My friend and first love, Gauri Lankesh was the epitome of amazing grace

f Gauri Lankesh read all the tributes and accolades for her, particularly those that refer to soul and afterlife and heaven, she’d have cracked a good laugh. Maybe not a laugh, but at least a chuckle. We had decided in our teens that heaven and hell and afterlife were a lot of b.s. There was enough heaven and hell on earth, and we should just leave god alone - he has enough on his hands - instead of begging him for favors. But part of our compact was we would not be hurtful to others - including family — even if we disagreed with their beliefs and practices. We didn’t always succeed - ah, the impetuosity of youth! — but it was a good principle that served us well later. Which is how even when we divorced 27 years ago, after five years of courtship and five years of marriage, we

BKkvXv ˛ sk]vXw_¿ 2017

remained great friends. Part of the compact. Don’t be hurtful. Even to each other. We met at a school that was the birthplace of the Rationalist Movement of India - National College. Our principal, Dr H.Narasimaiah, and the Sri Lankan rationalist, Dr Abraham Kovoor, were pioneers of the movement, and right from our teens we took to the thrill of questioning and debunking a variety of godmen/godwomen, charlatans, frauds, superstitions etc. More on this another time, but I’m putting this out here early to provide some context to Gauri’s murder. Rationalists and agnostics are in the cross hairs of uberreligious bigots.

Meanwhile, we “skinned our hearts and skinned our knees, learned of love the ABCs.” Terry Jack’s sappy, saccharine “Seasons in the Sun” had been released a few years earlier, and we hummed it between Dylan and Beatles. I’d return to Indian music years later; she was tone deaf. We read and laughed at Eric Segal’s Love Story, saw the movies Abba, Saturday Night Fever, and Gandhi on our first dates, and went to the boonies on moonless nights to see billions and billions of stars and galaxies after reading and watching Carl Sagan. Many friends were bemused by our unbroken

friendship. Separations and divorces are often messy, bitter, and spiteful in India, or anywhere for that matter. We had our volcanic moments, but we transcended that quickly, bound by higher ideals. On our day in court, as we stood next to each other, our hands reached out. Fingers interlaced. If you want to go your own ways, better disengage, the lawyer hissed. After it was done and dusted (“by mutual consent”), we went out for lunch at the Taj down MG Road. The restaurant was called Southern Comfort. We laughed at the irony and said goodbye as I moved first to Delhi, them Mumbai, then Washington DC. She visited me in each place to argue about Life, the Universe, and Everything (we read Douglas Adams in school). My parents loved her despite her rebellious nature, and remarkably for traditional, orthodox Indian parents, kept in touch with her and she with

One of the first books we read together — before getting into the weeds (I mean metaphorically) of religion, politics, and life itself — was Will Durant’s Story of Philosophy. Neither of us was proficient in our mother tongue Kannada (at that time), so we regretfully forsook our own bounteous literature for everything from Wodehouse to Graham Greene, devouring anything that Premier Book Shop’s Mr Shanbhag could produce for us - at a matchless 20 per cent discount (others got 15 per cent). She returned to Kannada years later, but more on that soon.

them — even after we split. One time, when I told her about a budding dalliance, she drew herself to her full height (all of five feet and HALF INCH - she never failed to emphasize the half inch) and said: “Ha! You can never take away the honor of being the first daughter-inlaw of the family.” When my mother passed away this past February, Gauri Lankesh was there, literally “live casting” for me the final rites as I flew home. My ties with her family were as unusual. Through our separation and splitsville, I

continued to meet her dad P.Lankesh, a writer, playwright, film-maker and an inspiration for a generation of rebel writers and journalists, and her sister Kavitha - “baby” to us-now a fine film-maker in her own right. Early in our college dalliance, after Lankesh’s due diligence 10

BKkvXv ˛ sk]vXw_¿ 2017

determined that I passed the literary litmus test, I became part of the family - including the extended family of writers, poets, artists, teachers, and what I’d kid as the “buddhijeevi” (intellectual) crowd. Starting early 80s, we met every Sunday evening for a game of cards, where the stakes were modest but the conversation was rich. Poetry, proverbs, epigrams, aphorisms, bon mots in English and Kannada flowed ebulliently at the table. If someone slowed down the game, someone else would intone “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...” Another person: “....creeps at this petty pace from day to day.” Third one: “...to the last syllable of recorded time!” It became bad form to speak in anything other than through literary allusions - in any language. A daring pick always invited “Vinashakaale Vipareetha Buddhi.” They were brilliant, effervescent men, and Gauri (who joined us occasionally and was the only woman at the table) and I marinated in their learning. Appa, as I called Lankesh, taught Eng.lit in Bangalore University, but had decamped to Kannada when we met, having just directed his first movie (I think it was either Anuroopa or Pallavi, and it won the national award). Like many great Kannada writers (Bendre, Kuvempuetc) he started out wanting to write in English before finding his metier in his roots. His play “Sankranti’ was prescribed reading for undergrads, but we discussed everyone from Kalidasa to Ibsen, Chekhov, and Brecht.

