In #Gurugram fear and apathy over #Namaz -- and the rich, the investors and "job creators", most likely to move away eventually. Meanwhile, those with no choice stay and soldier on. Did some reporting after ages @IndianExpress indianexpress.com/article/india/…

While killing a goat for food is condemned, the clearing of thousands of acres of forest is justified. Read more... indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

Anyone familiar with agriculture knows no vegetarian meal is cruelty free. Farming is soaked in violence. Insects, rodents, worms & birds are killed in vast numbers to protect crops. Vegetarianism hides these acts behind sanitised supply chains Read more newindianexpress.com/magazine/2026/…

Charred pineapple yogurt foam and banana blossom skewers?? Open secret in Delhi's diplomatic circles that visiting dignitaries now routinely return from such strange meals at official banquets and order Indian food from room service.

How to defang debate

For a politics that says pay a rickshaw driver Rs 4 instead of Rs 5, a Premchand parable many of us read in middle school. My piece in @IndianExpress @ieopinion indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

What went behind the India-EU pact? What are people reading too much into, and perhaps too little? A conversation with @MohanCRaja for @IndianExpress youtube.com/watch?v=HladsC…

Does a "young" leadership lead to new ideas if it isn't really empowered? With BJP's millennial president, Nitn Nabin, it's still a boomer party. After all, a fresh coat of paint doesn't change a building. My piece in @IndianExpress @ieopinion indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

Finally, a foolproof metaphor for understanding the "disruption" that is Donald Trump. Hi is just another "Delhi boy". A bit of satire after ages in @IndianExpress @ieopinion indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

🚨 Two strong women. Helpless. LIVE on television. Trisha 😢: A survivor who fought for years - now dragged, silenced, abandoned. Sonal breaks down on air. The system has failed all of us 💔

My work doesn't lie at the "intersection of x and y". Is it even work?

Is the new US National Security Strategy a decisive rupture, the end of the idea of the West? Or, is it just a Trump phenomenon to be ridden out? I speak to @MohanCRaja for @IndianExpress @ieopinion youtube.com/watch?v=XX4SPh…

How much of how we see India-Russia ties is tied up in nostalgia? With Vladimir Putin in Delhi, there's much to build on beyond defence. A great conversation with @MohanCRaja for @IndianExpress youtube.com/watch?v=_Swou0…

10years ago, a lynching shocked us. Now, as the UP government seeks to end prosecution, it's time to look back and forward: India has a new social contract that breaks the one I grew up with. My piece in @IndianExpress @ieopinion indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

#ExpressInvestigation | On CBFC’s chopping board: caste, mythology, politics — and Punjab This investigation tracks a pattern of cuts across recent films. #TheBengalFiles was kept pending over multiple changes, including replacing a police-station photo of Mamata Banerjee with #MotherTeresa, and renaming Sita Mandal to Gita before an A certificate on June 25 (release September 5). #JanakiVsStateofKerala was cleared only after the title was altered to Janaki .V vs State of Kerala. #ManofSteelSardar moved after delays; for Jolly LLB 3, a Revising Committee cleared it, then edits followed (muted words, modified disclaimers/logos/locations; toned-down police-assault scene) before a UA16+ on September 2. #Phule got a U with 12+ tweaks, including changing “3,000 saal purani gulami” to “kai saal purani ghulami”. #Empuraan passed with 24 changes (Gujarat riots/NIA references removed). #SitaareZameenPar added a PM quote after the disclaimer. #Filmmakers call this arbitrariness; the I&B Ministry cites new UA 7+ / 13+ / 16+ categories and expert-heavy panels.

The "very erection" of Babri mosque was the "fundamental act of desecration", DY Chandrachud tells me. A startling statement -- all the more given the verdict he co-authored clearly says no evidence was supplied to show if the earlier structure was demolished to build a mosque.
