Gandhi as an Idea: When Power Performs, and Conscience Watches

30 January offers an apt occasion to assess how far Godse succeeded in wresting away Gandhi from us on that fateful day in 1948. Is there still some Gandhi left at the core of our society, or has Nathuram snatched him away completely after 77 years since his sinister attempt stripped away Gandhi's physical form? Here is another profound piece by K.G. Sharma, who has also included an author's note at the end.

Olympic Dreams Under Political Shadows

The decision to remove Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL has drawn criticism from several commentators. In the following article, K.G.

For a nation aspiring to project itself as a reliable global sporting hub, he argues, this is a costly trajectory.

एक फिल्म, एक शायर: एक वतन

राजेन्द्र भट्ट की कहानी अभी दो दिन पहले ही प्रकाशित हुई है. आम तौर पर हम एक ही लेखक की दूसरी रचना में कुछ गैप रखना चाहते हैं. हमने उनके सामने अपनी ये दुविधा राखी तो उन्होंने बताया कि एक फिल्म पर लिखा है जो पुरानी ना हो जाए. हमने लेख पढ़ा तो पाया कि उसमें फिल्म के अलावा भी जो है, वो बेशकीमती है. आइये, आप भी पढ़िए.

The Geography of Becoming: A Literary Life - Part One

Amandeep Midha is a keen observer of geopolitics - as you must have guessed from his earlier contributions to this magazine.

We are trying to create a platform where our readers will find a place to have their say on the subjects ranging from socio-political to culture and society. We do have our own views on politics and society but we expect friends from all shades-from moderate left to moderate right-to join the conversation. However, our only expectation would be that our contributors should have an abiding faith in the Constitution and in its basic tenets like freedom of speech, secularism and equality. We hope that this platform will continue to evolve and will help us understand the challenges of our fast changing times better and our role in these times.
