Jaipur Literary Festival and its Global audience

Last updated on: January 23, 2012 at 4:33 pm By Desh Kapoor

Aarti Betigeri on why all the global celebs – like Salman Rushdie and Oprah Winfrey – were centerpiece in a Literary Fest in Jaipur? Finally, a literary congregation which has made writing and reading “sexy” and “global”. The Jaipur Literature Festival had relatively humble beginnings: Its main purpose was to put literature, both in English and local languages, on the radar for Indians. It seems to have worked. Now, the festival is widely recognized as a destination for thinkers and... Read more

Oprah’s Indian Fascination and Discussion on India as an “Exotic Interest”

Last updated on: January 23, 2012 at 4:00 pm By Desh Kapoor

Oprah Winfrey went to the Jaipur Literary Fest and had something interesting to share about her experience in India. As interesting as it is, I wish India wasn’t addressed as if it was some kind of an exotic bird or an animal. Whenever someone from outside of India – specially West – comes over, s/he finds there is an energy, that is missing in other places and so comes out with interesting comments – either out of political correctness (if...

India’s Energy Conundrum: Which way to go?

Last updated on: January 23, 2012 at 2:56 pm By Desh Kapoor

Despite all the talk for ages now, India’s energy situation has remained unresolved. For all the progress that India is slated to do in the coming years, the lack of proper infrastructure, of which energy is the most crucial component – will be a key villain. Unless the resources are used properly and private players are better utilized, there can be little increase in productivity. SEBs have basically run India’s energy situation into the ground! And they are steeped in... Read more

13/7 Mumbai blast case solved? But when will justice happen?

Last updated on: January 23, 2012 at 12:08 pm By Desh Kapoor

“Cracked the case” is fine. But what about the justice? If we look back to last 20 years, which terrorist has been brought to justice until now? Not one! And why? Those who should get the Death Penalty also are being kept on with the justice done because of a skewed sense of appeasement. Claiming to have cracked the serial blasts that rocked Zaveri Bazar, Opera House and Dadar in south and central Mumbai, Rakesh Maria said the arrests have... Read more
