For who Bellary tollsBy Uma SudhirTurning over a new leaf. That is probably happening literally in Bellary, I had reckoned when I travelled there soon after the Supreme Court had ordered a blanket ban on mining and transport of iron ore in the region in July. The contrast between the old and the new leaves on the trees was stark. The old leaves were rust-coloured, dusted with the blood of the red earth, while the new leaves, born after the dust had settled, were a fresh green.If I had expected the political scape to change as dramatically, I was wrong. Former Health minister B. Sriramulu who c ...more 6 months ago

Whose baby is she?By Uma SudhirIt is not so often that I feel shocked and close to tears during my reporting assignments. But on Thursday at the Nampally courts in Hyderabad when I saw Papalal burst out in anger and then break down, a defeated man, I felt it is not so easy to stand up against the odds."What is my crime? That I brought home a Muslim girl and took care of her as my daughter?'' Papalal was asking in anguish. It was heartbreaking to see his wife Jayshree, 8-months pregnant, carrying three-year-old Ekta, holding the hand of 8-year-old Sonia, all of them crying their heart out, ...more 11 months ago

Spare the gun, don't spoil the childBy Uma Sudhir
``I was very disturbed seeing the visuals.''
My journalist-friend Narayanan who had just seen a report that I had filed, called to say from Delhi. The report had shown school students, visibly excited, holding weapons, even aiming one at A K Khan, police commissioner of Hyderabad, as part of an exercise to familiarise gen-next with weapons used by the police force.``What is the police trying to do?'' he asked, sounding truly exasperated. ``Is this what we want our children to take a fancy to? Guns?!!''To provoke such a reac ...more 1 year ago

'Keeping' with the times?
By Uma Sudhir
``We should have been in the UAE,'' Sudhir had grinned as he read out a news item earlier this week to me and our young daughter that said the Supreme Court in UAE had ruled that a man could `discipline' his wife and young children by beating provided he does not leave a mark on their body. We joked about it, dismissing it, perhaps with a subconscious feeling of reassurance that this could happen only in `those Gulf countries'. In a relatively progressively inclined society like India, no chance.
Thursday afternoon I was wondering if our feeling ...more 1 year ago

Future bombed : By Uma Sudhir :
The future of a nation is built inside its classrooms, it is famously said. I dread to think what that future is going to be when school has turned into a warzone and classrooms have either been bombed by Maoists or have become home to men in khaki fighting a `war' in places like Chhattisgarh.The latest incident that took place last week, was of three young school children killed by a grenade that landed in their school. Eight other children are struggling to recover at a local hospital. The children were all students at Adivasi Ashramshala, a r ...more 1 year ago

Dancing with life : By Uma Sudhir :
``I tell you, there is a good reason for you to go and see this doctor. He is handsome and suave.''
Ananda said this to me, giggling like a teenager. There was nothing flippant about her advice though. She was asking me to go for a mammogram. And it was the voice of experience speaking. If I had expected her to become sombre and serious, change from the vivacious, lively self I had known her to be, just because she had been recently diagnosed with breast cancer, I was wrong.
That was more than two years ago. A ...more 1 year ago
