Why Indians Are Really Reading Booker-Winning Books
—And What That Says About Us Every time an Indian or South Asian novel wins a major international prize like the Booker, there’s a predictable reaction across India: people rush to buy it. But not always to read it in the traditional sense. They’re not curling up with ‘Heart Lamp’ (or whatever the latest winner is) because they’re dyingContinue reading “Why Indians Are Really Reading Booker-Winning Books”
Pride Isn’t the Problem—Imposition Is
Every land believes it has the best food, the best culture, the best religion, and the best dress code. That’s natural. It’s even beautiful. Pride in one’s heritage is what gives us identity. It ties generations together, fills our memories with rituals and recipes, and gives us a sense of belonging in a chaotic world.Continue reading “Pride Isn’t the Problem—Imposition Is”
When Man Plays God: The Perils of Rewriting the Divine
Across centuries and civilizations, sacred texts have stood as the cornerstone of spiritual life. Whether it is the Vedas, the Torah, the Bible, the Quran, or the teachings of the Buddha, a common thread unites them all: they were believed to be revealed to wise men, not invented by them. These men—rishis, prophets, sages—were notContinue reading “When Man Plays God: The Perils of Rewriting the Divine”
When Leadership Meant Something Else
I am proud to have lived in a country that was once ruled by elite, polished, and sophisticated leaders. And no one embodied that spirit more vividly than Rajiv Gandhi. Say his name today and you’ll hear mixed opinions. He was a Gandhi, a dynast, a man shaped by both privilege and tragedy. But forContinue reading “When Leadership Meant Something Else”

The Hydra of Free Speech: Why Ideas Cannot Be Silenced
Free speech is not merely an individual action; it is an idea. And like all great ideas, it resists containment. Authorities may imprison the speaker, burn the book, censor the post—but the idea persists, often louder than before. The more you try to arrest it, the more it mushrooms, taking root in minds and movementsContinue reading “The Hydra of Free Speech: Why Ideas Cannot Be Silenced”
Modi, Trump, and Me: A Survivor’s Tale
If I am alive today—and I say this with all due reverence—it is thanks to two extraordinary men. Not my parents, not my doctor, not the scientists, not the gods, but two towering figures of the 21st century: Mr. Narendra Modi and Mr. Donald J. Trump. Let’s start with Mr. Modi. During the great COVID-19 apocalypse, when theContinue reading “Modi, Trump, and Me: A Survivor’s Tale”
“The Enemy at My Gate”
Ladies and Gentlemen, We’re often told who our enemies are. They say the enemy lives across borders. That he wears a different uniform. Speaks a different tongue. And so, we must send missiles and grenades, drop bombs on homes — Where children play, where mothers cook — All in the name of victory. But IContinue reading ““The Enemy at My Gate””
