Pakistan’s pavilion at the Venice Biennale is a great breakthrough for the designers. It’s also a great feat in reclaiming the identity of Pakistan as a melting pot of art and culture.
It is necessary to break the spell of socialist dogma on the imagination of those attracted by its Utopia as the only scientific way of progress, wrote MA Venkatarao in 1963.
While bond yields tend to fall amid low inflation & interest rate cuts, market experts say they’ve been rising due to concerns over tax collections, fiscal deficit & potential impact of US tariffs.
It is one of the most advanced long-range air defence and anti-missile radars. It has been acquired under an about USD 145-million deal signed in 2020.
To be truly functional and durable, even eternal, a state doesn’t just need a leader, a party or an ideology. It needs functional and robust institutions.
All art is beautiful and truthful. Some art can be political, but only when it is beautiful and truthful. Otherwise it is just propaganda by another name.
I am sorry but articles and thinking such as this fill me with dread. He is a Supreme Court judge and in line to be a CJI (just like his father). Those who talk about marginalized people and look at everything with a political eye loose sense of perspective and balance. He is the judge who uses injudicious language such as “constitutional fraud”. He was also the judge on the Sabrimala case where his jurisprudence showed scant respect for other perspectives. Worse in his zeal to be right, he didn’t even care about fundamental principles such as “lack of standing” that the supreme court discovered in a parallel case involving women in mosques.
Followed decisions of the Supreme Court regularly with dillegence.
Justice Chandrchud and Justice Nariman are perhaps the rare breed of judges who truly adorn the seat of the highest Court with intellect, grace and dignity.
“Art opens the space for the marginalised to be seen and heard. Let’s not forget, all art is political. If it were not, art would merely be an ornament – of colour, of words, or music. It is this power of art that I wish to share with you today.”
Justice Chandrachud very aptly defines the premise of his talk, and gives a poignant example of a series of sketches called, Hungry Bengal which brought out a social tragedy in a rather striking and convincing manner.
Actually, true art is naive. It emanates effortlessly from a free, unshackled mind. (A shackled, or ‘affected’ mind produces art with a limited outlook, or worse, even propaganda). But because true art diffuses out of the depths of our subconscious, it carries the colour of everything that our subconscious is steeped in – – our contemporary social reality, in brief. Only such art can flow out spontaneously. We live in a world where sufferings are caused largely by political and economic severity, so that becomes a fertile field for a sensitive artist.
While the article is informative and thought-provoking, I fail to see how it is proper for a person holding judicial office to publish their opinions on a for-profit news media platform.
