Some POV, this. – at Noida, India
Those tracking the controversy over #NCLT approving a controversial loan waiver (that's what it is) for #SubhashChandra: Don't be lost in so-called "facts". The underlying issue is the morality surrounding bank loans in India. Without philosophical clarity you can easily get lost in a maze of technical facts and loopholes that Dr Manmohan Singh memorably described as "organised loot and legalised plunder". Clarity means knowing when to put concepts above facts. I don't trust the analytical ability of most Indians including so-called educated ones. Most cannot tell the difference between concept and information. Philosophy and logic must be mandatory in all undergraduate courses for India to be truly Viksit.

Sunday Musings:
A city that once embraced a thousand voices
Now seems to ask: How dare you belong?
And as our students made some noises
Delhi Police, you failed the tehzeeb all along
It's been a month since @DelhiPolice treated the peaceful, students protestors at #JantarMantar the way it did. Those visuals of the atrocities still haunts #Dilliwalahs. How could they do this?

There has been a lot of hard work & passion behind the 3-book series on #Delhi & #Mumbai by Shriti Tyagi. The 3rd - notHERE: The absent-presence -is now out.
What makes this 1 particularly intriguing is the way it lovingly captures things, spaces & experiences that have slowly disappeared from the cities of #Mumbai and #Delhi. It is a charming, evocative look at what has disappeared but we still carry within us.
There is a discussion around the book on 20 August at Museo Camera, Gurgaon. If you happen to be around, do join in. It promises to be an interesting conversation about our cities, their memories and all that has quietly vanished.

There have been many reactions to all that was being said from the ramparts of the Red Fort today. Some good. Some critical. Here's one that is really intriguing👇👇

Not many know of this aspect of Ramanand Sagar's persona. Incredible. Thanks for sharing this. – at Noida, India
Ramanand Sagar of Ramayan fame was a famous Urdu author
The world remembers Ramanand Sagar as the man who brought Ramayan into Indian homes in 1987. Few know that before television & cinema he was one of the finest Urdu novelists of his generation.
Sagar was a scholar of Persian & Urdu. In 1942 Punjab University awarded him the title of Munshi Fazil, equal to a doctorate in Persian. He topped the highest examinations in Urdu & Persian & earned the title Adib e Alam. He began his career as a journalist with Daily Milap in Lahore & rose to become its editor.
In 1941 Tuberculosis nearly took his life. Doctors at a Kashmir sanatorium believed he would not survive. Sagar began writing about his illness under the title Maut Ke Bistar Se. The Lahore magazine Adab e Mashriq published the series & it made him a known name in Urdu literature.
It was the Partition that gave Urdu literature Sagar's masterpiece. Uprooted from Lahore he took refuge in Srinagar. He had seen what hatred does to humans & wanted the world to feel it. Out of this pain was born Aur Insaan Mar Gaya, called by Prof Ishtiaq Ahmad the most humane & politically neutral novel on the Partition.
When Pakistan invaded Kashmir in October 1947 Sagar had to flee again. Pilot Biju Patnaik, evacuating refugees on a Dakota DC 3, mistook his trunk for wealth & kicked it open. Inside lay only handwritten pages, the manuscript of his novel. Patnaik touched his feet on learning who he was.
Sagar did not stay back in Delhi. He left his family with Muslim friends in a Muslim locality, a mark of trust from a man displaced by communal violence, & returned to the Kashmir front. There, among writers like Khwaja Ahmad Abbas & Rajinder Singh Bedi, he completed his novel. Abbas remembered him reading its first chapter & called him a ray of light in a dark room.
Sagar wanted his novel to make readers hate war, killing & rape deeply, believing that was the only way love could grow stronger than hate. Aur Insaan Mar Gaya secured his place among the giants of Urdu fiction, even as the need to feed his family pulled him toward films.

"...a few persons at the top, enjoying prestige and power, are acting like guardians of docile children rather than leaders of a parliamentary democracy..."
This quote from Late Shri C Rajagopalachari fits into the current scenario more than ever before.
Happy Independence Day!

So #travellingsalesman is back in the road - having a simple #workinglunch of Rice, Mutton Roganjosh and Nadu Yakhni. Riganjosh as it ought to be - thin gravy, not oily, red but not spicy (only Kashmiri Chillies) and al dente Nadru (lotus stem) in a delicate yoghurt based sauce.

Food, fun and a famous movement. @HiOnMoon writes an engagingly readable blog on what happened at Jantar Mantar and around, when a #GenZ's humour and good hearts around thumbed a nose at Godi Media.
