[Pico Iyer @PicoIyer]

With whom do we identify, and where do we find our tribe? In those who look and speak like us or in those who think and feel like us? In a global world the two may be less and less the same, and the homes we make may trump the ones we inherit.

The NDA stands at around 318, leaving it more than 42 votes short. The number excludes YSRCP’s 4 seats.

NDA has 150 members in Rajya Sabha if allies are added to the BJP’s of 114. It is still short of the 2/3rd majority of 160, in a house of 252.

An Assamese Muslim man has been declared a foreigner despite producing 15 documents, including the 1951 NRC, decades of electoral records, Aadhaar, voter ID, PAN and even a passport.

When the State’s own documents are treated as insufficient, citizenship is reduced to an arbitrary exercise. A system that keeps shifting the goalposts erodes faith in the rule of law and places ordinary citizens especially from minority community in perpetual fear.

Words. Words. I play with words, hoping that some combination, even a chance combination, will say what I want.

A shortfilm on "Samosa" in Tamil. Just 70 seconds, but superb end... 😄👌

Most books on this are about Delhi / exploring Delhi history. Would love to add more titles, academic, non-academic, literature etc.
