The New India Foundation – a platform that strives to foster interest in documenting the dynamic and rich landscape of post-Independence India – provides a heart-touching excerpt from Neyaz Farooquee's courageous memoir, "An Ordinary Man's Guide to Radicalism".
Meanwhile, Anisha Saigal writes on how each of Dibakar Banerjee’s works operates on two levels— first, the surface level narrative that advances the plot, and second, the vignettes it presents in the background for each occurrence, each character. "There are a lot of reasons to fixate on Dibakar Banerjee’s artistic sensibilities. You have to appreciate the guts of the man who opted for Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra as lead cast in his film," she writes.
Vijayendra Mohanty, who writes on contemporary Indian society and culture writes on the saffronising of medicine. "It would have understood that at a time when medicine is essential for the survival of millions, questioning the merit of life-saving medicine by quacks in saffron robes is dangerous to our collective health," he writes.
Meanwhile, Studio 41 brings you the latest in cricketing action from around the world through Sports Quota. Curated specially for the desi fan. If that is your jam, you are in for a treat!

An Ordinary Man's Guide to Radicalism: An Excerpt by The New India Foundation

An Ordinary Man’s Guide to Radicalism: An Excerpt

The police had issued four sketches of suspects after the Delhi blasts. Four sketches for three men. One of them wore a skullcap, the others had trimmed beards. None of these sketches matched the portraits that the newspapers published of those killed in the encounter. In the coming days and weeks, sceptics pointed out that the dead men had all presented authentic documents for SIM-card verification. The police responded that they had been overconfident, implying that the Terrorists had disguised themselves as Normal Human Beings – as students, as working men. Normal Human Beings.

We Don't Deserve Dibakar Banerjee by Anisha Saigal

We Don't Deserve Dibakar Banerjee

There are a lot of reasons to fixate on Dibakar Banerjee’s artistic sensibilities. You have to appreciate the guts of the man who opted for Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra as lead cast in his film. Extracting fine acting out of that duo is no easy task by any means, a fact I corroborate after having seen Sardar Ka Grandson (2021) and The Girl On The Train (2021) in the last 90 days. On top of that gamble, making a memorable work of art out of Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar calls for all the accolades for the filmmaker here.

तमिल मूवी कर्णन रिव्यू :  सिर्फ दो शब्द "मस्ट वाच" ही निकलते हैं बावजूद भाषाई दुरूहता के ! by Prakash Jain

तमिल मूवी कर्णन रिव्यू : सिर्फ दो शब्द "मस्ट वाच" ही निकलते हैं बावजूद भाषाई दुरूहता के !

इस मास्टरपीस फिल्म के लिए अंग्रेजी सबटाइटल रेफर करते करते देखने का कष्ट उठाना बनता है ! थैंक्स टू ओटीटी प्लेटफॉर्म अमेजन प्राइम वीडियो ! एक बात और जो मन में हैं यदि #StayHome ना होते तो शायद  किसी अच्छे हिंदी या अंग्रेजी कंटेंट की खोज  में कर्णन के लिए प्ले बटन नहीं दबता ! बटन दबा नहीं कि एक बमुश्किल ९-१० साल की लड़की, जिसे शायद कोई दौरा टाइप पड़ा है और चूँकि मुंह से झाग निकल रहे हैं, बीच सड़क पर गिरी तड़प रही है, उसके आसपास से ढेर सारी बसें निकल रही हैं लेकिन  कोई भी मदद  को आगे नहीं आता ! बच्ची वहीं दम भी तोड़ देती है ! फिर इसी सीन का विहंगम दृश्य भी हाथों हाथ फ़्लैश होता है ! बस ! मन में तमाम सवाल घुमड़ने लगे कि एक भी बस रुकी क्यों नहीं, किसी ने मदद क्यों नहीं की, जबरदस्त सिनेकला की बानगी पहले ही सीन में है तो आखिर बात क्या है आदि आदि और फिर क्या था ढाई घंटे लगा ही दिए जवाबों के लिए !

The saffronising of medicine by Vijayendra Mohanty

The saffronising of medicine

A responsible government, during times of pandemic, would have taken the threats posed by quacks seriously. It would have understood that at a time when medicine is essential for the survival of millions, questioning the merit of life-saving medicine by quacks in saffron robes is dangerous to our collective health.
