For all their colonial underpinnings, postcards from Hyderabad also inadvertently preserve a trace of local memory: a glimpse of a street, a face, a forgotten name.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.

When you need to justify the magnamity of an act -even if comedy- by turning to words like “upper caste”, “Hindu” etc. you know where this is coming from. The author might as well add her name to the list if a wry smile on the readers face qualifies as mission accomplished.
I have followed some of the comics mentioned here, even seen live performances. Don’t think they funny at all. Which is true for most comics in India these days. Everyone thinks that they’re John Stewart or Bill Mahr.
