Abhijit Iyer-Mitra Calls Himself "Orry Of Intellectuals", Video Viral

In a recent podcast with ANI's Smita Prakash, Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, a journalist and commentator on defence matters, shared something that became popular on the internet.

In the video, he appeared dressed like Yasser Arafat, who was a Palestinian political leader. When the moderator, Smita Prakash, asked him about his clothing, Mr Mitra humorously referred to himself as 'OrryJit Arafat' in a funny accent.

Seated next to him was Sushant Sareen, a journalist and senior fellow at the Observer Research Foundation. Mr Sareen jokingly remarked that the original Orry associates with wealthy individuals, while Abhijit is hanging out with them. In response, Smita Prakash teased that Abhijit is the "Orry of Poor People." Hearing this, Abhijit amusingly claimed to be the "Orry of intellectuals."
