The surgical strike that is demonetisation has found its iconic image. And it’s not the Prime Minister’s 90-plus mother standing in line to exchange her money and do her bit for Mother India.

ATM To Dilli Ka Laddoo To Surgical Strike. The Ultimate Dictionary Of Demonetisation

Glorious news indeed in this winter of our discontent a.k.a. demonetisation. The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party has decided it will give out one laddoo per family in Delhi to thank the aam aadmi for their patience during demonetisation. Inconvenience, as they say, is regretted. Please bear with us. Normal 500 rupee service will be resumed [&hellip;]

Populist Or Autocratic? Why It’s Impossible To Describe Jayalalithaa

J Jayalalithaa’s death has come with its share of “end of an era” headlines. But when the politician is a woman it all becomes infinitely more tangled. It’s hard to talk about Jayalalithaa, the politician, without tripping over Jayalalithaa, the woman. What makes it more complicated is sometimes Jayalalithaa succeeds despite being a woman and sometimes she succeeds because she is a woman. There’s no convenient narrative of virago or victim to box her in.

Is Mamata Banerjee The Opposition That The NDA Wasn’t Prepared For?

In the War Remnants museum in Ho Chi Minh city there’s a black-and-white photograph of women in plain white saris marching down the streets of Kolkata protesting the American War in Vietnam. Kolkata was the city that raised the famous slogan “Aamar naam tomar naam, Vietnam Vietnam” (My name, your name, Vietnam, Vietnam).

Zee’s Subhash Chandra Should Read Up On ‘Rabinder’ Sangeet &#038; Tagore Before Asking Us To

Subhash Chandra can be forgiven for sending Tagore, with his white beard, into the safe sanskari heaven of freedom where the mind may not be without fear but is without smokes or wine. But looks can be deceptive. What Subhash Chandra might not realise is that in our current political climate, Coldplay with a galaxy of Bollywood stars dancing attendance might be a much safer choice than old man Tagore.

Dial M For Mother: Modi Fans, Modi Foes And The Media Should Stop This Game

Perhaps it’s time the Indian media kept that same distance when it comes to the Prime Minister’s 96-year-old mother. Hiraben Modi does not live with her son. She does not show up at state visits. She is not a Dowager Empress behind the throne. She is not news. And she should not be made into news by a media scrum.

Donald Trump’s Win Proves That The Ugly American Won. Racism &amp; Misogyny Won

Let me put it bluntly. It feels as if the asshole of America just unclenched and took a giant dump on the world. What else can it possibly mean when a country that voted twice in a row for a black man for President just chose a Ku Klux Klan-endorsed candidate? If Barack Obama was meant to symbolise his country inching to a “post-racial” America, now it has basically elected a “birther”, once dismissed as the paranoia of kooky ultra-rightwingers. Alt-right can hardly be called “alternative” when it is moving into the White House. It cannot get more mainstream than that.

Why We Love To Hate Arnab Goswami &amp; Shouldn’t Be Fox-ed By His Resignation

It was the last great firecracker of Diwali. And it exploded with the mother of all bangs. The news of Arnab Goswami’s impending departure from Times Now detonated like the Indian equivalent of an American October Surprise, never mind that it was technically November.
