EDITOR’S NOTE | The Kantara Phenomenon

The Hindu  

Published : Nov 17, 2022 10:40 IST Sometimes a pop culture phenomenon occurs that hints at shifting sociopolitical trends. I found it particularly curious how the film quickly absolved the state of wrongdoing and reinstated the landlord as villain; yet anyone who has worked closely with forest communities will know how much state and landlord work in tandem. At such times, custom and ritual become substitutes for real piety, which demands sacrifice and empathy unlike hyper-religiosity. Elsewhere in the magazine, Peter deSouza, Ganesh Devy, Gopalkrishna Gandhi, Tabish Khair, Justice K. Chandru, Kalpana Sharma, and former Frontline editor N. Ram write some excellent pieces this fortnight.
