Peter Manuel's ‘Cassette Culture’ showed the booming Bhakti music during the '80s and '90s when Anoop Jalota, Gulshan Kumar achieved success by singing the sanitised Bhajans.

Once in a while Ms. De tries her hand at writing something serious and useful. But as usual she messes up. Not a surprise though. For someone who has made a living writing sleazy and cheap stories and “novels”, its really tough to pen something beautiful and insightful.
Nevertheless, she deserves appreciation for trying.
RIP Ms. Fatma Zakaria.
The late Khushwant Singh was a clown. No more no less. However, he was an avowed member of the liberal-secular cabal. As such, other members of this cabal, such as Ms. De, keep patting his back, singing eulogies and glorifying his “deeds”. When he was alive he used to return the favour.
“What if Fatma had not followed her gut instinct, taken that chance with a relatively unknown brat-writer and given me such an incredible break?”. Well then, many of us would have been spared of the gibberish that you have written over the years.
No mention or acknowledgement of the abusive men in her family and those who stayed in Pakistan (& became leaders there!!)
Fatma’s story is of survival and success & not talking about this is somewhat diminises her & whitewashes
Could relate to all that is written. A moving piece! Thank you!
