This post is more an addendum to Barbar Indian’s brilliant analysis of the Slimes’ shocking duplicity in covering the persistent violence at Kandhamal. For more than a few weeks, the Slimes has been running a relentless campaign on Kandhamal on its front page (in the printed edition) with the focus always on the plight of the poor Christians facing the merciless swords of murderous Hindu mobs. It devoted at least two “Sunday specials” to “examine” the issue. We know of course, what the said “examination” means. This record led me to dismiss these pompous, hollows pieces as not blog-worthy.
But Barbar Indian’s post points at something really dangerous. The Slimes must deserve the honour of nakedly parading the politics-media nexus. We wish they hadn’t done it so crudely.

The Gujarat 2002 Riots Milk Federation is almost bankrupt. The Chairwoman Chairperson is making a desperate attempt to keep it going.
How do we remember what we wish had not happened? On February 28, it will be six years since the Gujarat riots. An event that polarised this generation as the Sikh riots before it, and Partition earlier. It is not improbable to think there will be another slew of violence for the next generation. Activist Teesta Setelvad has had the unfortunate task of pla...

I went, I listened, and left depressed. I am talking about this much-hyped concert that happened on Saturday.
Indian music icons Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia, M Balamurali Krishna and L Subramanian will come together to perform on a single platform on March eight in the city.
It was supposed to be the first-ever jugalbandi of its kind, a conglomeration of giants, a meeting of the icons… and it was just that: a meeting.
First off, I’m against any “timed” co...

I know I’m a little late in picking this story up.
An exhibition on Mughal emperor Aurangzeb at the Lalit Kala Akademi in Chennai was abruptly closed down and the paintings taken away by the police after protests that some of the depictions were objectionable and a distortion of history.
