Images and Politics in Peepli Live
"Peepli Live can be accused of the same crime that it accuses the media of – just scratching the surface of all issues it could in an hour and a half without really trying to push the envelope of discourse on any front, neither the role of media, nor agrarian crisis or indeed the crisis of Indian politics itself", says Tejal Kanitkar in a review of the movie in this post.

Art, truth and politics
Pragoti pays tribute to one of the greatest dramatists of the modern era, Harold Pinter. Pragoti expresses deep grief and condolence on Pinter's death on December 24, 2008. In his memory, we present Pinter's Nobel Acceptance Speech which concluded:
"I believe that despite the enormous odds which exist, unflinching, unswerving, fierce intellectual determination, as citizens, to define the real truth of our lives and our societies is a crucial obligation which devolves upon us all. It is in fact mandatory.
If such a determination is not embodied in our political vision we have no hope of restoring what is so nearly lost to us - the dignity of man."
