English is a bridge, not a barrier
The article first appeared in The Hindu on March , 2025.
The Prime Minister’s recent remarks on Macaulay and the “mindset of slavery” have revived an old discomfort many of us have carried but rarely articulated. How much harm did Macaulay do? What did he deprive Indians of? And what mindset changes are needed today?
When Macaulay wrote his famous 9,000-word minute in 1835, the goal of the British government was not to create an education system for the Indian public but to carve out a small English-educated class to assist the administration, interact with British officials, and work as intermediaries. A century later, this experiment produced what critics called “Macaulay’s children”, though in truth, these were Indians who used English to get things done, not people who lost their Indianness to it...

Immigration and the politics of fear
The article first appeared in The Hindu on October 23, 2025.
At the UN General Assembly last month, U.S. President Donald Trump harangued European leaders saying, “It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders... Your countries are going to hell.” It was an explicit export of his anti-immigrant ideas to the continent that his Scottish mother had departed as an immigrant to the U.S.
Immigration has long been a fraught subject in the U.K., with waves of anti-immigrant sentiment fanned by the far right, be it Enoch Powell’s incendiary ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech of 1968, the National Front’s activism of the 1970s, or the ‘Take Back Control’ rhetoric of the Brexit debates of the mid 2010s. However, Mr. Trump’s speech marks a turning point: conversations about immigration have gone from decrying illegal or irregular immigration to denouncing legal migration. The focus has shifted from a state’s ability to absorb immigrants to nativist concerns about culture and heritage, dressed up as ‘integration’...

I, too, am here after an appointment in the neighbourhood...

What Gandhi learned about vegetarianism in a London restaurant
The article first appeared in The Economic Times on October 19, 2025.
A London site once housed the Central Vegetarian Restaurant. Mohandas Gandhi frequented this eatery while studying law. The restaurant provided him with a diverse diet and companionship. This was vital for his personal growth during his time in London. The building is now gone, replaced by construction.
St Bride’s Street in London is now a construction site. A huge foundation is being dug, possibly for a new corporate headquarters, similar to those of Deloitte and Goldman Sachs nearby. But any trace of the restaurant at 16 St Bride’s Street, which played such a key role in India’s history, has long vanished...
