Pawarful Slapstick
Once upon a time, you really hadn't arrived in Indian politics unless you'd had footwear hurled at you. But things change fast in politics and the flavour of the day is the slap.

As we have learnt, not only did he plan attacks on India, he may have been involved in the 26/11 attacks, in the explosion in STD cases in Bollywood, and responsible for the high price of vegetables! But there are... » READ MORE

10 Markers Of The New Indian Socialista
The new India of booms and busts (courtesy the expanding silicone implant industry), has also spawned it own species of Facebook fiends and Twitter twits who bear the mark of the neo-liberal.

Given the porosity of the Indian defence procurement establishment, we at Jaal, always looking for an easy buck but hardly ever making one, decided to undertake... » READ MORE
Back in history, circa 2011, you would’ve been hard-pressed to find a native Bong who didn’t want to get rid of the Communist junta in the State. That is, apart from the apparatchiks. Trinamul Congress leader Mamata Banerjee was the saviour.
