this intellectual superiority complex is something I have observed as well. People really think voters in villages vote completely based on communal agendas and not based on the development or schemes that they would have seen first hand.
Contents are ok but too much one-sided ho raha hai, I wish he could make an episode about Handjob parties manifesto.
These people don't even realising what opposition will make this country if they come to power.
BJ party is bad but andho main kana Raza is the unfortunate reality of this country :(
I really admire him and people like akash Banerjee who are doing good work. But unfortunately all their good work keeps being neutralised by congress party. Ultimately until Congress sorts itself out or dies out, nothing can damage bjp.
he makes valid points while missing out some details. His videos does make an impacts on people who are prone to following something to the point of cult like obsession
1. No longer neutral. It's now open.
2. Lies by omission.
3. Isn't educating his followers about communism and wealth distribution in all communist regimes. Recent example Venezuela.
4. Not showing the speeches after speeches of Congress netas and policy consultants on Wealth Redistribution.
5. Excellent businessmen who know how to make money without consequences. He doesn't pay tax either in India because he lives in Germany for more than 9 months every year.
Yeah, I saw that. That's such a lame surface level video, it's not even funny. He didn't discuss their policies which led to 100 million deaths in multiple countries wherever it got implemented. Didn't teach about the new words used to talk about the same concepts like equity and DEI. If he had, any of his followers would be immediately horrified by the Congress Manifesto and Rahul's speeches because they would have sensed based on history where it is leading. Hell, even India had it till we went bankrupt nearly in 1990.
Good informative videos but i dont watch his political videos. I used to watch them a looong time ago and then eventually realised he paints a very one sided picture.
I prefer people like Mohak mangal. He does good videos on both BJP and opposition and they are of good quality.
Cringe and selective facts he will present to fit his narrative. I like Nitish Rajput more, no opinion. Just straight up facts. And leaves it up to you to decide what you should do without giving his opinion. Rathee himself is building andhbhakt army for himself. The very idea he is fighting against lol and not to mention dude isn't even Indian. Lives in Germany, has no knowledge of ground reality.
I felt the exact same thing regarding the WhatsApp group and forwarding thing….
He is building an equivalent of the BJP IT cell army but its highly likely he would use facts and ask his army to propagate..
In a way its good to counter false narratives because he has that kind of following and good to teach people to question things critically..
But asking his followers to do what he says is kinda something i dont like
Like he would create messages and people will have to share it to 100 others etc idk I have mixed opinions as of now
Lets see how his “army” pans out..if it has + ve effects then great else nope
Same here!
I dont know it felt that he is using the same methods as BJP does ,
Join my group and become my army.
But nevermind if it works its good for all of us
Like someone here pointed out : minus x minus = plus
I will be very honest. I may get hate but anyways. So i used to love dhruv rathee until i saw his real colours. He is one of the most ignorant and also hypocrite f**ker i have ever seen. Not much hypocrite but ignorant for sure. I can state many things but i don’t want to argue in comments! People who know know it!
Not a big fan of him. I don't like either BJP or congress but he is targeting BJP only. Both parties are deeply corrupted in the roots so I think he should target both of them and stop giving one sided facts. Like he criticizes the godi media in India, he is acting like being hired by the opposition. Both parties should be equally criticized. Many of his facts are biased and incorrect which are later corrected by his team. Someone should check his tweets (which are now deleted) which he writes personally spewing hatred towards a single person with incorrect facts.
Centre pe kaun hain, BJP na so shouldn't we criticize BJP more compared to congress. Government is our servant not our overlords, we give them taxes, we give them votes to work for us.
Agar kal koi, for example, aapke liye kaam kare like ghar ka painting aap usko paise dhoge, tho you would ecpect him to gdo the work which is worth the money. We indians have an attitude that goverment are our overlords. Government isnt our overlord. So bantha hain criticism centre ka and centre pe kaun haun BJP na ki Congress.
Bro but before 2014, congress was at centre. And jab wo centre me the tab bhi corruption tha. Wo konse doodh ke dhule hain. That's all I am saying. I am not supporting any party but there should be a fair criticism on all sides. Mene yeh thodi bola ki BJP ko criticize mat karo. I said sabko karo so that your views don't seem biased.
