The person arguing
the side he doesn't hold.

Ph.D. in reading before reacting

Long before The Devil's Advocate existed as a show, it existed as a habit. Tejas S teaches polity and economy to UPSC and KPSC aspirants — a job that leaves no room for opinions that can't survive a follow-up question. That same standard is now pointed at Karnataka's political class.

The premise is deliberately uncomfortable: pick the side of an issue you would not naturally defend, build the strongest possible case for it using facts and arguments that aren't invented, and put it in front of an audience that has already made up its mind. Not to win the argument — to find out if the audience's original position can actually survive it.

What the show is not

• Not partisan. The channel argues against ruling-party positions and opposition positions with the same scrutiny — party-agnostic by design.
• Not outrage content. Every case file starts with the source document, the notification, the budget line, or the court filing — not a screenshot with a caption.
• Not in English by default. The show is built for a Kannadiga audience, in Kannada, because accountability shouldn't require a second language.

ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ, ಭಾರತೀಯ

Proud Bharatiya, proud Kannadiga — the show carries that identity openly. The belief driving it is straightforward: using Kannada well is part of what keeps Kannada, and the people who speak it, growing.
