Keeping up with Joneses in Keralam (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kerala became Keralam in a matter of minutes. The bill was brought to the Lok Sabha and, before anyone could say Jack Robinson or Thiruvananthapuram, the ayes had it, the ayes had it.... Ab aayega mazaa. Trivandrum became Thiruvananthapuram aeons ago, but Hindi speakers still call it Tri-ve-dhrum. Likewise, they will continue to call the state Keral (Ke-rel), raising the hackles of Malayali purists. Foreigners would add to the cacophony. Going by the logic of English spelling, they will call the

Read excerpt
A group of young military officers plot to overthrow the Japanese government on the anniversary of Japan’s World War II surrender, capture power, bin the pacifist post-war constitution, restore the national army and revive the military spirit of imperial Japan. Readers of Kyuzo Kobayashi’s 1978 novel August Without the Emperor found it a good read, and viewers of its film version thought it good entertainment. That was all.

Read excerpt
Few would have heard of Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin, but most of our present-day leaders seem to be following his words.

Read excerpt
This is a tale of two miracles. One was worked two centuries ago; the other will be in a few weeks. Both in the sleepy central Indian town of Sleemanabad. For centuries most of central and north India was infested with members of a murder cult called thuggee. Thugs led normal peasant, trader, warrior or priestly lives, but would hunt in packs to rob and kill travellers and pilgrims after the harvest season. They would join travellers on their journeys, earn their trust, garrote them at unsuspect
Ayodhya Ram Mandir theft: Honour the deity and the devotee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vikramaditya tales and Arabian Nights fables feature spirits and genies guarding treasures in caves. The Buddha’s relics kept in the caverns of Mandalay temple in Myanmar are believed to be guarded by dancing pythons. The local folk on the Malabar coast would tell you tales of fierce spirits of long dead Moorish slaves guarding hidden firangi gold in forts and shrines. Old wives’ tales, perhaps. But many people wish these tales were true when they read about the loot happening in several of Indi