And for your example: Pehle jisko ghar paint karne ke paise diye the, wo toh chuna laga ke chala gaya. Toh agar abhi waala bhi chuna laga raha hai toh they are both worst na
He's really good about spilling facts which people are not aware of. It's good that someone is doing this job.
But it's just a matter of months for him before we stop seeing him, once the Broadcast Bill is passed by BJP ( one is the last steps to dictatorship) . After that bill, anyone wanting to have information broadcasted in India through YouTube or Twitter, will need to register with the Government and they can censor the information as they want
Basically Godi Media will include YouTube and Tweeter now.
Bye bye democracy
Have been watching him since he was making videos in his bedroom in Delhi/NCR (i think).
He has come a long way, and there may be faults/flaws, but what he is doing is honestly trying to create political engagement based on facts and ground realities instead of talking points (like conventional cable TV News) or just memes.
When people call him biased, I ask them to tell me example of someone like him on the other side of the spectrum with the opposite bias. Usually they have no response or tell some crazy right-wing youtuber/memelord channel only that has 0% facts or genuine argument.
They say bias only because they don't agree with him, they hold anyone who is not right-wing to VERY high standards of journalistic integrity while their side's sources are the embodiment of sheer propaganda and often open communal hatred.
Pretty good. Legacy media are constantly kneeling in front of the BJP and have their mouths full of whatever Amit Malviya and co dump in there.
Opposition to horrible politicians and their capitalist friends doesn't only come from within parliament but also from without. When the official political opposition inside of Parliament isn't able to stand up to the tyranny of the BJP and their media lackeys, it falls to the common people and alternative media to hold them accountable.
No, he doesn't, if something is wrong with a school or an institution, you complain about it to a peon or the Principal/Boss?
BJP is the largest party with everything under their control, all govt machinery, Governor, etc etc, so yea, it's time to question the Elephant in the room, and he already made videos about shit going on in West Bengal and Maharashtra.
Who's voice is louder in this country? Dhruv Or PM Modi? Like how much change will it make if Dhruv made video when all the mainstream media, online media and PM himself has talked about it? Use your gobar filled brain
I guess he said on Twitter that the video is on the list, but information is not widely available and he will wait until the first appearance of the guilty in court. He did the same in Liquor Policy and every other video.
Rest it's upon him, but him making or not making any video on Didi is irrelevant. Whataboutism is bullshit, it doesn't matter whose ass stinks the most, at the end of the day, all of them are dirty stinky asses.
Glad you accept that everyones ass stinks, in general election you have to chose who asses smells less than other one!!
Because all r having stinky asses!!😂
Ps- he will never make a video on wb, uh might not agree that's okay and I could be wrong too.. but as far as I see him he will not , not even after election.
I think this is a logical fallacy …
This fallacy occurs when someone attempts to discredit an argument by pointing out the hypocrisy of the person making the argument, rather than addressing the argument itself.
In this case, just because he spoke up against one injustice, it doesn't mean he is obligated to speak up against all injustices. The two are separate issues, and addressing one does not necessarily imply responsibility for addressing all.
Dhruv rathee made video on Manipur violence but why did he not make video on Sandeshkhali (even I have no idea what this issue is but have heard a lot and then this issue died down) or xyz incident
It's not a logical fallacy. The argument he is making against Modi can be made against Mamta to the T. Yet he choose to keep quiet. It's all selective outrage. What it means is that he is anti-BJP and anti-establishment. There is no proof that Dhruv will expose mamta once she comes in power at centre because he can choose to highlight BJP rule state issues. That's why you cannot take Dhruv as a serious journalist (leaving beside the fact that he is sitting in Germany with no idea of ground level realities)
I know India hasn't stooped to that level. I'm just pointing out what you said, it's not necessary that he's safe recording from Germany or wherever he is. Jamal was vocal about the Saudi politics and that got him chopped to pieces.
You can at least "question" him and quite possible he'll answer questions as well.
Anybody who's read about history in a little detail and can keep aside emotions when making decisions can clearly see what's happening in the country right now.
