Ashis Nandy, the renowned sociologist and clinical psychologist, conducted an interview in the 1980s with a young Swayamsevak Pracharak in Gujarat - a man who would, in the decades to come, rise to become the most powerful Chief Minister of the state and eventually the all-powerful Prime Minister of the nation.
In a now-famous essay published in the magazine Seminar soon after the 2002 riots ('Obituary of a Culture', May 2002), Ashis Nandy,laid out this chilling diagnosis. The future prime minister, Nandy wrote, at the time "a nobody, a small time RSS pracharak trying to make it as a small time BJP functionary", gave him a "long, rambling interview" that "left [him] in no doubt that here was a classic, clinical case of a fascist.
Nandy added, "I never use the term 'fascist' as a term of abuse; to me it is a diagnostic category comprising not only one's ideological posture but also the personality traits and motivational patterns contextualising the ideology. Modi, it gives me no pleasure to tell the readers, met virtually all the criteria that psychiatrists, psycho analysts and psychologists had set up after years of empirical work on the authoritarian personality. He had the same mix of puritanical rigidity, narrowing of emotional life, massive use of the ego defence of projection, denial and fear of his own passions combined with fantasies of violence - all set within the matrix of clear paranoid and obsessive personality traits. I still remember the cool, measured tone in which he elaborated a theory of cosmic conspiracy against India that painted every Muslim as a suspected traitor and a potential terrorist."

@BhattRohin I know, but even a letter like this is still helpful for district bar strikes. Honestly I don’t expect anything more than this from SCBA anyway.
It was raining in the morning, woke up to tea in bed.
Not the kind prepared by a thoughtful partner.
Instead, it was a wake up gift from my cat, who, during the day, had managed to sneak away a packet of tea leaves from the kitchen, kept it hidden throughout, and while (1/n)
@7h_anand But the order is a blatant judicial overreach and not to mention completely irrational. I understand CJ Gavai’s trend seem to adhering to populist demands but in this case, I believe this intervention was necessary. Not just for our dogs but for law as well.
Looking to speak to people on the ground in Bihar who are either participating in or observing (in whatever capacity) the distribution and collection of forms by BLOs for the proposed new voter list. This is for legal work.

Hope this Mamdani win propels a conversation in our progressive urban circles on rent control and affordability in Indian cities which hardly provide amenities but make housing costly with each passing year. The Hindu has a report from this morning on the state of houses…

There is no dignity for the poor in this country.
The BJP Govt. in Delhi was formed with the votes of these people. A few months later, these people- old infirm women, young girls- are suddenly ‘illegal’ with no roof over their head in this heat.

In Prof. Mahmudabad’s case, rather than confronting the dubiousness of the FIRs or offering categorical relief, Justice Surya Kant’s bench has chosen to cloak an absolutely punitive approach in the garb of liberty.
