Last updated on: February 23, 2012 at 5:01 am By Desh Kapoor

With fame and power comes a certain level of brashness. In India, that brash nature is backed by complete impunity with which law is played with by the wealthy and powerful. We have seen that with the business (Jessica Lall case) and in Salman Khan’s case. Another recent case underscores the same issue. At an upscale restaurant in Mumbai, a South African businessman Iqbal Sharma was having his food, while people on the adjacent table were making a lot of... Read more

In a world full of Attention Deficits from all of us, it is not surprising that platforms like Facebook and Twitter, where the updates remain in the view for just so long as they aren’t pushed by new ones into relative oblivion – are the most powerful world-wide. Not so long ago, there was a time when stamp collections or scrap books, or photo albums which adorned our shelves were our greatest possession. They were passed from one generation to another.

Sikhism, Hinduism and the Truth

Last updated on: October 31, 2022 at 5:52 pm By Desh Kapoor

I recently came across a blog site, which is fairly interesting. It had an article, where the author was trying to denigrate Vedas and Hinduism in contrast to Sikhism. He tried to suggest that Guru Nanak Dev came up with a new group as a “better” alternative to Hinduism. So, the author starts the article thus: Here’s a reminder of why our Gurus asked us as Sikhs to steer away as far as possible from Hinduism and the Vedas – and... Read more
