Neither in Support nor Against
Criticism of public personalities is nothing new. In fact, the essence of time lies in the continuous evaluation of public figures from time to time. The more we advance in time, the more distinct and discernible the impact made by a man of the bygone era becomes.
The Indian pantheon of personalities is a rich one with political parties of all hues sharing space in a multiparty democracy. If you…

Kashmir: a dissection
Kashmir is equivalent of the Paradise, known for its idyllic beauty, vales and people. However, its claim to ignominy in the past 70 years has been the gory war against itself, waged by two lands born out of the same womb.
If one needs to find the worst victim of politics and parochialism, Kashmir by most counts will dis-grace the first position. The recent killing of one of the brightest minds…

Federal Fight at the Capital
Indian democracy has seen many ups and downs. There have been attempts to enfeeble the basic features of our Constitution. There have been efforts to exploit the loopholes in our jurisprudence. However, these reactionary forces mostly have not upturned the cherished ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity.
However, one thing that worries most Constitutional experts and the vigilant citizenry…

When David defeated Goliath
We, the people of this country take pride in our civilization and heritage. However, India may also be bigoted, archaic and immensely patriarchal. Salma’s story epitomizes the pitfalls of our values. A young woman, who grew up in a conservative Muslim family had to fetter her goals, yet she never gave up her dreams. Islam happens to be a conservative religion, where change is difficult, evolution…

It is baffling to know that the Union Govt is ready to spend 400 cr for the sake of Hindi, while poverty in its deadliest form breeds in the Hindi heartland.

It incenses you when your home state makes it to the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Bengal is burning again, and the law and order machinery seems to have failed in keeping a sensitive border area calm. Philosophical platitudes, Verses of Tagore and Nazrul seldom works when religious passions run supreme. The liberal, secular outlook of a highly hollow and respected Bengali intelligentsia…

Bengal- a mystery stranger than fiction
Bengal- a mystery stranger than fiction
Reality at times is stranger than fiction. As a Bengali born and brought up in Calcutta, the childhood was mired with both political romanticism and opportunism. Unlike the North, the Indian Bengal saw “ideology driven” politics where students galloped on the campuses with huge portraits of Marx and Lenin dotting the processions. Behind this facade however, lied another Bengal where the state was…

Key takeaways….
Bengal verdict is sound and clear. The highly intelligent voter has again proved, why she is the vanguard of democracy. The elections were made out to be bipolar. In reality it never was. The punditry suggested that this time around, there will be a haddahaddi lorai, a fight to the finish.But the post 1967 tradition just had a new lease of life with the over the top majority for the TMC. Here the…

Do dooni char
As we move slowly into the third year of Achche Din, the question of too many contradictions look to scratch Modi’s eventful reign. However, his personal report card should be a source of relief for a government carrying the liability as well as the responsibility of being a one man show-at least tangentially. Controversies are a part and parcel of any government. In Modi’s case the issue is no…

Judiciary- torchbearer or trespasser?
Lord Bryce once said,”If the lamp of justice goes out in darkness, how great is that darkness!” Montesquieu tried to appear as a moderator in the tug of war between the various institutions of a functional democracy. The Separation of Powers proved to be a futile experiment as the difference between legitimate intervention and interference came to seen as highly spurious. The present Government…

জীবন ও সংগ্রামের মূল্য
পরিতক্ত জীবন কাউকে কী শান্তি দিতে পারে। হয়তো নয়। কিন্তু মানুষ যখন দেয়ালের সঙ্গে মিলিয়ে যেতে বাধ্য হয়, যখন নতুন কিছু পাওয়া কিংবা চাওয়ার ক্ষমতা টুকু হারিয়ে ফেলে, তখন কী জীবনকে সম্মুখ সমরে বুঝে নিতে একটু বাড়তি সুবিধে হয়? দার্শনিক না হয়েও বলা যায়, জীবন মানুষকে চরম রোষানলে নিয়ে গিয়ে তাকে চারিপাশের সঙ্গে বেঁধে ফেলতে সমর্থ হয়। তখনই শুরু হয় সংগ্রাম যাতে প্রকৃতির সঙ্গে মানিয়ে নেওয়া যায়। তাহলে কী…

"Swamy & enemies"
“Swamy & enemies”
The Congress Party is in a state of irreversible decline. This is the moot story one can hear in the lanes and bylanes of political grapevine. One can surely understand the condition of the party from a series of electoral setbacks and the Agusta Kickbacks have only legitimised the party’s ill famed mirage of corruption. But the people by now are tired hearing of corruption as all political…

Lolita, ask ‘her’ to leave today
See I want to permanently return to Kolkata after 2 years. And if Didi is still the Chief Minister, I shudder to believe what will be the consequences. Bengalis are known to lateback, their dna is full of indolence but brains morphed with politics. The intellectual class mostly believes she is unbearable. True she is. Though I necessarily never subscribe to the propaganda of the ABP- Mamata has…

2016 and beyond-a Factual analysis
If the CPM- Congress alliance strikes gold in this Bengal elections, it can actually mean doom to a number of political parties, especially the current ‘Modified’ BJP. The Congress is content playing the second or the third fiddle with no desire to catch up. Their ekla cholo re efforts have not paid off in Bihar(2010) and UP(2012) and in 2014 it scored a duck in many politically relevant states…

The Secret Diary of A CongRed
30/4/16-8:30 pm Inqalaab Zindabaad! Was hearing Majrooh Sultanpuri. Zara hatke, Zara Baachke, yeh hain Bombay meri jaan. Ki bhalo ki bhalo. Marx thakle nije eshe dialectics poraten Majrooh ke. Pardon my Hindi. Though it is a bit better than the condition of my party. I am a Communist and I am an opportunist. But why should I care? Is there any party in this country which can flaunt its…

Cometh the truth
There is an old adage in Bengali- Sin doesn’t even spare its father. Leaving the responsibility of admonishing the gender prejudice in the idiom to someone else, it is time perhaps to revisit the responsibility of truth and vice-versa. Can my truth be loyal to yours? Can your truth be omnipresent? Can there be something between the lines? Am I being unnecessarily cynical by magnifying the…

An open letter to Kanhaiya Kumar
आदरनीय Kanhaiyaji, I hope you are all wrong, because you basically hate the ‘right’. Many people including me will today feel relieved by your ‘betrayal’. Not because Vibhishan and Mir Jafar happen to be our ancestors, but because in modern days you just have too many intellectual insomniacs striving to seer the air of myopic popularity. E.g?-those ‘Hindustan loving’, Pakistani and Bangladeshi…
