The person in the clip was Rahul Shivshankar, a news anchor for the Indian news channel Times Now. He scolded his guest Daniel McAdams and asked him to “fight alongside his men” instead of blaming India and says a “colonial mindset” is at fault for this behavior.
However, his insults turned out to be directed to the wrong man. Shivshankar assumed that he was arguing with McAdams instead of Bohdan Nahaylo, the chief editor of Ukraine’s English-language newspaper Kyiv Post.
“Dear host, I haven’t said a word yet. I don’t know why you’re yelling at me. I am Mr. McAdams,” clarified McAdams.
Good thing that the host conceded as he replied, “Oh, sorry, I got that confused.”
