Minding the gap, for everyone’s sake - The Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let me, again, turn to childhood memories and the different branches of the family that, one to the other, led very varied lives. My father’s side, for want of a better phrase, was ‘quite Westernised’, even Anglicised. For an outsider, it could seem strange that conversations were conducted in a fluid mix of English, Hindi and Punjabi. This was the result of their backgrounds. In late 19th-century Lahore, my grandfather was orphaned early and he and his older brother brought each other up. Both
Main Vaapas Nahin Jaunga - The Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been years since I read Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel, the wonderfully complex ‘The Brothers Karamazov’. Of the many currents in that book, like belief in God, morality, free will and patricide, one tiny part of the classic has overtaken all others to remain embedded in my head. That bit concerns a folktale about a woman who, as a result of her selfish ways, is thrown into a lake of fire in hell. Then an angel remembers that she once gave a beggar an onion from her garden. God tells the angel t
Heritage at risk: Himachal Pradesh High Court orders have revived hopes about repairs of Shimla’s historical IIAS - The Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A friend had some unusual wooden decorations on a wall. One day, I asked him what those were. “These are bits of pews from the chapel on the old Viceregal Estate. One winter, a chowkidar had broken them up and was using them as firewood. These are the rescue pieces,” he replied. As the years have gone on, much more needs rescue. Following a public interest litigation, the Himachal Pradesh High Court has taken a strong view regarding the condition of the former Viceregal Lodge in Shimla — which n
Wraith of the 1972 Agreement haunts us - The Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the wake of the Indo-Pak war of 1971, Shimla made much of the Pakistani delegation that had come to town on June 28, 1972. With India’s help, Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan, had come into being. Every letter posted in the country carried an additional stamp for ‘refugee relief’ as an estimated one crore men, women and children poured into India to escape the massacres and oppression by the West Pakistan army. ‘Operation Searchlight’ had been unleashed by Pakistan’s dictator, General Yahya
Hunter-gatherers of the present day - The Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yet again, let me start with a book. Almost needless to add, this too has had its fair share of critics and detractors. In 2021, during the Covid pandemic, evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein published ‘A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century’. They speak of our era, arguing that despite what all is happening around us and our being increasingly aware of the events that surround — and at times overwhelm — us, we, as a species, are living in the best time of human hist
