His interest in politics was driven by Periyar and Annadurai’s oratory and their fight for justice Karunanidhi: A Life in Politics, a new biography of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader, tracks his political rise and years as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The book talks of the people who influenced Mr. Karunanidhi, his literary bent of mind, and his complex relationship with supporter-turned-political rival M.G. Ramachandran and the impact that it had on the State’s politics. An excerpt from the book on his formative years: It was a 50-page book in Tamil, part of the syllabus, titled Panagal Arasar that caught the teenager’s fancy. Karunanidhi remembers that only he in the entire class knew that book by heart. This was his introduction to politics and political thought. Panagal Arasar was one of the founders of the Justice Party, which many see as the precursor to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). With Periyar’s launch of the Self-Respect Movement in 1926, students acr...

👉 A prescription for engaging science writing   👈 It cannot be easy to make the story of the mosquito seem like an absorbing, pacy thriller. But journalist Sonia Shah does this masterfully in her book The Fever: How Malaria Has Ruled Humankind for 500,000 Years, adding yet another work to the growing pile of contemporary writings on medicine. Shah’s chronicle has been released at the right time in India — in the summer before the monsoon rains come, the season when mosquitoes thrive. She trails the pesky vectors and the tenacious malaria-causing parasite that they harbour, the tragedies, and the continuing onslaught of the fever that’s been around for millions of years despite numerous drugs and pesticides. Shah’s book is part of an emerging genre of writing on health that’s caught the attention of readers who are not only students, researchers and academics. Writers like her have begun to tease medicine out of its rarefied preserve by using splendid prose to make niche c...

👉They are challenging the very essence of government and politics in Indian democracy👈 The recent riots in West Bengal and Bihar have got stuck in the gullet of Indian democracy. These riots are disturbing not only as new rituals of violence but as part of the more cynical narratives of electoral democracy. In fact, as acts of violence, they are depressing thrice over as events. First, as premeditated acts of brutality followed by a sterile weakness of governmental response. What is even more sinister is the narrative of legitimacy built in the aftermath of a riot to normalise them. Let’s try to understand the changing morphology of riots with West Bengal and Bihar as illustrations. 👉Ram Navami violence Between communal riots and the lynch mob, India has added a new dimension to its repertoire of violence. But unlike the lynch mob, which feeds on a hunt for an individual, the riot has a complexity we have not fully grasped. Partly this is because riots have changed struc...

💥The gruesome rape and murder of an eight-year-old Bakherwal girl in Jammu has brought the nomadic tribe under the spotlight. Peerzada Ashiq reports on their itinerant lifestyle and the new challenges confronting them💥 Tahira Begum, all of eight years old, is confident that she is mentally and physically tough enough for the arduous trek across the Pir Panjal mountain range. The passes are yet to open. A sudden snowfall last week brought nine inches of snow and closed down the Mughal Road that connects southern Kashmir’s Shopian district with Pir Panjal’s Poonch district. But that does not deter Begum from the journey she and her family have embarked on. Two tents and a few utensils are all they take with them. Food supplies include corn flour, rice, and herbal salt tea, to be supplemented by whatever the forests provide on the way. “Salt tea keeps us full of energy,” Begum says. Despite the sudden snowfall, this winter has been warmer than the previous ones, prompting Begu...

💫Indian classical music can be a spiritual experience but there is also a tradition of thought and artistic pursuit. Recently, a revered practitioner and guru of Indian classical music said that all such music is spiritual or enmeshed in spirituality. His comment left me baffled and mildly irritated. But of course, he is not the first to make such a proclamation. While the need for musicians to embrace spirituality is unknown to me, it seems an easy escape route lest they be required to discuss performance, composition and musical philosophy. The myth of spirituality impedes conversations about form, origin and the presentation of performance. This creates a pliant audience that is expected to feel devotion and merely receive and exit rather than question their experience. The performance becomes a blindfold, not an enabling experience for the audience. The listening to and reception of this music could be a spiritual experience for some but Indian classical music is an evol...

💥Fixing road design and enforcing safety protocols should be priorities💥 Bald data on Indians killed or injured in road accidents put out annually by the Centre obscure the human impact of the carnage on national and State highways, as well as urban and rural roads. Given the level of official indifference, it would be unsurprising if the deaths this week of at least 23 children and many others in a school bus crash in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, or of the 18 labourers in a lorry accident in Maharashtra, or of nine people in a truck mishap in Uttar Pradesh are mere blips on the radar of administrators. Bringing sanity to the roads of a fast-motorising country seems to be nobody’s responsibility. India as a whole is inured to the ghastly toll every year, although the Supreme Court has been trying to shake governments out of their apathy through the Committee on Road Safety it constituted in 2014 and several specific and time-bound directions. The response of the Centre and the State...

👉How science is stepping in to save the northern white rhino from extinction The last male northern white rhinoceros, Sudan, died on March 19 at the age of 45, at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, where he spent the last nine years under the watch of a 24-hour armed guard. There was a time when northern white rhinos could be found in southern Chad, the Central African Republic, southwestern Sudan, northwestern Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 1960, more than 2,000 were remaining, according to a World Wildlife Fund report. The number shrank to 15 in 1984 as they were hunted for their horns, an important ingredient in traditional Vietnamese medicine. Only two northern white rhinos remain now: Sudan’s daughter Najin and granddaughter Fatu, neither of whom will be able to carry a pregnancy to term. Where traditional conservation methods failed to save this subspecies, science is stepping in. From the sperm of four northern white rhino bulls and living...

👇How to reduce the spread of fake news Fake news, also known as false news, has been a much-discussed phenomenon since the epochal Brexit referendum and the election of Donald Trump as U.S. President, yet has resurfaced in a major way in the past week with news of the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data crisis. This crisis has raised troubling questions about the harvesting of the personal data of millions, and their use in influencing those two defining political events of 2016. A recent article in Science analyses the prevalence of false news and delves into the reasons for its proliferation. The results of the research, which studied 126,000 stories tweeted by approximately three million people more than 4.5 million times between 2006 and 2017, might leave cynics unsurprised: The MIT researchers found that false news spreads “farther, faster, deeper, and more widely” than true news. Yet what might surprise even cynics is that this difference was not due to bots and automato...

How Rash Behari Bose introduced spicy curry to Japan as part of his anti-colonial struggle Ask the average person to guess Japan’s national dish and they’ll likely hazard sushi or soba. But an equally fair contender for the title is curry. The Japanese Navy even has a “Curry Friday” tradition where all navy canteens offer curry and rice as a Friday staple. Curry in Japan bears only a superficial resemblance to its Indian ancestor. It is more glutinous and is usually mixed with wheat flour. It’s also sweeter, and often includes ingredients like apple and honey. History of the dish In Japan, the dish dates to the 1870s when naval officers of the British Royal Navy who had picked up the curry habit in India passed it on to Japanese colleagues. The earliest recipes for raisu karī (rice curry) in Japanese cookbooks were lifted from Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management, in which the ingredients included curry powder, flour and sour apples. Sin...