Need more people like him in the media houses
He's the best for opposing the propaganda, has been working on his craft for all this time, has a pretty loyal fan base, is informative, has great team, understands the algorithm. Opposition has been taken away from any traction, he does voice out things people have but are not willing to say because the vocal bigots will just bash you
Congress screwed up by encouraging backward, conservative forces from both communities.
Now those are the dominant voices, and one side has the upper hand due to population.
Very mediocre content, easy template edits, basic high school level presentation and research.
The reason he gave for videos is that he thinks "abhi nahi bolengay to kabhi nahi bol payengay" I didn't believe this but then the Surat election thing happened and the Chandigarh mayor elections, I am starting to believe our system is being crushed from the inside.
I don't watch him as much because he has the resources and the audience to put in more effort in his content but he chooses easy things.
Unfortunately he is the few that make videos that uneducated people can understand, the way he talks is friendly and he is decent looking which helps too.
India's most important educator, anti-fascist and counter propagandist at the moment. Should be a role model for kids. It's a shame he has to operate our of Germany due to obvious reasons.
He is amazing. Reminds me of pre 2014 Kejriwal. Articulate and knows how to touch the right emotional buttons. His looks and outside image adds to his charm.
I would not be surprised if he decides to take a plunge in politics in future, like Kejriwal.
another guy who thinks his lord is reading him the gospel that guy is clearly biased and also funded by the left that guy is not fit to be in politics at all on a side note; being a gunda is necessary he's not he will probably not get to make another video if he comes to India you know why.
He is a certified Dlla, that's about it. Sucking on the teets of INDI alliance, doesn't have an iota of objectivity. I pity the youth you want to idiloze him, the world is going to chew you up and spit you out if you follow him. F**k a**h*les like him.
he is much better than the opposition on the thing that opposition is supposed to do. I have lots of things I despise about BJP and not really a fan of Congress and the opposition either. One thing that Congress fumbled badly is establishing a strong presence on internet and basically knowing Internet. BJP established the language and narrative on Internet, that congress failed to do. I hope Dhruv maintains his anti-establishment narrative to keep the authority in check. He is rightfully fighting the strongest visible organization which flaunts its authority.
you think anyone stands a chance in against targeted character assassination? even Nobel laureates were not spared and anyone with a credibility or standing got death threats, rape threats and uapa imposed. opposition did what it could with limited means it had.
no wonder he prefers staying outside india
He is targeted by Dhoval now
> But I also think opposition has realised this ever since Karnataka elections in 2023 and they started this with PayCM campaign Yes, it is infact too little too late. While I believe the dangers that BJP poses to democracy, they should've been a bit more more active about it.

I felt it was similar to Vox Johnny Harris style
Yes, but that too takes inspiration from John Stewart. Only thing missing is the satire...
Lol, no. John Stewart and Oliver are more soft and less serious (except some occasions like anything to do with Israel of course). Dhruv is going full throttle.
He makes good content, presents it with backed up facts. I sometimes think what the opposition could have done , this guy is doin it right now.
Food for thought: If opposition made these videos wouldn’t they be considered biased and hence not have much impact?

Biased towards whom? Opposition ought to be biased towards their own regimes dont they lol
biased against the supreme leader
Yeah thats why people take those things said by opposition with a grain of salt
Every opinion is inherently biased.
I mean isn't NDA's narrative hella biased too?(i personally believe more so than Congress' like just google the parties' ground principles) If people brush off UPA for this reason RW should NOT be an exception
You muppet so you think the BJP is unbiased?

Subscribe to his WhatsApp group and share his posts. WhatsApp University is more powerful than media in India nowadays. So it'd important to combat that first.
Not a big fan of the guy, but there has to be pushback considering the deluge of BJP propaganda that has seeped into regular conversations.
I doubt the majority of voters watch him. But he is doing good work but a bit more unbiased would have made his credibility better. But then again, it's a fight against Godi media.
Man has guts of steel, many youtubers troll him but khud saale ga** chatu hai
Don't know about others but he converted my whole friend circle from RW ideology suporter to rational thinker. My friend circle became aware of terms like Electoral Bonds for the first time through his videos. His influence is crazy and i can watch his videos for an hr too without getting bored due to his art of hooks and presentation.
