While the global economy grapples with real crises, India is booming… with ministers dishing out unsolicited gyaan. In this week’s Newsance, Abhinandan Sekhri looks at how India’s startup ecosystem is being smothered – not by a lack of ideas, but by a surplus of sycophancy.

In the last episode of Hafta, in the section about US elections, I did not hear anything about one very important issue because of which Trump might have won and that was the damage done by woke. Damaging artwork, blocking highways, inventing pronouns and all the other self-damage done by…

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: Orwell’s 1984, bigotry, audio interviews

There appears to be a deliberate attempt to tar only the majority community in your podcast. This is especially true of one senior panelist from whom I have yet to get one adverse comment on the minority community's provocation in riots. I wish this position is corrected and fair debate…

TV Newsance 199: How Modi won 2024 General Elections in 2023

This week, we look at how channels gave PM Modi’s 1-km-long roadshow in Delhi breathless coverage. We were told about the PM’s “personal connect” with BJP karyakartas, his “vishwaguru” status, and how Rahul Gandhi’s T-shirt simply fails in comparison with Modi magic. We look at how opposition leaders such as…
