Thoughts on Dhruv Rathee?

Once, I was an ardent follower of the famous YouTuber Dhruv Rathee’s words, videos but off late, I have been seeing too much of his anti BJP propaganda videos. Also, people are talking that he is funded by AAP. Though he is good with the facts, figures & logics but now I am confused after seeing a lot of videos on how he is just brainwashing the public on the basis of the research done by some anti national people, living across the globe. What is your views on this?

Here's another perspective: Dhruv Rathee is a good critic of the government. We need such critics in the country regardless of who is ruling.

I have noticed a growing trend of discrediting and defaming critics instead of addressing their arguments directly.

It's crucial to differentiate between criticisms of the government and criticisms of the country. Dhruv Rathee's critiques are aimed at the Modi government, not India. It's easy to put an "anti-national", "funded", "khalistani" and other labels on anyone who criticizes to refute their arguments without validating them at first. The government diverts our attention from criticisms by using such tactics

There is literally a money trail tracing him to Canadian Khalistanis though. Is being pro-khalistani being pro-modi or pro-India?

The problem with Dhruv is that he seems to consider himself as the messiah of justice but he is just doing a one sided game. He keeps on brainwashing the public in the pretext of being a secular person. Every video he makes gets a counter video but he never replies to them clearly says his ideology.

I second with that.

Counters are mostly cherry picking and extrapolate small mistakes. BJ party couldn't counter most of his points.

Just an observation - This comment section and most of grapevine clearly aligns with :
"The urban areas having the most votes for NDA and the rural areas having more votes for INDIA explains a lot about the country and where the mainstream hate actually comes from."

Indeed.

Not really the case in my state though.

Guy is an idiot and egoistic with a Rich Dad on the side of Congress due to their businesses. Saw a reddit post where one of his classmates anonymously mentioned that he's like a trust fund kid with a lot of ego and big head.

Right. I had also read the post that you are referring to but what’s the authenticity of that post either?

True there is no authenticity but in the world of many youtubers/Influencers, I rather block them than listen to them anymore with such accusations.

I interacted and debated with him in a few reddits threads, back when he was just coming up in the youtube circles. The biggest problem I had with him was that he was intellectually dishonest, wouldn't accept validity of anything that jeopardizes his argument or augments someone else's.

There are a lot of things wrong with BJP but BJP does get somethings right. I wouldnt trust anyone whose stand is consistently in opposition to an entity, other than politicians cause their job requires them to be.