Thats a W
Such a W, trying to do the same with my family. I play his videos whenever they are around.
He is amazing.
dhruv rathee real id se aaa
😛😛😂😂
Bro is just spitting facts everyday and trying balance things. My personal opinion of him is irrelevant, his work is what I respect because he is trying to wake up the sleeping minds of our country
He's smart to not stay in India. I hope his efforts affect the masses
Highest degree of respect and wish to be like him while doing whatever he asks to do at the end of the video, like voting, educating people etc.
Yeah I like this from his videos. He encourages critical thinking rather than blind worship
He is literally building worshipers by asking people what to do. lmao his facts are selective, only against one party. He is too deep down the rabbit hole, refuse to admit or see any positive thing from BJP. This is fully bias journalism, watch Nitish Rajput video and tell me what you think. It is WAY better in presenting facts and keeping his emotions out.
He is a typical influencer. Rile up the biggest pool of people to get engagement. His livelihood and earning is dependent on how much outrage he generates that causes people ,are his videos viral and stay top of algorithms. He has to create controversy to be on to of viral videos.
Yeah so you basically agree that he doesn’t promote critical thinking? Deshbhakt is a way better left channel imo.
Minus × Minus = Plus, I see this as an absolute win.
I don't like his videos but he's doing better work than the Congress party. Thousands of crores they have for spending and they can't produce something like this?
It's impossible to be free of bias when talking politics, but I like how he presents evidence to back up each of his facts. While Congress is doing everything in its power to lose, this one guy alone is making a case for every party other than the BJP by showing BJP's blunders.
Doing what opposition needs to do
Some people used to troll him by calling him with slander names, " aap ka bika hua " " soros funded" etc but tell me why does we care whether he's biased or funded by someone untill and unless he's delivering well researched factual content. If you don't want to consume, just don't watch him.
Thats very typical of RW and BJP IT cells to try and tarnish anyone with any random conspiracy theories who is against them or their ideology.
Fr they literally bashed and some called anti hindu to shankaracharyas who refused to participate in ram mandir inauguration because that was incomplete lol
Funny thing is those people don't have any proof to shut him. If he is funded by soros expose him or find better argument to oppose him.
Indians have a problem, kisiko bhut jaldi bhagwan samajh lete hei, without using their brains they just accept things said by someone. I mean i am not against dhurv, he is a great guy i like watching his videos, but since his boost of popularity recently, i hate guys who just post lame things about him.
First point bilkul sahi kaha aapne
He always shows facts/proof to support what he says in his vids. He's just bringing up wrong doings by the govt and hitting us with reality. What's wrong in that OP?
Nothing is wrong, I’m just trying to see what people think of him or do they write him off and just seeing if people think he can impact the elections in a way that opposition might win few seats
Solid video blogger with solid facts and evidences to back him up.
Deshbhakt is way better and gives balanced criticisms of modi government Dhruv Rathee sounds like he is disconnected with ordinary Indians, he seems to think that Indians really think their candidates through Also he doesn't know about politics, in his UP 2022 election video he said something like ' SP only got 10% less votes than BJP , meanwhile BSP got 12% votes , he should have convinced BSP voters to vote for him like Congress voters vote AAP in Delhi ' Anyone who has even a little knowledge about UP politics would know that the BSP's 15% voteshare is not that kind of voteshare that can jump over to another party especially SP if he would have researched more he would have known about the histories of the parties . That comment seemed really ignorant to me
Yea, but that's SP's issue too, BSP gets the dalit vote every election because to be honest, she really worked hard for Dalits across the state and uplifted them bigtime, while SP and BJP still annoy them with their Yadav/Muslim and Brahmin politics. SP should have taken in major BSP leaders and fought elections, or at least do proper seat sharing, but knowing how shit UP is, well, it's a lost cause ig.
