Rajdeep Sardesai declines debate invitation from Salvatore Babones
Op IndiaAfter saying that there should be a debate with Australia-based American sociologist Salvatore Babones over his criticism of India’s left-liberal intellectuals, journalist Rajdeep Sardesai has now declined an invitation for such a debate from Babones. Salvatore Babones, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Sydney, had invited him for a debate after Rajdeep Sardesai refuted his views on Indian intellectuals and their role in negative perception of India at international forums, but Rajdeep Sardesai declined the invitation, saying he does not want to be the news, and that he is not an intellectual. I will play ‘neutral’ anchor!😊 https://t.co/km4nMDDAEk — Rajdeep Sardesai November 13, 2022 Salvatore Babones has created quite a storm in Indian social media by showing the mirror to Indian left-liberal intellectuals.
