At a time when the #Bengali #film industry is grappling with both commercial and #artistic decline, the International #FilmFestival of #Rotterdam spotlighted three Bengali feature films this year, including #PradiptaBhattacharyya’s third film, #NadharerBhela (The Slowman and His Raft).

Ideated by Suman Mukhopadhyay, the film stirs thoughts that wander beyond Manik Bandyopadhyay’s original story, yet stay faithful to its essence.

So Prime Minister @NarendraModi will inaugurate the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22nd and the BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi on February 14th. I expect elections to be called very soon thereafter.

The message is clear. In 2009, Mr Modi was sold to the Indian electorate as the avatar of economic development, the CEO of Gujarat Inc., who would bring development to all Indians. In 2019, with that narrative collapsing in the wake of the disastrous demonetisation, the Pulwama terrorist attack gave Mr Modi the opportunity to convert the general election into a national security election. In 2024, it is clear the BJP will now revert to its core message and offer Narendra Modi to the nation as a Hindu Hriday Samrat.

All of this begs the question: what happened to achhe din? What happened to 2 crore jobs a year? What happened to economic growth that would benefit the lower rungs of the socio-economic ladder? What happened to putting disposable income into the pockets and bank accounts of every Indian? These questions will have to be debated in an election that is shaping up to be Hindutva versus popular welfare.

He is Rahul Gandhi, ex MP from INC.

Here he is having conversation with gig workers and delivery partners of Dunzo, Swiggy, Zomato, blinkit etc.

He is making them comfortable and all seem so happy while meeting a leader of such stature.

When was the last time you see saheb meeting unprivileged people from India?

Whichever side of political divide we may be on, it’s inescapable that @RahulGandhi has been deeply wronged. In history of criminal defamation dating to 1861 this is 2nd case where 2 years max sentence given aimed to throw him out of Parliament. Every citizen needs to worry.
