@prettynous Hi, trying to reach you. Thanks

Announcing Talk 305 #MouthfulOfMumbai – A Food History Of The City by Pronoti Datta Mumbai has been a melting pot of migrant cultures, and each culture has contributed to the city’s culinary heritage. Different communities have populated neighbourhoods and every neighbourhood is a springboard for a sketch on the communities and food cultures with eating establishments either closely or loosely associated with the place, such as Fort for continental food or Kalbadevi for its Gujarati thali. At our Online Talk #MouthfulOfMumbai, writer and journalist Pronoti Datta takes us on a virtual journey through Mumbai’s historic neighbourhoods, exploring how diverse ingredients, dishes and flavours arrived in the city and were reinvented in its kitchens. 📍Sat | 14th February | 6 PM | Zoom Admission Free.

Are Modi's new criminal laws the equivalent of his notebandi in the judicial sphere? Tearing up old statute book for no reason? Scrapping law sections that Indians got used to over decades. Not adding new resources for over-stretched police, judiciary. thewire.in/video/new-laws…

Both Kejriwal and Sisodia have had multiple bail applications disallowed by different levels of courts ever since they were both arrested. scroll.in/article/106914… Vineet Bhalla examines court orders to find out why the courts have denied bail to AAP leaders, despite weak evidence.

Critically, this result vindicates the remarkable reportage and editorial independence of the rare newspapers and online news platforms that held this predatory regime to account, among them the Caravan, Scroll, the Wire, the Deccan Herald and the Telegraph, Calcutta.