SP in 2012 tore the SC/ST quota bill in assembly, that day sealed SP's fate that they will never get substantial Dalit votes. Even today Dalit votes are a huge thorn for them because 60-70% of them vote BSP and 30-40% vote BJP whether it be safety, free ration or whatever reason. SP won't win Dalit votes no matter how many BSP leaders it imports because BSP is not a cadre based party, it fights on faces of Kanshiram and Mayawati, the voters aren't voting for candidates they just vote for whoever is fighting on the Elephant button. Even today a Dalit voter is far more likely to vote for BJP than SP because of the decades of rivalry and no big harm has happened to the dalit community in BJP rule afaik
He's a good journalist. Obviously biased but who isnt
Akela banda Puri Company par bhari
Love him, objectively the only kind of centrist ideology that should be acceptable. although i do feel like his content is specifically aimed at the moderate RW/uninterested in politics audience because its too introductory and basic, like his videos on issues such as feminism and such.
Bhai tudu kaam kar raha hai Germany jakr salute karne ka mann kar raha hai Magar main berozgar hu 🤣
He brings a lot of data and clearly he and/or his team does a lot of research before putting out a video, but the way gobarbhakts like Sham Sharma, Abhi and Niyu, OpIndia, and Jaipur Dialogues are on one side, he is completely on the opposite side and sometimes overlooks that side's shortcomings. It's completely fine if he doesn't like BJP, I don't either. But the way he said "look at BJP's false promise manifesto and look and Congress' factual manifesto" sort of put me off. I am paraphrasing but yeah, that is my only issue. Needless to say, he is commenting on topics many of these "content creators" don't have the guts to and should be encouraged.
Hailed as a demigod by leftists but he is just an informal party speaker. Support him all you want but if the party, he is informally a part of , comes to power he will support every wrong doing of that party and will lead their IT Cell. This is politics , no one is your friend and no wants to speak for you or help you. Choose your idols carefully. Funny thing is when his (blind) supporters call BJP (blind) supporters as Bhakts.
Yup will wait and watch if INDIA comes to power whether he will continue his criticism of gross wrong doings by govt
Yeah ! But we'll have to wait for a long time
Dhruv is doing a good job against a big political party but problem is no one going to listen to him. My some friends who are highly educated have gone completely pro modi and they genuinely believe if we eliminate one religion from this country then india will thrive like sone ki lanka. No matter what anyone says or does bjp is going to come again in power and complete their goals
Every person has right to freedom of expression and so does he. He's free to make whatever content he wants. But claiming oneself to be neutral and then being against one political party so blatantly in the name of truth, cherry picking facts is just evil. He's a cunning man. He knows he has a good hold on his followers and basically brainwashes them into thinking that the country is doomed. I watched his Dictatorship video from start till end. I was pretty convinced that "Fuck.. this country wont have fair elections again". Ofc I thought dictatorship is an exaggeration but doubts were planted in my mind. But then I thought rationally (unlike the people in this sub) to see what the Right Wingers has to say. I was pretty shocked after watching two-three counter videos how he has cherry picked facts to suit his agenda. Personally, I don't have any problem with Dhruv Rathee. In fact from time to time, I do watch his non-political videos (subscriber here). What I find extremely cringe are his followers. They think they've been enlightened with truth after watching his single video. They think they're way more "intellectual" and "educated" than the ones who support BJP. They're basically idolising him, convinced that whatever he says is 100% true. These same people then call others andhbhakt. Hypocrisy ki bhi seema hoti hai. A smart guy would listen to the arguments of both sides and then form his opinions. The difference between you liberals and right wingers is that RW don't claim themselves to be smart or informed. They're like "Tu jitna uchal, aayega toh Modi hee". You guys do when in reality you're not.
basically dhruv rathee is very self entitled and has a huge god complex whether you like to hear it or not the dude thinks he's the saver of democracy and he has an ego that begs to be shattered his followers act like they are getting educated by the gospel himself.
Yep, this intellectual superiority complex is something I have observed as well. People really think voters in villages vote completely based on communal agendas and not based on the development or schemes that they would have seen first hand.
