- description: Dhruv Rathee, who is arguably the most widely followed and most highly admired YouTube video-maker of his generation in India, whose last two videos on dictatorship have together achieved nearly 50 million views, has said that Narendra Modi is “70-80% a dictator”, adding that like all ‘tanashahs’ he is “a darpok”, insecure and lacking in confidence. He’s called upon the Indian people to throw out the Modi government. In a special interview to talk about himself, his childhood and upbringing, his training as a mechanical engineer at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, his marriage to his wife Juli and also what motivates him to make videos and the extent of preparation and effort put into each of them but also to talk about political issues such as his view of Narendra Modi as a dictator and whether India is becoming a dictatorship and his confidence in the Indian people who he has exhorted to throw the Modi government out, Dhruv Rathee said that his message to the Indian people is brief and simple: “Vote Karne Jayen to Sarkar ko nikal phenke”. Dhruv Rathee says that he has faith that his 2.5 crore audience will heed his request for each person to share his video with another 100 people who, in turn, will respond to his message to vote out the Modi government. I will deliberately stop there and leave you to hear Dhruv Rathee in his own language and in his inimitable style. This interview consists of two large subjects i.e. personal questions about him, his life and his work and also political questions about Modi, the Opposition, the behavoiur of Governors, the Election Commission, the Enforcement Directorate and CBI as well as the Indian media and surveys that suggest that 75% of the Indian people like and admire Narendra Modi. A substantial part of the interview is about Dhruv Rathee’s confidence in his audience, viewers and fans who he believes will respond to his appeal to vote against the Modi government. Right at the end, there are a few further personal questions where Dhruv Rathi says that he is very conscious of what he says to his audience and how he says it, that as of now he has no intention of joining politics but cannot speak of what happens 20 or 30 years ahead and that he’s not drawn to normal Bollywood films but could be attracted to take part in art cinema.
