Understanding the religious riots in Gujrat in February 2002

2007-01-29T05:21:00.000+01:00

I was trying to examine, with an academic impersonality, the political, economic, psychological and social equations (and ambitions too) behind the deadly Gujarat riots that took place in February 2002. Here is one video input. This clip is stolen shamelessly from Bhupinder's weblog. Do watch. Words can be ambiguous, falsifying and prevaricative; pictures are perhaps not.

Friendship day

Suddenly, by a number of dazzling wishing emails in the mailbox, I was awakened to the fact that either today or yesterday had been what they called the Friendship day. Friendship, being the nicest of all relationships, and very importantly because of its universal applicability in all human relations, surely need to be observed, experienced, cherished and as well understood, maybe not for just

Aggression by Israel and it's covering up by the US media

2006-07-30T22:25:00.000+02:00

These days, media, both electronic and print, are the only interface through which the masses look at various momentous events around the world. It takes no time to infer how much power the media wield in shaping up public mind, in influencing them to make their decisions and judgments. Now think of the scenario when the entire media are systematically hijacked to carry out a propaganda campaign

The situation is going from bad to worse. It feels so hopeless that I even lost the desire to engage in any debate and shout anti-war slogans. Now-a-days, news of wars only sends me into silent contemplation. Because I know it is of no use to get emotional and try to prove a point in a stormy debate to a friend on that very cliched subject as to why in a war both the warring sides emerge losers,

For the time being let us just forget what an incredible magician you are with the football. Let us take the opportunity to show our deep respect to you for the extraordinary restraint and calmness you showed despite this. Generations to come will forever remember you for the indomitable courage you displayed throughout your life against all the humiliations meted out to you.

I think I was barely 10 years old then. A movie was being played on the TV and nobody was, in fact, watching, mother was busy feeding the younger brother, father was, perhaps, not home. On top of that, it was a foreign language movie which none of us could understand, black and white, and a very poor quality print. So the situation was overwhelmingly ripe to change the channel immediately or