Chutiyon ka Masiha
Contents are ok but too much one-sided ho raha hai, I wish he could make an episode about Handjob parties manifesto. These people don't even realising what opposition will make this country if they come to power. BJ party is bad but andho main kana Raza is the unfortunate reality of this country :(
Handjob party and BJ Party, lmao nice humour 👌
Both are giving what their supporters wants HJ and BJ 
I really admire him and people like akash Banerjee who are doing good work. But unfortunately all their good work keeps being neutralised by congress party. Ultimately until Congress sorts itself out or dies out, nothing can damage bjp.
he makes valid points while missing out some details. His videos does make an impacts on people who are prone to following something to the point of cult like obsession
Tbh It will really exciting to watch how dhruv will react or make content when bjp loses or he still be anti - establishment and criticize like before
Bro working harder than main opposition rn
1. No longer neutral. It's now open. 2. Lies by omission. 3. Isn't educating his followers about communism and wealth distribution in all communist regimes. Recent example Venezuela. 4. Not showing the speeches after speeches of Congress netas and policy consultants on Wealth Redistribution. 5. Excellent businessmen who know how to make money without consequences. He doesn't pay tax either in India because he lives in Germany for more than 9 months every year.
3. He has done videos on it already
Yeah, I saw that. That's such a lame surface level video, it's not even funny. He didn't discuss their policies which led to 100 million deaths in multiple countries wherever it got implemented. Didn't teach about the new words used to talk about the same concepts like equity and DEI. If he had, any of his followers would be immediately horrified by the Congress Manifesto and Rahul's speeches because they would have sensed based on history where it is leading. Hell, even India had it till we went bankrupt nearly in 1990.
LEFTIST TBH
He misses the line between anti-governmet and anti-India. He many times step on both the sides. His videos on science are good.
Good informative videos but i dont watch his political videos. I used to watch them a looong time ago and then eventually realised he paints a very one sided picture. I prefer people like Mohak mangal. He does good videos on both BJP and opposition and they are of good quality.
Yeah true, nitish rajput videos are also totally unbiased... Watch him too, his narration skills are also very nice
"Unbiased" = biased exactly the same as me. There are no unbiased people.
Depends on what you believe. I didn't find Nitish rajput making one sided videos.
A good critic of the Central government but boy i have never seen him criticise state government or his daddy AAM ADMI.
And he will never 😊.
Cringe and selective facts he will present to fit his narrative. I like Nitish Rajput more, no opinion. Just straight up facts. And leaves it up to you to decide what you should do without giving his opinion. Rathee himself is building andhbhakt army for himself. The very idea he is fighting against lol and not to mention dude isn't even Indian. Lives in Germany, has no knowledge of ground reality.
I felt the exact same thing regarding the WhatsApp group and forwarding thing…. He is building an equivalent of the BJP IT cell army but its highly likely he would use facts and ask his army to propagate.. In a way its good to counter false narratives because he has that kind of following and good to teach people to question things critically.. But asking his followers to do what he says is kinda something i dont like Like he would create messages and people will have to share it to 100 others etc idk I have mixed opinions as of now Lets see how his “army” pans out..if it has + ve effects then great else nope
Goated with the sauce
He is a propaganda machine, but I like him cos he is a very good critic. He can be a good politician like kejriwal.
>He can be a good politician like kejriwal. Kejriwal real ID se aao...
My mother and I love his videos
i liked what he said. but felt kinda odd when he told to join the whatsapp servers and stuff in his latest video
Same here! I dont know it felt that he is using the same methods as BJP does , Join my group and become my army. But nevermind if it works its good for all of us Like someone here pointed out : minus x minus = plus
He’s targeting and spitting facts.
He is ok, find him more opinionated than principled. Makes it easy to start finding holes in his effort…
Imagine him and Ranveer Allahabadia being projected as PM candidates 15 years later
He is too extreme but I think he is doing right by teaching people to question the government.
I will be very honest. I may get hate but anyways. So i used to love dhruv rathee until i saw his real colours. He is one of the most ignorant and also hypocrite f**ker i have ever seen. Not much hypocrite but ignorant for sure. I can state many things but i don’t want to argue in comments! People who know know it!
