Episode 40: Unity Mall Row to Youth Power, Goa Assembly Shocks, ED vs SIT, Iran, Starlink & More | Full Breakdown

18 January, 2026

This episode cuts straight through the noise, tracking the Unity Mall hunger strike & the deeper questions it raises about governance, reacting to the Sabina Martins, Justice Rebello episode & what it reveals about dissent, power & accountability. We examine the real meaning of youth power in a state where frustration is rising faster than opportunity, question whether happiness indices reflect lived reality or paper progress, & break down the Assembly overview, what was said, what was avoided & what truly matters. From Starlink’s promise of connectivity to the shadows of an illegal ecosystem thriving beneath policy blind spots, we decode ED vs SIT narratives, political accountability & selective outrage. We confront the shockwaves of a Congress MLA’s rape remark, unpack the logic or lack of it, behind the new helmet rule, draw global parallels through Iran & Greenland, expose the relentless concretization of South Goa, & revisit Vande Mataram, not as a slogan, but as a mirror to our present-day values. This isn’t just discussion, it’s a reality check
