  • The rabbit hole down under: inside Sydney’s White Rabbit Gallery

    Dec 17, 2024 | scmp.com | Aarti Betigeri

    Whether it’s the lifelike salaryman hunched over his phone, a forest of cartoonish creatures made from fun clay or a collapsed life-size military tank of the finest Italian leather, they’re all here, inside an art gallery in Sydney, Australia.

  • This summer, could Australia vs India take cricket’s greatest rivalry out of the Anglosphere?

    Nov 21, 2024 | lowyinstitute.org | Aarti Betigeri

    Break out the Tooheys and orange slices. With the first ball today of the Australia-India test series in Perth at the Gabba, Australia’s summer of cricket has officially started. And with it, another stride forward in the ongoing march of stronger relations. Cricket and summer go together like sausages and bread, or rice and dal.

  • Why India’s festive season could hold the key to soft power gains

    Nov 17, 2024 | lowyinstitute.org | Aarti Betigeri

    Earlier this month was Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights that commemorates the triumph of good over evil. I was in Melbourne at the time, and went to a Diwali celebration organised by a local council. It was, by Indian standards at least, a fairly sedate affair: a DJ, a cluster of food trucks, some stalls. It was busy but not heaving, full of South Asians and others, family friendly, safe, happy and calm. Diwali celebrations are now fairly ubiquitous in Australia, particularly Melbourne.

  • What a Kamala Harris victory would mean for women of colour

    Oct 24, 2024 | thesaturdaypaper.com.au | Aarti Betigeri

    Within a fortnight, we’ll know if Kamala Harris has ascended to the highest office in the United States. It would be a historic win on several counts: the first female president, as well as the first woman of colour and the first South Asian. Harris, whose mother is from the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, doesn’t make a big deal of her Indian heritage, rather openly identifying as a Black woman. That doesn’t diminish the enthusiasm among the 5.4 million South Asians in the US.