All this continued through courtship, marriage, separation, and divorce, and even after I moved to U.S. Every time I went home, over a drink or two, pop-in-law and I, refereed by his daughter, would argue about politics, religion, literature, movies, U.S-India ties, farming distress, health, the world. Father and daughter would tease me about abandoning the good fight, while I’d insist that it was temporary, and a little time and distance is good for perspective. Lankesh had a low threshold for idiocy (there was a high turnover at the cards table in the initial years with those unable to handle his temperament scramming quickly) but his continued affection for me earned brownie points from Gauri. When he passed away in 2000, she truly became her father’s daughter, taking over the newspaper he founded and continuing the good fight. To this day, I unfailingly drop into to the Sunday cards table (long after Lankesh passed away, Doc Gowda, the writer-physician, is the current torchbearer). At every other visit or so, as

the years took their toll of the older generation, I’d see someone missing at the table. “Yelli Sharma? (Where’s Sharma?)” I’d ask, as they made place for me at the cards table, referring to the wonderful poet Ramachandra Sharma. “Oh! He’s gone up to join Lankesh at another table,” someone would respond, without batting an eyelid or breaking the game. “And Mysoremath is on his way to join them. He’s in hospital.” I’m relating all this to give a sense of the intellectual atmosphere Gauri grew up in practical, rational, and largely agnostic. Death was just incidental. Respect, affection, and admiration for the good people did and what they stood for was important. Her - our favorite word and topic of conversation in recent years was “horaata” - a Kannada word roughly meaning a movement/agitation/ revolution. “Haegidehoraata?” I’d ask during our occasional phone calls. She’d launch into a litany of struggles she was in at the moment. Gauri’s presence at the cards table became rare as she threw herself into the fight BKkvXv ˛ sk]vXw_¿ 2017

against right-wing bigots, zealots, and extremists. We argued about that too at the cards table because some friends thought she had gone the other extreme. There was no doubt she was left of center, even extreme left of center. But heart was in the right place, and there was no place in her world for violence. Only cowards took to violence. Some eight years back, after I had built a new home in Bangalore in the fond hope that I’d return to India some day, she determined that I needed a housekeeper to manage the place. “I am sending someone over,” she declared over the phone. “She’s a widow with two young daughters. Make sure you take care of them and put them through school.” It was an order. I complied. Ramakka, her gift to us, is still with us; her daughters Asha and Usha both finished from school, earned degrees, and now work - Asha in Syndicate Bank and Usha at an NGO. There are hundreds of Ashas and Ushas because of Gauri Lankesh. 12

Just a few weeks ago, when Mary, the kids and I were in India, Gauri called to announce she was coming over. She always came to see the kids, bearing gifts, none more precious than the love and warmth she brought with her. Days passed, and she did not turn up. Busy, busy, busy, she said...you know how hard it is handling the paper and fighting the chaddis (she called the right wing nutters “chaddis”). One day, she called to announce that she’s coming with her son. “Who have you adopted now?” I asked. “Kanhaiya Kumar,” she chuckled. “You mean the JNU bloke?” “Yes, you’ll love meeting him.” Little later she called to say his flight was late and she can’t make it. That was the last time I heard her voice. Bubbly and bursting with energy and passion for causes big and small. As my plane wings towards India to a place without Gauri, my mind is a cauldron of fragmented memories. One phrase keeps repeating and resonating in my mind: Amazing Grace. Forget all other labels: leftist, radical, anti-Hindutva, secular etc. For me, there is just this: She is the epitome of Amazing Grace.

