A ban without enforcement is symbolism. A ban without social change is theatre. And slowly, citizens begin to treat every new prohibition not as law, but as background noise.
American Psycho gave us Patrick Bateman. In HBO's Industry, Yasmin Kara-Hanani, played by Marisa Abela, channels convicted sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein's former partner Ghislaine Maxwell.
Who is responsible for the years that Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Vijay Nair lost? For the choked governance that Delhi faced for three years?
Even if Narendra Modi is too petrified to take a stand, the Congress and Sonia Gandhi have rightly criticised this outright violation of international norms.
Exports to the UAE, Gulf remittances and shipping are at risk as the Strait of Hormuz is closed. A weaker rupee, and soaring gold liabilities could stoke inflation.
For too long, sales misconduct has been treated as an operational issue created by overzealous relationship managers. The elevation of the issue to the board level signifies that mis-selling is a governance failure.
The lessons of earlier American regime-change efforts should be obvious. The dismantling of Iran’s regime could lead to the breakdown of state authority and the rise of warlords.
Major energy infrastructure is in the crosshairs of the conflict, raising risks of the biggest shock since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Qatar’s largest LNG plant remains shut, fuelling supply fears.
Sinking of the ship has raised eyebrows in the Indian defence and security establishment. Lankan navy has recovered several bodies, believed to be of crew members.
The Pakistani political leadership is weak and devoid of any intellect. Its diplomacy is entirely India-China-US focused and suffers from a presumptive view of Afghanistan as a vassal.
Suchi got opportunity to sing in his presence because she rose up in life through her talent. Nobody can deny her immense talent. That’s why he even spoke with her.This is not caste privilege .
In movie industry everybody will have some caste connections to somebody else Madam. In tamil media , no other caste is harassed like Brahmins for just being one. This article is proof of it.
Dear madam,
I understand that this is an opinion piece and you are welcome to express your opinion and I even agree with much of your opinion. But I have to comment that the entire article takes the form of a social media post, rather than an article. Other than your comment about the trash quality of the ‘insider’ videos, there is nothing of substance to this article. I am a member of The Print and am a member because I want pure journalism and not celebrity gossip parading as news. Until I read your piece, I was not familiar with any of this gossip. So you have simply joined their bandwagon by commenting on the trash being put out by these people.
Of course it is badly written. Of course the writer is guilty of all the same ‘crimes’ she accuses others of committing. Sensational journalism…youtube joyrnalism. Taking a remark out of context and blowing it out of all proportion. Suchitra did not learn Carnatic music. She was into western music. She could have been casteist but decided to be different. And there is no doubt that she can sing well. What is required and important is to check the veracity of her accusations , not comment about Brahmins getting a better deal in the entertainment industry.
Tambram girls (w)are expected to learn carnatic music as it’s the culture to sing carnatic songs during marriages and festivals like Navrathri Lakshmi Pooja etc. May be that was the context.
She tells a new story every other day. Boring.
I saw the interview. Suchitra never said that’s how she got the job. This article is blatant lying and extrapolation of the lie .
Makes one wonder what privilege does this writer enjoy to become a journalist with such poor integrity and skills.

Why is gossip given so much importance even in The Print? I thought The Print is meant for some serious Journalism.
