Why Bollywood Must Die
Comedian Anand Rathnam on racism in Bollywood. (Actually it's colourism, not racism.) Growing up in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, the toughest day was the day after the movie Padosan was aired on TV. The whole day and sometimes the entire week, kids would see south Indians and go "Woh Chatur Naar." I was a Delhi born Malayali who looked like a local and spoke Hindi like a native, and yet I had to endure it. In general our neighbours and classmates were great and they respected us, but the Day After Padosan, it was open season.
Similarly, Sikhs were shownd as lassi drinking caricatures. Christians were drunks. Baniyas were wicked. Brahmins were lascivious. Maharashtrian women were flirtatious housemaids.
And the culprits were Punjabi Hindu refugees (Kapoors, Dutts) who escaped Muslim mobs, came to Mumbai and used movies to divide Hindus and show Muslims and Pakistan as noble.

The Economist magazine is disappointed that India did not celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Mughal conquest of India. Oh, those ungrateful natives who do not celebrate the gift of civilisation. Who knows, they may even refuse to celebrate the Battle of Plassey. Dangerous trend.....
Beaten-down stocks are back in focus as ceasefire hopes revive sentiment. Aviation, travel, OMCs & chemicals see a bounce but not all will attract equal interest. I spoke to market experts, however, they remain divided on how sustainable this recovery is. Do read @EconomicTimes

Indian banks have halted gold and silver import orders from overseas suppliers, with tons of the metals stuck at customs as a formal government order has not been issued authorising bullion imports. #gold#rupee#IranWar#oil#silver
Wamanrao Parab was one of the few BJP candidates to have won Maharashtra Legislative assembly elections in early 1980s from Mulund Assembly constituency, Predominantly Gujarati & South Indian dominated constituency.
As a young boy I remember the big smiles on the faces of the BJP cadre who were all middle class citizens with 9 to 5 Jobs.
From that to today is quite a journey for the BJP.

Flashback: A Palestinian mother from Gaza brought her son for life-saving treatment in an Israeli hospital. She says she wants him to become a martyr rather than die from a disease. She let Jews save his life so he could grow up and blow himself up in crowded place in Israel, possibly the same hospital where Jews saved him.
In the video, she explains that Allah (the so-called god of Muslims) obligates all Muslims to wage jihad and practice martyrdom (human sacrifice). She adds that, unlike Jews or Christians in Israel who mourn when children die, Muslims are happy when their children are martyred in jihad (Islam’s holy war) because Allah rewards them with a one-way ticket to paradise.

My story made it to Page 1 of @EconomicTimes today.
India’s #IPO boom is telling a more nuanced story beneath the headline numbers. A rising share of IPO #proceeds is being used to repair leveraged balance sheets, with debt repayment now the largest use of funds.
As EU–India trade talks gather pace, a growing number of European multinationals are exploring #IPOs of their Indian subsidiaries. Investment bankers tell me that they have seen a clear rise in enquiries. @EconomicTimes
“I arrived by train from Goa today morning at 4 a.m. I waited in the Hubbali Railway Station till daybreak before coming down to the stadium.”
For the last 20 years, 65-year-old @YorkshireCCC supporter Ian has spent every Ranji season travelling across India to watch domestic matches.
On Tuesday, he was in Hubballi for the Ranji Trophy final between Karnataka cricket team and Jammu & Kashmir cricket team at the KSCA Stadium, seated in a temporary stand behind the sight screen to catch the opening day’s action.
