Please do help the young man. I’ll benefit from some suggestions too. From my side I can suggest @c_aashish and @anayjoglekar. I would really love to hear from analysts who are from different hues of the political spectrum too. But what I have found in the last few years is this-

People from the media who support the Congress show a lot of disdain for people who don’t agree with them. Same is true for some media persons who support the BJP too. This language of ‘bhakts’, ‘andhbhakts’ is high on rhetoric but it erodes your credibility. Bias is ok as
long as it does not turn into disdain and disrespect for voters. While I don’t believe that voters are always right, there is a collective intelligence that you ought to respect in a democracy. I believe a lot of leaders from Congress got carried away by supporters in their media
and they lost the plot when they started blaming the voters. Leaders using the language of ‘bhakts’, ‘hate bags’ was counter intuitive and self defeating. Ground supporters of both sides use rhetoric, derisive language, abuse for their opponents but I believe that serious
political analysts should not, however tempted they are. You could use your rhetoric against leaders but to use it for common public only reveals frustration. Lot to say, but more later. But please feel free to add names so that we can all learn more.
