DECODE Live: Sudhir Chaudhary | Abhinandan Varthaman | Hanuman Ansh | India GDP Growth | Base Year

In today’s episode of Decode With Sudhir Chaudhary, we analyse the growing debate over India’s GDP growth figures and why economic data is increasingly being challenged, the complete ABCD of how India’s GDP is calculated, the new journey of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman after leaving the Indian Air Force, the growing success of faith-based cinema and ‘Hanuman Ansh’, the controversial developments involving terrorist Yasin Malik, and the continuing disaster in Nepal where thousands remain missing after the devastating flash floods.

The episode begins with the debate over India’s GDP numbers and a larger question about the growing tendency to reject data whenever it does not fit a particular political narrative. From election results and voter-list figures to claims surrounding the impact of Operation Sindoor and now India’s GDP growth rate, we examine why some sections of society question data that reflects India’s electoral choices, economic performance or national achievements. At the same time, we analyse why international reports and rankings that portray India negatively are often accepted without the same level of scrutiny.

The episode then turns to one of India’s most recognised fighter pilots, Abhinandan Varthaman. The former Indian Air Force Group Captain and Vir Chakra awardee became a national figure after the February 2019 aerial confrontation with Pakistan, during which he was credited with shooting down a Pakistani F-16 before his MiG-21 Bison was hit and he was forced to eject over Pakistan. After leaving the Indian Air Force, Abhinandan has now taken up a new challenge in civilian aviation. He has joined Goa-based regional airline FLY91 as a pilot. We decode his extraordinary journey from fighter pilot to airline pilot and the story behind his second career in the skies.

The programme also looks at the changing formula of Indian cinema, particularly the growing popularity of films based on faith and spirituality. ‘Hanuman Ansh’, based on Neem Karoli Baba, has attracted attention from audiences as well as former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, who described himself as a devotee of Neem Karoli Baba after reacting to the film’s Hanuman imagery. The film’s director has also expressed a desire for Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma to watch the movie. We decode whether faith-based cinema is creating a new box-office formula and why audiences are increasingly responding to stories rooted in spirituality and devotion.

The episode then examines the latest controversy surrounding terrorist Yasin Malik. Malik has reportedly announced that he will divorce his Pakistani wife Mushaal Hussein Mullick and has said that he will not defend the trial or challenge the death penalty in the nurse murder case. We decode the latest developments, the questions surrounding his decision and what his reported change in position means in the wider context of his long-running legal and political controversies.

Finally, we return to Nepal, where the devastation caused by the August 26 flash floods continues to unfold. More than 1,130 people have reportedly died across Nepal and Tibet, while thousands remain missing. Drone visuals are revealing the scale of destruction, with debris and mud covering affected areas including Devighat. Even a week after the disaster, search operations continue as authorities monitor rivers and warn of the possibility of fresh flash floods amid continued rainfall. Nepal is also preparing to rebuild an early-warning system for floods and landslides near the China border. We decode the continuing Himalayan disaster, the search for missing people and why early-warning systems could become critical for Nepal’s future.
