Dear contributors and friends,

 

The February issue of Hardnews is live and available on stands. Please visit www.hardnewsmedia.com for details and http://www.hardnewsmedia.com/2007/10/1426 for where the magazine is available.

 

The website is being updated regularly and now includes more than the print version.

 

 

Cover Story: The rise and rise of Ahmed Bhai 

In his silent, strategic backroom manoeuvring, Sonia Gandhi's powerful political secretary Ahmed Patel is often the mind behind the party and the government

 

Cover story includes: 

10 Janpath's Discreet Chanakya by Akash Bisht in Delhi

Politicians across the spectrum consider Ahmed Patel second only to Sonia Gandhi. So what makes him tick?

Rahul's Rope Trick by Pradeep Kapoor in Lucknow
Rahul Gandhi's charisma might fail to be hypnotic in UP, especially after the Bihar debacle

 

The magazine also includes: 

 

Hemant Karkare's first lead…

Many masks must be removed to discover the sinister face of those behind this conspiracy engineered by terrorist groups with intimate links with the RSS

Pay the piper, call the tune

A 'surrogate corporate war' plays out behind the Radia tapes exposé, claims Ratan Tata

Miss M 55 by Pradeep Kapoor Lucknow

With a series of ghastly rapes and crimes stalking UP, it's not all cake and ice-cream for the birthday girl

Insured, yet unassured by Sadiq Naqvi in Delhi

The lure of high profits has institutionalised a system in which consumers remain forever at the mercy of insurance companies

Where do we go from here? By Akash Bisht in Ranthambhore

Providing tigers an inviolate space would remain an unfulfilled dream unless villagers get a fair deal

A Winter Rebellion by Aniruddh Ghosal in London

A big fee hike has enraged students in the UK as they spill over on the streets, often facing a brutish police out to smash them

Battle for the soul by Arshi Saleem Hashmi in Islamabad

There is no consensus on what actually the soul of Pakistan is. What, indeed, is the soul of Pakistan?

Walled Out, Gated In by Ratna Raman in Delhi

Boundary walls and iron gates dominate Delhi's landscape and imagination — a telling metaphor for a city that preys upon its public spaces even as it expands abnormally

Ekti Jibon One Life by Partha Mukherjee and Priyanka Mukherjee in Kolkata

With his great body of work with Satyajit Ray, in Bengali cinema and theatre, it's time to celebrate the genius of Soumitra Chatterjee

Not a beautiful headline Sonali Ghosh Sen in Kolkata

That justice would elude even 'beautiful people' like Jessica was the first time that many of us confronted the ugly face of political corruption, bribery, miscarriage of justice

Don't bless the mafia! by Amit Sengupta in Delhi

The film begins and ends with the prophecy: the mining mafia might one day overturn and usurp Indian democracy

Churchill's War by Sukumar Muralidharan in Delhi

Churchill excoriated 'Indians' as a people with little merit, as the world's 'beastliest' people, next only to Germans. 'Famine or no famine', Indians 'bred like rabbits' and did not deserve any emergency food shipments to relieve their hunger

A Suitable Literature by Ratna Raman in Jaipur

The festival affirmed that the young continue to be fascinated by ideas and the world of books

The Fashion Show of Literature by Manash Bhattacharjee in Jaipur

Business pervades each and every aspect of our lives. Between idea and reality, to extend Eliot, falls a poisonous shadow: the shadow-marketing of literature

In solidarity with a good doctor by Amit Sengupta in Delhi

Said a sticker pasted all over, 'If Binayak Sen is guilty of sedition, so are We!'

 

Among many others.
