In this episode, Sushant Sareen breaks down India’s complex relationship with Pakistan—beyond headlines and into strategy, power, and long-term thinking.
We begin with India’s stance on Pakistan and examine what Pakistan actually brings to the table today. The conversation then moves into controversial territory—targeted assassinations, internal fault lines within Pakistan, and what it would realistically take to weaken the country from within.
Sushant also explains how global powers, especially the United States, have historically used Pakistan to serve their own strategic interests. From there, we zoom out to India’s growing influence in the Middle East, along with the underlying ideological differences that still shape its relationship with Gulf nations.
If you’re looking for a sharp, no-nonsense breakdown of geopolitics, strategy, and ideology—this episode is packed with insights.

In this episode of Dostcast, Abhijit Iyer-Mitra breaks down the realities of geopolitics, artificial intelligence, and global power struggles shaping the world today.
We dive into what Iran’s scientists are actually working on, India’s foreign policy direction, and whether the country is quietly haemorrhaging its resources. The conversation then shifts to the rise of AI in India — why most AI startups might be overhyped, and whether India should even stay in the global AI race.
Abhijit also unpacks global tensions — from Donald Trump’s aggressive political stance to the real possibility of China invading Taiwan. We discuss the truth behind the Epstein files, the strategic importance of U.S. military bases, and whether the Gulf nations are preparing for military independence.
This is a no-filter, high-agency conversation on power, strategy, and the future of nations.

Scams, censorship, religion — most people talk about these things carefully.
Kushal Mehra doesn’t.
I’ve had Kushal on the podcast multiple times. I thought I knew exactly where this conversation would go — free speech, secularism, the usual frameworks.
This one went deeper.
We didn’t just talk about blasphemy as an idea. We talked about how it actually operates in society — the fear it creates, the incentives it builds, and why governments often prefer controlling speech over protecting it.
From “sarr tann se juda” slogans to the reality of cancelling creators, from how blasphemy laws entered India to whether humans can even offend God — this episode goes into territory most people avoid.
We also get into:
• Why free speech is so hard to explain (but easy to lose)
• The truth about triple talaq and religious teachings
• Why Kushal believes religions often oppress women the most
• What a “flat society” vs a “free society” actually looks like
• Concerns around Punjab and cultural shifts in India
At one point, we even break down free speech in the simplest way possible — and that’s where it hits the hardest.
This is not a comfortable conversation.
But it’s a necessary one.
If you care about the future of speech, religion, and society in India — watch this till the end.

Caste still shapes India in ways most people don’t fully understand.
In this episode of Dostcast, Ravikant Kisana breaks down how caste quietly determines access to power, influence, and opportunity in modern India. From elite media networks to business communities, we explore how historical hierarchies continue to affect who rises, who gets heard, and who gets left behind.
Ravikant talks about why he identifies as an Ambedkarite, how caste and pedigree influence entry into elite circles, and why certain communities appear to dominate specific professions. We also discuss media power structures, the role of identity in shaping ambition, and why some people choose not to play the traditional “game” of influence.
This conversation dives deep into India’s social structure, the psychology of caste, and what it means for merit, identity, and social mobility in modern India.

Actor Vineet Kumar Singh joins Dostcast for a powerful conversation about craft, struggle, discipline, and life beyond the screen.
Known for his intense performances in films like Mukkabaaz, Gangs of Wasseypur and Ugly, Vineet opens up about why his biggest success came later in life, the patience required to survive in the film industry, and how anger became one of the most powerful tools in his acting craft.
In this episode, he also reflects on how fatherhood changes a man, the role astrology has played in shaping his outlook, and whether younger generations today struggle with long-term commitment to their work. Vineet shares his thoughts on principles, discipline, education, and why government jobs still transform lives for millions of Indians.
This episode is a deep look into the mindset of an actor who built his career through resilience, honesty, and relentless hard work.

In this episode of Dostcast, Vinamre reacts in real-time to the chaos unfolding online — from serious geopolitical escalations to unhinged memes that turn global anxiety into viral content.
As hashtags scream “WW3”, timelines are flooded with breaking news, war maps, conspiracy threads, AI-generated visuals, and dark humour. But what’s real? What’s propaganda? And why does the internet turn every global crisis into content within minutes?

In this explosive episode of Dostcast, I sit down with Shan Prasher — one of the most outspoken and sharp voices in Indian cinema commentary.
We dive deep into the machinery behind Bollywood — from gossip networks and PR manipulation to fake followers, manufactured hate, and the political undercurrents shaping the industry.
Is Bollywood truly disconnected from the Indian audience?
Are celebrity narratives engineered?
Is the rise of South Indian superstars changing the power balance forever?
Shan breaks down how Bollywood journalism works, how studios influence perception, why action films are dominating over romance, and whether the “Bollywood boycott” narrative is organic or strategically amplified.
We also discuss:
• Who actually controls Bollywood gossip
• The hidden PR ecosystem behind stars
• Are celebrity social media numbers even real?
• Is Bollywood political — or pretending not to be?
• Why South Indian actors are dominating pan-India
• The future of Indian cinema
• The big studios that quietly run the industry
• His personal film consumption patterns
• A must-watch war movie recommendation
This is not just a film conversation — it’s about power, perception, media psychology, and the business of influence in Indian entertainment.
If you care about cinema, culture, or the narratives shaping modern India — this episode will change how you watch movies.

Can AI accurately read your birth chart?
Are astrology apps like Co–Star actually reliable — or dangerously misleading?

In this explosive episode, fitness expert Rahul Bhatt breaks down the truth about modern gym culture, strength vs muscle, abs timelines, TRT, PEDs in actors, and the uncomfortable reality behind performance enhancement at the highest levels.
Is gym culture today ruining real strength?
Are abs in 3 months actually possible?
Is TRT just medical support — or legalized steroids?
Are world leaders and actors using PEDs?
Is Stoicism still relevant in 2026?
This conversation goes from practical strength training advice to controversial discussions around testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), performance enhancing drugs (PEDs), celebrity transformations, and the psychology of masculinity.
Rahul also shares personal stories — crazy club security abroad, getting infected while fighting, training high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), and even convincing his father to start working out.
If you care about real strength, discipline, masculinity, and performance — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Dostcast, we speak to Snigdha Poonam, a journalist who has spent years reporting from the inside of India’s scam ecosystem — from call centres and digital fraud networks to the human cost behind them.
We break down how modern scams actually work, why ordinary people fall for them, and how entire scam economies are structured. From caste dynamics inside scam networks to how stolen money is routed, laundered, and protected — this conversation goes far beyond surface-level headlines.
Snigdha also shares rare insights into scam compounds, gift card frauds, police involvement (or lack of it), and how Indians trapped in overseas scam centres are eventually rescued. Her own reporting journey reveals the real risks involved in investigating these networks — and why this problem is far bigger than most people realise.
This episode isn’t about fear.It’s about understanding the system — so you don’t become part of it.