Gauri Lankesh murder: The bigots have been unmasked, a many headed monster spewing vitriol unleashed

n the evening of September 5, journalist Gauri Lankesh was shot dead in cold blood at her house. As the news spread, there was utter disbelief, which transcended into shock and then anger. The last ten days have seen many people across the country pour their angst on social media, in newspaper columns, TV programmes and even on the street. ‘I

am Gauri,’ said thousands of protesters who gathered in Bengaluru this week. But while Gauri’s murder has left many of us shellshocked, this is not the only reaction to her cold blooded killing. The assassination has proved

beyond doubt that there’s a many-headed, poisonous monster that lives amongst us, and that this monster will stop at nothing when it sets out to spread hatred. Today, the danger that forces that are against dissent is much more tangible. To be clear, no, we don’t yet know who killed BKkvXv ˛ sk]vXw_¿ 2017

nuances around assimilating naxals into mainstream went on an overdrive to dig out pictures of her with naxal leaders. Many religious leaders and right wing darlings like Sri Sri Ravi Shankar are involved in the government’s efforts to being Maoists into mainstream - will they too be branded ‘naxals’ or ‘naxal sympathisers’ now? And even if Gauri was someone who understood and empathized with the naxals, does her murder become acceptable then?

Gauri. Yes, it is wrong to jump to conclusions about any particular person or group without substantial evidence. That shouldn’t stop us from unanimously and vociferously condemning a brutal murder though. But the banks of vitriol that operate in our world today believe otherwise. Some of them are snug behind anonymous eggs on Twitter, some of them have a face and a name, some of them even call themselves journalists. Comprehending the reactions to the murder has been a learning lesson, a mirror that showed how many bigots live amongst us. Many among the ‘liberals’ jumped the gun to pin the blame on the Sangh and its allies even before the post mortem could be done. With Gauri having devoted most of her life in journalism to calling out the right wing, it was but natural that many close to her immediately pointed fingers at the right wing. But the reactions from the right wing, from its leaders and foot soldiers, have been abhorrent. First, it was a campaign to discredit her work. Vicious posts questioning Gauri’s journalism were circulated. Having worked closely with the Karnataka government in negotiating terms of surrender for naxals willing to join the mainstream, it then became easy to brand her a ‘naxal sympathiser.’ Those with no understanding of the 26

But the fiendish effort to justify her murder did not stop at this. Like scavengers, there were many who scoured her social media posts. A satirical article about the PM that she shared, an emotional outburst on marital rape and free sex were all dug out, the message that accompanied the screenshots of her old posts were always the same: ‘Why should I condemn her murder? She deserved it.’ It wasn’t just the faceless trolls or the unabashed Sangh supporters who were behind the vitriol, Union Ministers too did their bit to deflect from the real issue. “Did you speak up when RSS workers were killed in Kerala?” thundered Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. The whataboutery had one purpose, to shame those condemning Gauri’s murder and box them into a corner. Dissent and debate are essential for the survival of a democracy. Demagogues and conformists who spread the notion that questioning a government or an ideology is blasphemous are smashing the pillars of our democracy. A woman was murdered in her own house, and the incident not only made it clear to all of us that no dissenter is really safe, it also unmasked the many bigots who live and thrive among us. ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Sensationalism and the media S

ome years ago, I got a call from a Mumbai-based women’s magazine edited in proxy by a noted film star. The caller asked me if I could interview the parents of a young girl slated to appear for her school board exams who was suffering from blood cancer and had her life on a string. But her determination to take the examinations remained unshaken. I refused to do the story. The magazine never approached me ever again. Why did I, a freelancer, forever struggling for commissioned stories left, right and centre, refuse this commission? The first question that arose in my mind is what would I ask the

Shoma A. Chatterji

parents? “How are you feeling now that your girl is about to leave you?” “She is your only child so what plans do you have after she passes away?” Is this journalism, tell me? If it is, I rue the day I decided to switch channels from teaching full-time to becoming a freelance journalist. But someone else did the story. Every freelancer’s needs are different so I cannot be judgemental about the other person’s decision BKkvXv ˛ sk]vXw_¿ 2017

to do this sensational story placing it against my refusal to do so. But sensational journalism has its advantages. It catches eyeballs at once and everyone loves to read about the tragedy, disaster, death that befalls others. There is a strange, bizarre sense of vicarious satisfaction men and women get from other people’s tragedies. This is proved by the fact that crime stories – in print, on television and online attract large footprints in terms of readership and eyeballs. Agatha Christie, dealing with crime, remains one of the two biggest bestsellers in the history of fiction the other one being Conan Doyle who created Sherlock Holmes. Publishers, advertisers, sponsors and corporate houses that run newspapers, television channels and online news portals behind-the-scenes are running a business and they are the first to jump on to a story that can be turned sensational with a clever twist of phraseology and language, style and approach. This is easily achieved to boost the TRPs with intelligent photographers, video cameramen, news hunters from television who have honed their skills in such stories rush to thrust the microphones into the faces of everyone connected or not connected with a given incident that has even a hint of melodrama in it. The fact that sensationalism sells more than objective news undercuts the ethical values of journalism because it 34

