This model of growth draws inspiration from the tradition and culture of Chhattisgarh, where nature thrives in harmony with the community's prosperity. Agriculture, industry, and business all receive equal nurturing under this model. It fosters a sense of pride in being a Chhattisgarhi and encourages active participation in the state's development.

The Chhattisgarh government led by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has successfully implemented a comprehensive growth model for the State. This model widely branded as the “Chhattisgarh Model” is looked into with great interest by other State leaders and planners. The various schemes started by the Chhattisgarh government have received accolades from the Central government. Some of the schemes of the State government have even been recommended by the NITI Ayog also. The Chhattisgarh model of development is gaining widespread acceptance as a sustainable model in harmony with nature and the principles of life.

The middle finger speaks
There are many reasons why Arundhati Roy's Mother Mary Comes to Me is essential reading. For people of my generation, who read The God of Small Things in our 20s—and walked around in a daze afterwards, “like somebody had shot heroin up our arms”, to quote Arundhati’s literary agent David Godwin—this book feels like a vital companion piece. It is a vivid “making-of” chronicle, a kind of behind-the-scenes narrative that in some ways surpasses the original novel.

No beef with Hindi, until forced
Let's be clear upfront: I have no beef with Hindi. In fact, like many Indians, I find myself effortlessly switching to it when the situation demands. Think about it: when I’m haggling with a vendor in a Delhi market, catching a Bollywood movie, chatting with a taxi driver or even trying to decipher the occasional railway announcement, Hindi slides in quite naturally. And frankly, why wouldn't it? It's a beautiful language, rich in vocabulary and allusion, and spoken by millions.
