In this episode of The Syllabus of Life, Ex-IRS Ravi Kapoor sits down with intelligence and geopolitics analyst Lucky to unpack the narratives shaping the world right now — and how to think critically about what we're told.The conversation ranges across the political turmoil in Bangladesh and the future of Sheikh Hasina, the Iran–Israel–US standoff and the question of ceasefires, the Russia–Ukraine war seen through a longer historical lens, Balochistan and Pakistan's internal fault lines, the role of intelligence agencies and "deep state" theories, information and narrative warfare on social media, the Ladakh and Delhi protests, and why—according to the guest—strengthening critical thinking is the only real defense against manipulation. Viewers should treat the specific claims made here as one guest's analysis and opinion, not established fact.
