“This isn’t debate. This is nonsense.”
In a moment that left Indian TV stunned, internationally renowned U.S. scholar and security expert Christine Fair dropped a truth bomb on live television — and walked straight out of Arnab Goswami’s heated debate show.
Appearing on what was billed as a serious discussion, Fair found herself surrounded by shouting, finger-pointing, and nationalistic noise. Within minutes, she had enough.
“When no one is ready to listen and everyone is just yelling over each other, it’s not a debate — it’s drama,” she later posted on social media.
“There are far more meaningful things to do in this world than sit in a shouting match.”
Her walkout was more than just an exit — it was a direct protest against the growing trend of turning news into nationalistic theatre, especially on primetime Indian TV. Christine Fair, who has repeatedly supported objective truths and called out both sides where needed, refused to be part of a show where noise drowned reason.
This isn’t the first time she’s rattled Indian media. In another recent appearance, Fair openly criticized India’s double standards on Kashmir and Balochistan, stating that just as India blames Pakistan for everything in Kashmir, Pakistan believes India has a hand in Balochistan unrest — and both claims deserve scrutiny.
Backing her views with facts, she referenced Indian analyst Avinash Paliwal’s book “My Enemy’s Enemy”, which details India’s alleged role in Balochistan.
“Truth can’t be one-sided,” she added.
Her no-nonsense attitude has ruffled feathers in India before — like when she flat-out rejected the Indian Air Force’s unverified claims of shooting down Pakistani jets.
“I call BS — there’s zero proof of that,” she said on-air.
Once again, Christine Fair proved she’s not here to play along with scripted patriotism or media melodrama.
She walked out — but her message stayed loud and clear: You can’t drown truth with shouting.
