“Celebrate the cockroach,” said Salman Rushdie, and “I am a mama cockroach,” Mira Nair said, both to loud cheers and claps around the room. 🪔

Enjoyed talking to Gurvinder Singh about his latest film, Rehmat. Why he sticks to a niche, when he could be aiming wider. And his experience of doing two of the hardest things for any indie filmmaker: raising finance, and finding distribution.

Splendid news. After being betrayed by Netflix globally, @Ghaywan's HOMEBOUND has been released uncensored online in France.

Allow me to tell you what exactly happened after BJP-protected goon Swatantra Bhardwaj's attack on Dalit man Sanjay at our Jantar Mantar protest:
- Sanjay ji's skull was cracked open. The wound dimensions were of such great size that it obviously warranted an Attempt to Murder charge in the FIR (Section 307 of IPC).
- The Police refused to add that charge.
- This Section would've led to his immediate arrest as it is a cognizable and non-bailable offence.
- To avoid this arrest, the Police flat out refused to add this Section.
- We asked that at the moment, the "grievous injury" section be added (Sec 326) which would also lead to his immediate arrest.
- DCP Sachin Sharma, ACP Ajay Sharma flatly refused.
- Not just this, they told us on our faces "go get a court order"!
- The expert medical opinion has still not been received by us.
- The other gang members who were accomplices of Bhardwaj have also not been identified so far, despite several of them making reels immediately after the attack and threatening Sanjay's minor daughter Nishu openly.
- Now Bhardwaj openly flaunts of Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra pressuring the Police to release him from the Police Station and not to add any strict sections that can lead to his arrest!
So tell us why should Mishra not be made an accomplice in the FIR since he illegally interfered with the course of justice? Why should he not resign for protecting gang members and abusing his office? Does BJP's leadership support this?

"My grandparents had moved from Pakistan to Delhi. I knew about religious identity, the consciousness of being uprooted. With Rehmat, I am trying to imagine what it must have been like for those who had to leave," says Gurvinder Singh.

Rehmat, a Punjabi film by national-award winning director Gurvinder Singh, has won accolades at Swiss film festival, but remains ignored in Punjab.
Interestingly, Punjab government official Jaswant Singh Zafar has made his acting debut at age of 60 in Rehmat but the govt or Punjabi film industry is yet to acknowledge this thoughtful cinematic work, also featuring veteran Naseeruddin Shah.
Is Punjabi cinema all about those loud, flashy, cheap comedies?

The smartphone and the photo-sharing platform increased casual access to famous people; envy; filter bubbles without guardrails on obsessive behaviour. The end of traditional media decreased mediation. Hyper-celebrity is a form of hyper-politics.

The mission is to make Punjabi’s vast literary and linguistic heritage searchable, accessible and useful for generations to come.This is only the beginning. Mahankosh.org is live for you to search.

‘A collapse in the West’s ability to narrate the world’: I talked to @arusbridger and @lionelbarber about why I left the Guardian, why we started @Equatormag, and how the legacy media still can’t understand this moment.

Gurvinder Singh's Rehmat, which premiered at Locarno last week, is another haunting Punjab anti-fable starring Naseeruddin Shah. Love the way it's written and shot.

Watching Milange Babey Ratan De Mele Te and the whole Punjab Trilogy was a revelation for me. The Punjab that @ajayunmukt depicts is a reminder of how much of we lost, and how much we have maintained. Come watch them with me if you’re in Montreal on Aug. 23rd.
