Rahul Jacob: A political shadow lengthens over London's South Asian summer
Earlier this summer, an unusual depiction of a zebra gifted to Mughal Emperor Jahangir drew attention to the Iranian artist Mansour, who had painted it. A white nephrite jade cup that was part of Shah Jahan's collection and subtly embossed with his titles was also much remarked upon. A good bit of the exhibition was on loan from the Al Sabah royal family of Kuwait. If asked to guess in which city this art appreciation crash course on Mughal India was being conducted, most of us would have picked London. Indeed, The Great Mughals exhibition, which ended on 5 May, offered a foretaste of a particularly South Asian flavour to London this summer. Also Read: Rahul Jacob: Liberals must combine compassion with aggression The British Museum currently has a show that pays tribute to the art and sculpture of Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism between 200 BCE and 600 CE in a show titled 'Ancient India: Living Traditions.' And ramblers through West London's mystically beautiful Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park would encounter both a retrospective to artist Arpita Singh and a temporary summer pavilion, a prestigious commission done annually that was designed this year by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum. The vaguely Cubist exterior of Tabassum's creation provided shade during this unusually warm past week. It featured a pop-up reading room, featuring books by South Asian authors. But whatever visitors made of the puzzling structure, it was yet another emblem of London's multiculturalism. The alternately moving and arresting Arpita Singh retrospective was thoughtfully put together by the Australian curator Tamsin Hong. At the National Theatre, publicity has already begun for staging Shakespeare's Hamlet in a couple of months, starring Hiran Abeysekera, an impishly gifted actor of Sri Lankan origin who also starred in Life of Pi. Also Read: The political divide is no longer left versus right but centrists versus populists The National Theatre is headed by another Briton of South Asian descent, Indhu Rubasingham. London has long been a trailblazer of what Salman Rushdie once described as a 'melange, hotchpotch, a bit of this and a bit of that." This, he added, 'is how newness enters the world." But, in this very Indian summer of high culture and high temperatures, at the forefront of the UK's paradoxical politics, populist leaders are gaining support by stoking anger against immigrants. This summer was also heralded by an unprecedentedly strong showing by Nigel Farage's Reform Party in May, when it won 677 of about 1,600 seats it sought to fill in local council elections, eating into support for the Conservative Party but also the ruling Labour party. A YouGov survey last week showed that if parliamentary elections were held today, Reform would win the most seats but not an outright majority. This is an alarming prospect at many levels, given that this party was the most vociferous proponent of Brexit, which has led to a loss of the UK's momentum in economic growth. Also Read: Ajit Ranade: What Mamdani's rise in New York tells us about welfarism versus populism The UK's Labour government led by Keir Starmer has had a lacklustre first year in office after winning what was aptly described by commentators as a 'loveless landslide" a year ago. On Wednesday, the bond market's nervousness over the government's policies resulted in a jump in 10-year bond yields. This was after the government had to water down proposals for welfare reform that seemed tone-deaf to demands for equity among Labour Members of Parliament. It was also an unfortunate reprise of a plan to cut winter fuel subsidies for pensioners, which was announced last year and contributed to the government getting almost no political honeymoon period at all. The rollback this week means the government will forgo £5 billion in savings. It required a forceful backing of Chancellor of Exchequer Rachel Reeves by Starmer for calm to be restored. Indifferent leadership in London creates more space for populists to gain power—just as we saw in Washington. And this will almost certainly put London's vibrancy as a cultural capital at risk. Can the centre hold? I am not sure anymore, but that is all the more reason to treasure London's melange of cultures. On Monday, friends hosted a sumptuous dinner that included plump English asparagus with a Middle Eastern touch to the dressing. One of the guests spoke authoritatively about Indian handloom; her company, Robe de Voyage, features khadi and 'ahimsa silk'. Another guest told me about a magical haveli in Rajasthan. In the vast variety of food options at Wimbledon, a sandwich filling startlingly included an onion pakora. I remain in awe of it all.

NDTV Exclusive: Metro...In Dino Star Ali Fazal On His Favourite Couple From The Original Film And On-Set Memories
New Delhi: What is love? Ali Fazal finds himself in a spot right when the conversation begins with this question, because Dino offers to address one of the most complex of emotions. "First question, and I'm in sort of a pickle. Jokes apart, it (love) is so many things. But most of all, it is assistance and the belief that keeps it going," the actor tells NDTV. Today, the most common complaint by a section of cinegoers is how romantic films have become an extinct species. However, with Dino, Anurag Basu attempts to bring back the same charm of his 2007 musical Life In with new relationships under microscope set against the backdrop of the ever-bustling Mumbai. Poster Ali Fazal stars in the role of a vulnerable and dreamy musician named Akash in Anurag Basu's Dino. The actor is paired opposite Fatima Sana Shaikh in the movie, set to be released on Friday (July 4, 2025). In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, the actor talks about the Bollywood films he draws inspiration from for his characters, his favourite pair from the original film Life In and much more. "I Am An Absolute Admirer Of Dilip Kumar" With timeless classics such as Devdas and Mughal-E-Azam to his credit, a cinema lover can never not be in love with Dilip Kumar in his lover-boy era. Ali Fazal is no different. The actor talks about the reel-life heroes he looks up to, irrespective of the genre of the film. He says, "I am an absolute admirer of Dilip Kumar, who had managed to pull off all kinds of cinema. Then there was Raj Kapoor and Kishore Kumar's comedy. There's Hulchul and Chupke Chupke. But we have just stopped making good comedy films." Metro And Un Dino Considering Dino is the follow-up to the 2007 film Life In comparisons are but natural. Ali Fazal says the cast and crew used to have conversations about how the first Metro film and the latest Dino were different. He recalls, "Basu Da would always say, now and then, how a particular sequence reminded him of the first part. Also, (film's music composer) Pritam and the whole band who were seen in the (first) film, it kind of became a signature element, as they are very much a character in this entire saga." "The way it was filmed back then and now is very different. So those are kind of the conversations we would have about part one. Irrfan Khan was, of course, missed, lots of people who are not a part of this one, even on the crew. It was special." As for choosing his favourite couple from the first part, the actor says, "It has to be Konkona and Irrfan. Something interesting happened there." A still from the film Shruti (Konkona) and Monty's (Irrfan) pairing is remembered till today because it was a quintessential example of opposites-attract. Their chemistry was devoid of cliches and thus was portrayed as an authentic and relatable union. Konkona Sen Sharma is also the only returning cast member in Dino from the original film. "As for this film, I am very excited to see how the stories of every couple pan out," he adds. "Basu Da Is A Master Here" Filmmaker Anurag Basu possesses the art of effortlessly blending music with storytelling. Ali Fazal says, "Basu Da is known for projecting varied emotions and in different kinds of films. I think he is a master of his art. And then music that binds everything together, he's also done the same thing this time from that thread." Speaking of the most hard-hitting scenes from the film, he says, "One of the most consuming scenes, maybe, is the rain sequence that's often referenced in the trailer. That was a hectic day." "It's a scene where I'm sitting, I'm drunk, by some tapri (tea stall) by the roadside. But I also believe, it is one of the most cinematic moments in the film. You'll know when you see it." Speaking of carrying traits of his on-screen character into real life, Ali Fazal says there's not much similarity between him and his Dino's character. He says, "I'm just a little funnier than this guy. I think I have a bit of a sense of humour. You'll see."
