Echoing this sentiment, Kani Kusruti, who plays a nurse in the film, tells THE WEEK, “I feel all women in India are part of this victory”. But will the win translate into actual change on the ground for women? Kusruti is doubtful. Still, this has never stopped her from taking up unconventional roles that explore the complexity of being a woman, like the IAS officer Kaveri in Maharani or the divisional forest officer Dina in Poacher. This commitment to the truth extends to her life as well. Whether it was dropping her surname as a protest against social hierarchy or speaking out against injustice during the #MeToo movement, boldness, for her, has never been a choice.
Q/ Tell us about your experience at Cannes. Were you expecting to win?
A/ It was really nice but hectic. It was also strange in the way we had to dress up and follow protocols. But overall, it was a beautiful experience and everybody was really warm. I wasn’t expecting to win, but after the premiere and the following day when we walked the red carpet, [seeing] the way people responded to the film, it felt like we had already won. The film resonated with the people who watched it, so it felt like a different victory. I feel all the women in India are a part of this victory and deserve to share this prize.
Q/ Tell us about the film crew's dance on the red carpet that went viral.

When Manmohan engaged Musharraf
No prime minister of India made a more constructive contribution towards establishing an equilibrium between India and Pakistan than Dr Manmohan Singh. Building on the Islamabad Declaration of January 2004, proclaimed jointly by prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and president Pervez Musharraf, Singh initiated with his counterpart a process of sustained dialogue which yielded the most positive results, specifically with regard to the issue of Jammu and Kashmir that, but for the perversity of destiny, might have opened the path to lasting peace and harmony.

Coalition dharma, Congress!
Chatting about UN reforms with a European diplomat at an informal gathering, some of us asked why Britain was still there in the Security Council. They are no longer a military power, nor an economic power. They have a veto, but have never cast it on their own since 1972, the year in which Correlli Barnett published The Collapse of British Power. Worse, they haven't toed a line of their own in the council on any global issue since.

Our strange democracy
Abraham Lincoln is lauded as among the very best presidents the US ever had: the statesman par excellence successfully steered the nation through the devastating and perilous years of the American civil war. Not only did Lincoln manage to keep his country united, he also ensured the passage of the 13th amendment to the US constitution, which abolished slavery.