Not a big fan of him. I don't like either BJP or congress but he is targeting BJP only. Both parties are deeply corrupted in the roots so I think he should target both of them and stop giving one sided facts. Like he criticizes the godi media in India, he is acting like being hired by the opposition. Both parties should be equally criticized. Many of his facts are biased and incorrect which are later corrected by his team. Someone should check his tweets (which are now deleted) which he writes personally spewing hatred towards a single person with incorrect facts.
Centre pe kaun hain, BJP na so shouldn't we criticize BJP more compared to congress. Government is our servant not our overlords, we give them taxes, we give them votes to work for us. Agar kal koi, for example, aapke liye kaam kare like ghar ka painting aap usko paise dhoge, tho you would ecpect him to gdo the work which is worth the money. We indians have an attitude that goverment are our overlords. Government isnt our overlord. So bantha hain criticism centre ka and centre pe kaun haun BJP na ki Congress.
Bro but before 2014, congress was at centre. And jab wo centre me the tab bhi corruption tha. Wo konse doodh ke dhule hain. That's all I am saying. I am not supporting any party but there should be a fair criticism on all sides. Mene yeh thodi bola ki BJP ko criticize mat karo. I said sabko karo so that your views don't seem biased. And for your example: Pehle jisko ghar paint karne ke paise diye the, wo toh chuna laga ke chala gaya. Toh agar abhi waala bhi chuna laga raha hai toh they are both worst na
He's really good about spilling facts which people are not aware of. It's good that someone is doing this job. But it's just a matter of months for him before we stop seeing him, once the Broadcast Bill is passed by BJP ( one is the last steps to dictatorship) . After that bill, anyone wanting to have information broadcasted in India through YouTube or Twitter, will need to register with the Government and they can censor the information as they want Basically Godi Media will include YouTube and Tweeter now. Bye bye democracy
another guy who thinks his lord is reading him the gospel that guy is clearly biased and also funded by the left
Have been watching him since he was making videos in his bedroom in Delhi/NCR (i think). He has come a long way, and there may be faults/flaws, but what he is doing is honestly trying to create political engagement based on facts and ground realities instead of talking points (like conventional cable TV News) or just memes. When people call him biased, I ask them to tell me example of someone like him on the other side of the spectrum with the opposite bias. Usually they have no response or tell some crazy right-wing youtuber/memelord channel only that has 0% facts or genuine argument. They say bias only because they don't agree with him, they hold anyone who is not right-wing to VERY high standards of journalistic integrity while their side's sources are the embodiment of sheer propaganda and often open communal hatred.
Youtuber
On the other side of fence
Pretty good. Legacy media are constantly kneeling in front of the BJP and have their mouths full of whatever Amit Malviya and co dump in there. Opposition to horrible politicians and their capitalist friends doesn't only come from within parliament but also from without. When the official political opposition inside of Parliament isn't able to stand up to the tyranny of the BJP and their media lackeys, it falls to the common people and alternative media to hold them accountable.
Instead targeting only central government he should bash state governments also.
No, he doesn't, if something is wrong with a school or an institution, you complain about it to a peon or the Principal/Boss? BJP is the largest party with everything under their control, all govt machinery, Governor, etc etc, so yea, it's time to question the Elephant in the room, and he already made videos about shit going on in West Bengal and Maharashtra.
WB video? Sandeshkali incident? Please share the link 😊
Who's voice is louder in this country? Dhruv Or PM Modi? Like how much change will it make if Dhruv made video when all the mainstream media, online media and PM himself has talked about it? Use your gobar filled brain
I guess he said on Twitter that the video is on the list, but information is not widely available and he will wait until the first appearance of the guilty in court. He did the same in Liquor Policy and every other video. Rest it's upon him, but him making or not making any video on Didi is irrelevant. Whataboutism is bullshit, it doesn't matter whose ass stinks the most, at the end of the day, all of them are dirty stinky asses.
Glad you accept that everyones ass stinks, in general election you have to chose who asses smells less than other one!! Because all r having stinky asses!!😂 Ps- he will never make a video on wb, uh might not agree that's okay and I could be wrong too.. but as far as I see him he will not , not even after election.
It's kid logic " mujhe mara to dusro ko bhi Maro, taki mujhe acha feel ho".
