The Latest Breaking News from Abhinandan

Hafta letters: Native languages, employability, Tata controversy

New year greetings. I wish you more subscribers and improved journalism.

Hafta letters: Climate policy, COP28 and Zionism

I would like the panel’s views on the following:

Hafta letters: Lens on Palestine, southern states, Modi voters

I do not like being mischaracterised, hence this.

Hafta letters: Palestine and Zionism, college events, natural resources

General point about NL Sena. If there is a project that can be anticipated, then it should be set up a while before the actual need, so that people can spend a fixed amount of money for multiple months. For instance, NL-TNM fund was opened up in October. But it…

Hafta letters: History of Jews, Zionism and hot takes

After Bhavesh’s mail and your response, I thought maybe I’d hold off on this mail. But with a stream of emails telling you to keep at it, I fear a reversion to type. I’ve been a serial letter-writer, I think my first was in 2015/16 when Abhinandan used to prod…

Hafta letters: Nitish’s remarks, Palestine protests, Sena funds

Hi,

Hafta letters: Israel-Palestine media bias, politics in sports, need for South India podcast

TV Newsance 232: Poll bonds, Godi media’s ‘algorithm’ theory on Apple alert

Abhinandan looks at the worst of this week in the world of TV news. We start off with the trend of politicians being given a free pass on air; no questions asked.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Khalistan agenda, media bias, Israel-Palestine violence

Letter on September 28: In Hafta’s episode 451, the panel had no reaction to Sajjan Kumar getting acquitted. Not blaming anyone, just highlighting how something that might not seem significant in other parts of the country is a major development for the Sikhs. Tytler and Sajjan were the biggest names…

Hafta letters: Canada, Kashmir and internal biases

Hi there! I am a long-time subscriber, and now really super pissed with your app… The main reason I subscribe to you is to keep journalism free of influence, and your podcasts…what is the point if I can’t even resume my podcast. Every time I pause the podcast your app…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Geopolitics, burning Ravan effigies, screening of While We Watched

Hi there

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Countering hate, teacher-student relationships, space exploration

Hello NL,

TV Newsance 225: Pakistan obsession of Godi media, Gambhir’s temper, Modi’s Bharat masterstroke

This week, Abhinandan takes stock of the Indian TV news’ obsession with Pakistan. No matter the issue at hand, our TV news anchors are chronically racing to tell us what’s worse in our neighbouring country.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Chandrayaan-3, scientific temper and cost-benefit analysis

This email is intentionally left blank, as it looks like you need to achieve something great (I have no clue) to ask questions.

Hafta 446: Modi’s Independence Day speech, Gandhi’s legacy, Himachal failures

This week on NL Hafta, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Jayashree Arunachalam and Anand Vardhan are joined by author Tushar Gandhi.

Hafta letters: Caste, China and AAP’s silence on Sisodia

Hi team,

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Space exploration, Sudha Murty, Manipur videos

I religiously listen to both NL Hafta and NL Charcha. Many a times I feel an element of non-seriousness in Hafta discussions. For instance, in one of the past episodes, Abhinandan wasn’t aware of who late Anupam Mishra was, while Atul called him his guru. As a listener, I find…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Atheists, moon missions, US court systems

Hey NL team, it’s दिवगुन्न btw. I thought it best to type out in Hindi. My suggestion to the NL team is if they can start film discussions, critique and roundtables with sound designers, cinematographers and writers. As somebody who works in the film industry, it is sad to not…

TV Newsance 218: BeerBiceps and Godi Media’s similar treatment of Modi govt

This week, Abhinandan brings you the worst of the worst of TV news, but with a tinge of nostalgia and juxtaposition.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Influencer collaborations, religion and MP urination case

Hi team! I loved the Hafta episode on right-wing influencers. I have noticed a lot of similar ones popping up on YouTube. They seem to have a similar formula where they peddle conspiracy theories first – the ‘Vedic sages flew spaceships’ type. They slowly start to hate mongering and get…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Sex and gender, hacking, the Mahabharata, land ownership

Regarding Sekhri's response to my letter, I had already qualified my response by saying that I am not asking you to go educate yourself. I was not even getting into whether I agree or disagree with you. The suggestion was that you do not forcefully shut down someone who knows…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: CoWIN data leak, swearing on Hafta, Uttarakhand discussion

Request Abhinandan/Manisha to read this letter. I don't think I’m alone in this feeling but I like Abhinandan swearing on the podcast, it conveys a deep emotion of feeling fucked. It might be crude, but "fuck" is a feeling that at least begins to address the bizarre unfolding of events…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Pronunciations, gender, swearing, app feedback

Hello. Could you please restore the RSS link so that we can access this podcast in a generic podcast player like Overcast or Apple podcasts. I used to be able to do so until a recent update to your app. Thank you.

Mukhtar Ansari booked for 'Mukhtar' in one, 'Mokhtar' in another ID

LUCKNOW: A case of cheating and dishonesty has been registered against jailed ganglord Mukhtar Ansari after it was found that personal documents recovered from his barrack during a raid on Friday had different date of birth and spellings of his name.

Hafta letters: Encounter killings, Dalai Lama, a friend through NL

Does the Indian police have a department such as internal affairs in the US? I’ve seen Hollywood movies where IA officers investigate crimes committed by police, whether it’s torture, financial irregularities, custodial deaths, encounter killings, etc.
