ASHAMED THAT KERALA'S MAIN SOURCE OF REVENUE IS LIQUOR AND LOTTERY
THE WEEK India|November 27, 2022
As the tussle between the governor and the gov-ernment continues, the Pinarayi Vijayan cabinet removed Governor Arif Mohammad Khan as chancellor of Kerala Kalamandalam, deemed to be university, amending the rules of the institution.

ASHAMED THAT KERALA'S MAIN SOURCE OF REVENUE IS LIQUOR AND LOTTERY

The ruling Left Democratic Front plans to replace Khan as chancellor of all state universities, as well. An ordinance to this effect was sent to the Raj Bhavan on November 12. As the governor is unlikely to clear the ordinance, the government is proceeding with the unusual move of convening an assembly session in December to pass a bill to that end.

Law Minister P. Rajeev said that even if the governor kicked the ordinance upstairs to the president, there were no legal obstacles in passing the bill in the assembly. If an assembly session is convened in December, the government will also be able to avoid the governor’s customary policy address to the house in early 2023.

 The LDF is also trying to ramp up political pressure against Khan. Under the banner of a non-political forum called Vidyabhyasa Samrakshana Koottayma (Save Education Forum), the front on November 15 organised a massive rally outside the Raj Bhavan, accusing the governor of acting against Kerala’s interests. The government, however, faced a major setback after the Kerala High Court quashed the appointment of K. Riji John as vice chancellor of Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies, citing procedural violations. The verdict would strengthen the governor’s position that there has been executive interference in the matters of state universities.

William Dalrymple goes further back

Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.

The bleat from the street

What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans

If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
