Beyond the scale of the India Art Fair lies the deeper pleasure of discovering the elusive new artist, a fresh voice, an unexpected gallery quietly holding its ground.
Trade language can feel like sleight of hand to those who live with its consequences. But it would be a serious mistake to allow ill-informed agitations to dominate the response.
The hubris lies in pretending that journalists are somehow seekers of the whole truth. This hubris was punctured when social media started calling out mistakes and biases.
It is not capitalism which is responsible for the evils of permanent mass unemployment, but the policies of the stateman which paralyse its working, wrote BS Iyer in 1971.
The first Bridgerton kitty party was a roaring success. Aunties came dressed in their best saris. I would like to know what this kitty’s Whistledown is saying in her WhatsApp goss group.
Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATiC, BMW X3 30 XDrive M-Sport Pro & Volkswagen Tayron R-Line 4MOTION are assembled in India, so upcoming FTA with the EU will not make them any cheaper.
By next weekend, Bangladesh will have an elected government. This is India’s moment to reboot broken ties by moderating the ‘ghuspethiya’ rhetoric in poll-bound West Bengal and Assam.
Ibn Khaldun Bharati, the inimitable contributor to The Print, raises formidably valid questions in this so well-informed article of his. Who can disagree with any of his arguments here? Only those who are pledged to set views on any question that’s worthy of thought; only those whose sense of compassion is severely limited to a certain species of human animals let alone non-human ones. As for myself, I constantly feel distressed by the fact of other animals being put through mortal pain all the time and in a variety of ways. Most of us tend to forget that non-human animals too are endowed with the central nervous system and suffer no less terribly when tortured or their throats are slit than we humans do in the same situation. I doubt if the majority of those who relish meat can stand the sight of animals being slaughtered: the way they look—terrified—and shiver, become incontinent, thrash about and writhe in agony. Death is nothing compared to the pain one suffers while being put to death. Can one dispute what Clive, the protagonist in the novel Amsterdam, thinks: “As far as the welfare of every other living form on earth was concerned, the human project was not just a failure, it was a mistake from the very beginning.” That is, every other living form that has the central nervous system.
Going by his writings, Ibn Khaldun Bharati combines intelligence, erudition and compassion. I feel so proud of him.
The article is filled with falsehoods, Bakrid becomes Baqreed & a warped explanation created to connect with Surah Baqarah – not only wholly inaccurate but designed to insult the faith of muslims.
Made up historical aspects falsely creating aspects about the eid being about the subjugation of Hindus – where is the historical evidence for the same.
The entire aspect of it being known as Bakra Eid in common parlance is twisted & contorted to fit into a narrative masquerading as being in the interest of poor muslims while plying to the stereotypical imagery of backwardness, primitivism of muslims & presenting it as anti-hindu in the same breath. An act that would invite the law to your doorstep, a shutdown of your website even if it was done in reference to the majoritarian faith.
Spare us your pathetic half baked knowledge & propagandist attempt to heap yet another set of pathetic imagery on the muslims.
We understand your desperate need to get into the good books of the powers that be, stop making muslims your stepping stones in your effort to ingratiate yourself.
An abhorrent piece of journalism, but then when you are in the race to bottom I wouldn’t
be surprised to see you sinking to lower depths soon.
A good tangible step would be to enact a law that bans ritual slaughter of any and all kinds for the sole reason of being irrational, unnecessary cruelty.
No one should have objections – after all, Islam, too, advocates for a rational outlook, yes?
Sure. Do it. I am sure all Hindus would agree to ban animal sacrifice. But Muslims will start rioting in the street the day the govt bans “qurbani” 🙂
Btw 99.99% Hindus do not believe in “Bali”. I wonder what the number is for the musalmaans

If something is intrinsic to faith, it should continue. Unhindered, unimpeded.
Why only Qurbani … You can advice to stop Bali also.
