Kashmir, Thereafter

Are political/electoral compulsions

behind Opposition parties’ support

to the Modi government’s Kashmir

gambit? What does a walk through

Srinagar’s power street feels like

now that most of its residents are

under house arrest? Why an army

officer fears the Valley’s deafening

silence? And why Pakistan’s

global K-push is a flop?

Hungry India

Prime Minister Modi’s push for a

hunger-mukt Bharat is gaining

Abhiyaan still has a lot to cover as

become a sporting power?

She is King

They are men trapped in a woman’s

bra hooked backwards to make up

for masculine shoulders and faux

hair to look beardy hipsters. Come,

watch them…the Drag Kings.
