The traditional bonfires during Magh Bihu this year were fuelled by anger, the raging flames during the mid-January harvest festival turning into a metaphor for the underlying sentiments across Assam.
Into the bonfires went copies of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), the contentious legislation that has triggered mass protests across India. For weeks now, lakhs of people in Assam are on the streets, demanding scrapping of the act which allows “persecuted” nonMuslims from three countries to become Indian citizens.
The CAA has opened an old wound in the state where the people who identify themselves as indigenous have been demanding deportation of all “illegal immigrants”, irrespective of religion. CAA, they say, negates every gain made from the 1985 Assam Accord, signed after a six-year-long anti-foreigner agitation. The ruling BJP has tried to pacify the people, saying that not more than five lakh “persecuted Hindus” will gain from the act.

Anatomy of a Horror
In September 2025, survivor Marina Lacerda stood before the US Capitol and spoke publicly about Jeffrey Epstein for the first time. Her story, along with the account of Haley Robson, echoed the trajectory of many other victims, revealing a pattern of grooming, coercion and silence that endured for decades, and raising uncomfortable questions about power, accountability and whether justice has truly been served to Epstein's victims

The Audience is Present
Marina Abramović's work is active, alive and pressingly contemporary. At an uncannily youthful 79, she exudes an intimidating calm, despite the brutal images she guided us through at her lecture on the history of performance art last week at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale-from live fireworks against a man's leg to an eyeball being sliced open
