After India gained freedom from Britain in 1947, some people didn't think a country with so many different regions could stay together. India has managed to stay united, but there have been challenges to its unity. One significant challenge is the Khalistan movement, which wants to create a separate homeland for Sikhs.

The ravages of time have not made these songs stale or shallow. Suchitra died in 2011 at the age of 87 after leading a full life devoted to singing and coaching of aspiring singers.

For the misogynist, waking up on Ganesh Chaturthi morning was disappointing. Overnight the Modi Cabinet had, during the course of an unscheduled meeting, cleared the Women’s Reservation Bill, which had been lying dormant for years much to the giddy happiness of male chauvinists, who deep down in their hearts saw women’s empowerment as a dangerous piece of legislation with diminishing returns for the male folk.
