We celebrated Teachers’ Day four days ago, but will it be a relevant holiday as technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) seep into our classrooms? Schools are no longer the ‘temples’ of knowledge, and teachers are no longer the high priests. Information today is on children’s fingertips as they swipe, tap and click their way into…
On Aug. 23 at 5.45 pm, like most Indians, I too was glued to my television. I prepared to experience what former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman Dr. K. Sivan called ‘15 minutes of terror’ — The critical 15-minute landing sequence for Chandrayaan, when the spacecraft operates autonomously, rendering engineers and scientists mere spectators. …
Every time there is kissing, someone is bound to start pressing charges and last week, the women MPs of the BJP did just that.

On Thursday, the Karnataka Cabinet decided to repeal the stringent law regulating religious conversion introduced by the previous BJP Government. Is this Anti-Conversion Bill draconian? Yes, but why can’t we have an Anti-Conversion Bill with specific changes? Why reject the Bill outright? While the Congress party in Karnataka has repealed the Bill, didn’t the same…
