When Jayalalithaa floored Karan Thapar not once, but twice

Razor-sharp commentator Karan Thapar talk of his extraordinary journey, from his privileged lineage to his provocative public and personal choices, and what makes him the only interviewer to have Jayalalithaa, Narendra Modi, and Ram Jethmalani walk out on him, with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra Club in Chennai. Karan Thapar is one of journalism’s most celebrated - and volatile - faces, a man who for over three decades has defanged and dissected public figures and public life.

The key idea behind Algebra is to bring together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking. At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is that unique live and continuous space where people could go for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made. Algebra – the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host over 60 conversations over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al. In a line, Algebra is a space where one can meet an exciting, cutting-edge spectrum of people shaping the world in different ways. Where one can test one’s ideas, challenge one’s perspectives, and build friendships. A sort of fellowship of the curious and engaged. Membership to Algebra is by invitation or referral. If you know an Algebra member, ask them to put you in touch with us. For more, click HERE: http://www.algebratheclub.com/membership