BKkvXv ˛ sk]vXw_¿ 2017

violates the ethical principles of respecting the privacy of individuals and groups who happen to suddenly become headlines overnight. News being more saleable a product than informative and educative came to the fore when television and satellite channels invaded our drawing rooms and bedrooms to catch eyeballs that remain glued to news of rapes, murders, killings, molestations, scams, corruption and so on. In a democracy, the media is known as the fourth estate supposedly immune to political and other pressures that often bear upon the functions of the three other organs of the government- the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The same democracy also has turned the media into a commercial entity, a product to be sold, exchanged for a price, distributed and the profits shared among vested interests. “Today, it is an entity driven entirely by market forces,” said Sourav Das in response to the tremendous blowing up of the Sheena Bora murder case that placed her mother Indrani Mukherjea on the deck as the killer. To elaborate his point further, Das adds, “News items are grist to the media mill just as sugarcane is to the sugar mill, the juicier, the better. The impact of live TV coverage and breaking news are significant in moulding public opinion on the subject of the debate. It is therefore necessary for TV

anchors to imbibe ethical codes of conduct when dealing with thes private personal spaces of people. Tendencies like cultivating special tones, mannerisms and levels of aggression for different classes of panellists and interviewees, insistence on having the last word, putting down invited interviewees or panellists who do not tow the anchor’s line, hectoring panellists whose depositions might convey a view contrary to the one led by the anchor etc. should be curbed.” Can one therefore conclude that news on television has turned news into ‘entertainment”? There are millions more of television watchers than there are newspaper readers, given the low literacy rate in the country and even lesser online news surfers as there are lesser people linked to the NET than there are newspaper readers. Entertainment finds higher priority than information and education that forms the three main functions of journalism. Journalism, assumed to be the fourth estate is also expected to function as an agency of social change. The print media surrenders to the same principle of titillation and sensationalism. What is “sensationalism”? It is defined as editorial bias within the mass media where events, incidents and people who form subjects of news stories are hyped and exaggerated to create drama out of real life that actually replaces objectivity with bias for or against a given person, incident or event embroidering it with language that titillates and does not state or narrate. This is brazen manipulation of news to satiate the malicious sentiments of the average reader hankering precisely for such news. The suicide of a certain television actress whose name non-serial watchers came to know only after she died was stretched beyond reasonable limits graphically showing the boyfriend’s arrest on suspicion of triggering the suicide, the girl’s mother accusing the young

man squarely and so on and on and on. Was this significant to our lives, tell me? Where just a single report of the suicide would have sufficed, the girl was painted as one with ‘loose morals’ because she lived in with her boyfriend and was pregnant when she died. What difference does it make to our everyday lives? The boyfriend was drawn, quartered and made mincemeat of by the media through debates and panel discussions none of which could effectively nail him for the suicide. Nor did this add to my information input in any way. Earlier, such journalism was labelled “yellow journalism”, “tabloid journalism” “gossip journalism” and so on which had its own field and market and specialists among the journalistic fraternity and operated mostly within the film and television industry with an occasional entry into political circles. The suicide and/or murder of journalist Shivani Bhatnagar in 1999 is a case in point that the media immediately picked to catch as many eyeballs as it could. Today, these genres have disappeared because any journalism can at any point of time on any channel on news print or online media can use straightforward news into sensational news. Another example of similar sensationalisation of a tragedy is the brutal BKkvXv ˛ sk]vXw_¿ 2017

hospital and resumed shooting for a serial. That is not the sensation. The sensationalism surfaced a few days later when the print media published pictures of Vikram Chatterjee seated pensively in front of Sonika’s grave at a cemetery. What kind of journalism is this, tell me? How did the press photographers get to know that he was at the cemetery unless he or his spokesperson told them about it?

murder of poetess Madhumita Shukla on 9th May 2003 by Uttar Pradesh MLA and her lover Amarmani Tripathi who, along with his wife and three others were convicted of the murder in 2007. This kept the media oglers busy for months together till everyone wearied of the gory details and switched off to another similar news. Of course there are exceptions. But these mostly go ignored or forgotten because they are factual and do not sensationalise fact in the least. One example is a report by Vij Arora (No One Killed Shivani, October 14, 2011, IndiaToday.in) which very sharply raises questions about the delay and acquittal of the main accused in Shivani’s case. This story is a model lesson in sensitivity and objectivity backed by in-depth research and investigation. Sometimes, the subjects of an accident that later becomes a crime can twist the little finger of the media to satisfy his/her own agenda. The most recent case is that of the terrible car crash in Kolkata on April 29 that killed model Sonika Chauhan, 27, while her friend actor Vikram Chatterjee was behind the wheel and reportedly speeding at 120/kmh in the early hours of the morning. He was not arrested even once after he came out of the 36

