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: 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: Ram Mandir, unemployment, opposition leaders

Hello NL team, I’m a regular listener of Hafta, writing for the first time. I would like to shoot a question to the panel about the Ram mandir –

New year greetings. I wish you more subscribers and improved journalism.

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.

Hi NL, love your work.

Hafta letters: Caste census, Israel-Palestine conflict, Bajrang Dal

What does the job of a managing editor entail?

Newslaundry

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…

Hafta letters: Caste, China and AAP’s silence on Sisodia

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…

Newslaundry

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: Believers of God, influencers and supreme leader

My few feedback related to the discussions around the time of letters reading:

Newslaundry

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…

Newslaundry

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…
