Back in 1998, the great playwright Girish Karnad wrote a brilliant essay on the arts and social change in India. Sadly, it was published in Holland so little read here. It is wonderful to see the essay now available online for desis and non-desis both:

He studied at one of the best universities in the world. He served as our country’s finance minister and prime minister. Andhbhakt can't understand him.
Do you remember where you were when the news came on October 31, 1984, that Indira Gandhi had been assassinated? I remember going for a haircut and listening to it on radio in the barber shop. For my generation, Indira Gandhi’s tragic assassination will always be a seminal event. She was such a dominant political figure that she was deeply ingrained in the consciousness of every Indian. No leader in that sense has quite had the same recall value pan-India. 🙏
Indira Gandhi imposed #Emergency1975 because @RSSorg was pushing India towards total anarchy. YES, the Emergency was a BLOT, BUT the same #IndiraGandhi called elections, resigned and took questions in public. Why doesn’t @narendramodi hold a press conference like this 👇🏽first instead of busily trying to copy from the #Emergency. #Emergency50Years
their intimidating attitude towards the people in Vallarpadam isles, and the buses plying from Ernakulam to Paravoor as well as Munambam didn’t allow the commuters from Vallarpadam to enter the buses in peak hours.@CMOKerala@TheKeralaPolice @keralatransport
sad and horrific, praying to the almighty that mitigate the intensity of the accident of the #AirIndia flight, which was flown from Ahmedabad to London.
“Why shouldn’t Pakistan be destroyed?”
A right-wing journalist tries to bait an Indian youth into endorsing war between India and Pakistan, but gets shut down instantly.
Vedan had given us stirring songs about caste discrimination. He was also sexual predator, by his own admission. Can his songs be separated from misogyny? On one hand he sings for down-trodden and on the hand he remorselessly molest women. In short, he is a fraud; his art fake.
राष्ट्रपिता महात्मा गांधी जी की पुण्यतिथि पर सादर नमन 🙏
बापू का जीवन सत्य, अहिंसा और सद्भाव की प्रेरणा है। उनके सिद्धांत हमें न्याय और समानता के मार्ग पर चलने की सीख देते हैं।

Sitharaman says you will be charged 18% GST only on the margin of difference between the purchase and sale price of your old car. So if you bought your car 10 years ago for 10L & manage to sell it today for 1L, you need to pay 18% only on ‘margin of 9L
You thus pay GST of 1,62,000 on a sale of 1 L! So you need to sell your clothes to pay this GST!
Sitharaman is a genius! Figured out how to disrobe people in the winter!
all are selfish,
to recognise or to understand or to reach out without any hesitation,
it’s indeed a poignant circumstances,
difficulty lies here
to unmask the true face of our near and dear
in our life.
Strange world
and
strange people ,
I never had a bitter experience in my life
but now I ve been going through such a dilemma that anybody is there to support
for defending an injustice.
