“If your relationship fills you with a sense of luck, you've chosen well.”
Darin Strauss, Half a Life

Matthew d'Ancona
“When the things you can buy online matter more to you than the things you can do in your neighbourhood; when you communicate with social media friends you never meet more than your real friends; when your notion of public space is confined to the screen in your hand: all this removes the sinew of citizenship”
Matthew d'Ancona, Post-Truth: The New War on Truth and How to Fight Back

“A rolling stone gathers no moss ......but it sure gathers momentum...”
Ankala Subbarao

Matthew d'Ancona
“The point is simply to keep the argument going, to ensure that it never reaches a conclusion (which leads to confusion, fatigue and collusion)”
Matthew d'Ancona, Post-Truth: The New War on Truth and How to Fight Back

Barkha Dutt
“But the Congress also played an insidious role in creating the circumstances that led to the demolition of the mosque. Though Rahul Gandhi once grandly claimed that the mosque would never have been brought down had a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family been at the helm of government, it was his father, Rajiv Gandhi, who on the request of the VHP first ordered the locks on the Ram Janmabhoomi–Babri Masjid complex to be opened in 1985. And in 1989, with one eye on the elections, it was Rajiv who sent his home minister, Buta Singh, to participate in the ‘shilanyas’, or the symbolic temple foundation laying ceremony, at a site near the Babri Masjid but outside of what he understood to be the disputed site. After his assassination in 1991 it became the responsibility of Narasimha Rao to safeguard the mosque from demolition. The Liberhan Report said Prime Minister Rao and his government were ‘day-dreaming’; his own party colleagues and those who met him in the days leading up to 6 December say his inaction was deliberate. Veteran journalist Kuldip Nayar even went so far as to suggest in his memoirs that Rao ‘sat at a puja when the kar sevaks began pulling down the mosque and rose only when the last stone had been removed’.”
