My piece

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

Why are Kolkata club-goers dancing to Mamata Banerjee’s ‘Hamba Hamba’ and the BJP’s ‘Mach Chor’ ? From campaign songs and election slogans to viral reels and packed dancefloors, Bengal’s political techno remixes are blurring the lines between propaganda, memes and nightlife

My story

For nearly three decades, Ananth Padmanabhan has returned to Calcutta with his camera. In No Refusal, he turns his gaze to the city’s yellow taxis — repositories of memory, movement and a disappearing way of life.

The @IndianExpress has reproduced and reworked substantial portions of an exclusive interview with actor Rishikanth, conducted by The Hindu's @srinivasjam at our Chennai office. It has also used a photograph from the accompanying photoshoot by our photographer, @thamodharran, without permission or credit.

Quoting an exclusive interview is standard journalistic practice. Reproducing virtually an entire story, even with portions reworded, is not.

We find this disregard for original reporting and photography deeply disappointing. Credit where it is due is a basic tenet of journalism.

My story.

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

Has Bengali cinema forgotten how to look at Bengal? From the invisible lives of Dhapa to the textures of a language that is slowly losing its density, filmmakers Ashish Avikunthak, Indrasis Acharya and Ishaan Ghose ask what has slipped out of the frame, and whether cinema can still find its way back.

You spotted them at Kolkata’s Durga Puja pandals, selling paintings, kurtas & curios. But behind these colourful wares is a world of travelling storytellers, sung scrolls & a tradition @calenkari✍️ https://t.co/uRdcQIkOHp

My story

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

At the Durga puja pandals of Kolkata, amid the festive bustle, a traditional art form has been finding space in an increasingly contemporary marketplace. Patua artists have been displaying and selling patachitras drawn on kurtas, dupattas, coasters, trays and wall hangings, bringing a centuries-old visual tradition into the everyday lives of urban buyers.

From Devi and Parama to Utsab and Antarmahal, Bengali filmmakers have used Durga’s image to explore women’s agency, patriarchal control, family tensions and the contradictions between the goddess’s power and women’s lives
