Who Gets to Be Culture? When a Civilisational Theory of Religion Enters the Courtroom
On October 6, a Division Bench of the Madras High Court decided an appeal brought by the Kanzeon Public Charitable Trust, based in Kodaikanal.

Between 2014 and 2024, incidents increased 500%, from 139 to 834. In nine months of 2025 alone, 579 incidents were recorded. Police registered First Information Reports in only 39 cases.
Brother Andrew Changed Me. His Approach Can Change India.

He was responding to my “rockstar” reaction as I finally encountered one of my heroes, two decades ago at a lunch buffet in South Asia.
