Shyam Benegal (1934-2024): The conscience keeper of Indian cinema
The renowned director has died at the age of 90.
Farewell, the great Shyam Bengal. His films ensured that I did History. Every film is a deep but human dive into the big events & phenomena of modern India. Take your pick from 1857, to Telangana, landlords, women, cooperatives, leaders & even the Constitution!

Same for London and Cambridge. All the chat is about home buying and beautifying! And figures who attract attentive envy. I’m done with football & cricket tho the former has its own voluble partisans

A Brief History of Yuval Noah Harari
How the scholar became Silicon Valley’s favorite guru
Fair but damning review of Harari's latest. "Yet like a chatbot, he [Harari] has a quasi-antagonistic relationship with his sources…mines other writers for material—a neat quip, a telling anecdote—but rarely seems taken with anyone else’s views."

Unpopular Opinion:
As 2024 looks set for Modi it's the perfect moment for Congress to go solo and remake not just itself but Indian politics. Only a bipolar politics can contest the party-state trajectory of Indian politics.

It's 10 years since Tesco in Hampstead ran out of organic porridge, the point which for many people marks the start of the accelerated decline of this once great country.

Leaders as Feudal Overlords? Lavish campaigns only to announce pathetic guarantee schemes — India’s welfare system is broken as big money spent on elections. My take on this season of polls!
Telangana to MP, political funding is the bigger problem not welfare!

"Hegel had no doubt that human history had been a “slaughter-bench”..Yet it had also delivered a form of life, defined by the principle of universal freedom, which we would never knowingly choose to relinquish."
