In Conversation with Salman Khurshid | François Gautier, journalist and author

In the latest episode of In Conversation with Salman Khurshid, journalist and author François Gautier recounts his remarkable journey from France to India that became a spiritual discovery and led him to find a ‘home’ in India. During the discussion, he makes a passionate case for ‘the decolonisation of the Indian mind’, urging Indians to reclaim pride in their own identity.

Gautier shares how the Western media has long viewed India through clichés and prejudices, failing to recognise its achievements. He also reflects on how President Vladimir Putin restored Russia's pride by making Russians proud of their country and says India too should draw confidence from its own civilisational heritage.
