Fireside is a premier television talk show that airs every Monday at 9 PM on Kantipur Television. As the flagship program of the network, it has been a staple for nearly two decades. Currently hosted by prominent journalist Rupesh Shrestha, Fireside tackles critical socio-political issues, featuring major figures who are accountable to the public.
Yogendra Yadav on Democracy and the world politics.
The by-elections held for several vacant positions at the local level are nearly complete. Voter participation in these elections has generally been encouraging. This year, elections are being held in over 50 countries around the world, resulting in the selection of new governments and leadership in those nations. In democratically practicing nations, voter participation in such elections is often regarded as a cornerstone of democracy.
However, is democracy merely about periodic elections? This has become a pressing question in recent years. Democracy is not just about conducting elections; it also encompasses the behavior of political leadership, government policies, accountability, and, importantly, the adoption of democratic values and principles by citizens and society. Without these elements, the true essence of democracy cannot be realized.
In today’s episode of Fireside, we delve into these multifaceted aspects of democracy.
Our special guest is Yogendra Yadav, a renowned political thinker and activist from India, a country that proclaims itself the largest democracy in the world. Yadav has been consistently working to bring political campaigns to the grassroots level. He is one of the founding members of the Aam Aadmi Party, which once emerged as a significant alternative political force in India. During his recent visit to Kathmandu, we had an insightful conversation with him, which we are presenting in today’s episode.
Yadav is well-known in India as a psephologist, an expert in election and voting analysis. However, in this dialogue, we have touched upon this expertise only briefly. Instead, I posed questions to him about the challenges and practices of democracy not only in Nepal and India but across the globe.
This discussion covers a range of topics, including the political future of Narendra Modi in India, the resurgence of Donald Trump in the United States, the dynamics of elected governments and electoral systems, the rise of populism worldwide, and his reflections on alternative political movements. Yadav also sheds light on the downfall of the Aam Aadmi Party in India and shares valuable suggestions for the newly formed political parties in Nepal.
Here is Fireside with Yogendra Yadav, featuring thought-provoking ideas in response to my simple questions, recorded in plain English for a wider audience.
