  • Demystifying the Mahatma

    Demystifying the Mahatma June 2011 - In our interview, Lelyveld, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former editor of the New York Times, says what he really set out to do was to examine the evolution of Gandhi the social visionary, a “complicated figure” who continued to “struggle with self and doubt until his last days,” and the process of how the man became a Mahatma.

  • Down Convenience Street

    Down Convenience Street June 2011 - I am surprised to see the young cashier ask an old lady if she would like the bottles she had just bought un-sealed. She does, and he goes through her basket, opening bottles of jam, pickles, antacids and ketchup, and putting the lids back on again, gently.

    ABCDs, FOBs, and now IBCAs June 2011 - Today’s young desis have several acronyms to describe their fellow immigrants—ABCD (American-Born Confused Desi), FOB (Fresh off the Boat), Coconut Generation (brown on the outside, white inside), and so on. I’m wondering if they have bestowed any acronym on my generation that came to the United States during the sixties and seventies.

  • Gandhi: A Rorschach Figure

    Gandhi: A Rorschach Figure June 2011 - Gandhi is a Rorschach figure. Where I might see his brahmacharya vow as disciplined celibacy, Lelyveld considers it sublimation and allocates a chapter to what he calls Gandhi’s platonic relationship with Hermann Kallenbach.

  • Behind ‘Rising India’ lies the surrender of national dignity

    Behind ‘Rising India’ lies the surrender of national dignity May 2011 - Indeed, the cables reveal US business and officials to be as embedded in India’s politics as they are in Pakistan’s.
