The Thinking Man's Politician ft. Gaurav Gogoi | Deputy Leader of Opposition , LOK SABHA

In this episode, Gaurav Gogoi—MP from Assam and Deputy Leader of Opposition— talks about growing up in Delhi, carving his own political path, and why he believes politics should be about impact, not power. We talk youth, identity, the North East, climate, women’s rights, and what keeps him grounded in public service. This episode feels especially relevant today, as conversations around “I’m Indian, not Chinese”, the treatment of people from the Northeast, and national empathy demand deeper listening and reflection.
