Hafta letters: Shehla Rashid interview, geopolitics, Hafta guests, standup comedy

NiranjanFirst-time writer sick of the tirade against Anand, just voicing some support (not that Judge Saab needs it). Modi and government bashing is easy and we have Abhi to do it in very colourful words. I don’t expect Anand to participate in it. Rather than pass black and white judgements…

Hafta letters: NL Senas, future of India, partisan media

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: Trump’s win, questions on migration, organic farming in India

In Hafta 508, the discussion of hypocrisy came up with regard to US actions in the international arena. Actually, I don’t think they are as hypocritical as it looks. They are remarkably consistent in their actions. We should be clear in understanding that when the US says they want the…

Hafta letters: CJI-Modi’s Ganesh pooja, arguments on nuqta, work-life balance

Regarding the CJI-PM pooja meet, I disagree with Shardool. In this case perceptions really matter. It is not the question about freedom to practise religion but rather it is about the public perception that there is a separation between the judiciary and the executive. In a time of growing mistrust…
