Chappal Politics: What Your Footwear Says About Your City
Some say 'I have a government job," others say 'I'm running to tuition." It's not just what people wear. It's where they wear it. And why. Welcome to Chappal Politics, an India-style anthropology of the ground beneath our feet. Delhi: Floaters and Flip-Flops of the Working Warrior In Delhi-NCR summers, nothing says 'Survival Mode" like the oversized velcro floater that is usually black, always dusty, and spotted on metro platforms, momos joints, and tuition line-ups. It's the shoe of the salaried, the student, the delivery agent. It can go from bike to boardroom (if no one's looking). Why? Delhi walks hard. You need cushion, you need grip, and most importantly, you need to remove it easily at someone's house without embarrassment. Mumbai's fashion may be sharp, but its chappals are brutally practical. Come monsoon, all bets are off. Bata rubber sandals, PVC slip-ons, or no-brand market floaters dominate. No Mumbaikar trusts leather when the roads turn into rivers. Also, they walk a lot, from local stations to lanes, from vada pav stalls to Versova auditions. Their footwear needs to dry fast, survive trains, and preferably not cost more than Rs399. Bengaluru: Crocs, Sneakers, and the Startup Slouch If the city had an official uniform, it would be faded jeans, oversized hoodies, and Crocs with socks. Bengaluru's tech crowd doesn't care what's stylish, only what's comfortable during a 12-hour shift or a coding all-nighter. Outside Koramangala cafés, you'll see a footwear mashup: rubber sliders, unbranded sneakers, and sometimes barefoot yoga dudes. It's casual to the point of rebellion. Also, the city's weather which is neither too hot nor too wet lets any shoe survive. So the rules are looser. You do you. Kolkata: The Sandal of the Sceptic Leather sandals with metal buckles. Sometimes dusty, sometimes shiny, but always carried with intellectual confidence. That's Kolkata. This is the city of political protests and cultural lectures, and your footwear has to hold its own on College Street. You'll also see the classic Hawaii chappal, blue and white, Rs99, worn by rickshaw pullers and poets. There's pride in simplicity. Flashy sneakers here still feel like outsiders. Chennai: The Slip-on Code of Tradition Meets Function White veshti? Then white sandals. Tailored trousers? Then tan sandals. Chennai walks the line between formal and devotional, and the footwear reflects that. The city's heat makes anything closed-toe a punishment. Most residents prefer sandals that can go from temple to office to tea kadai. Also, slippers are expected to be removed often, at homes, shrines, or local Carnatic concerts: so slip-on ease is non-negotiable. Shillong, Gangtok & Beyond: Mountain Grip Required In hill cities, fashion may follow the terrain more than trend. You'll find high-ankle shoes, waterproof trekking sandals, and serious soles even at fruit stalls. Brands matter less than grip, especially in monsoon. Sneakers here are worn with pride, even at weddings. You never know when you'll need to climb. The Bigger Picture: Class, Climate, Culture What India wears on its feet is more than climate response, it's coded by commute patterns, caste and class mobility, social acceptability, and regional pride. Ever noticed how expensive shoes rarely step into crowded trains? Or how some slippers are 'only for temple"? Or how political rallies often see the same two or three styles? We may all live under the same sky, but our soles walk different stories. So, the Next Time You're Out…

DDA renovates and reopens historic Roshanara club in Delhi
New Delhi: Delhi Development Authority resumed operations at Roshanara Club in north Delhi after completing renovations that include modernised sports facilities, guest rooms and food services. DDA had taken over the club in 2023 after the lieutenant governor visited the club on Jan 12 that year and found it poorly managed. The revamped heritage club will be unveiled by LG VK Saxena on July 27. The refurbishment encompassed upgrades to the squash and badminton courts, swimming pool and various sections of the clubhouse building. "DDA completed the overhaul of the electrical infrastructure, while the air-conditioning system was enhanced with new units, and all ducting and wiring were properly concealed. The damaged fittings, switches, and light fixtures were replaced while keeping in mind the heritage character of the building. The civil works also involved anti-termite treatment, waterproofing, marble polishing, wooden flooring repairs, and renovations to sanitary facilities. These works will improve the aesthetics of the place and give long life to the structure," said a DDA official.

It is named after Begum Roshanara, the daughter of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who was buried in the adjacent Roshanara Bagh. The club has served as a lush retreat for its members for over 90 years. It is also considered the birthplace of the Board of Control for Cricket in India and to this date, offers a wide range of sports activities, including tennis (on synthetic and clay courts), basketball, table tennis, cricket, swimming, badminton, squash, futsal and yoga. These activities continued to take place even after DDA took over the club and began the revamp of the entire facility. The 22-acre property became entangled in legal proceedings after the authorities sealed it in 2023. According to DDA, the club's administration continued operations despite the expiry of the land lease. However, the former club management maintained that the sealing was carried out despite a stay order from Delhi High Court. "Noticing the century-old club in a state of sheer neglect and dilapidation with poor maintenance, LG directed DDA to take back the management of the club from the private entity that was running the institution," explained a DDA official. Saxena emphasised the need for immediate restoration and renovation of Roshanara Club to restore its glorious heritage and bring back the charm of a bygone era. " With the restoration work of the clubhouse completed, members can enjoys its sprawling lawns, vintage architecture, and sports activities," added another official.
