A special show for the holidays, looking back on some of the biggest events, cultural hits and Christiane's best interviews this year. One year after the outgoing Biden administration struck a deal to bring him and four other Iranian Americans back home, Siamak Namazi, the longest held American in Iran, speaks with Christiane about his captivity in Iran's Evin prison, the torture he underwent and what it feels like to be free. Then, Christiane sits down with Hollywood legend Tom Hanks and his co-writer Christopher Riley to discuss their unique documentary "The Moonwalkers," capturing humanity's obsession with space travel. She also revisits an exclusive report from Ukraine, where she gained access to a medical evacuation train used by the Ukrainian army to transport wounded soldiers from near the frontlines to hospitals around the country. Afterwards, "True Detective" stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis speak with Christiane about the latest season of the hit series released to critical acclaim. Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep and former Afghan politicians, negotiator Fawzia Koofi and Dr. Habiba Sarabi, also join Christiane to talk about their new documentary called "The Sharp Edge of Peace," following the doomed efforts to negotiate with the Taliban. And finally, in a moving interview during celebrations marking 80 years since the D-Day landings in Normandy, 101 year old U.S. army veteran Jake Larson speaks with Christiane about the shared values he and his fellow servicemen fought for during World War II.

With cross-voting in Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka, it has now got to the stage where some politicians will sell their votes, even if they know that they are going to be found out. It demonstrates that many of India's politicians are so motivated by greed — for money, for power, for office, etc. — that they will do anything at all that advances their interests. It also proves that ideology is dead.

'The saga of the Ram Mandir is the story of miscalculations and mistakes by the so-called secular establishment over the last 50 years. We don't always realise this but the idea of politically mobilising Hinduism became a Congress stratagem during Indira Gandhi's last years', says Columnist and Author Vir Sanghvi, adds Arun Nehru, who sought to be Court Chamberlain in the Rajiv Gandhi-era, argued to continue with Indira Gandhi's policy of playing the Hindu card in a subtle way that did not alienate Muslims.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is arguably the most popular politician of 21st century India. As the assembly elections in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh made clear, Modi is unbeatable in the Hindi belt. Given how many seats the Hindi belt accounts for—barring any unlikely or unforeseen developments—he will continue to be the Prime Minister after the 2024 Lok Sabha election. However Narendra Modi's supremacy doesn't work in South India. Unless the BJP's next victory is more national in character, the Hindi belt vs the rest problem will fester going ahead. Columnist Vir Sanghvi explains in this week's #SharpEdge

'Nothing in the Middle East is black and white. No side is completely in the right. And both Israel and Hamas have committed wrongs. So let's judge them on their actions, not where our loyalties lie', says author and columnist Vir Sanghvi in ThePrint #SharpEdge 

The consumption of non-vegetarian food is not a big deal in West Bengal. As far as Bongs are concerned, it is just food. And they love it. In this week's #SharpEdge video column, author and columnist Vir Sanghvi says if Bengalis eat mutton rolls at Puja pandals, good for them. Stop Talibanisation of Hinduism.

'Despite Israel's displays of military power and covert action, what security it now enjoys comes mainly from the diplomatic agreements it has struck with its Arab neighbours and from the support of the West', says author and columnist Vir Sanghvi, adds, 'Ultimately countries don't have to be strong states or weak states. They have to move beyond simplistic black-and-white absolutes and do what is best for their people. Whatever you may call the Indian state, strong or soft, it has usually found a balance that works to protect our people.' Watch ThePrint #SharpEdge

'There is a lot of bigotry in India and a worrying amount of Islamophobia. But our responses to Hamas's terrorism in Israel go beyond that.

'What would have happened had a legislator behaved like BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri in any other parliamentary democracy?'- Author & Columnist Vir Sanghvi argues that the only reason why Modi govt did not condemn his remarks is because it's election season again & the BJP needs to keep the Hindutva faction faithful on its side in MP, Rajasthan & other states.

Did Udhayanidhi do the right thing by launching an 'attack' on Sanatan Dharma? In ThePrint #SharpEdge, Vir Sanghvi says, 'it is a disastrous tactical error', adds that if DMK really want to defeat the BJP at the next general election, it might be a good idea to tell Udhayanidhi to pipe down.

'Till recently it has always been the BJP that celebrates the use of India over Bharat. Atal Bihari Vajpayee lost an election by telling us that India was shining, Modi launched Make in India. So, is BJP so annoyed by Opposition alliance naming itself 'INDIA', that it prompted a knee-jerk response?', says author and columnist Vir Sanghvi, in #ThePrint #SharpEdge  Read Vir Sanghvi's column here : https://theprint.in/opinion/we-were-india-since-alexanders-time-why-drag-the-british-into-it/1750174/

'Confronted with the atmosphere of divisiveness, people ask 'what must it be like to be a Muslim in today's India?' But we should also ask: 'what does it feel like to be a Hindu in today's India?'', says author & Columnist Vir Sanghvi, adds, 'It is about what it feels like to be an Indian when each day brings sadder stories and more depressing headlines.'

The Karnataka election loss, Balasore tragedy, wrestlers' protest, and Jack Dorsey's comments have all come in quick succession. The Modi govt's invincible facade is chipping away.

After last week's train accident in Odisha, Opposition has been demanding Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw's resignation. But will it fix anything? In ThePrint #SharpEdge, Author & Columnist Vir Sanghvi says that nothing much will be achieved by Vaishnaw's resignation, it suits the government to let its opponents hammer away at the Railway Minister & opposition is only playing into Modi's game by focusing on it.  Read Vir Sanghvi's column here : https://theprint.in/opinion/sharp-edge/vaishnaws-resignation-wont-fix-anything-opposition-playing-into-modis-game/1617883/

If the BJP feels that the wrestlers' protest will influence the Karnataka election (which it hasn't so far) or seriously affect the Prime Minister's image, it will act.

It is clear that the Modi magic rarely extended beyond the Hindi belt and Gujarat. BJP has become what it once claimed to oppose: a powerful, arrogant, entitled establishment.

I do think we should debate how to respond when popular culture is used to divide the Indian people. India is changing. Perhaps our responses should change too.

Narendra Modi wins largely because the Congress does not know how to stop him

Is the rewriting of NCERT textbooks part of an initiative to deny India its history & to portray Muslims as barbarians who invaded India only to rape, pillage, plunder & murder? Can a nation built on diversity survive the indoctrination of hatred in our children? Watch ThePrint #SharpEdge with Vir Sanghvi. 

Easy for intellectuals to laugh at Modi's nationalist claims. But it is silly to dismiss them. Because the truth is that this strategy is working.
