Hafta letters: Paywall content, crowd at Kumbh, development of Ahmedabad

NaveenTime-sensitive letter.Great work. Keep upping the game. I want to know: There is so much hype on electoral bonds and Hindenburg report. I want to know why no one is talking about, following up and its consequences. I understand the rest of the media, I want to know why Newslaundry isn’t…

Hafta letters: First family of Bollywood, LTA Punjab, populist schemes

AnonymousIn last week’s Hafta, Chetan Bhagat was spot on when he described how minuscule the demands of a typical Indian are and how not only have they adopted a practice of just being submissive to what's happening in terms of poor services, but religion has been at the core of…

Hafta letters: Canada-India standoff, Khalistan, and US elections

Thanks for the fantastic report on government expenditure on PM’s visits. Can you do an investigation report on the bouquets presented to dignitaries by politicians from government funds? Also, what happens to them after the presentation?

Hello Abhinandan,I have been a big supporter of you and Newslaundry for the past two or three years. I especially love the collaboration with The News Minute and I am excitedly looking forward to the collaboration with East Mojo. I also have feedback. It may sting personally, but I hope…

Hafta letters: CJI-Modi’s Ganesh pooja, arguments on nuqta, work-life balance

Regarding the CJI-PM pooja meet, I disagree with Shardool. In this case perceptions really matter. It is not the question about freedom to practise religion but rather it is about the public perception that there is a separation between the judiciary and the executive. In a time of growing mistrust…

Dear panel,

Hafta letters: Vinesh, Paris Olympics, French politics

The sad reality of Vinesh getting disqualified is that everyone shouting in the fish market (newsrooms) doesn’t know jack about weight cutting. When she was above the limit, she wasn’t eligible and the reason behind that is not because 0.1 kg is nothing. It’s huge!

TV Newsance 257: A trip down the memory lane to media in UPA era

Abhinandan is on hosting duties this week and we decided to take a break from all the craziness of TV news and look back at Newslaundry during the UPA era, when we were still speaking truth to power.

Hafta letters: Lok Sabha mandate, Prashant Kishor, casteist terms

I was quite surprised (and enraged) by such an extreme level of support for Israel from the radical Hindu segment of India (yes, almost everyone belonged to 'Modi Ka Parivar', other than Subramaniam Swami). Has this deep-rooted Islamophobia become so entrenched in our country’s population? (Just look at the backlash…

Hafta letters: Election commission, legacy media and VVPAT

My question is related to Hafta #469. On the organised nature of Ram mandir decor in public spaces, Shardool brushed it off, claiming that I don’t “understand” India. I thought his answer had more to do with his own mandir-time-tribulations than the uniformity of the decor, and Raman sir did…

Hafta letters: State of the nation, divisive speeches, what Mamata is up to

Hi Hafta team, on the topic of elections, I am curious if there is any intellectual capacity or curiousity for alternate models either in the Indian context or elsewhere with the same five-year term or less governments. Clearly, it seems to me that short termism in politics is not really…

Hello,

Hafta letters: Modi rajya, farmers’ agitation, Israel-Palestine

I’m intrigued by the trend in Bollywood over the past decade, where a significant majority of big-screen releases, including films like Pathan, Tiger 3, Fighter, and Article 370, along with forthcoming ones like Yodha, heavily feature themes of hyper-nationalism, patriotism, or religion. It seems the industry is moving away from…