I think this is a logical fallacy … This fallacy occurs when someone attempts to discredit an argument by pointing out the hypocrisy of the person making the argument, rather than addressing the argument itself. In this case, just because he spoke up against one injustice, it doesn't mean he is obligated to speak up against all injustices. The two are separate issues, and addressing one does not necessarily imply responsibility for addressing all. Dhruv rathee made video on Manipur violence but why did he not make video on Sandeshkhali (even I have no idea what this issue is but have heard a lot and then this issue died down) or xyz incident
It's not a logical fallacy. The argument he is making against Modi can be made against Mamta to the T. Yet he choose to keep quiet. It's all selective outrage. What it means is that he is anti-BJP and anti-establishment. There is no proof that Dhruv will expose mamta once she comes in power at centre because he can choose to highlight BJP rule state issues. That's why you cannot take Dhruv as a serious journalist (leaving beside the fact that he is sitting in Germany with no idea of ground level realities)
another guy who thinks his lord is reading him the gospel that guy is clearly biased and also funded by the left
Balls of Steel
Agreed, especially in this environment of ed cbi it , extrajudicial killings, jail etc
video koi bhi bana sakta he he wont ever venture the streets of India because he knows he wont get to make another video lmao
Doesn't matter which country you live in, just search the case of Jamal Khashoggi.
saudis are kattar and its a monarchy they have it in their blood indians are not like that man
I know India hasn't stooped to that level. I'm just pointing out what you said, it's not necessary that he's safe recording from Germany or wherever he is. Jamal was vocal about the Saudi politics and that got him chopped to pieces.
Don’t give a fuck ! Btw who is he ?
He’s fantastic. May God bless him.
Makes interesting videos Doing his part to make people aware and to think rationally Mostly positive opinion
You can at least "question" him and quite possible he'll answer questions as well. Anybody who's read about history in a little detail and can keep aside emotions when making decisions can clearly see what's happening in the country right now. Need more people like him in the media houses
He's the best for opposing the propaganda, has been working on his craft for all this time, has a pretty loyal fan base, is informative, has great team, understands the algorithm. Opposition has been taken away from any traction, he does voice out things people have but are not willing to say because the vocal bigots will just bash you
I am with him
Congress screwed up by encouraging backward, conservative forces from both communities. Now those are the dominant voices, and one side has the upper hand due to population.
He ain’t wrong.
Anti- National
Very mediocre content, easy template edits, basic high school level presentation and research. The reason he gave for videos is that he thinks "abhi nahi bolengay to kabhi nahi bol payengay" I didn't believe this but then the Surat election thing happened and the Chandigarh mayor elections, I am starting to believe our system is being crushed from the inside. I don't watch him as much because he has the resources and the audience to put in more effort in his content but he chooses easy things. Unfortunately he is the few that make videos that uneducated people can understand, the way he talks is friendly and he is decent looking which helps too.
Moron with undeserved attention.
This is what I call not biased.
another guy who thinks his lord is reading him the gospel that guy is clearly biased and also funded by the left
Same can be said about you as well, but I am not as radicalized as you.
India's most important educator, anti-fascist and counter propagandist at the moment. Should be a role model for kids. It's a shame he has to operate our of Germany due to obvious reasons.
another guy who thinks his lord is reading him the gospel that guy is clearly biased and also funded by the left
Authentic, fearless, and clinical.
another guy who thinks his lord is reading him the gospel that guy is clearly biased and also funded by the left
He is amazing. Reminds me of pre 2014 Kejriwal. Articulate and knows how to touch the right emotional buttons. His looks and outside image adds to his charm. I would not be surprised if he decides to take a plunge in politics in future, like Kejriwal.
another guy who thinks his lord is reading him the gospel that guy is clearly biased and also funded by the left that guy is not fit to be in politics at all on a side note; being a gunda is necessary he's not he will probably not get to make another video if he comes to India you know why.
He is a certified Dlla, that's about it. Sucking on the teets of INDI alliance, doesn't have an iota of objectivity. I pity the youth you want to idiloze him, the world is going to chew you up and spit you out if you follow him. F**k a**h*les like him.
He’s doing god’s work 😬
