‘Will go to hell, but not Sudan’: Rescued Indians open up after Operation Kaveri???
In today’s edition, we speak to several Indians who were rescued from conflict-torn Sudan by the Centre under ‘Operation Kaveri’ about their harrowing experiences. Further, we look at how ‘mazdoors’ have been portrayed by Urdu poets and Hindi cinema – in a tribute to labourers on May Day. Apart from that, we go back to the era of the 1980s and explore the introduction of colour TVs and consumerism – which in many ways marked the advent of ‘New India’.
