Whatâs on Your Plate? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Funny video which did the rounds on Indian social media a few years ago tells us what is wrong with the way an average Indian thinks about food. It shows a man telling his wife that since he is fasting, she should prepare only a few âlightâ items. The list that follows makes it less a fast than a small carnival of carbohydrates. One dish after another arrives, enjoying the protection of vrat ka khaana, but which, when added together, amounts to not only calorie surplus but also a dietary pat
The Death of a Guitarist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs late Sunday night, and for most working people, it is a time when the spectre of Monday looms large. It arises in the form of that tiny knot in the stomach that comes from the anticipation of having to negotiate the daily absurdities and aggressions of a city like Delhi. For Chongtham Vikram Singh, a guitarist from Manipur who had made Delhi his home nearly two decades ago, Monday came early last Sunday night, and in a far more dreaded form.

âVande Mataramâ: The Politics of the Missing Stanzas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THERE COULD HAVE been better ways than how Congress handled the Sonia Gandhi episode of gesturing to stop the full rendition of âVande Mataramâ at its headÂquarters on August 15.

Read excerpt
ON AUGUST 5, 2019, the BJP government made a political and constitutional wager on Jammu & Kashmir. The abrogation of Article 370 and the subsequent reorganisation of the former state into two Union territories were deemed not merely an administrative correction or an assertion of constiÂtutional integration; they were also part of a larger promise that taking away the stateâs special status would help end militancy and the instability caused by it. Seven years later, that promise is only par
The Capital of Mobilisation: Delhi and the unfinished argument of the Republic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SOMETIMES IT IS TOUGH TO BELIEVE that the moral grandeur of India began with those famous words in Nehruâs speech inÂvolving tryst and destiny. That midnight where we were supposed to awaken to life and freedom, someÂthing else was unfolding. It was a catastrophe involving the arrival in bewildered streams of refugees from Punjab and the Northwest Frontier Provinceâpeople who had seen unspeakable things, people who had abandoned homes, businesses, and the corpses of their family members.
