Costume is character

Last week’s Amazon Prime Video drop Made in Heaven Season 2 has a scene where a middle-class character, Jazz (played by Shivani in Heaven Season 2 has a scene where a middle-class character, Jazz (played by Shivani Raghuvanshi), speaks of her office: “You can’t do fashion here”. It is such a great moment, almost as if she is addressing the show’s makers themselves. Take us seriously, don’t just dress us up. And yet, it is the dresses that speak louder than the stories. After all, this is India, where the lehenga matters more than the wedding, perhaps even the groom.

Elephants in the room

In the last decade or so, we have seen a strange new genre of Hindi film emerge. Kicked off by 2012’s Vicky Donor, a film about the stigma around sperm donation set in a middle-class milieu, it quickly expanded to comment on fat-shaming, erectile dysfunction, late-age pregnancy, gay love, menstruation, open-air defecation, lesbian love, trans-love, surrogacy, male pattern baldness, more fat-shaming, more homosexuality, sex education, asexuality and masturbation.

Agonies over Macaulay's 2 Ls

Thomas Babington Macaulay was endowed with an encyclopaedic memory—could recite Paradise Lost and Pilgrim’s Progress eyes closed; recalled 40 years later the entire lines of two poems penned by a country versifier that he had read at the age of 13 in a weekly paper on way to school. As a child he was precocious, and had a hunger for books and words. Once a servant spilled hot coffee on his legs; when the hostess asked him a while later how he was feeling, the four-year-old replied, “Thank you, madam; the agony is abated.”

The Republics Of Bharat

Historians say there is evidence of primitive forms of democracy in ancient India: non-monarchical states that governed by committee, kings bound by a council of ministers, and ascetics who convened the world's first parliament. Their ancient ideals, steeped in spirituality and culture, tell us that there is more to democracy than mere elections
