View(s): By Shashi Tharoor NEW DELHI – In recent weeks, Indian politics have been roiled by controversy over something that hasn’t happened yet: the government’s redrawing of the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies, which is likely to happen within the next few years, after a new census is carried out.

Somewhere between the twilight of the Jazz Age and the beginning of the Great Depression, Scott Fitzgerald was being paid $4,000 per short story by the Saturday Evening Post, the highest circulated weekly magazine in the United States.

An utterly brilliant piece by @suvirsaran. Powerfully and movingly written from the heart.
"We live in a world being torn open—not by knives and guns alone—but by narratives. Fake news is now gospel. Empathy is seen as weakness. Diversity, once our pride, is now a battleground. The woke liberal and the fascist fanatic are tearing each other down, not realising https://t.co/a38anthD7f
