To Sunaina's dismay, she finds herself becoming the epicentre of the converging controversies.
Sunaina Joshi is a reporter with a leading news channel. Her day-to-day work involves reporting on urban-centric, health-related issues; myriad subjects that bore her, leaving her jaded. Her real passion is a life in the great outdoors, and reporting on wildlife and the environment, something she is unable to do as often as she would like. Unexpectedly, a fabulous opportunity falls into her lap when her channel is commissioned to run a campaign on tiger conservation, featuring a Bollywood star who is trying to resurrect his image and career following a drug scandal. The shoot takes a dramatic turn when the television team finds itself in the middle of a local conflict and a heated incident involving a tiger attacking a forest guard. Controversy follows, with the decision to relocate the tiger to a zoo, leading to protests and fresh outrage over the action. To Sunaina's dismay, she finds herself becoming the epicentre of the converging controversies. Also complicating matters are the run-ins she has with the arrogant owner of the resort. But is her aggravation with him turning to attraction? Can she keep her wits about her while remaining professional about the things she loves?

Uttar Pradesh, Nord dell’India, 2014. Sono simili quanto due chicchi di riso, Padma e Lalli, due cugine di sedici e quattordici anni. Stesso viso a forma di cuore, stessi capelli di seta nera: Padma Lalli, cosí vengono chiamate, con un nome solo perché stanno sempre insieme, inseparabili mentre lavorano fianco a fianco dall’alba al tramonto, badando alle capre, accendendo il fuoco con il letame, impastando il pane per la famiglia. Avete visto Padma Lalli? È il 27 maggio quando le due ragazze svaniscono dal loro villaggio di Katra, poche, misere casupole affastellate in poco piú di un chilometro quadrato e bastano poche ore di ricerche per scoprire l’orrenda verità: Padma e Lalli v...
Roughly 200 million today, Indian Muslims are greater than the population of Britain and France or Germany put together. According to the Indian Constitution, Indian Muslims are treated as political equals, which is what India’s secular polity promised after its independence, encouraging more than 35 million Indian Muslims at the time of Partition to choose India as their motherland over Pakistan.

The author describes the current state and position of Indian Muslims (the seeds for which wer...
