Perhaps the closest thing to a real life #ForrestGump, Murlikant Petkar’s life is an inspiration to everyone. It is the personification of “Never Give Up”.

But how did a boy who ran away from home at a very young age, find himself the holder of a still unbeaten #WorldRecord for swimming? How did he fight wars against #Pakistan? How did he end up a #boxing champion and a #wrestler?

Find out from the man himself on this episode of #TheOddcastShow.

In this episode of The #OddCast Show, hosts Kunal & Suved dive into the complexities of #woke culture and #gender transitioning with guest Abhijit Iyer-Mitra - a senior fellow at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies.

They discuss the socio-political and economic implications of gender transition, the influence of communist and capitalist ideologies, and the societal impact of wokeism and cancel culture.

Abhijit shares his journey from left-wing to right-wing ideals and critiques the role of big tech companies in shaping social policy. The conversation also explores gender identity in Western and Indian contexts, touching on issues such as the rise of gender studies, the economic motivations behind #woke policies, and the effects on innovation and societal norms. 00:00 Introduction: The Woke Generation 00:22 The Pecking Order: Government vs. Companies 00:31 Welcome to The Odd Cast Show 01:21 Biological Genders and Dysmorphia 01:48 The Origin of Gender Categories 03:53 Communism and Victim Creation 09:16 The Rise of Wokeism and Cancel Culture 12:45 The Valuation Game and Innovation Stagnation 29:45 Elon Musk: Innovation vs. Wokeism 37:14 Nostalgic Advertisements and Academic Struggles 37:58 The Victim Narrative and Depression 38:31 Opinions on Greta Thunberg and Youth Idolatry 39:03 Critique of Woke Culture and Gender Issues 46:29 The Influence of Capitalism on Social Policies 01:04:57 The Industrial Revolution and Gender Dynamics 01:14:38 The Extremes of Political Ideologies
