What this episode covers

The popular YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent’ has sparked controversy after criminal proceedings were initiated against its creators and participants over allegedly obscene remarks in one of its episodes. On February 18, 2025, the Supreme Court granted interim protection from arrest to podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, one of the participants named in the FIRs. This has reignited the debate on whether stringent criminal sanctions are justified for contentious speech. Is there a right to take offence? Here we discuss the question. Guests: Justice Gautam Patel, former judge of the Bombay High Court; Dushyant Dave, senior advocate based in Delhi Host: Aaratrika Bhaumik You can now find The Hindu’s podcasts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Stitcher.
