Hafta letters: Election commission, legacy media and VVPAT

My question is related to Hafta #469. On the organised nature of Ram mandir decor in public spaces, Shardool brushed it off, claiming that I don’t “understand” India. I thought his answer had more to do with his own mandir-time-tribulations than the uniformity of the decor, and Raman sir did…

Hafta letters: Modi rajya, farmers’ agitation, Israel-Palestine

I’m intrigued by the trend in Bollywood over the past decade, where a significant majority of big-screen releases, including films like Pathan, Tiger 3, Fighter, and Article 370, along with forthcoming ones like Yodha, heavily feature themes of hyper-nationalism, patriotism, or religion. It seems the industry is moving away from…

Hafta letters: Ram temple, Hindutva politics, AI use

Hi NL team,

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Ayodhya’s history, Muslims, cultural icons

Hafta letters: CJI Chandrachud, Palestinians rights, culture desk

My letter is a response to Jayashree’s column pertaining to CJI DY Chandrachud. Her attributing of adjournments in Umar Khalid’s case to CJI is disingenuous. Khalid’s plea has not even been listed once before the CJI’s bench. His plea has been listed before these

Hafta letters: Jordan Peterson, ‘techies’, understanding Palestine

I enjoyed your conversation on ambition and aspirations as put forth by Mr Anand. I would like to bring your attention towards the corporatisation of aspirations. I am specially pointing towards web series like TVF’s Sandeep Bhaiya and Aspirants.

Letter on September 28: In Hafta’s episode 451, the panel had no reaction to Sajjan Kumar getting acquitted.
