SRIRANGAPATNA (SERINGAPATNAM) IS A town on an island in the River Kaveri in the state of Karnataka in southern India. I have been there several times as it is near a holy spot (the ‘sangam’, where three streams meet) where ashes of deceased Hindus, including those of my parents-in-law, are ceremoniously deposited in the waters of the Kaveri.

" From Gandhi to Hitler ": now here's a film title that makes you sit up and think. This is Bollywood's contribution to the history of the Second World War.It's just been released in India. It's a dreadful film, but interesting all the same. All of the Nazis portrayed in the film are true Aryans - they're all Indian, except for Magda Goebbels. For more details see: http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/preview/14325/index.html . When I saw it, there were 3 people in the cinema. One…

Dear friends, I have been neglecting Ipernity quite a bit, but have not forgotten about it. I could say that I have been busy with work and my writing, but that does not excuse my neglect. I want to wish everyone a very happy new year. Adam
