Close ties with the RSS ensure Jai Ram Thakur’s elevation as the new chief minister of Himachal Pradesh
For the election-obsessed BJP, the selection of Jai Ram Thakur as the new chief minister of Himachal Pradesh might come handy even in Karnataka, where assembly elections are due in May. The five time MLA, who belongs to the politically powerful Rajput community, is married to Sadhana, a Kannadiga doctor. They met in the mid-1990s in Jaipur when they were members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the student wing of the RSS.
It is too early to say whether BJP president Amit Shah will use Thakur's services in Karnataka. However, his elevation marks a generational shift in Himachal politics. It could be the end of the active political career of veterans Prem Kumar Dhumal and Shanta Kumar of the BJP and outgoing chief minister Virbhadra Singh of the Congress.

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 oneâs 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 donât 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.
