The Latest Breaking News from Hafta

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

Shardool and Anand’s perspectives on the inauguration of the Ram temple are disconcerting for non-Hindus. Their assertion that their joy is organic seems myopic, as the Ram Janmabhoomi movement was undeniably political, exploited by the BJP for long-term political gains.

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.

Hafta letters: Khalistan agenda, media bias, Israel-Palestine violence

Letter on September 28: In Hafta’s episode 451, the panel had no reaction to Sajjan Kumar getting acquitted. Not blaming anyone, just highlighting how something that might not seem significant in other parts of the country is a major development for the Sikhs. Tytler and Sajjan were the biggest names…

Hi team,

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Space exploration, Sudha Murty, Manipur videos

I religiously listen to both NL Hafta and NL Charcha. Many a times I feel an element of non-seriousness in Hafta discussions. For instance, in one of the past episodes, Abhinandan wasn’t aware of who late Anupam Mishra was, while Atul called him his guru. As a listener, I find…

Hafta letters: Atheists, moon missions, US court systems

Hey NL team, it’s दिवगुन्न btw. I thought it best to type out in Hindi. My suggestion to the NL team is if they can start film discussions, critique and roundtables with sound designers, cinematographers and writers. As somebody who works in the film industry, it is sad to not…

Hafta letters: Gandhi and celibacy, battling propaganda, Uniform Civil Code

Great work, Newslaundry, and a special shoutout to Manisha for watching painful Godi media and making TV Newsance. I would love to hear the panel’s views on Gandhi’s celibacy experiments, particularly the controversial aspect of him sleeping in the same room as his grand niece, sometimes naked, as part of…

Hafta letters: Sex and gender, hacking, the Mahabharata, land ownership

Regarding Sekhri's response to my letter, I had already qualified my response by saying that I am not asking you to go educate yourself. I was not even getting into whether I agree or disagree with you. The suggestion was that you do not forcefully shut down someone who knows…

Hafta letters: CoWIN data leak, swearing on Hafta, Uttarakhand discussion

Request Abhinandan/Manisha to read this letter. I don't think I’m alone in this feeling but I like Abhinandan swearing on the podcast, it conveys a deep emotion of feeling fucked. It might be crude, but "fuck" is a feeling that at least begins to address the bizarre unfolding of events…

Hafta letters: Gender, pronunciations, Dalai Lama, Karnataka election coverage

Dear NL family ,

Hafta letters: Encounter killings, Dalai Lama, a friend through NL

Does the Indian police have a department such as internal affairs in the US? I’ve seen Hollywood movies where IA officers investigate crimes committed by police, whether it’s torture, financial irregularities, custodial deaths, encounter killings, etc.

Hafta letters: Kannada conversation, calling out fake news, fantasy cricket

Love the work you are doing. Recently I supported the NL Sena. But as I want to gift a subscription, I could not find someone who is interested mostly in national politics. I know that you guys will expand eventually, but why don't you find someone to collab with meanwhile?
