THE WEEK India
|June 30, 2024
The Jama Masjid in Delhi, a Mughal-era structure, is located just a few paces from the Parliament building and has come to be known as the 'Parliament-wali masjid' Maulana Mohibullah Nadvi, the imam of the masjid, has for years been a bridge between the people and the political leaders who would come to the mosque to pray.
The 48-year-old Nadvi has now covered the short distance between the place of worship and the temple of democracy by becoming the first imam to get elected to the Lok Sabha.

When power runs in the family
All the aayis, taayis, mamis, kakis and mulgis in Maharashtra and their elder sisters elsewhere are celebrating that their state has got its first woman deputy CM in Sunetra Pawar. Indeed a great moment, except that she has got the post as a legacy of her deceased husband. Nothing to be ashamed of. Lady Astor became the first woman to take a seat in the House of Commons, because her husband had to give it up when elevated to the House of Lords.

Year after year, for decades, I went to Rajpath (nee Kingsway) for the Republic Day Parade. I came to associate January 26 with cold foggy mornings, milling crowds smelling of damp wool and patriotism, and those cruel wooden benches that imprinted slat patterns on your behind. Yet, from the moment the first helicopter rained rose petals till the last fighter jet scrammed into the heavens with an earsplitting roar, I forgot my numb derriere.
