GSCASH was unique. Dismantling it is a big blow to the idea of JNU
The freedom and safety that GSCASH offered on campus was as much a part of JNU's ethos as are the PSR Rocks, the red-hued political thought and the late-night paranthas at 24/7 Dhaba. It made JNU what it is – progressive in leaps and bounds over many, many other varsity campuses. → Read More

The Ministry of Utmost Happiness review: A one-dimensional story told in sterling prose
We waited 20 years for this. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness looks like a tome, feels like an epitaph, and seems to be born out of a pregnancy that author-activist Arundhati Roy didn't quite want. → Read More

Half Girlfriend movie review: Doesn't work even if you leave half your brain out before watching
