Deadly Despite Chinks

OF all the news being broadcast from Jammu and Kashmir, growing instances of ‘home-grown’ militants have recently headlined the most. But the rising number of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed militants being killed in counter-insurgency operations over the past couple of years in this restive state often gets hidden behind reports that evaluate militancy on old anvils that fail to soak the hits. The statistics— body count, to be precise—shows a generational shift in the way the outlawed group has regrouped and revitalised its resources in the Valley after lying on the fringes for 14 years since executing several attacks that were the bloodiest in the state’s history.

Class and Caste

Caste hierarchies continue to exist in everyday life and across campuses.

The discrimination persists from Kashmir to Kerala. From delayed degrees and stalled promotions to verbal abuse, professional isolation, and sometimes death, these case studies underscore not isolated instances but a pattern

Writing is Acting by Another Name

My wife spots him first while my attention is focused on the bucket of theatre popcorn (medium, salt and caramel mix). I look up and there he is. Pico Iyer, great travel writer, essayist, novelist, columnist, humanist, and in recent years, friend and correspondent. While the rest gasp when Timothee Chalamet appears in Marty Supreme, we gasp when Pico does.
