The YouTuber, who has 5.61 million subscribers on YouTube, 2.5 million on Instagram, and 528,700 on Twitter, was also called out for interviewing BJP ministers Rajeev Chandrasekhar, S Jaishankar, Smriti Irani and Piyush Goyal on his channel.
Popular Indian YouTuber Beer Biceps, aka Ranveer Allahbadia, is currently in the news for his podcast with Advocate J Sai Deepak. A clip from the podcast has recently gone viral on social media. In the clip, he asks Deepak a controversial question, "3 Indians that should leave India and never come back?"
To this, Deepak responds by mentioning Barkha Dutt, Romila Thapar, and Irfan Habib as his choices. This viral moment has sparked widespread discussion and debate online.
Who are these 3 People?
To the unversed, Barkha Dutt is an Indian journalist who became a prominent figure after her frontline war reporting on the Kargil Conflict between India and Pakistan in 1999. Romila Thapar is an eminent historian whose core area of study is ancient India and a Professor of Ancient History Emerita at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi.
Irfan Habib is another prominent Indian historian of ancient and medieval India who identifies as a Marxist and is well known for his strong stance against Hindutva and Islamic fundamentalism.
The YouTuber, who has 5.61 million subscribers on YouTube, 2.5 million on Instagram, and 528,700 on Twitter, was also called out for interviewing BJP ministers Rajeev Chandrasekhar, S Jaishankar, Smriti Irani and Piyush Goyal on his channel.
The viral clip caused quite an uproar on social media. Netizens have criticised Allahbadia, for asking such an insensitive question and systematically spreading propaganda filled with lies and hatred.
Earlier, Allahbadia received backlash for his podcast titled, 'Career Hack Used by Hitler to Become the World's Most Powerful, in which he went on to say that he was an evil man, but added that there are other evil people. The video was later taken down.
While most people seem to criticise the YouTuber, there seems to be some support for him as well. Many Twitter users left comments in support of him.
