JUSTICE LEAGUE
THE WEEK India|November 13, 2022
In the opening scene of Indian Predator: Murder in a Courtroom, a group of women resolutely march on as saris hung on clotheslines flutter in the wind. The juxtaposition is fascinating, for unlike the gently swaying garments, there is no unsteadiness in the women who walk on armed with knives, sickles, hammers and stones.

JUSTICE LEAGUE

The object of their anger is Bharat Kalicharan, better known as Akku Yadav, their neighbour in Kasturba Nagar slum, Nagpur. Yadav had allegedly raped 40 women, beaten up countless men and created terror in the area.

Yadav is bludgeoned to death in a courtroom in the first few minutes of the show. We see his bloodied body, but not his face. The defiant anger on his face is revealed only in the final minutes of the series.

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.
