Unfortunately I have a conflicting commitment on 6/10 or else would have loved to participate in your dialogue with Rahul Bhatia. Your piece as usual is superb. There's much to learn from your writing. And to be honest, the BJP is sounding tired of its own tropes - how much Hindu Muslim can one keep parroting? What is dangerous is the seemingly near capitulation of the judiciary in High Courts on various judgments including Jaggi Vasudev's Isha Centre Probe and the stay on FM Nirmala Sitharaman's FIR. I have been thinking we are a banana republic since the scams in the UPA era, but this level of depradation (is that a right and strong enough term?) is unheard of in my time on Planet E. It's shameful and I know that I look at our judiciary with a suspicious and jaundiced and nauseated eye. Sorry for the rant. But you know these things hurt, more than heartbreak - it's festering, lingering, brooding and depressing. Thank you again for your perspicacity.

Gosh! The situation seems to have reversed in Haryana. What happened though?

Is it that people's "angst" cannot be taken at face value, but they have only learned to hide their bigotry?
