A self-conceited politician who thinks highly of himself and believes that the whole world revolves around him is invited by a school committee for the special program to their school. Undoubtedly a narcissist he can neither guess what tomorrow is going to be nor could ask anyone about it. With intrusive interest and persistence, how he goes on to find it through the innate nature of harassing his people is the big secret. The play is a hilarious comedy with surprising twists about how our politician gets to know "what is tomorrow”.

A FISSURED HORIZON: THE CONTRADICTIONS OF INDIAN DEMOCRACY A Talk by Vinod K. Jose

Freedom House, a Washington DC-based monitoring group that measures democracy/authoritarianism, downgraded India in 2021 to "partly free". In 2022 it reiterated its "partly free" rating for India.

What is this condition of being partly free? It suggests both a deterioration in the institutions of democracy and yet holds out the possibility of recovery, all within the texture of persistent anxiety.

Vinod Jose, one of India's most dynamic and courageous journalists, explores the contradictions that underlie this condition -- as to what becomes visible of the strategies that seek to turn India into a Hindu Rashtra and simultaneously the rapid blooming off a decentralized resistance. The talk seeks to promote an engagement for each of us to find our role in a partly free country.

Vinod K. Jose is the Executive Editor of the Caravan.

Hyderabad Remembers - A Discussion

Cities have a way of remembering. We remember grief and injury and pain collectively. We remember joy and pleasure and pride collectively. In March 2020, even as Lamakaan, the open cultural space of Hyderabad was celebrating its tenth anniversary, India went into a lockdown. An entire country of one and a quarter billion people entered a tunnel with no idea of what lay ahead. Since then, three waves of covid and several rounds of total and partial lockdowns, have left millions of households broken, economically, emotionally. Right through this, quietly hundreds of men and women rose to the occasion. Even as we were ourselves being infected, even as we were ourselves were losing near and dear, we rallied together to reach out. On this occasion of this 12th anniversary, of Lamakaan, we come together again to recall what we have been through. What we did. What dreams we put on hold. Please join us to hear the stories. Join us to tell your story.
