Another batch of envoys visiting post-370 Kashmir makes no ripple in a landscape beseiged by hard power
WHEN 25 envoys from Germany, France, Canada, Afghanistan, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and other countries arrived in Srinagar on February 12 for a two-day visit, there were no protests even though the Valley had observed a total shutdown the day before to commemorate the death anniversary of Maqbool Bhat, founder of the National Liberation Front (precursor to the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front). Bhat was hanged and buried in Delhi’s Tihar jail on February 11, 1984, and an empty grave awaits his remains at Srinagar’s Martyrs Graveyard. The envoys met three delegations in Srinagar’s Grand Palace hotel, which is next to the Hari Niwas Palace—now a sub-jail that lodges former CM Omar Abdullah, who along with former CM Mehbooba Mufti, have been detained under the preventive detention law, the Public Safety Act, after the end of their six-month house arrest under Section 107 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Class and Caste
Caste hierarchies continue to exist in everyday life and across campuses. Due to the persistence of caste in schools and colleges, long believed to be places for upward mobility and rational thought, these institutions end up becoming spaces where questions of \"merit\", cultural capital, language and access-or the lack of thereof-are highlighted and ridiculed. 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.