BKkvXv ˛ sk]vXw_¿ 2017

Journalistic sensations have also led to well-researched books on sensational cases that made history long ago and these books soon hit the bestselling lists, making the publishers laugh all the way to the bank. Veteran journalist and editor Bacchi Karkaria’s recent In Hot Blood – The Nanavati Case that Shook India (Juggernaut, 2017), is an example. The book states how public opinion to garner full support for Nanavati who had confessed to killing his wife Sylvia’s paramour Ahuja “was led by Russi Karanjia, the formidable editor of the weekly The Blitz. He dedicated himself and his widely read tabloid in clearing Nanavati’s name. This campaign was the forerunner of what is today called trial by the media” writes Aradhika Sharma in her review of this book (The Tribune, May 28, 2017.) Another similar trial by the media eleven years after the killing of Jessica Lal took place when the case was reopened as the result of an opinion poll by a famous news channel that asked viewers to click in their opinion on whether they felt that the guilty needed to be punished. There was no sensationalisation here and the television media proved that it can, if it intends to, create a genuine media trial with the collective cooperation of the viewers. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

A thin line between journalism and activism

hen senior journalist Gauri Lankesh was shot and killed at her home in Bengaluru this month, journalists across the country rallied in their respective cities and towns to condemn her death. Protests were held, rallies went forth and journalists across the country suddenly seemed to feel that they were more vulnerable than they had ever been. The feeling of vulnerability is not misplaced. More attacks are taking place on the fraternity and more journalists are falling to violent ends. There are many reasons for it. And one of them is journalists and the current state of journalism itself. Let us look at who Gauri Lankesh was. I did not know her

BKkvXv Ë&#x203A; sk]vXw_Âż 2017

Sandhya Ravishankar

personally but what I do know of her from close friends in Bengaluru is that she was a warm and affectionate person who would go out of her way to help in times of crises. As a person, she was well loved and respected. Was Gauri Lankesh a journalist or an activist? It appears that she started off her career in journalism but subsequently turned to activism – leading from the front in issues concerning Left and tribal causes. She had played an important role in getting Naxals to surrender and she was an open admirer of the policies of Karnataka’s Congress Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Gauri Lankesh was clearly not a journalist – she took a stand, a side, something a journalist is not allowed to do. Fellow media bigwigs and political parties jumped to the conclusion that Gauri had been murdered by “right wing” fringe elements, since she had always taken a stance against their ideology. This, even before the Bengaluru police began any sort of investigations into the murder. The media became the judge, prosecution, the defence and the jury. In this heated and politically charged climate in India, it is of utmost importance for a journalist to maintain balance and not fall prey to the variety of agendas being peddled emotionally by

various vested interests, be it the Left or the Right or anywhere in between. When murders close to us, like Gauri’s happen, it is especially important that we seek out the truth and not believe in what the crowd does. Question, question, question – that must be the mantra of journalism. The day we forget that mantra, journalism is dead.

Why I Supported the Emergency By Khushwant Singh Penguin books (2009) Rs. 399.00

he Emergency has become a synonym for obscenity. Even men and women who were pillars of Emergency rule and misused their positions to harass innocent people against whom they had personal grudges try to distance themselves from their past in the hope that it will fade out of public memory forever. We must not allow them to get away with it,’ says Khuswant Singh, while fearlessly stating his own reasons for championing the Emergency. This bold and thought-provoking collection includes essays on Indira Gandhi’s government, the Nanavati Commission’s report on the 1984 riots and the riots themselves, as well as captivating pieces on the art of kissing and the importance of bathing. Alongside these are portraits of historical figures such as Bahadur Shah Zafar, General Dyer, Ghalib and Maharaja Ranjit Singh as well as candid profiles of the famous personalities he has known over the years, revealing intimate details about their lives and characters. From his reflections on Amrita Sher-Gil’s alleged promiscuity to the experience of watching a pornographic film with a stoic R.K. Narayan, this is Khuswant Singh at his controversial and iconoclastic best. Selected and edited by Sheela Reddy, Why I Supported the Emergency: Essays and Profiles covers three quarters of a century. Straight from the heart, this is unadulterated Khuswant Singh.
