He said ‘Ours is not a democracy, it is psephocracy.’ This means that electoral votes determine everything. So that is quite obvious in this case.

It just struck me that extremist Hindus put me on a ‘black list’ after I had written a piece called Marriage For Peace during the Kargil War.

And now right-wing extremist Muslims are unhappy with the fact that I have dared to read from Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses.

NOT A TEAPOT
Jokes aside, the Prime Minister is an office of the Constitution, not a teapot to be passed on as a family heirloom. Nor indeed is Chief Minister. Indeed, the whole idea of the Westminster Model was to get away from monarchical practices. Yet, here, we are staring at the possibility of a Queen Mother and a King in just a few months’ time. And it is only in the Congress — and that too at the level of the Prime Minister — that this inheritance thing works.

Dynastic rule by the Congress Party has made a laughing stock of the man who turned around the Indian economy in the early nineties. Have a spine, Prime Minister.

I love the Bill Cunningham documentary. Watch it now.
