The New York-based author, psychiatrist and mental health advocate uses her immense knowledge to create compelling stories connected to the human psyche. For her latest novel, The Guilt Pill, she presents a unique story of a working mother and wife who seems to have everything, but is in fact constantly swimming against the tide and struggling to stay afloat.

The immigration white paper has been delayed to after the May local elections. The delay is sensible, as US president Donald Trump’s tariff games make economic conditions less predictable than ever, but necessary too. UK government ministers know how they want to talk about immigration – that control matters – but are torn about what policies that leads to. There are real dilemmas of control.

IRRESPECTIVE of whether one supports Narendra Modi’s brand of politics or not, there is no doubt India’s prime minister is a remarkable man. Much of what has been happening in the country over the past decade has been because of him. He turns 75 on September 17, 2025, in a country where the retirement age for most people in the public sector is around the 60 mark.

There have been calls for Indians to learn their history from books rather than ill-informed WhatsApp messages, after a Bollywood film featuring the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb triggered communal tensions in parts of the country. The film is called Chhaava – meaning "lion cub" – in which 40 minutes out of 136 are dedicated to depicting how Aurangzeb tortures and finally executes Sambhaji Maharaj, a valiant Hindu ruler.

THE British departed India when the country they had ruled more or less or 200 years became independent in 1947. But what they left behind, especially in Calcutta (now called Kolkata), are their clubs. Then, as now, they remain a sanctuary for the city’s elite. One evening, I am invited to dinner at the Bengal Club by a friend, Devdan Mitra, deputy editor of the Telegraph, an English-language newspaper. The club, the oldest in India, will celebrate its 200th anniversary in February 2027.

SINCE I happened to be passing through Udaipur [in Rajasthan], I thought I would look up “Shriji” Arvind Singh Mewar. He didn’t formally have a title since Indira Gandhi, as prime minister, abolished India’s princely order in 1971 by an amendment to the constitution. But everyone – and especially his former subjects – knew his family ruled Udaipur, one of the erstwhile premier kingdoms of Rajasthan. At independence in 1947, some 565 princely states joined the Indian union.

THE British Museum’s well-researched new exhibition, Ancient India: living traditions, from May 22-October 19, 2025, will have profound appeal for Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists in the UK. Britain has more than a million Hindus, with the proportion born in this country – now probably 60–70 per cent – increasing year on year as the first generation fades away. It is often said that Hinduism is not so much a religion as a way of life. The same can be said for Jainism and Buddhism.

Few films manage to be both a record-breaking success and a lightning rod for controversy at the same time. But L2: Empuraan, the much-hyped sequel to Lucifer, has done exactly that. The Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial, starring Mohanlal, has not only rewritten and shattered box office history but also sparked a nationwide debate on censorship, political narratives, and artistic freedom.
