ABOUT THE BOOK Dancing with Joy is an inspiring memoir by Ananda Shankar Jayant, one of India’s most celebrated classical dancers, whose life unfolds at the intersection of art, intellect and public service.

In a major climbdown by the Modi government, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday tendered his resignation, bowing to the central demand of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and student protesters.

CJP spokespersons described the resignation as a “first and necessary step” but stopped short of calling off the agitation. In statements issued shortly after Pradhan’s post on X, party representatives said the demand for the minister’s exit had been met. Yet, other items on…

When Kasturi is found dead, Ravi…

Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s reply to the Motion of Thanks on the Governor’s Address during the first session of the 17th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on June 22 was much more than a customary response to the Governor’s speech. It was a carefully structured political statement that sought to define his Government’s priorities, articulate his ideological position and, more significantly, project his politics beyond the boundaries of Tamil Nadu. In his 40-minute address, it becomes evident that, for Vijay, Tamil Nadu is not merely the State he governs but the political platform from which he intends to build a…

In an interview…

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has formally challenged a United Nations report on the deadly July-August 2024 protests, claiming that its estimate of protest-related deaths was grossly exaggerated and helped legitimise her government’s overthrow. In a letter sent to Volker Türk on Thursday, Hasina’s legal counsel, Steven Powles KC, urged the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to issue a public correction and retraction of findings contained in its February 2025 fact-finding report on Bangladesh. The OHCHR report had estimated that “as many as 1,400 people” may have been killed during the protests and unrest…
